The Frisco League was a mixed bag college level talent. Coaches beware this list is full of sleeper talent ready to make an impact at the next level.
Celina
Senior Kobe Ollison is a brute. 6-7 245 and strong enough to put the team on his back. He eats space around the rim and actively rebounds. He’s very vocal on defense calling out screens and missed coverages. Ollison has takeover in his DNA. With less than two minutes on the clock, he demands the ball where his strength and baby hook are nearly automatic even against players with similar size. He’s a smart pick and roll defender using hard hedges to stunt the defender. Smart passer out of the post. Shoots well from high school three as a trailer. Surprisingly mobile when driving to the basket.

This is the first game I watched where Carson Holden‘s jumper wasn’t automatic, 1 of 5 from three, but he was still valuable without it. Using his speed and athleticism he changed the game defensively. He hustled for everything getting a chase down block, a bad charge call, and a plethora of game-changing closeouts. Offensively he didn’t give up resorting to midrange pull ups he made (1 of1).
This slender 6-7 combo forward is brimming with talent. Jared Langs‘ a sharpshooter from distance, a threat to pull up in the midrange, and scores out of the post with an array of hooks and fade-away jumpers.

Julian Cleary is a point guard prospect that controls the pace of the game. He brings a level head to the game and connects from three at a high rate as set shoot and on the ball. He finishes well around the basket and hustles on the court.
Jhi Jackson is a very active combo guard with a strong frame. At 6-4 he has the size to play both positions at the next level. When running an offense he’s a floor general setting the court and limiting turnovers rather than looking to score. Off the ball, he’s slasher with a growing midrange pull up game. He’s a high motor athlete and it shows on the defensive end. He’s everywhere you need him to be competing with a high awareness level.
This sophomore shows lead guard potential at 6-3. Thanks to senior Jhi Jackson leading the team he’s used more as a scorer than a facilitator. When Kendall Alexander has the ball in his hands the self creation starts. He has an efficient midrange shot but uses his length to score around the rim. Not the best defender yet but thanks to his long wingspan he keeps defenders in front of him.
