This group of players is headlined by the PF from Greensboro, AL Jimmy Taylor and Jonathan Motley from Houston, TX. Look for a few of these player to make a significant jump in the rankings after this first liver period is over in April.
Class Rank: #60
Malcolm Hill- Pos: SG | H: 6’5” | Wt: 200
(Belleville, IL) High School: Belleville East High School
Hill is a long shooting guard who uses a mixture of length and athleticism to shoot over smaller defenders. He has a very solid mid-range game and finds ways to get his shot of in difficult situations. Hill has already committed to the Illini, so he will be staying close to home at the next level.
Class Rank: #61
Jarquez Smith- Pos: PF | Ht: 6’9” | Wt: 200
(Haddock, GA) High School: First Presbyterian Christian
Smith has a real nice skill set. He can face be a face up four man or a back to the basket big man. He’s also surprisingly athletic and runs the floor very well. With his range extending out to the three point line. He still has room to grow, making him a scary prospect.
Class Rank: #62
Dominic Woodson- Pos: PF | Ht: 6’10” | Wt: 265
(Round Rock, TX) High School: Vermont Academy
Dominic Woodson's presence is always felt. He is a ferocious rebounder who has great hands and finishes very well. He has great basketball IQ, and has a face up game along to go with it.
Class Rank: #63
Bryson Scott- Pos: SG | Ht: 6’1” | Wt: 175
(Fort Wayne, IN) High School: Northrop | AAU Team: Speice
Byson Scott is the ultimate competitor. He plays hard every time he touches the floor, and that’s a big part of his success. He uses his toughness and athleticism to get to the rim and finish with contact. This Purdue commit can also shoot the three well enough to keep the defense honest.
Class Rank: #64
Devin Williams- Pos: PF | Ht: 6’8” | Wt: 220
(Cincinnati, OH) High School: Withrow High School
Devin is a really good looking prospect. He uses his quickness to beat post players off the dribble, and over powers smaller defenders. Williams also finishes pretty well with both hands. With work on his mid-range game this kid can really jump in the rankings. Willams has over ten high major offers and more will come this summer.
Class Rank: #65
Paul Watson- Pos: SF | Ht: 6’6” | Wt: 180
(Phoenix, AZ) High School: Paradise Valley High School
Watson is as solid as they come. He has a great frame and knows how to score without the ball. He rebounds pretty good from the wing position and is always hanging around the paint looking for scoring opportunities.
Class Rank: #66
Jimmie Taylor- Pos: C | Ht: 6’10 | Wt: 210
(Greensboro, AL) High School: Greensboro High | AAU: Alabama Challenge
Taylor is a long athletic prospect who challenges every shot on defense. Taylor also rebounds the ball very well, and once he gets the rebound he outlets the ball and its off to the races. Taylor runs the floor very well and that put pressure on the teams transition defense. We can really see this kid having a big summer with the Alabama challenge and a lot more schools will offer him as a result. This kid may have the most upside in the class.
Class Rank: #67
Jonathan Motley - Pos: PF | Ht: 6’8” | Wt: 195
(Houston, TX) High School: North Shore High School
AAU: Franchise All-Stars
Motley is a long forward who is super athletic. He's not really a post up guy at this point, but he can beat a lot of big men off the dribble and use his athleticism and length to finish. This kid will be great in a up and down type of setting because he runs the floor so well.
Class Rank: #68
Jabari McGhee- Pos: SF | Ht: 6’5” | Wt: 185
(Albany, GA) High School: Monroe High School
Jabari is a super athletic wing who has a lot of energy on both ends of the court. He also has a great frame and strength that helps him finish in the lane with contact. He is a game changer on both ends of the floor and plays every game like its his last.
Class Rank: #69
Duane Wilson - Pos: PG | Ht: 6’3” | Wt: 176
(Milwaukee, WI) High School: Dominican High School
Duane Wilson is a solid combo guard who can play either guard position. He has a nice looking stroke that extends to three point range and he gets his shot off very quick. He also uses his quickness to beat defenders off the dribble.
