2018 Mid-Major Prospects
Mid-Major 2018 Recruits
There is not much difference from a basketball standpoint in a recruit that can play at the high-major level or a recruit that would be valuable at the mid-major level. The difference may come down to a little better skill set or maybe a few inches in height.
Davien Williamson of Team Winston is one of the more electrifying prospects in the 2018 class. His speed and creativity in the open court sets him a part from many other guards. He is a player that could immediately help a mid-major program or come in a be a player that could be a great practice player/contribute in a year at the high-major level.
