🇬🇷 6’9 Freshman Neoklis Avdalas with another solid all around game tonight for @HokiesMBB in a win against Saint Joseph’s. • 14 PTS • 7 AST • 5 REB The freshman sensation continues his excellent all around play showcasing his versatile skillset once again. Handles the ball with confidence and showcases an excellent feel for the game. He’s a high level shot maker who can score at all 3 levels. Will surely be climbing up the draft board of NBA teams! @BarstoolVTech @ryanhammer09 @ssn_cbb @tyler_rucker @prospectsGR @therealdcunna

6'1 G John Mobley Jr. vs. Youngstown State: • 16 PTS • 3 AST • 5/9 FG (55.6% FG) • 3/4 3PT The Ohio State freshman is one of the most talented rookie guards in the COUNTRY! Had 14 PTS in his first game against Texas and is looking like one of the most dangerous shooters in the Big Ten. @jmobleyjr @Ronnie1Steward @OhioStateHoops @SSN_Buckeyes @John_Fanta @Landgrant33

Per reports from @AdamZagoria, the schools involved with 🇨🇦 6'4 PG Xaivian Lee include: Florida Duke North Carolina BYU St. John's Stanford Absolutely ELECTRIC talent who ranks #5 in my mid-major analytics transfer model with a 99th percentile AST%, 94th percentile dribble jumper, and 96th percentile OWS/40. Lee is a quick twitch athlete who can create shots off the dribble like few in the COUNTRY, and he's a gifted playmaker who had 8+ AST in seven games this season. Should be on draft boards heading into next season. @xaivianlee @ThePortalReport @NorthPoleHoops @GeorgeSLangberg @FloridaBBHour @BDevilsNation @KeepingItHeel @rtmccombs @ByuSome @rumbleSBN @JohnniesTape @Stanford_247

7'0 F Magoon Gwath was SENSATIONAL today in a win over Fresno State: • 25 PTS • 10 REB • 2 BLK • 10/13 FG • 3/4 3PT Gwath has been outstanding defensively this season, averaging a ridiculous 3.7 BLK through 7 games for SDSU, and today he showed his offensive upside - hitting three threes (including a smooth transition pull-up!!) and finishing at the rim with his length and athleticism. Keep an eye on Gwath - as the redshirt freshman continues to get comfortable, he could end up being one of the most impactful young players in COUNTRY!! @mid_madness @magoongwath @Aztec_MBB @AztecTracker @DevineGospel @Sports760

6'9 Sophomore G/F Antonio Chol out of Garden City CC is one of the HOTTEST RECRUITS in the COUNTRY!! Chol is a freak athlete who is an absolutely ridiculous shot creator at his size. He had an impressive season at Garden City, averaging: • 19.5 PPG • 7.6 RPG • 39.7% 3PT (7.5 3PA/G!!) Chol is one of the BEST SHOOTERS in college basketball regardless of level, with a quick, smooth release that he can get off at any time against any opponent. Defensively, he's also impressive with very good steal (0.9 STL) and block (1.4 BLK) numbers, per Synergy. Chol has heard from many programs including Kansas, Ole Miss, Xavier, LSU, Oklahoma State, Xavier, Providence, Cal, VCU, New Mexico, & Duquesne, per his management @risemngt. A long term NBA prospect and a HIGH LEVEL talent!! @slimxtonio @SoeliteBBall @ThePortalReport @JUCOadvocate @JucoRecruiting

5'10 PG Budd Clark PUT ON A SHOW in a tight loss vs. Stanford today: • 32 PTS • 6 REB • 3 AST • 14/21 FG (66.7% FG) Absolutely special change of pace & shot creation from the Merrimack sophomore, who is one of the best mid-range scorers in the COUNTRY as an 'undersized' guard who plays a lot bigger than he looks. Clark is must see TV!! @buddclarkk @mid_madness @MerrimackMBB @StoolMerrimack @Sam_Federman @SeanPaulCBB @stf_ncaa @coachboc

