Continue ReadingPretty crazy that we are two-thirds of the way through the year. The summer circuit is winding down and kids will be back to school in a few weeks. That also means the clock starts ticking on high school games returning. Furthermore, most gyms should have a full capacity of fans. It will be nice to witness that atmosphere again (I hope).
Let’s look into some notes as we start the new month.
Justin Abson Justin Abson 6'9" | PF North Broward Prep | 2022 State #230 Nation FL – North Broward Prep
2022 Justin Abson Justin Abson 6'9" | PF North Broward Prep | 2022 State #230 Nation FL had a slew of offers come in during the month of July. The 6-foot-9 forward earned letters from High Point, Murray State, Stetson, Charlotte and American. Abson continues to cement himself as a low/mid-major prospect. He has dominated defensively for the NightRydas Elite this summer. I always thought his rebounding and shot blocking ability was elite. At 235-pounds, Abson’s strength will continue to push him forward.
Anquan Boldin Jr Anquan Boldin Jr 6'5" | CG IMG Academy | 2023 FL . – St. Andrew’s
I don’t think its a coincidence that Anquan Boldin Jr Anquan Boldin Jr 6'5" | CG IMG Academy | 2023 FL . earned three offers last month. The 6-foot-5 guard picked up letters from Barry, Albany State and Lynn. Two of those schools (Barry,Lynn) are in the Sunshine State Conference. Boldin has played well this summer with highlight real plays for Ball4Lyfe. His recruitment should continue to speed up beyond the local level. I think his senior season at St. Andrew’s will prove that.
Andrew Akuchie Andrew Akuchie 6'8" | PF St. Thomas Aquinas | 2022 State FL – St. Thomas Aquinas
2022 Andrew Akuchie Andrew Akuchie 6'8" | PF St. Thomas Aquinas | 2022 State FL earned an offer Canisius College in late July. The 6-foot-9 forward has turned on the jets this summer for Florida Pro. Akuchie’s two-way versatility is looking very good. He can face up and shoot as well as rebound and block shots. Moreover, his natural length and athleticism will be tough to defend in transition. Akuchie will only become more difficult to contain as he puts on more weight.
Edward Nnamoko Edward Nnamoko 6'10" | C Riviera Prep | 2022 State FL – Riviera Prep
2022 Edward Nnamoko Edward Nnamoko 6'10" | C Riviera Prep | 2022 State FL could end up being one of the better bigs I have covered down here. I only say it that way because he has another season to improve his stock. The 6-foot-10, 225-pound center earned offers from Longwood, Charlotte, Winthrop, Temple and Tulsa in July. The scary thing is Nnamoko only started playing basketball in 2017. The Nigerian native came to the United States in 2019. Could those factors make him a big-time sleeper? You have to assume Nnamoko has untapped potential. He should continue to develop and become a dominant figure in the paint. He plays on the circuit for Shahbaz Elite. I look forward to watching him play this fall.
