This is Part II. Read Part I.
Kolbi Jordan (Camden)
2022, PG, 5-foot-8
Coach’s Analysis: He was overwhelmed. He was a ball hawk. I picked him up because he guards so well. I would put him on anybody, guard-wise. He is really fast. Good with his hands. He actually moves his feet. He knows how to put himself in the position. The running and the fast pace of the game…he has to adapt to that. He gets frustrated. He messed up a lot on the offensive end and he got upset. When he lost the ball, I told him to hustle back and go get it back. He was able to do that a few times.
Milton Clark (Huntingdon)
2021, SG, 5-foot-7
Coach’s Analysis: He can shoot the ball really good. He has no confidence at all. At all. I talked to some guys from his town and they said the coach didn’t give him that. If he misses a shot, then I have to take him out because he (dwells) on it.
DeMahri Wallace (Jackson North Side)
2022, G, 5-foot-6
Coach’s Analysis: For him to be as small as he is, he can get to the basket He is playing starting quarterback for their team this year. People think he is little, but he is stronger than they think he is. He was a 6th man this last year. He hit South Side for like 25 points this year in region. He got respect and South Side . He shoots the 3. South Side probably let up a little bit because they were up to so much. It was between 22-25 (points) but they were legit [and against] the Maclin, the J.J., the Kobe, Jailen.
College Chance?: Probably JuCo level.
Rodarius Transor (Lexington)
2022
Coach’s Analysis: Out with Coronavirus.
Rocky Hurley (Lexington)
2023, SG, 5-foot-9
Coach’s Analysis: He lives with me. His parents are nowhere. His home life has gotten him the way that he is. We have to calm him down a bit. He can shoot the ball and he is tough. He plays football, but his heart is set on basketball. His parents let him run around and do whatever. He is too cocky. Kobe is cocky but he can back it up.. Rocky doesnt have enough to back it up just yet. When he is not talking he can get ‘a lot done.’ Kobe has been working with him.
