2020 Wing Ryan Wilcox (Hillsboro) Ranked PrepHoopsTN #26
Elite athlete. Rebound king. A high school 4-man, Ryan projects to start on the wing at Division II, perhaps play as role player a little higher. Ryan took an official visit to Florida College (NAIA) last month. Though he enjoyed his stay, he does not intend to sign with anyone this month in the Early Signing Period.
2021 Wing Will Montana (M.B.A.) Ranked PrepHoopsTN #26
Got up to full speed quickly. Played more frenetic when he was 14ish years old. Now, he is more controlled, but faster moving with or without the basketball. Montana is drawing college interest from five teams: Middle Tennessee, Belmont, Lipscomb, Bellarmine, Dartmouth. Streaky, but effortless shooter. Comfortable with corner three-pointers and baseline mid-range is smooth. Easy dunker.
2020 PG Isaiah Poore (Franklin Centennial)
Isaiah Poore, veteran of Tennessee Tigers , was asbolutely explosive Saturday morning and afternoon. Playing point guard in the place of departed Tre Carlton (Summit), Poore outran defenders and startled in the open floor. Tigers Head Coach Chip Smith raves about Poore. “Ultra-quick PG whose toughness, competitiveness and overall talent are definitely worthy of the next level. The young man can flat out get it done!!” Watch some film on Isaiah. Last month, I placed Isaiah on the Region 6AAA Preseason All-Region Team.
2021 PG Travis Dockery (Ridgeway) Ranked PrepHoopsTN #104
Speedy. Elusive with the dribble. Travis is more basketball advanced mentally than the players he faced Saturday. Clearly, Dockery put in days and hours in the gym in the last couple years. His game is improved since last I saw him (2017). The speed with which Travis plays was a little faster and more disruptive than most of the Nashville-area guards he met with. Ridgeway was the only team from Memphis in the gym. They did not dominate competition, but Dockery was faster than most and Josh Stinson was tougher and more brazen than most defenders. Dockery stands perhaps 5-foot-9, maybe an inch shorter. Dockery’s limitations appear to be outside shooting and he remains relatively quiet on the court. According to Dockery, no college coaches are talking to him just yet.
