College Projection: LM/LM-
Wonderful wingspan (7-foot-0), insane explosivity. Agbo deserved to be, and was, in the conversation for @PrepHoopsTN Combine MVP. Instead he ranked #3 on the day. Nobody completed more dunks, even Somto Cyril.
Back when Agbo played for Knoxville Christian he was predominately a bouncy center, but during his time with HHCA, Agbo matured and worked himself into an elite high school wing, and potential D1 impact player.
His weakness is outside shooting, but during the PrepHoopsTN Combine there was no need for him to shoot outside of 5’, because he was bigger, stronger, and often faster than anybody the defense could bring. Incredibly fast sprinter. Powerful turnover with the legs.
Agbo defended the post, and sometimes Somto Cyril, but probably can be a D1 combo forward defender.
Elite rebounder, especially for balls in his area. Agbo is a quick leaper with a devotion to hunting the free ones.

Jack Smith Jack Smith 6'5" | SG Hardin Valley | 2023 State TN was a fun watch. His passing skill was higher than most guards in the building even though he measured 6-foot-5.
He easily made the All-Star Team thanks to his willingness to create via the pass. There is a little sizzle to his game.
Smith’s straight-line speed could improve though his quickness is right inline with other large-school forwards. An area he should work to improve is change of direction and explosion.
He did not take many outside shots, so any evaluation concerning that aspect is unfair. Smith’s handle and passing drew the eye.
