Scout’s Notes:
Future150 National All-American Camp (October 8th-9th, 2016): At 6’7” Merriweather was one of the more versatile frontcourt players at camp this weekend. His mid-range jump shot is deadly and he has worked extremely hard on adding the spot up three to his offensive arsenal as well. Even though he’s not super athletic, he rebounded the ball very well on both ends and there were plenty of moments where he bailed his team out when they took a bad shot by cleaning up on the offensive glass. He needs to continue to stay in the weight room and adding muscle to his frame as he has a real shot at being a low major player at the D1 level. -Zac Lyon
Future150 Atlanta Main Event (April 8th-10th, 2016): A bouncy face-up four man, Merriweather looks to be just scratching the surface of his potential. He can hit mid-range jumpers and is quick enough to take his man off the dribble. He isn't the strongest player, and will need to get tougher in order to guard bigger players.
