After evaluating last years High School season and very short Grassroots season I have compiled a list of the top 4 sophomore’s I’ll be watching closely.
Donovan Black Donovan Black 6'6" | PF Del Valle | 2023 State TX 6’7 – Onate
Black is every coaches dream come true. He is super bouncy and is not afraid to bang it out with a bigger opponent. I watched Black last year as he dominated our Prep Hoops Circuit. He is a strong ball handler and is very explosive when entering from a high post position. Black has a good mid range jump shot that is very difficult to block. He likes to play above the rim catching multiple lobs per game by his teammates. BIack can also defend the rim and is a high percentage shot blocker. I can see why Black is already on the radar of D1 Schools.
Gideon Harris Gideon Harris 6'2" | SF ABC Prep | 2023 State NM 5’11 – Legacy
Harris is arguably the best PG / SG in his class. He is extremely hard to guard and loves to have the ball in his hands during clutch moments. A great rebounder who is definitely not afraid of making contact. Harris gets up and down the court like a a speeding bullet. His speed also allows him to blow by defenders with ease and get to the rim. When you hear of rim attackers…you should think of Gideon Harris Gideon Harris 6'2" | SF ABC Prep | 2023 State NM .
Exodus Ayers Exodus Ayers 6'2" | CG La Cueva | 2023 NLG 5’11 – La Cueva
Ayers is by far one of the smartest basketball players in the state. He has a very high basketball IQ and nice court presence. He handles the ball very well and can get to the rim whenever he wants. He is extremely hard to defend because he can spread out the defense very easily and knock down the deep ball. His defense is not shy of anything spectacular either. if you show him the ball he’s going to take it. Ayers is a very fast, athletic point guard who is impressive to many. I look forward to seeing big things from him.
Judah Casaus Judah Casaus 6'0" | SG Del Norte | 2023 State NM 5’11 – Del Norte
Another high IQ player to look out for is Judah Casaus Judah Casaus 6'0" | SG Del Norte | 2023 State NM . An all-around slashing and shooting threat for defenders. Casauas has proven himself to be a nightmare to defend while he is in transition. Although, he is quick to get to the rim, you shouldn’t underestimate his shooting ability. He has a deadly outside jumper and 3 pointer. He is great defender with quick hands who gets a ton of rebounds on both sides. This kid has a knack for knowing where the ball is going to be at all times. As the season approaches remember the name of this talent.
