Recently picked up an offer from NDSU (also has an offer from UND). Khaliq does it all at a high level and he checks all the boxes with his length/athleticism/skill. Austin is a relentless and diligent worker; he is a gym rat. Khaliq can dominate at every level while also making real-time adjustments to help give his team an edge. He is a thief on defense, a momentum-changing dunker, a dynamite slasher, a skilled passer, and a long-range sniper.

After a cold start shooting when I watched him on Saturday, Khaliq would rebound with arguably the best individual performance I’ve seen all spring on Sunday. The 6’4 guard finished with 37 points and a handful of assists in a win over a talented Wisconsin Academy team, and was putting up points in a number of ways. Khaliq drained a handful of pull-up jumpers from well beyond the arc, showing he can create separation with ease off limited dribbles. In transition he was just about unstoppable getting to the rim for dunks, but if defenders stepped in on him late, Khaliq had the quick reactions to dump it off to a teammate for an open lay-up. It was a high level performance from a high level prospect.

Austin and Terry likely form the top backcourt duo in Pool A. Khaliq is coming off an outstanding high school season and has carried that momentum into the first two tournaments this spring. He’s a big, strong, do-it-all guard with a complete skill set and the ability to make plays in a variety of ways. Austin already holds a Division I offer, and it’s easy to see why—his game and long-term potential stand out immediately. With his blend of size, skill, and production, he’s a player coaches are paying close attention to. Austin is a must-watch at the TC Takedown.