Here are the top 10 returning college NBA prospects heading into 2025-26, per my analytics-based draft model: Labaron Philon, 6'4 G, Alabama: Philon was a borderline first round pick candidate at Alabama last season, producing at a high level per 40 mins. Most notable was his high AST%, BLK%, & STL% as a freshman playing on the team with the highest strength of schedule in all of college basketball last season. Tomislav Ivisic, 7'1 C, Illinois: From an analytics perspective, Ivisic was impressive last season as a sophomore, with 99th percentile finishing around the rim (80.5% FG!!), 91st percentile AST% among all college centers, and 7.2 3PA/40. Jacob Cofie, 6'10 PF, USC: Long, athletic forward with some impressive defensive numbers in his freshman season at Virginia, including a 98th percentile STL% among all college forwards. I love his mix of physical tools & feel. Bennett Stirtz, 6'4 PG, Iowa: Stirtz's numbers were literally off the charts last season at Drake, finishing 90th percentile or above in 9 out of the 16 statistical categories in the model. It will be interesting to see how his game translates to B1G. Mason Falslev, 6'3 CG, Utah State: Versatile, efficient guard who rebounds the ball at a high level (7.8 REB/40) and had impressive numbers across the board, from C&S threes to AST% to STL%. JT Toppin, 6'9 PF/C, Texas Tech: Dominant finisher around the basket who was a vey impressive shot blocker (84th percentile BLK%) & rebounder (13.8 REB/40!!) in his sophomore year. Magoon Gwath, 7'0 PF/C, San Diego State: Gwath's mix of insane shot blocking (99th percentile BLK%) and intriguing floor stretching & shot creation abilities make him one of the highest upside returning players in college. PJ Haggerty, 6'3 PG, Kansas State: For all the questions about how his game translates to the NBA, it's hard to ignore Haggerty's ridiculous productivity. He shot the ball much better in his junior year, gets to the free throw line at an unbelievable rate (8.5 FTA/40), and was above the 80th percentile among all college guards in both AST% & STL%. Miles Byrd, 6'7 SF, San Diego State: A defensive menace (99th percentile BLK% + 98th percentile STL%!!) who has shown a ton of potential for growth on the offensive end heading into this season. Yaxel Lendeborg, 6'9 PF/C, Michigan: Lendeborg was one of the best players in the country last season, posting impressive numbers across the board. It will be interesting to see how he produces at Michigan this season. @DraftJunkyJames @Barlowe500 @DraftPow @DraftDeeper @Sam_Vecenie @johnhollinger @NoCeilingsNBA @CoreyTulaba @ChuckingDarts @BaumBoards @JMonacoScouting @onballcreator @coachnatebdraft @MikeMiller_13 @LabaronPhilon @MiskoRaznatovic @cofie_jacob @pnwprez @pnwsportsgroup @KyleMcAlarney @mason_falslev @j1izzle @pearlsteinaaron @greglaw80 @magoongwath @AaronKlevan @_mbyrd21 @HaggertyPj @Yaxel_Lendeborg

6'2 G Christian Anderson was HUGE for Texas Tech today in a nice win at Cincinnati: • 18 PTS • 5 REB • 3 AST • 3 STL • 4/7 3PT The freshman is a special player who is starting to get comfortable in the Big 12 - Anderson is averaging 13.5 PPG, 4.3 RPG, & 2.0 STL on 61.1% 3PT in his last four games and has been the X-factor for a Red Raiders squad that has picked up some big wins over these last couple weeks and is 5-2 in conference play. @chrisanders2024 @TexasTechMBB @oakhillhoops @TalkinTechPod @techntortillas @SeanPaulCBB @RyanHyattMedia @cocabasketball @RCMB323

6'3 PG Davi Remagen, one of the BEST international prospects in the C/O 2025, will be taking a visit to Georgia Tech early next week, per source. Remagen is also receiving interest from Alabama, Utah, & Ole Miss. The German/Brazilian native is a strong, athletic, skilled guard who can score at all three levels and make high level reads out of ball screens & in transition. Remagen turned heads with an impressive performance at the Adidas NextGen EuroLeague event earlier this year, leading his team with 15.8 PPG & 3.0 APG on 54% 3PT and being named to the All-Tournament team. Will be a big time addition to whichever program he chooses! @elias_sbiet @gershbasketball @SSN_CBB

UPDATE: Since entering the portal, Dar has heard from many programs including: Gonzaga West Virginia Cincinatti Texas A&M Washington Kansas State Minnesota Memphis Seton Hall San Francisco Florida Atlantic St. Bonaventure Western Kentucky Long, skilled, athletic wing with pro upside!! @Jacobdar_ @SoeliteBBall @risemngt @ThePortalReport

6'4 G Bennett Stirtz vs. Miami: • 21 PTS • 6 REB • 6 AST BIG TIME performance from the Northwest Missouri State transfer, who is averaging 19.3 PPG & 5.3 APG on 50% FG through 4 games for a Drake team that looks like it could make some serious noise this season. Smooth, sneaky athletic guard who has ELITE touch both as a scorer and a playmaker. Looking like an early contender for MVC POY. @mid_madness @SeanPaulCBB @GoodmanHoops @ValleyHoops @DrakeBulldogsMB @hoops_mvc

