Eric Vanderhijden – 6’8 – Team Wall Elite
Eric Vanderhijden already has a brother who attends Bucknell University. He’s a prospect with the ability to play at the next level as well with his underrated athleticism and post skills. His jump shot from the outside is coming along as well. Look for his stock to rise in July.
Sam Perez – 6’8 – Team Wall Elite
Sam Perez is a solid wing at 6-foot-8 that can put the ball on the floor and get to the rim as well as stroke it from behind the arc. As he learns to find his motor, he’s a player that can score in bunches when he wants to. His recruitment should really grow this month.
Elijah Jamison – 6’3 – Team Loaded NC
Elijah Jamison was quite the setup man for his squad as they played in the 17U division. He ran the point guard spot and gets down and dirty on the defensive end. He already holds an offer from James Madison, look for that to change by the end of July.
B.J. Freeman – 6’5 – Team Loaded NC
B.J. Freeman continues to impress as a wing with guard skills. He had a number of coast-to-coast drives that showed his aggressiveness with the ball in his hands throughout the weekend. He continues to gain traction at the mid-major level. Most recently, he’s received an offer from Drake University.
Jalen McDonald – 6’5 – Team Loaded NC
Jalen Mcdonald is a freak athlete that has defenders getting out of the way when he’s got a line to the basket. He had a number of big dunks and even showed off his outside shot this past weekend with his squad. Once the live period hits, he should draw more interest/offers. Murray State was the first mid-major to offer.
Jacob Poclyn – 6’2 – BigShots Elite West Virginia
Jacob Poclyn is a prospect you don’t want to leave open behind the arc or he’ll make you pay. He made six 3-pointers to the tune of 21 points in his team’s opening game of the Carolina Invitational. He can also get to the rim when needed and finished the weekend averaging 17.0 points per game.
