Hoskins is such a fluid athlete, and the thing about him is, he has been one of the top summer performers every single year, which lets me know that there is something with the change of scenery and being the focal point of the offense. For him to be a legit 6’8 forward, he’s able to do everything on the floor, which makes him such an interesting prospect. We just don’t get to see it a ton during the HS season, and based on what we see in the summer, it’s the only reason he might not be a top guy. He’s putting the ball on the floor and bringing it up, he’s shooting 3-pointers with a smooth shooting stroke, and he’s also a high flyer. He had a few dunks through the lane, had some reverse dunks on the baseline, and looked like one of the more complete players on the weekend. I think D3 schools should be going insane on his line. 

Zach Hoskins Zach Hoskins 6'8" | PF Liberty | 2027 State CO establishes an all-around impact at 6’8, featuring distinguished acceleration and poise off the triple threat. In the summer season before the 2025-2026 campaign kicked off, Hoskins was able to get to the basket with ease and manipulate defenses to circulate opportunities for himself and his teammates. Hoskins plays with fluidity and confidence, along with impressive ball control. Defensively, you can find Hoskins battling for every rebound he comes close to, boxing out his matchup with ease and dictating the tempo in transition. Able to swing up to the guard spot when needed, Hoskins’ versatility will stand out to each scout watching his contests.

Hoskins is a high-flying big man with a great motor, and that forces mismatches and advantages for Liberty. He finishes well around the rim, runs the floor, and doesn’t shy away from contact. He’s 6’7, and that size has benefited him for Liberty for rebounding as well as rim running. He’s a core piece for the Lancers as a glue guy. He’s their most important player as I truly feel they go as he allows them, so they will need his best these next couple of weeks. 

Hoskins made a statement this summer and he’s carried that momentum right into the season for Liberty. At 6’8, he’s a true matchup problem on the block, consistently carving out space to score, finish through contact, or throw down with authority above the rim. His impact goes far beyond points, as he controls the glass on both ends and anchors the defense with physical, disciplined play. His presence changes possessions and makes him one of the most impactful bigs to watch this season

Hoskins is a player who got a bit of varsity time a season ago but heads into his junior year on a mission. We saw him this summer, and from what we saw that Liberty team is going to be a team to keep an eye on as I think they will be one of the most improved teams in the state. Hoskins is going to help them immensely. He appears to have worked on his game, and when we saw him as a true 3-level scorer. He has great size at 6’8 and is a next-level athlete. He does a bit of everything. He dunks in traffic, steps out and shoots the 3-ball, and also protects the paint. He runs the floor and was one of the top standouts at our showcase as well. He jumps into the rankings for the first time but is a player that I feel turns heads this season. 

Hoskins might have been one of the most impressive players at The Expo, combining size, length and skill to dominate in multiple areas. He stretched the floor with confidence, knocking down threes that made him a constant threat on the perimeter. Inside he used his frame and athleticism to score through contact and finished plays above the rim with emphatic dunks. His ability to score both inside and out made him a matchup problem for any defender. Beyond his scoring Hoskins’ physical tools give him the versatility to impact the game in other ways. His length and activity helped on the boards, and he has the potential to guard multiple positions effectively. With his blend of perimeter shooting, inside finishing and defensive upside, Hoskins stood out as one of the most complete and dominant prospects at the event

Zach Hoskins Zach Hoskins 6'8" | PF Liberty | 2027 State CO was a force to be reckoned with at the Expo. At 6’8, Hoskins has the ball-handling skills of a guard while dunking everything down on the blocks. The versatility Hoskins brings to the court makes him a difference maker in any contest. Hoskins’ footwork is one of the most impressive aspects of his game, pivoting through defenders and consistently converting on tough looks.

There are not many players Hoskins’ size around the state, so he stands out when he is on the floor. He uses all of his 6’7 frame to get to his spots down low and finish. At Colorado Live, we got to see him in action for Liberty and certainly feel he is a player that should be on more radars. He’s a bit raw but has a developing skillset offensively. He moves well for his size and has a good feel for which hand to finish with. Defensively, he alters shots at the rim, secures the ball in the air, and starts the break. We want to see more of him as he’s a player that will continue to turn heads, but is a player we haven’t seen too much of. Here’s his opportunity.
