Raidon Barney Raidon Barney 6'9" | PF/C South Sevier | 2027 State UT is that modern prototype of a versatile big man, boasting an upside that is truly off the charts. While he is currently developing his game at the high school level, his long-term trajectory is something that becomes intriguing to programs at the next level. He WILL continue to add strength to his 6’9″ build, and his capacity to impact the game on both ends of the floor will only increase. He is a must-watch player in July.

Barney might be the best-kept secret when it comes to coaches recruiting this kid. Spring and summer will be important as he has a chance to show them that his game is a type of game that translates to the next level.

In PH Utah Expo Preview 5 Players Excited to Watch – Prep Hoops, Hector mentioned this kid has the opportunity to become a standout talent. He did exactly that. The best big on the court Saturday in my eyes, he’s quick and super lengthy. He showed an amazing touch both around the basket and from deep. His teammates were looking for him all day, and there wasn’t much the opposing team could do to slow him. Plus, he was getting stops on the other end.

Legit length and maybe a plus 2 on his wingspan. He was crashing the boards when he did not get an attempt, and he was just active all over the floor. He was not pouting about his touches; he was just out there being active, and he had a few thunderous drop-step dunks. It is safe to say that he will be blowing up this summer.

Barney is a player we’ve been watching since his freshman year. Now entering his junior year, he has made significant athletic improvements and is poised to become a much better player. As he refines his game, he has the potential to become a standout talent.

Barney is representing the small school players, and he possesses significant potential. His skill set is continually improving, and his length adds another valuable dimension to his game. He is expected to have a solid high school season, but in order to make an impact during club season in the spring, he will need to perform exceptionally well.

Barney is a raw talent that has interior skill set and he is just getting started. Look for this spring to be a breakout time for him to improve his skills and get to be a 10 PPG type of a player. With his size and his mobility he could easily pick up a few points a quarter just hanging out by the rim. He is blooming slowly but he is starting to bloom.

Barney has a lot of upside as a raw talented player. He has the mobility and whe he masters that quick one dribble and attack in the post his skill set will open up. He plays for a small school but he could elevate his game here as region play gets underway.
