Scouting Notebook📓⏩️ Brimmer & May vs. Putnam Science ‘24 @aggiembk signee Andre Mills had yet another in a long line of strong performances this season. While he used to be known as someone whose shot was a weak point in his game, he has put in the work to completely turn that around, as he is now one of the most impressive shot-makers in the entire region. His mechanics and touch are much improved and his ability to rise over contests on and off the dribble is a game-changer for Brimmer. Couple that with his slashing, and he is a real offensive threat. He has a quick first step, is a strong driver, and finishes through contact well. His playmaking continues to develop, too, as he projects to provide real value on and off ball at the next level. Beyond that, he continues to play with a motor that seems impossible to match, flying around to loose balls and boards and wreaking havoc on the defensive end.

Scouting Notebook📓⏩️ @PSAhoops vs. South Kent ‘25 @PCFriarsmbb commit Oswin Erhunmwunse continues to gain steam after working his way back from injury. He was uber productive and unbelievably imposing tonight, making the most of his minutes. The junior is a special vertical athlete, as you can see in the video below. Combine that with his strength and timing, and he has the tools to dominate the paint. Defensively, he completely altered his opponents’ decision-making with his shot blocking and rim deterrence. Whether he was recovering in a tilted defense or operating as the low man, he erased countless shot attempts. On the offensive end, he made his biggest presence felt on the glass, but also showed some intriguing touch and threw down some big time dunks.

Scouting Notebook📓⏩️ @PSAhoops vs. South Kent Available ‘24 PSA wing Justin Johnson was key for the Mustangs in a big win Tuesday. Fresh off an offer from Bryant, he put on a strong two-way performance. Offensively, his confidence in his shot and ability to make difficult jumpers well beyond the arc continue to stand out. He also showed flashes of intriguing decision making as a PnR ball handler. Beyond that, he put a lot of effort in defensively, tirelessly looking to create havoc and muck things up for his opponents.

Scouting Notebook📓⏩️ @SouthKentHoops vs. Putnam Science Despite still acclimating back from injury, ‘25 South Kent wing Badara Diakite grabbed our attention on Tuesday. He is an incredibly unique prospect with a combination of size, length, and fluidity you rarely see from a wing, especially at his age. In this one, he showed how seamlessly he can toggle between playing on and off the ball. His feel is advanced, as seen in his subtle passing manipulation and timely cutting. He also leverages his shooting flashes well to get downhill and showed some impressive footwork, decel, and tight space navigation as a slasher. His motor and length together were game-changing on the defensive end as well, as he crowded ball handlers, made plays in the passing lanes, and bothered shots at the rim.

Scouting Notebook📓⏩️ @PSAhoops vs. South Kent ‘26 Putnam Science big Ben Ahmed had a huge impact for his team tonight, looking like one of the most dominant players on the court despite being an underclassman. It continues to strike us not just how strong Ahmed’s frame is, but how well he knows how to use it. He is already adept to sealing and fighting for positioning early, battling through contact and leveraging his positioning and footwork to create advantageous windows in the post. He is also unrelenting on the glass, making him an absolute force to deal with. On the defensive end, he also moves better than you’d expect and is learning how to defend effectively in different situations, too.

Scouting Notebook📓⏩️ #HHClassic ‘24 Derik Queen had another dominant showing on Sunday in Springfield. On the offensive end, he seemed to be able to turn any touch into a 🪣 or a trip to the FT line. He plays with a combination of overwhelming force and pure polish that makes him an incredibly difficult assignment. He also could attack well as a rim runner, in the low post, or slashing out of faceup opportunities. On the defensive end, he continues to look spry, causing havoc with his aggressive PnR coverage, while also being a presence protecting the rim. 📸 @HoophallClassic

Scouting Notebook📓⏩️ #HHClassic ‘24 @CanesHoops signee Jalil Bethea was on an absolute 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 on Saturday. He put on an utterly elite shot-making display, draining shots from any distance and even doing so over contests and off his platform. He seemed to live at the FT line and made good on all his opportunities there, all en route to a 40-point outing. He also showed that he can create for others, making quick, decisive reads throughout the whole game, leading to 4 assists. 📸 @HoophallClassic

Scouting Notebook📓⏩️ #HHClassic Available ‘24 big Luke Bamgboye had a huge impact for @AZCompass_Prep on Sunday. He showed off a combination of great tools and a polish/poise beyond his years. Defensively, he was able to execute aggressive PnR coverages perfectly, while also being incredibly imposing as a weakside rim protector, leading to a grand total of five blocks. On the offensive end, he is a great screener, a timely roller and can finish with poise or power on the interior. 📸 @griffgreenberg
