College basketball officially tipped off and if we weren’t in the middle of a pandemic, the high school basketball scene would be exploding with season-opening events. The hope remains for a vaccine in order to have some sort of season, but if there’s one thing 2020 has taught us it’s that nothing is guaranteed.
Let’s take a look at some of the news from the past week.
OFFERS
2022 Gonzaga/Team Takeover wing Jared Turner Jared Turner 6'8" | SF Gonzaga | 2022 State MD received an offer from Penn State. The Nittany Lions are Turner’s first Big 10 offer and brings him to 11 offers in total. Turner has solid size for his position at 6-foot-6 and is a sniper from beyond the arc. He continues to grow into his body and improve his athleticism, which should add even more value to his game. Othre programs who have offered Turner include Bryant, DePaul, Florida International, George Washington, Hartford, High Point, Howard, Loyola (MD), Saint Joseph’s and Southern Utah.
2022 Gilman/Team Thrill point guard Christian Winborne Christian Winborne 6'2" | CG Gilman | 2022 State #199 Nation MD received an offer from Northwestern. The 6-foot-2 combo guard has witnessed his recruitment drastically increase since June. Winborne had a productive summer and proved to high major programs that he can play both on and off the ball. Bryant, Delaware State, Harvard, Howard, LSU, Mercer, Mount St. Mary’s, Morgan State, Nebraska, Penn, Seton Hall, UMBC, Virginia Tech and Xavier have also extended offers to Winborne.
2022 St. Andrew’s/Team Takeover wing Masai Troutman Masai Troutman 6'5" | SF St. Andrew's | 2022 State MD was offered by Northwestern. Troutman is one of the biggest stockrisers of the 2022 class from this summer. He went from virtually unknown to be sought after by high major programs because of his play this spring and summer with Team Takover. Troutman also has offers from Bryant, Florida, Georgetown, Indiana and Xavier.
TRANSFER NEWS
2022 wing Noah Batchelor Noah Batchelor 6'6" | SF IMG Academy | 2022 State #184 Nation FL announced yesterday that he will be transferring from Glenelg Country to IMG Academy where he will join the team and be eligible to play starting Monday. In the spring of his sophomore year, Batchelor took advantage of the USA Basketball Mini Camp stage and received a handful of offers from power five conference programs. The move to IMG will not only allow more high majors to get familiar with Batchelor, but also see him compete against elite competition around the country. It’s a move that should greatly benefit Batchelor on the floor and with his body to help prepare him for the next level.
