Continue ReadingThe change in the recruiting cycle is going to be a big change for everyone. Right as we thought we were going to be getting out on the road, we get shut down. So, in order to spend as much effort as we can in getting players seen, we are going to do what we call, 3-Packs.
With these, we want to highlight 3 players who are similar in class and position. Get some time to dive into some quick thoughts, stat breakdowns, and film. Today, we are looking at 2023 Guards in A.J. Dunn, Ashton Williamson Ashton Williamson 6'2" | PG Gary 21st Century | 2023 State #287 Nation IN , and Jaylen Mullen Jaylen Mullen 6'0" | PG North Daviess | 2023 State IN .
A.J. Dunn – 5’10 PG 2023 – Yorktown (IN)
Stats: N/A
Thoughts: Dunn is a thin lead guard who can score the ball pretty well. Has a real smooth shot and good feel for the game. Knows where he needs to be in order to make good plays. Will need some strength but he should grow quite a bit still. Would argue he is one of the more quicker guards in his class. Dunn is the type of prospect that should get better and better each year. Keep an eye on Dunn.

– 6’2 SG 2023 – Calumet (IN)
Stats: 11.3 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 5.2 apg
Thoughts: Williamson is a big, athletic wing with a good amount of talent. He can fill up the stat sheet pretty easily and can really make his presence known when he is playing. Pretty good in transition and has a great pull-up jumper. Looks as though, right now, he looks to attack the rim rather than shoot a jumper. Williamson is the type of prospect that is going to have schools looking at him sooner rather than later. Lot of upside in this highly-skilled prospect.
Jaylen Mullen

– 5’10 PG 2023 – North Daviess (IN)
Stats: N/A
Thoughts: Mullen is a solid lead guard with some length and a good bit of energy. He has a good amount of speed and handles to create in the half court and transition. Is a pretty good shooter already and can do a lot with the ball in his hands. Also has some of the better court vision and IQ we have seen in the 2023 class. Should fill out his frame and add a little bit more height pretty soon. Smart prospect with the talent to pair with it. Mullen has all the potential to be really good.
