Continue ReadingIt’s closing time in the 2020 recruiting cycle. With the 2019-20 season now complete, the pool of talent continues to dwindle as college programs work to put the finishing touches on their recruiting classes. Tuesday at noon, J.J. Platt committed to Jacksonville State University (commitment video below). His departure from the available point guard list accentuates an already thin list of skilled floor generals.
Here’s an in-depth look an the top available point guards still on the board in Tennessee.
Kavion McClain Kavion McClain 5'6" | PG Whitehaven | 2020 State TN – Whitehaven
Best guess right now is that McClain ends up going the junior college route and winds up at a Division 1 program in two years. Elite athleticism that is barely human. McClain keeps getting better each year. Keep in mind he started for a top Class AAA team for three consecutive seasons.
Marvin Hughes Marvin Hughes 6'1" | PG McGavock | 2020 State TN – McGavock
Pure winner. Scored over 2,000 career points and started from his freshman year throughout. Durable. Incredibly intelligent. High test score/G.P.A. Extremely coachable .
RJ Berkley RJ Berkley 6'2" | PG MAHS | 2020 State TN – MAHS
Alvin Miles Alvin Miles 5'6" | PG Whitehaven | 2020 State TN – Whitehaven
Ricky Shotwell Ricky Shotwell 5'5" | PG Melrose | 2020 State TN – Melrose
Edward “Dudda” Lacy – Fulton
Isaiah Cathey Isaiah Cathey 6'1" | PG Memphis East | 2020 State TN – Memphis East
2018 State Champion.
Jamari Jackson Jamari Jackson 5'10" | PG Power Center | 2020 State TN – Power Center
Dominic Wynn Dominic Wynn 5'10" | PG Ensworth | 2020 State TN – Ensworth
Brother plays football for Army. Wynn is an exceptionally fast and fit guard with handles to match. Plus athlete. High character.
Masyn Winningham Masyn Winningham 6'1" | PG White County | 2020 State TN – White County
All-District. Owner of 5 offers. Among the best shooters in the state.
Rickey Lofties Rickey Lofties 6'2" | PG Bartlett | 2020 State TN – Bartlett
Lofties made All-District in a deep district. He returned to Bartlett High after spending his junior year with Raleigh-Egypt. Bartlett is a creator with combo guard tendencies.
Anthony Burks Anthony Burks 6'2" | PG Hamilton | 2020 State TN – Hamliton
2018 State Champion
Charterio Porter Charterio Porter 6'0" | PG BTW | 2020 State TN – Booker T. Washington
In my opinion, Porter was destined to be a 2020 State Champion in Class A. His team was just too deep and talented for the Class A field. We will never know. Porter is a terror with the ball in his hands.
Justin Borders Justin Borders 5'8" | PG Cordova | 2020 State TN – Cordova
Jet-quick.
Peyton West Peyton West 6'0" | PG Monterey | 2020 State TN – Monterey
Travontae Powell Travontae Powell 5'11" | PG Covington | 2020 State TN – Covington
Dynamic scorer. Capable of stringing together baskets from various points on the floor.
Jason Coleman Jason Coleman 5'10" | PG Overton | 2020 State TN – Overton
Natural leader. Great on-ball defender. Heady. Impeccable basketball brain. Strong, short point guard. Outside shot is better than average, but certainly needs continued improvement to truly expand his game.
Marcus Tankersley Marcus Tankersley 6'3" | PG Hamilton Heights | 2020 State TN – Hamilton Heights Christian Academy
2020 NACA Champion. A little lumbering for a point guard. His agility improved in the last year. Tankersley can finish in the open floor. Good physique for a entry level college combo or lead guard. Needs to improve his handle.
Devin Kline Devin Kline 6'3" | PG LaVergne | 2020 State TNWonderful height for the position.
Jeff Norment Jeff Norment 5'11" | PG Bolivar Central | 2020 State TN – Bolivar Central
Has a qualifying test. Gritty. Can score or create. Loves the game.
