But even with a sizable group of players having come off the board, a decent pool of talent still exists for college programs still trying to make some late additions to their 2016 recruiting classes.
Below is the first of a two-part series examining some of the top remaining talent in the 2016 class:
Jervae Robinson, 6-2 guard, Overland
We recently profiled Robinson, a potentially explosive lead guard who continues to elevate his game. Robinson took over at The Show all-star game last week, leading all scorers with 27 points while making the game-winning 3-point shot at the buzzer. Robinson has some interest from the University of Denver and Coastal Carolina, and in our view he would bring a lot to a low to mid-major Division I backcourt.
Tyrei Randall, 6-5 wing, Rangeview
The athletic lefty, who led Rangeview to one of its best seasons in school history while averaging 16.6 points per game, has recently landed Division I offers from Rider University and Coastal Carolina. Has really improved his outside shooting to go with a long and smooth attack game.
Antonio Capley, 6-11 center, Ralston Valley
The state’s top remaining unsigned big man has had some strong moments during the first two NCAA live periods with Billups Elite, our top-rated 17U grassroots team in Colorado. Capley projects as a solid rim protector at the next level, and his footwork continues to improve. He has garnered Division I attention and we would expect him to sign at that level. Would bring good front court depth.
Chudier Bile, 6-6 forward, Denver South
Wherever Bile ends up, he will immediately infuse a dose of toughness to a program. Bile is a joy to watch rebound because he attacks the glass with ferocity. He has athletic leaping ability, but he also has the want-to key for all big-time rebounders. Bile will begin his career at a junior college and will be a player to keep an eye on.
Jonathan Scott, 6-4 guard, Lewis-Palmer
Scott, the brother of former University of Colorado standout Josh Scott, averaged 17.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists last season for a Lewis-Palmer team that went 24-2. He’s got a college build already, and he has a great knowledge and feel for the game. Scott was among the state’s elite invited to The Show all-star game this year.
Troy Brady, 6-0 guard, ThunderRidge
Brady is the best unsigned shooter remaining in the 2016 class, and he has been one of the best long-range marksmen in Colorado period. He’s deadly as a catch-and-shoot guy, but Brady has also worked very hard to be able to create his shot in other ways. Brady would be a big-time Division II steal.
Riley Matticks, 6-1 point guard, Legend
Matticks was one of the best point guards in the state this season, and he made a big leap during his senior year as a player who could attack and get his shot. Matticks has a keen understanding of the position and inherent feel for how to get guys involved, but he straight up took over games down the stretch last season with his ability to get in the lane and create. Last we spoke with Matticks at the end of his senior season, he was still weighing his options. He could certainly run the show for a Division II program.
Dominic Coleman, 6-4 guard, Chaparral
The smooth-shooting and athletically attacking guard has a great chance to end his college career on a Division I court. But he will start it in the junior-college ranks and has plenty of interest at that level to choose from.
