For the sake of time, I will be listing the players who recieved the most buzz and attention for the month of July and just exactly why their stock rose. Interestingly enough, we saw the spike in recruiting occur for players in multiple classes, which is tremendous for the area and really emphasizes the talent in the 757.
Donald Hand Jr- 6’5 CG 2022
Why: Size and potential.
Donald Hand Jr is the ideal size already for a college guard. At around 6’5, Hand Jr can get his shot off against a majority of the competition. Schools like Clemson have become active in the recruiting of this promising rising junior.

Why: Playmaking
It was only a matter of time before Clary garnered even more attention. In July we saw Clary rake in multiple offers. The strong, disciplined point guard has a Chris Paul bulldog mentality, making him a coveted 2022 floor general. Schools like Texas A&M offered this steady lead guard.

Jr put on a show in the last couple of events he played in in July. Banks Jr is a legitimate combo guard who excels in high stakes situations. The 6’4 guard is a proven scorer, and his numbers in AAU caused more than 10 schools to inquire about his talents since July.
Josiah Rickards- 6’3 CG 2023
Why: Insane potential.
This one might be my fault. Ever since I saw Josiah in June at a workout, his growth as a player was undeniable. Rickards is already 6’3 and is a smooth guard. The shifty guard can run either guard spot and compliments his scoring package with sneaky athleticism. Multiple D1 schools that I have spoken with have added Rickards to their lists.
