A roster of players that had mostly competed with Progeny’s UA Grind team in the spring not only competed on the UAA Circuit this weekend in Cartersville, Georgia, but won a couple of games as well. Ford was a big part of their relatively smooth transition to a higher level of competition. The strong 6’2” guard is a relentless downhill driver and has shot it well throughout the spring and summer. His highlights from the UAA live session really popped. Ford checks a lot of physically and is a talented playmaker off of the bounce.

We’ve seen Ford play a lot, and we’ve seen him play very well a lot, but he was on fire on Tuesday night for Brebeuf Jesuit against Lawrence North. The 6’2″ guard got hot from three-point range making a few tough ones off of the ballscreen in a row, using his strength to finish at the end of his drives at the rim, and jumped a passing lane for a pick-6 layup. Adding consistent three-point shooting ability to his athleticism and strength off of the dribble would really raise him a level as a prospect. His performance on Tuesday night was fun to watch.
