Jimel Cofer (PG – 6’3″ Irving Universal Academy/Mudiay Elite 16U) — No. 42 to No.15
Cofer makes the twenty-six spot jump after using his size, length, and terrific athleticism to his advantage. The southpaw is a relentless slasher who will take his game to the next level once he plays for his teammates. His high-level drives free up shots for others but it is on him to make the right decision. He provides tremendous upside at the point guard spot with the intangibles he is blessed with.
Noah Robledo (SF – 6’6″ Leander/JL3 Elite E16) — No. 35 to No. 18
The second best prospect in Austin has quietly made a name for himself in the state. He exerts toughness on the glass and gets great lift on his jumper from the perimeter. His play throughout the spring did not go unnoticed as Robledo earned an invitation to the Nike Elite 100 Camp for the top underclassmen competing on the EYBL circuit.
Tyler Lundblade (SG – 6’4″ Grapevine Faith/Drive Nation) — No. 34 to No. 19
Lundblade is a strong and tough off-ball guard who is an excellent shooter out to 23 feet. He is always aggressive in looking to score and is comfortable taking and making contested attempts. Lundblade had a strong start to the grassroots season playing on 16U and finished off Session III of the EYBL circuit playing up on 17U.
Juan Reyna (SG – 6’2″ Antonian College Prep/Drive Nation) — No. 32 to No. 23
Reyna’s ultimate strength is his ability to make shots out from the parking lot. He looks to get to any spot from behind the arc, launch, and then convert. The lefty has a quick trigger from deep and is a confident sniper. He currently holds one offer from his hometown school UTSA.
C.J. Noland (SG – 6’2″ Waxahachie/Pro Skills E16) — No. 33 to No. 24
Noland’s work ethic is evident through the transformation of his body. The once thick guard has trimmed down and it has resulted in a quicker first step to the rim. No matter what platform he has performed on, Noland has proved that he could be counted on to consistently produce. His efforts (specifically on the circuit) has earned his Pro Skills team a Peach Jam berth and himself offers from Austin Peay and Troy.
Damon Nicholas (SF – 6’4″ Duncanville/Marcus Smart YGC36 16U) — No. 43 to No. 29
The state champion wing has been a consistent scorer for YGC36 throughout the spring. He is starting to show a decent stroke from long range off the catch. But his main strength is beating defenders off the rip and finishing through tremendous amounts of contact off of straight-line drives. He currently is without any offers, but his finishing ability and willingness to rebound will be treasured by college coaches during the Live Period.
