It is a big opportunity to see changes in roles, and to see teams start building towards the upcoming season. There are several prospects that are looking to carry momentum from spring into the summer season. Here area 10 prospects to watch in June:
Austin Harvell (East Limestone)- Harvell played in the spring with the Alabama Fusion, who were loaded on the perimeter. The 6’6 wing is East Limestone’s go to player. Seeing how he adapts to being the No. 1 option will be good to see. Harvell will also have opportunities to showcase his ability at invite only camps this summer.
Trey Bonham (UMS-Wright)- Bonham has already gotten off to a hot start in June. At South Alabama’s team camp, the 5’11-6’0 point guard put on a show. Bonham showed his improved scoring ability and was in attack mode from the jump. This kid is really starting to come into his own and is a prospect LM and MM level schools should have on the board.
Kam Woods (Pinson Valley)- Woods had an underwhelming spring. He has been labeled as an inefficient volume scorer and an average playmaker. At 5’11, Woods would be an undersized guard off the ball. This kid needs to be motivated heading into June and show improved consistency, efficiency, and playmaking ability.
Jalen Myers (Bob Jones)- Myers is a very intriguing option on the perimeter with his size (6’7) and skill set. This spring, Myers fell in love with shooting 3s too much, when he should be showing the full scoring arsenal. This kid is a tough matchup when he is in attack mode. LM-MM schools should be all over this Myers.
Shannon Grant (Sylacauga)- Grant has an opportunity to be the best true big in the state. At 6’10 290, he is a monster. He moves extremely well, has soft hands, range to 18ft, and is an active rebounder. His major problem is conditioning. If Grant improves his body and shows that he can play for long stretches on the floor, recruiting will skyrocket.
Cameron Boozer (Lanett)- Boozer is gifted with size (6’9) and athleticism. This spring he showed range beyond the 3 point line, was active on the glass, and challenged shots at the rim. This kid is too athletic and skilled to disappear in games. Boozer needs to attack June and show more aggression. He has the talent to be a No. 1 option.
Tyler Lang (Leflore)- Like his Fusion teammate Harvell, Lang was asked to play out of position and have a smaller role. The 6’6 wing deserves all the credit for being a team first guy. Lang has an opportunity to be the No. 1 option for Leflore. This kid can score at all 3 levels and lock up the opponent’s best perimeter player. LM-MM teams should have Lang on their board.
Aaron Moore (Sacred Heart)- Jayden Stone is gone. Khalil Watkins is gone. The 6’6 Moore has a huge opportunity to be the guy for Sacred Heart. He is a solid athlete and has a unique skill set. Right now, Moore is not polished enough to be a full time perimeter player, but he is skilled and athletic enough to be a mismatch against bigger defenders.
Holt Bashinsky (Mountain Brook)- Mountain Brook lost a lot of talent to graduation. Bashinsky has an opportunity to be a great fit next to Colby Jones. The 6’5 shooting guard provides perimeter shooting and length for a Mountain Book team that lost a lot of scoring punch.
De’Marquiese Miles (Lee Montgomery)- Miles was a critical piece for the 7A runner up. Lee lost talented pieces to graduation and needs a No. 1 option. Miles is a 6’2 combo guard who has the leadership ability and skill set to take on that role. Known for his lockdown defense and playmaking, Duke will need to show improved scoring ability and consistency to be a No. 1 option.