6'9 F Michael Rataj was outstanding today as Oregon State took down #16 Gonzaga in OT!! • 29 PTS • 7 REB • 9/15 FG • 2/3 3PT • 1 STL + 1 BLK The junior has been one of the best players in the WCC this season and has put himself on NBA radars as a skilled, mobile, athletic forward who can stretch the floor and defend multiple positions. He made some big time shots for the Beavers down the stretch and is one to watch for a sneaky good Oregon State team. @BeaverMBB @mid_madness @ExpertWcc @UnoffWCCpod @madeformarch @Ryan_Harlan7 @nickdaschel @CBB_Europe

🇨🇦 6'1 G Kobe Elvis vs. Providence: • 26 PTS • 10/14 FG (71.4% FG) • 3/5 3PT What a performance from the senior guard in a big time win for Oklahoma! Elvis is a ceiling raiser for this OU team - a veteran, NCAA tournament experienced guard who has outstanding quickness, touch, and length. Scored effectively at all three levels today. @KobeElvis @BrodyLusk @JesseCrittenden @OUInsider @BPrzybylo @JoshMCallaway @TravisSkol @OUBarstool @jonathancchenn

6'11 C Paul Mbiya is one of the most UNDERRATED international NBA prospects eligible for the 2025 Draft!! Mbiya is an absolute MONSTER - playing for French club ASVEL's U21 squad this season (along with stints with the pro club), Mbiya averaged: • 15.5 PPG • 11.3 RPG • 3.2 BLK • 1.2 STL Per reports from @DushawnLondon1, Mbiya has declared for the draft and is also setting up visits with NC State, Kansas, & Kansas State - as well as already having taken a visit to Oregon. Mbiya is an absolute MONSTER with ridiculous physical tools (7'4 wingspan) and an enormous catch radius around the basket. He moves well on defense and has shown the ability to switch onto guards and more the hold his own, as well as displaying some intriguing touch & footwork around the basket as a post-up threat. If Mbiya goes the college route, he would be one of the best rim protectors and rebounders in the COUNTRY from day one. @PaulMbiya8 @ThePortalReport @nbadraftpoint @SSN_CBB @DiasporaDrop @Afrihoops @LO_Wolfpack @PackPride @PackInsider @tillery_joe @RyanGilbert_ @M_Vernon @JayhawkSlant @LockedOnDucks

🇫🇷 6'5 G Ilias Kamardine (2003) is looking like one of the BEST PLAYERS in the SEC to start the season! The long, crafty guard has been outstanding through three games for Ole Miss, averaging: • 18.0 PPG • 2.7 RPG • 5.0 APG • 65.6% FG An overseas transfer from the LNB Élite (first division) league in France, Kamardine's playmaking & three level scoring abilities have immediately translated to the D1 level. Last night vs. Memphis the 22-year-old had 26 PTS, 4 REB, & 4 AST on 11/14 FG, using his length, change of pace, and elite touch to cause all kinds of issues for the Memphis defense. Keep an eye on him!! @KamardineIlias @OleMissMBB @50NuancesDeNBA @defaut_zero @ryanhammer09 @SeanPaulCBB @SSN_CBB @EverythingRebs @SSN_OleMiss @RedCupRebellion

🇦🇺 6’10 F Austin Rapp is a SPECIAL TALENT who has quietly been once of the best freshman in all of college basketball this season: • 13.9 PPG • 6.5 RPG • 2.4 APG • 1.3 BLK • 35.4% 3PT (7.2 3PA) Rapp is one of 3 freshman (Cooper Flagg, Thomas Sorber) to be averaging at least 13/6/2/1 this season, and him and Flagg are the ONLY freshman in the country to be doing that on at least 30% 3PT. Rapp is a special shooter at 6’10 (his 7.2 3PA/G is in the 100th percentile of all D1 forwards) who can shoot off the dribble, off the catch, and off movement. He’s made 5+ threes in a game three times this season, and has a rare mix of size, mobility, and fluidity that makes him a legit NBA PROSPECT and one of the highest upside freshman in the country!! @austinrappp @PortlandMBB @PickandRollAU @AUSA_Hoops @OlgunUluc @Barlowe500 @CoachLegans @BigShotBob90 @aussiehoopla

