Do they succumb to extensive pressure or do they handle with patience, confidence, and unselfishness? Two, can they setup teammates to score? While a guard that scores 20+ is nice, if they cannot distribute the basketball efficiently, it is a glaring weakness. Finally, more athletic guards and taller players tend to impress me most. Today I review the Point Guards in the 2021 class and breakdown Top 10 guys in the new rankings.
Name | Current Ranking | Height | High School | College Commitment |
---|---|---|---|---|
Nate Johnson | 5 | 6'4 | Lakota East | |
Seth Wilson | 6 | 6'1 | Lorain | West Virginia |
Jalen Sullinger | 9 | 5'10 | Thomas Worthington | |
Corey Tripp | 15 | 6'1 | Medina | |
Jamarr Talbert | 17 | 6'2 | Richmond Heights | |
Jaden Hameed | 23 | 5'11 | VASJ | |
Luke Chicone | 25 | 5'9 | Mentor | Youngstown State |
Ben Knostman | 39 | 6'3 | Tippecanoe | |
Jonah Waag | 40 | 6'2 | VASJ | |
Jakada Stone | 43 | 6'1 | Aiken |
By the Numbers:
- 3 prospects from SW Ohio, 6 prospects from NE Ohio, and 1 prospect from Central Ohio
- 2 current college commitments and both are D1 (Wilson is committed to West Virginia and Chicone is committed to Youngstown State)
- 1 set of teammates as Hameed and Waag both attend VASJ in Cleveland.
- 0 state champions over the last 2 years.
