Tomball, TX (Future150) -- The TBT Sports Disciples AAU program has some up-and-coming prospects in the 2018 class that aren't getting the buzz they deserve.
2018 SG Nathan McClure of Concordia Lutheran (TX) had great outings at both the Future150 Houston and Future150 All-American Camps this past summer. The 6'3" athletic guard highly impressed with his versatility to play and guard multiple positions, his ability to score in bunches and take over a game, as well as his passing abilities in transition.
"I've just been lifting weights and getting shots up on the shooting machine almost every day," McClure said. "My goal is to put 3500 shots a week."
McClure is certainly not a player you have to worry about not giving 110% effort when he's on the floor. As you can see here, his work ethic on and off the court is pretty impressive.
"Nate has been playing for me since his freshman year, and he's one of the best kids I've ever coached," Said McClure's AAU coach Anthony Willis. "He has improved so much and has that swagger when he's out on the court."
Speaking on terms of recruitment with the Texas product, he has seen light interest come from Incarnate Word and Monmouth. He definitely has the size to play at the D1 level, and this should only be the beginning for the two time Future150 camp all-star.
2018 SG Yosani Clay also playing at Concordia Lutheran (TX) with McClure was another pleasant surprise at Houston Camp over the summer. He used his big time leaping abilities and high motor to make plays on both ends of the floor and also hurt defenses with his skills on the perimeter.
"Yosani is one of my most improved players this year after bouncing back from a concussion injury," Coach Willis said. "He has De'Aaron Fox type potential with his high level athleticism and ability to knock down shots. I think he's going to be a sleeper in the area and end up as a mid/low-major D1 kid."
Clay certianly has the potential to be a good player at the D1 level, and a few college coaches have took notice of this, as Brown and Houston have both shown interest in him.
Concordia Junior Ready For Big Junior Season
Houston always puts out a significant amount of basketball talent, meaning there are always a plethora of sleeper prospects in the city. This year, Concordia (TX) junior Josh Davis might be next.
"Josh may be the one who's closest to being college ready out of the three. He's a 6'3" combo guard that isn't as athletic as Yosani or Nathan but he is very mature on and off the court. He played with the D1 Ambassadors on the Adidas Silver Circuit over the summer and has seen interest from Texas State and Texas A&M CC," said coach Anthony Willis.
An athletic wing with a beautiful shooting stroke, his scoring ability is pretty impressive for a prospect who's just beginning his junior season. A potent slasher with a solid mid-range game, he certainly has the look of the type of sleeper that is ready to break out in a big way this high school and AAU season, so stay tuned to Future150 as we track his progress.
