Expert Analysis
Max Rosenberg | Prep Hoops Scout
Ashley may have had the most impressive game of the entire event. He had 30 and 11 just by simply being a basketball player and understanding the flow of the game. It didn’t look like he had any plays called for him, but by being positioned properly on the glass, he had three put backs. He also was able to use his frame to carve out space in the paint and pump fake his defenders, drawing them off balance and opening up visibility to finish off the glass. Ashley also had three blocks and a steal on the defensive side of the ball. Other scouts were raving about his game for the remainder of the event as well. Ashley has not yet decided on where he will attend college, but wherever he ends up will get a high motor, high-energy player who knows how to do all of the little things to help get wins for his squad.

Verot’s big man is a tremendous shot blocker, where he averaged just over 3 bpg last season. Ashley is a long, athletic prospect with great jumping ability. He’s able to guard multiple positions and protect the rim down low, or defend out on the wing effectively when needed. His wingspan allows him to alter shots both inside and out, and he’s an excellent offensive rebounder who can finish around the rim while absorbing contact.

Ashley will be a major factor for the Vikings and their success this season. Bishop Verot looks to be one of the top teams in the area in 2024-25, and the 6’7″ PF will have a lot to do with that. He is a long, athletic prospect with great speed, who is outstanding in transition. He likes to play above the rim, but also has a smooth stroke from the outside, and has the ability to knock down the three ball when needed. Defensively, he can guard multiple positions and is a tremendous shot blocker. He rebounds the ball very well on both ends of the court, and looks to push the ball and get out and run. Ashley is a unique prospect who coaches should have their eye on as he enters his senior year.

One of the taller prospects in SWFL, Ashley comes over to the Vikings from cross-town rival Canterbury. He’s a big man who can work down low but also has a nice soft touch. He can definitely put the ball in the basket but where I think he stands out is on the defensive end. His length and wingspan allow him to alter shots, which make him a headache in the middle for opposing offenses, not too mention being a major factor on the boards. Ashley is an intriguing prospect with size, length, and athleticism, that you should continue to monitor throughout this season.
