Max Mkpa 6’8″ G 2022 (Featured) – Max is long and has great energy. This guard from the United Kingdom was impressive to say the least. It’s always nice when you have a 6’7″ guard that can run your offense. He looked like a young Kevin Durant. He was a great facilitator for his team and was able to get multiple rebounds with his long reach. He was comfortable attacking the basket from all angles and made some nice mid range jumpers. He also played extremely well above the rim.
Rob Martinez 6’4″ F 2023 – Rob is a very strong forward who is built like a football player. This guy is all muscle. I watched him battle it out with some big boys and he always held his own. He is a solid inside post player with good footwork. He has a nice inside jumper and gets a high number of defensive stops and rebounds. Rob is also a very good shooter from 3 point land. I watched him go 6-7 in a game shooting the long ball.
Alex Rael 5’10” 2023 – Alex is all about high energy. He is constantly rallying his team and has a great attitude on the court. He is a solid defender who can frustrate other players with his quick hands. His real strength is in his shooting. This kid is a flat out sniper. He shoots with high proficiency and will make you pay if you give him any space. He is definitely a sophomore that other coaches will be watching.
Brandon Oloumou 6’10” C 2022 – Brandon is a beast. He is an excellent rebounder who protects the rim fiercely. At 6’10” he is a monster underneath. Many teams struggle against him because of his size and strength. He is a huge problem when trying to match up. This Bahama born native is going to give Menaul HS a huge edge this year. What was also impressive was his ability to hit 3 pointers. I watched him drain 3 in one game.
