Here’s a look at part two of some of the many top glue guys in the state.
Jayden Evans Jayden Evans 6'5" | SF Walsingham | 2022 State VA | 6’4” WF | Hampton Christian
Evans is one of the 757’s best glue guys and most under the radar prospects as he is the type of player who can impact the game on both ends with his energy and athleticism whether he’s getting a lot of touches or not. He’s a long and dynamic athlete that can play above the rim in transition, guard the other team’s best player and he rebounds well and makes plays on both ends of the floor.
Kashawn Cordes Kashawn Cordes 6'4" | SF Hermitage | 2022 State VA | 6’3” WF | Hermitage
Cordes is one of the most improved players in the Richmond area over the past few years, and with his length and versatility he’s the type of player that you can plug and play in different systems. He’s a versatile defender who is active and makes plays with his length, he’s able to put it on the deck and finish at the rim or make plays for others and he’s always around the ball and making winning plays.
Stephen Barbour Stephen Barbour 6'0" | SG Glenvar | 2022 State VA | 6’0” WG | Glenvar
Barbour is a high upside guard who can play both guard positions, but what makes him such a good glue guy is that he is a fierce defender and high motor hustle guy that will do whatever it takes to make winning plays for his team. Barbour is fast and thrives in the open floor where he can make plays for himself and others, he’s a tenacious on ball defender and he’s a gritty and tough nosed guy who leaves it all on the floor.
Josiah Banks Josiah Banks 6'3" | SF Floyd County | 2023 VA | 6’3” WF | Floyd County
Banks is one of SWVA’s hidden gems as the 6’3” wing is a guy who can do a little bit of everything and has big upside with his length and athleticism. He has good length and uses it to be a versatile defender and cause problems and get deflections and challenge shots, he’s a good rebounder and finisher in the paint and he’s versatile offensively as he can handle and initiate the offense and create for himself and others.
Charlie Jackson Charlie Jackson 6'5" | PF Episcopal | 2022 State VA | 6’5” F | Episcopal
Jackson is one of the IAC’s most underrated prospects as he is a high motor forward that can play and guard multiple positions and is very productive in a number of ways. On the offensive end he can play on the perimeter where he can make shots and make plays for others, he is a tough nosed defender and plays hard on both ends and he’s an excellent rebounder at his size making him a walking double-double whenever he steps on the floor.
Nick Booker | 5’8” PG | Steward School
Booker is the type of small guard that coaches love as he’s lightning quick off the bounce, makes plays with his ability to touch the paint and he’s a tenacious on ball defender that can guard the length of the floor. He’s a tough nosed kid who plays with grit and a high motor, he makes all the hustle plays and will sacrifice his body for the team and he is a nightmare to matchup with as he never gets tired and applies pressure the whole game.
