Trey Trull | 6’2″ SF | Sacred Heart of Jesus High School
Trull is a very interesting prospect. He possesses the ability to play all over the court lining up anywhere from shooting guard to power forward position. Plays bigger than 6’2″ on the court, is very comfortable scoring in the paint. Trey is an above-average rebounder for wing grabbing 8.2 boards a game last season. Was a key contributor for Sacred Heart last season picking up 4 “player of the game” awards. He is a very consistent shooter averaging 54% from the floor but needs to improve his 56% free throw percentage. If he can develop his playmaking ability over these next few seasons he would develop into one of the most complete “wing forwards” in the state by 2022.
Rodgerick Robinson | 6’1″ SG | Middleton
Robinson is a tremendously talented scorer. He has a real skill scoring the ball, racking up 20 games with double-digit points last season. Robinson had a huge impact on Middleton as a freshman winning 10 “player of the game” awards for Middleton last season. When a freshman is averaging 14 points per game that’s impressive enough, but when you add 2 assist and 6 rebounds per game to that, it makes his freshman season even that more special. He loves to pull up from mid-range and that’s obviously where he feels the most comfortable shooting the ball. Robinson will need to improve his playmaking ability if he plans to stick to the shooting guard position, I could see him switching to Small forward later down the line in his career especially with his great rebounding ability that he already possesses. Look for Robinson to take a big step forward in 2020.
Will Keltner | 6’1″ PS/SG | Trinity
Once Will gets into the paint its over, his finishing ability and layup package are nearly impossible for opposing defenses to handle. Will might be the most solid freshman player I’ve seen in the past few months. Averaging 13.3 points a game and leading all Tennessee freshman in triple-doubles with 7 just proves how complete his game already is at such a young age. I would like to see him improve on his 55% free throw percentage, but he has plenty of time to polish that up. He has outstanding court awareness, knows when to shoot, pass, and drive at the right time. If Will continues to develop his game, I could see him being a solid player at the next level in a few seasons.
Here is some highlights from my Freshman season. My season stats, too. Ready for AAU and next season!!
387 points (13.3 ppg) with a 45% FGP
183 rebounds (6.3 rpg)
80 assists (2.8 apg)
34 steals (1.2 spg)https://t.co/68CObT3aNb— Will Keltner (@wkeltner23) March 18, 2020
Hayden Llewellyn | 6’2″ PG | Jellico
Llewellyn has some of the smoothest most fluid movements I’ve ever seen from a Freshman. He possesses above-average ball-handling ability and already has insane dunking ability as well. Hayden is an absolute scoring prodigy averaging 26 points per game during his freshman year. He made his All-District and All-region teams as a freshman and if he can develop his outside shot, it would not be a surprise to see him competing for the state scoring title for the next three years. He is lethal from mid-range and that shot seems automatic at times for him. He is an absolute terror in transition, with his speed and quickness he is able to get down the floor at an impressive pace. Look for Llewellyn to take a huge step in his production this season.
