Corey Evans @coreyevans_10 Checking out this winter's breakout in Bishop Walsh forward Olivier Robinson-Nkamhoua. Tennessee's Rick Barnes is expected in to see him on Monday Last year 2019 Olivier Nkamhoua of Richard Montgomery was forced to sit out due to a broken tibia. This summer he is close to 100 percent and has been one of the breakout players in the Capitol Hoops Summer League. Right now he is standing at about 6’7 and is a versatile player that can shoot the ball but also get to the basket if his shot is not falling. He does a good job of attacking the glass and fighting for second chance opportunities. His long arms allows him to stretch out and play good defense. I would love to see more schools closer on the low to mid major level reach out to Olivier. As mentioned above, last year was very tough for Olivier as he was forced to sit out due to a broken tibia, “I feel like every game I am getting my instincts back and my game is getting even better than it was before the injury happened.” On the AAU circuit he is playing with 6th Man and he talked to us about how that is going, “We have had some tough losses but we have also had some good wins and we are a very new team, like none of us have ever played together so we are building a good team chemistry and starting to slowly improve and build a good structure.” Improvement is the major goal this summer for Nkamhoua, ”I just want to improve, I need to make sure that both of my legs are even stronger than what they were and make sure no more injuries are going to happen which means getting stronger, more physical, get faster, smarter at the game, get my shot better and get ready for my senior season.” In my opinion Olivier is one of the more underrated players in our area and know for a fact he could benefit a college program one day. He feels the same way too and talked about what he could bring to a college program. “I feel like I can fit into any type of system and just be one of those guys that can score when I am needed to score and be up when it is needed to be up and just really be a really strong role player. I can be a leader if it is needed, like any type of role that is available, I will be happy to take it and just give it my all and do my absolute best.” www.prephoops.com/2018/06/prospect-spotlight-2019-olivier-nkamhoua/Olivier Robinson-Nkamhoua is this winter’s breakout. The Finnish forward was sidelined last year thanks to a broken leg, but each time he hits the court, he gets better and better. While he is far from a complete product, his fluidity, solid set of early ball skills and ball-hawking abilities on defense have placed his name on the tongues of a number of high-major coaching staffs nationally. Tennessee’s Rick Barnes is expected in on Monday for him just as Maryland’s Mark Turgeon was in to see him last Friday. Look for the Bishop Walsh product to schedule his allotted official visits in the coming weeks as Illinois, Kansas State, Minnesota, Pitt, Seton Hall, St. Joe’s, Wake Forest, and Wofford sit among the others that have a chance to host Robinson-Nkamhoua. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/alhambra-classic-eight-hot-takes

Transferring to Legacy Charter in South Carolina turned out to be a great move for Jalyn McCreary. The new addition to the 2019 Rivals150 has not only given himself a better chance at qualifying next year but his college options have expanded since making the move. The athletic 6-foot-7 forward originally from Georgia said he has had the most contact recently with Arkansas, Georgia State, Pittsburgh and South Carolina. He previously took official visits to DePaul and South Florida, but neither school remains in the mix. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/options-expanding-for-three-star-jalyn-mccrearyRanked No. 132, Jalyn McCreary produces every night. He didn’t get a lot of love over the summer, but has been tremendous each time that I have seen him this winter. He might be a tweener, but McCreary has no issues fitting in where his rebounding, defense and competitive mindset make him a worthwhile four-star prospect and a top available player heading into the late signing period next month. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/rivals-roundtable-class-of-2020-point-guards-final-four-sleepers

Tristan Enaruna, who will be on display along with several of other highly respected international prospects this weekend at the Basketball Without Borders Global Camp (more on the event below), is seeing increased interest during a strong senior year. Enaruna is a 6-foot-7, skilled and multi-dimensional prospect who came to the U.S. as a junior from the Netherlands. Enaruna has been tucked away in Mt. Pleasant, Utah, but thanks to his Wasatch Academy’s ascent into the upper tier of high school teams this winter, more eyes have been placed on him, which has only expanded his college suitor list. Enaruna told Rivals.com that Creighton, Kansas and Miami are three of the programs that are most often in touch with him, though Illinois, Texas and Texas Tech that have remained in the picture. Texas has yet to offer. The Blue Jays have been recruiting Enaruna for the longest, but Kansas and Miami’s offer earlier this year, along with their continued pursuit of him, have made an impression. Meanwhile, Enaruna would like to begin taking his official visits after his high school season ends. Wherever he does end up, one should expect a playmaking forward that is ambidextrous to a certain extent, can play either forward position and should make for a positive impact on a high-major playing floor from the get-go. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/three-point-play-a-unique-sec-matchup-enaruna-update-bwb-eventIt was the best that we have seen Tristan Enaruna play to date as he looked like a legitimate NBA Draft target while competing against some of the most touted international prospects. Enaruna sports a great frame that he should fill out and while he has been knocked for his toughness in the past, he did show the capacity to play through contact and take the bump before finishing at the basket. Eraruna remains at his best as an ambidextrous playmaker in the frontcourt that can throw precise passes on the go and also convert on nifty off-handed runners in the lane. What put things over the top was his consistent perimeter jumper that we had never seen before. He was one of the biggest stock boosters in Charlotte. The Netherlands native is currently hearing the most from Creighton, Kansas, Miami, Texas and Texas Tech. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/basketball-without-borders-standouts-notesIn terms of Watford, Duke has not offered him a scholarship yet, and it’s not a shoo-in that they do. They’ve also actively started to recruit Tristan Enaruna and Cassius Stanley. 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/LongFormArticle/Duke-UNC-NBA-prospects--129842448/#129842448_9

I don't think he's a scholarship guy, but I do not see how in the world Sidwell G Jason Gibson isn't worth a look. He only has an offer from Towson but he lit up St John's in the DCSAA semifinals and then was MVP of the tournament as his team beat #1 Wilson with Dimingus Stevens (Louisville or UMD) and Jay Heath (BC). The idea that he doesn't have some Patriot League offers is unfathomable.

I preface this statement by saying I know nothing regarding Achiuwa's intentions or overall recruitment outside of St. John's previous involvement, but it gives me reason to pause when an elite recruit (All American Burger Boy) says he's wide open at this stage of the process. Makes me wonder what i$ he looking for in a $chool and ba$ketball program? Ha$ he not been given the offer he'$ looking for in a program? I'$ he announcing that he i$ wide open to increa$e hi$ offer$? Just que$tion$! And yeah Achiuwa's definitely not under the radar...

Still think he should've ended up somewhere better than Towson.

Unlike a prep year, he would have to sit out a year.

German star Isaiah Ihnen plans to visit three schools on a swing through the United States, he tells 247Sports. "The schools I decided on to visit are Minnesota, TCU and Tennessee," Ihnen said. "The time period is the 19th of April until the 24th." On the court, Ihnen, a 6-foot-9, 205-pound forward, is known for his versatility and athletic ability. “I would say that I am a versatile wing,” Ihnen told 247Sports. “I can shoot, handle the ball, and play above the rim. I can play the positions two through the four, but I would call myself a small forward. I can defend the one through the four." 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/German-forward-Isaiah-Ihnen-to-visit-three-high-majors--130525388/