6'2 PG Donovan Dent WENT OFF vs. VCU: • 40 PTS • 5 REB • 4 AST • 14-16 FG • 2-4 3PT What a performance from the junior in a nice win for the Lobos!! No one could stay in front of Dent all night - it didn't matter if you went under, he was still getting to the paint and finishing with high level touch and dexterity. Dent has an elite first step, and flashed his improved 3PT shot today as well. Flat out one of the best PGs in the nation!! @donovandent1 @RoccoMiller8 @SeanPaulCBB @mid_madness @ryanhammer09 @GeoffGrammer @coachmosser @BBustersHoops @UNMLoboMBB

🇸🇳 7'0 FR C Massamba Diop (2005) is one of my favourite NBA Draft sleepers heading into this season!! Diop showed off his impressive mobility and athleticism in his Arizona State debut last night vs. Southern Utah: • 14 PTS • 5 REB • 6/8 FG • 3 BLK + 1 STL The former Real Madrid & Gran Canaria prospect has some eye popping ability as a 7-footer who can really run the floor, play well above the rim, block shots at an elite clip, and even handle the ball some. His film from Gran Canaria last season really jumped off the screen, and I'm looking forward to see how he fares vs. Big 12 competition this season. @SunDevilDaily @PHNX_SunDevils @DevilsDigest @ASU_Hoops @NoCeilingsNBA @BaumBoards @DraftJunkyJames @ChuckingDarts

6’8 G Blake Harper has been one of the best freshman in the COUNTRY!! • 18.5 PPG • 6.6 RPG • 3.1 APG • 46.3% FG • 40% 3PT Harper currently ranks fourth among all freshman in scoring and has been huge for a Howard squad that just picked up a big win over Delaware St. to open conference play - a game where Harper had 34 PTS & 6 REB on 10/12 shooting. Harper has huge upside as a big guard with an advanced handle and impressive finishing touch & coordination. He is shooting 6.5 FTA/G (99th percentile of all D1 players), getting to the line at an elite rate while also being one of the best rebounding guards in the country. A truly special talent!! @mid_madness @bharp__ @boxtorow @HUMensBB @jakelieberman2 @hhlseward3 @DerekJones79

6’3 G Mason Falslev WENT OFF vs. Iowa today!! • 25 PTS (60% FG & 75% 3PT) • 12 REB • 3 AST • 2 STL • 1 BLK Falslev was quietly one of the best freshman in the COUNTRY last season, and is now heating up with back-to-back 25 PT games for a 5-0 Utah State team that got a big win tonight. Falslev is a long, athletic guard who is a terrific finisher at the rim and looks like a much improved 3PT shooter this season. @mid_madness @USUBasketball @TheAggship @TheBullSheetUSU @mason_falslev

6'3 G Mason Falslev vs. USF today: • 27 PTS • 9 REB • 9 AST • 3 STL • 10/18 FG (55.6% FG) BIG TIME performance from the sophomore - and how about those funky jump shot passes??? Falslev is looking like one of the best players in the Mountain West, averaging 17.4 PPG, 6.4 RPG, & 3.3 APG on 55.7% FG + 47.2% 3PT to start the season. Today he showed off his high level playmaking ability and much improved 3PT shot in Utah State's dominant win over South Florida - the Aggies are 10-0 and are firmly in T25 conversations 👀 @mid_madness @USUBasketball @TheAggship @TheBullSheetUSU @mason_falslev

7'2 Freshman C Moustapha Thiam has entered the transfer portal, per reports. HUGE addition to the portal as a long (7'5 wingspan), athletic, mobile 7-footer who displayed some legit 3PT shooting ability for UCF this season. In Big 12 play, Thiam averaged: • 11.7 PPG • 6.4 RPG • 2.6 BLK (!!) Thiam has some RIDICULOUS physical tools & has NBA lottery pick upside. Had some big games this season including 11 PTS/10 REB/8 BLK vs. Kansas State, 18 PTS/5 REB/3 BLK vs. Houston, 17 PTS/6 REB/3 BLK vs. BYU. @Tafzo327Thiam @ThePortalReport @ThePortalScoop

The Vanderbilt freshman is averaging 9.5 PPG + 3.0 STL through his first four games on an efficient 53.6% FG, including 14 PTS on 6/8 shooting vs. Cal. Tanner is an athletic, sharpshooting guard who has the potential to be a pro. @tyler_tanner5 @vuhustlersports @VandyMBB @TheDoreReport

