Continue ReadingThe strange, frustrating end to the 2019-2020 basketball season, if in fact it is the end, affords @PrepHoopsTN time to reconsider and revise. Time to revisit the Class of 2020 rankings and adjust to account for the player’s growth and stagnation. Rankings are subjective. Why did we rank these guys? Why are they at this spot? Take a look at several Class of 2020 prospects and learn a little about their reputation.

Read about #190-194.
Read about #195-200.
#186 Darion Shannon Darion Shannon 5'9" | PG East Robertson | 2020 State TN (East Robertson)
Darion Shannon Darion Shannon 5'9" | PG East Robertson | 2020 State TN was an enormous reason for East Robertson’s exciting advancement to the Class A State Tournament. Shannon’s cross is dirty. He gets the ball from left to right blindingly quick and defenders in his district constantly looked foolish as a result. Shannon is a creative dynamo. His speed is decent, but the guile and innovation escorted him to his senior success. Active hands defensively. Good court awareness.
#187 Tanner Prats Tanner Prats 6'4" | PF William Blount | 2020 State TN (William Blount)
Big man. High school 4/5. Good shoulders. College tweener. For the Governors, Prats served as a reliable finisher. Not overly explosive. Keeps his eyes active and mind sharp. Next to Cameron George Cameron George 6'4" | SF William Blount | 2020 State TN (PrepHoopsTN #103), Prats thrived. Frontline mates, the two created matchup problems and rebounding advanges.
#188 Myles Neely Myles Neely 6'0" | PG Harding Academy | 2020 State TN (Harding Academy)
Tough mentally and physically. Neely is not a big guard. He could be a top 150 player with a little more size. At 6-foot-0, Neely is a powerful senior guard and he played football for Harding Academy. Neely’s handle is just ok. His strengths are slashing, toughness, and leadership. With a brand new head coach (Greg Eubanks), Harding Academy needed senior leaders and Neely certainly helped in that regard. Finishes well around the rim.
#189 Zachary Street Zachary Street 5'11" | CG Stone Memorial | 2020 State TN (Stone Memorial)
As a member of the thing Stone Memorial senior class, Zachary was forced to re-establish his body and his game. Street did not make All-District as did his younger teammates (Zach Boyd, Jack Eldridge, Hunter Wattenbarger), perhaps because he was recovering from a severe leg injury (early 2019). “He had a good year,” shared Street’s AAU Coach Jason Winningham. “Great defender, strong kid that plays the game the right way!! Gets to the rim, can knock down shots.” Stone Memorial finished the season 17-13 with 5 games decided by 3 points or fewer.
#190 Mason Wyatt Mason Wyatt 6'4" | SF Cumberland County | 2020 State TN (Cumberland County)
Nimble. Good wind (endurance). Mason Wyatt Mason Wyatt 6'4" | SF Cumberland County | 2020 State TN was among the best players in District 7-AA. Wyatt consistently led CCHS in scoring and helped the Jets advance to the regional semifinals. Further, Wyatt’s Jets coasted through the regular season in 7-AA with an 8-0 record. What does Wyatt do well? He is an inside-outside threat. Wyatt’s feet are wonderful. Crafty and clever with the dribble in the open floor, Wyatt is surprisingly agile at 6-foot-4. His explosion laterally is better than his hops. Wyatt doesn’t really play above the rim. The guile in the halfcourt helps him create separation from similarly speedy defenders. Wyatt utilizes many tricks (pump fakes, jab steps, stop-and-go). This is his first time ranked in the PrepHoopsTN Top 200 as he certainly impressed during his senior season.
