Jam Hines | Prep Hoops Scout
The other half of the formidable Boo Williams 4-5 duo alongside Kareem Stagg, Barksdale was a handful for opposing teams due to an impactful blend of size, length and relentless motor en route to averaging a double-double of 10 points and 11.6 rebounds.
Barksdale was a force on both ends of the glass, scoring several times on offensive rebounds and cleaning the glass in and out of his area including 17 rebounds against City Rock.
Barksdale had encouraging moments of touch that should be monitored. He knocked down multiple jumpers, showing comfort on catch-and-shoot baseline attempts and a push shot that could become a valuable weapon moving forward.

Read EvaluationSolomon Johnson | Prep Hoops Scout
Standing at 6-foot-7 with great positional size, Barksdale handled the ball very fluently and comfortably for someone at his size and age. He was able to beat defenders off the dribble and absorb contact on drives to maintain his balance and finish at the rim in traffic. Barksdale displayed his potential as the pick and roll ball handler as well as his patience with a live dribble in traffic as we saw him scan the floor as he snaked through the defense before getting to the rim to draw the foul on the shot on one possession.