6'10 F Jacob Cofie vs. Coppin State: • 11 PTS • 11 REB • 4 STL • 3 BLK • 3/5 FG The freshman has looked spectacular through his first two games at Virginia (16 PTS & 6 REB vs. Campbell). Cofie is a menace defensively, with elite length, instincts, and mobility on the defensive end. Offensively, he is a big body with a promising three point shot and great length + athleticism. It's early, but Cofie looks the part of a legit NBA prospect and will be a key cog for Virginia this season. @cofie_jacob @UVAMensHoops @theREALfrankyD @BarstoolUVA @PrestonWillett @blloyd8298 @Cavs_Corner

NEWS: Butler, one of the BEST PLAYERS still available in the transfer portal, has recently been in contact with West Virginia, per source. The grad transfer is a long, athletic guard whose film really stands out with some ridiculous shotmaking (shot 42.1% on off-the-dribble threes!!), crafty finishes at the rim, and a smooth, lightning quick release from three as a catch & shoot threat (shot 41.6% 3PT in 23-24 at CMU). Previously received interest from many programs this summer including Louisville, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Virginia Tech, Seton Hall, VCU, St. Bonaventure, & George Washington. @DerrickZ_Butler @ThePortalReport @HitmenHoops @smokingmusket @ethanbock_ @WVUBarstool

Arizona State 6’3 G Anthony Johnson WENT OFF today vs. Texas A&M in their exhibition: • 27 PTS • 7 REB • 5 AST • 9/15 FG Extremely impressive performance from the NAIA transfer who is looking a sneaky good addition for the Sun Devils heading into the season. @PigGlizzy2 @NAIAHoopsReport @SunDevilDaily @PHNX_SunDevils @DevilsDigest @ASU_Hoops

6'6 G Nique Clifford vs. TCU: • 25 PTS • 12 REB • 6 AST • 3 BLK • 12/20 FG (60% FG) What a performance from Clifford, leading CSU to a big win over a Big 12 team! Clifford has built on a breakout 23-24 campaign, looking more comfortable than ever with the ball in his hands and scoring at all three levels. Looks like a legit 1st round draft pick candidate with a high level mix of shooting, defensive prowess, and playmaking ability. @CSUMBasketball @NiqueOtn @LifeSportsAgncy @mid_madness @JustinTMichael @Kevin_Lytle

6'1 Sophomore PG Irish Coquia, one of the best D2 guards in the COUNTRY, tells me he will be entering the transfer portal due to a coaching change. In conference play this season at Simon Fraser, Coquia averaged: • 18.4 PPG • 3.2 RPG • 4.7 APG • 1.6 STL • 39.5% 3PT (6.9 3PA/G) A SPECIAL TALENT and an elite shot creator + playmaker who was the ONLY underclassmen in all of D2 to average better than 18 PPG, 4.5 APG, & 1.5 STL on 39%+ 3PT in conference this season. @ICoquia @DRIVEBasketball @ThePortalReport @ThePortalScoop @hoopstarscanada @smcollegehoops @VerbalCommitsD2

If you're a Duke fan, hard to not get excited about the potential addition of 🇮🇹 6'8 F Dame Sarr (2006) as a long, athletic, versatile wing who had some eye opening flashes last season for EuroLeague squad FC Barcelona, shooting 44.8% 3PT (on limited attempts), per Synergy -and an impressive 65.6% FG at the rim against pro competition while also showing the ability to create off the dribble. Sarr has 2026 lottery pick upside with good physical tools, shooting touch, and high level defensive instincts that began to show themselves last season. If Cedric Coward indeed stays in the draft, Sarr projects to be a tremendous fit alongside the Boozer twins, Nikolas Khamenia, Caleb Foster, and Isaiah Evans - especially if his floor spacing ability can hold up. @nbadraftpoint @BDevilsNation @BlueDevils @Duke_Wisdom @MattGilesBD @BarstoolBDevils @BlueDevilNation

With current offers from Arizona State, Texas A&M, UCF, Kansas State, Nebraska, and Seton Hall (among others), Bashir is going to be one of the hottest recruits in the COUNTRY. @abdulxbashir @JUCOadvocate @CasperMBB @JucoRecruiting @JUCOroundup @SoeliteBBall @JC4PT @SeanPaulCBB @CoachTomParks @Deion813

Another game, another Naithan George masterclass in a HUGE Georgia Tech OT win vs. Cal: • 26 PTS • 3 REB • 8 AST • 5/8 3PT It's time we start seeing the sophomore guard on NBA draft boards - he's a special offensive talent who can create his own shot and can make every read in the book out of the P&R and in transition.

