Expert Analysis

Michael Roth

Prep Hoops National Analyst and Ohio Lead Scout

One of the fastest rising prospects in Indiana, Cunningham joined a short-handed Wildcat Select squad and has fit nicely into their new starting lineup. The biggest reason for his sudden rise has been a big improvement as a perimeter shooter, Cunningham continued to show that with at least three or four 3-pointers in a Thursday morning blowout victory. His frame and defensive tools also stand out as he looked like one of the better athletes on the court as well. Already holding 10 Division I offers with his first coming in June, Cunningham is seeing a fast rise in his recruitment.

We are officially all-in on Melakih Cunningham Melakih Cunningham 6'6" | SF Moravian Prep / YNG Dreamerz | 2025 State NC after Saturday at the Charlie Hughes Shootout. He is set to shoot up our Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2025 Prospect Rankings when we give them a full update in July. The athletic 6’5″ wing was excellent on Saturday showcasing his ability to attack the rim off of the dribble, make pull-up jump shots, and connect on catch-and-shoot threes. Cunningham is also an effective defender with his positional size and incredible length. His strong play earned him three more Division I offers from IU-Indianapolis, Miami (OH), and SIU-Edwardsville.

Crispus Attucks won a back and forth battle with Cincinnati Wyoming and Cunningham impacted the game on both ends of the court. A wing forward with good length, Cunningham has the frame to impact the game defensively at a high level. A block from behind that led to a transition opportunity was the easiest way to see how Cunningham’s length can impact the game. Combine that with a couple time and space 3-pointers and a slam dunk to put the cherry on top of a complete performance, Cunningham looks like a player ready to breakout as a senior.
