Expert Analysis
Neam Baattai | Prep Hoops Scout
Daye Kaba was one of the most talked about prospects this weekend. Daye is an unsigned 2024, so his play this weekend turned many heads. He is versatile and skilled. He has the length to be a wing but can be a two-guard. He attacks the rim with force and is a skilled finisher. At 6’6 and long arms, Daye can give you a lot as a defender, and he has the potential to be an outstanding two-way player.

Daye Kaba fresh off his senior season with Eagle Academy Bronx, is continuing to showcase elite skills this Spring. Kaba is long athletic, and at Made Hoops NYC Clash played with an added tenacity. During the weekend, Kaba exhibited more improvement in his long distance and midrange jumpers. But Kaba also did a good job of not settling for shots, and knew when to shoot versus attacking the rim. On the defensive end, Kaba guarded 1-4 and continues to be active in passing lanes. With interest from NJIT, Old Dominion, New Hampshire, Manhattan, and UAlbany, Kaba is likely to commit soon.

The 6-foot-6 swingman is a versatile defender and high level rebounder (11 PG) who can score slashing to the rim or on put backs. Fellow senior guard D’Andre Gibbs has a right to be on this list himself, as they both average 15 points a game. As the #1 seed in the Bronx, they’ll get Fanny Lou Hammer in Round One.

transferred to Eagle Academy Bronx for his upcoming senior campaign and already looks like a stud for last year’s Bronx AA Division champions. Because of his size and athleticism Kaba is a threat with the ball in his hands from everywhere on the floor. Often Kaba was able to breakdown his defender off the dribble and get to the rim for easy or acrobatic layups. When called upon Kaba also hits shots from the perimeter. With that said, Kaba plays with intensity on the defensive side of the ball as well. Because of his length, Kaba gets into passing lanes and bothers opponents attempting to drive to the basket. We expect Kaba to continue to be a stud for Eagle BX once the season starts.
