A splendid example. That SRD also qualifies for the all-name squad as well. To be fair, Tim-Iggy could easily be our doooood for 2019. He has all the dooood qualities, except that he wasn’t a late signing. Yeah, I read that this Dood (I'll call him Breaker) is a projected top 5 NBA draft pick. That's some Dood.

Looking for a sleeper late in the year? Try Finnish forward Olivier Robinson-Nkamhoua. The 6-foot-8 senior with the Bishop Walsh program was out of sight last year thanks to a broken leg and has just been in the United States for two years. However, Coach Dan Prete may have a major breakout candidate on his hand. He finished with 15 points, six rebounds and three blocks in his team’s hard-fought defeat as he is the perfect small ball power forward in today’s game. Arkansas and Wake Forest have begun to show greater attention with the intriguing forward. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/bishop-walsh-invitational-what-we-learned-heard-can-predict-to-happen

What is his game like? If he is more of a wing then a true PF I'm all for it!

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-mccreary

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-event

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-notes

There’s been an influx of international talent to the college basketball game over the past 10 years. One international player that made an impact at his college and moved on to the NBA is former Michigan big man Moritz Wagner. Now his brother – Franz Wagner -- is considering following a similar path to college. “I still don’t know what I want to do next year whether it’s staying here or going to college,” Wagner told 247Sports. If Wagner opts for the college route, Stanford, Michigan and Butler are the three schools he said has prioritized him. Stanford even sent Associate Head Coach Adam Cohen out to see him recently. Wagner broke down what sticks out about each of those schools: Stanford: “The academic part obviously. I like that a lot. That’s probably it. Basketball-wise there are schools that are way more competitive but I think it’s unique that you can play NCAA and at the same time get that kind of education.” Michigan:“I’ve been there because I visited my brother and obviously he only had good things to say about it. He’s just told me how much the guys compete around you and appreciate you being there and help you adjust to everything. Just from his experiences I think it’s very intriguing when you hear something like that.” Butler:“Mainly the coaches because it’s the former assistant from Michigan so they kind of knew me from Mo as well and Mo just said he loved the coach when he was an assistant at Michigan.” Wagner said he doesn’t have a timeline on making his pro or college decision, but he did say if he opts to take college visits he would do it in the summer. “I’m thinking that I will be able to do it at the end of the season now,” Wagner said. “If I’m going to visit one or two then it will be in the summer.” 247Sports doesn’t rank international prospects until they make a commitment to a college, but if Wagner was in the United States he would be rated as a relatively high four-star recruit. 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/German-star-Franz-Wagner-considering-college-pro-options-129733913/

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.

How dare you demean Sherwyn like he wasn't better than Mac McClung. Is Mac McClung tearing up the floor to the tune of 34% from the field this year? I DIDN'T THINK SO.

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/
