Louisiana Composite All-State 3rd Team
Point Guard: Romin Williams MVP 5’10 G 2017 Country Day (Emory College commit)
With three state titles under his belt, Romin Williams is one of the most successful basketball players in the history of Louisiana, and there isn’t much he can’t do. He is a high volume scorer, and when he is going, there isn’t many that can stop him. He has earned multiple D1 offers, but has chosen to put his education first by committing to Emory College.
Shooting Guard: LeAaron Cain 6’2 G 2017 East Ascension
Cain is a guard that is capable of filling up the stat sheet in a hurry, as can be seen with his 25 first half points last season. He has gotten much better with the ball in his hand this season, but at the next level will need to play off ball.

Small forward: J’son Brooks 6’7 F 2017 LaGrange
Brooks’ team might not have had the optimal team success that he was looking for, but he was still on of the top players in the entire state. He is a “pick your poison” player, where if you choose to put a big on him, he will just dribble right by him, and if you put a guard on him, he is capable of posting him up. He played out of position for LaGrange, and I see him playing the 3 more at the next level.
Power Forward: Dexter Dennis 6’5 F 2017 Baker
Dexter Dennis’ transfer from Southern Lab might have had the single biggest impact on a team in the state. Had he still been at Southern Lab, they might have won the state championship this season, instead of LCA. But instead, he was far and away the best player for Baker, and as a result put up some ridiculous numbers. Over the course of the season, Dennis put up 25 ppg and 15 rpg while leading Baker to a top 10 seed in the playoffs.
Center: Jordan Foster 6’9 C 2017 Comeaux (Lamar commit)
Behind future pro Mitchell Robinson, Jordan Foster was the best rim protector in the state this season. He has a natural feel and timing for blocking shots, and affecting every shot taken in the paint. He is a great example of a difference maker that doesn’t need the ball in his hands to be successful.
