is a force inside because of his size, strength and athleticism. He attacks the rim hard for dunks and crashes the glass relentlessly, going up strong with two hands on both the offensive and defensive ends, making him a constant double-digit rebound threat. He moves well and positions himself effectively in the paint to create scoring opportunities, while also using his presence defensively to block or alter shots. Some of his standout performances have included six points and eight rebounds in a championship game, along with a 14-point, 15-rebound outing during the same tournament.

A possible X Factor in for one of the top state title contenders this season, John moves up 17 spots from 99th to 82nd. Brecount has improved considerably every time I’ve seen him play and does not shy away from physical contact. On a Cov Cath team that lacks a really strong inside presence, the big man could provide exactly that and be a big difference maker this season.

A name that isn’t familiar to many, Brecount has legitimate size and has become much more athletic and coordinated in the last year or so. John should be a varsity rotation player for the Colonels and could be an X factor in the always competitive 9th region. If Brecount shows he can move well enough to guard multiple positions, he should push for a solid role with Cov Cath and could work his way on to college radars over the next calendar year.