6'7 JR G/F Jacob Dar is one of the most INTRIGUING pro prospects in MM basketball!! The former D2 transfer has some RIDICULOUS physical tools with a 7'0 wingspan, vertical pop, and shooting touch.

🇨🇦 6'5 SG Ishan Sharma had a nice game vs. Bethune-Cookman today: • 12 PTS • 5 REB • 3 AST • 4/7 3PT HIGH LEVEL shooter who has pristine footwork coming off screens and a quick, compact release.

Excited to share my 2025 NBA Analytics Draft Model, which uses Points per Possession (PPP) data from Synergy Sports and /40 + % data from CBB Analytics in a variety of offensive & defensive categories, intended to give a comprehensive analytical overview of the top NBA draft prospects in college basketball. My formula then adjusts prospect ratings based on Strength Of Schedule, Class and Positional Size (the difference below or above the average NBA height at their position). To view the full model and the list of 69 players, click this link: bit.ly/2025draftmodel Below are the top 10 players in the model currently. There's still lots of season left, and major changes in the rankings will happen between now and April. With the way Cooper Flagg has been playing, it's only a matter of time before the numbers agree with the eyes of him in terms of him being ranked #1. Right now, the only thing that's holding him back is his mediocre efficiency on dribble jumpers (32.7% FG, 35.6% eFG, 0.71 PPS) - which ranks in the 34th percentile of all D1 players in terms of efficiency. But credit to Jakucionis, he is an incredible talent that has been posting some impressive numbers this season and has great positional size as a listed 6'6 PG. @NBADraftWass @CoreyTulaba @bjpf_ @DraftJunkyJames @Barlowe500 @DraftPow @DraftDeeper @pearlsteinaaron @MikeMiller_13 @DraftExpress @Sam_Vecenie @johnhollinger @MattBabcock11 @NoCeilingsNBA @mcfxz @ChuckingDarts @HoopIntelllect @BaumBoards @JMonacoScouting @onballcreator @coachnatebdraft

The Qatar native is a former NBA Global Academy standout with terrific length (7'1 wingspan) and some real skill to him as a big ball-handling wing that can really shoot it and handle the ball on the perimeter. There was definitely a learning curve adjusting to the college level, but Mousa had some promising flashes at Dayton this season and has immense long term upside as someone who was on NBA radars heading into the season. @_yass_jr @ThePortalReport @nbadraftpoint @SSN_CBB @ThePortalScoop

🇨🇦 6'2 PG Vasean Allette was OUTSTANDING today for TCU in a nice win vs. UCF: • 17 PTS • 7 REB • 9 AST • 1 BLK + 1 STL The sophomore put on a masterclass in making reads out of the P&R today, making some high level deliveries to rolling bigs and open shooters. In the last 5 games, TCU's ORTG is +12.8 PTS/100 better with Allette on the floor - a differential that ranks in the 95th percentile of all D1 players during that time span. @PottingerVasean @SSN_CBB @GirimonteNicky @BarstoolTCU @FrogPreacher

Arkansas fans, here’s a look at D2 transfer Melo Sanchez - a career 39.8% 3PT shooter whose quick & compact release + off-ball movement should translate well to the SEC. He can add some real value off the bench specializing as a knockdown shooter! @MeloSanchez23 @CoachCalArk

6'2 G Dez White vs. Indiana State yesterday: • 30 PTS • 4 REB • 5 AST • 5/11 3PT Despite the tough loss for Missouri State, it's hard to ignore how impressive White was and has been this season - the sophomore is averaging 18.9 PPG, 3.6 RPG, and 3.0 APG on 38.8% 3PT (7.4 3PA/G), hitting threes from DEEP RANGE off the catch and the dribble, and also showing impressive ball skills as a live dribble passer and getting to floaters/pull-ups inside the 3PT line. @mid_madness @Dez2White @MoStateMBB @BearsFamilies @hoops_mvc @WyattWheeler_NL

6'9 JR C Josiah Shackleford, one of the best D2 bigs in the COUNTRY, is in the transfer portal!! Shackleford had a great season at Georgia Southwestern, averaging: • 16.8 PPG • 7.3 RPG • 1.8 APG • 1.2 BLK + 1.0 STL • 55.5% FG Mobile, athletic big who is an ELITE rim runner & talented post-up scorer. Defensively, Shackleford uses his high end length, athleticism, & mobility to smother his opponents. He's one of ONLY 3 players 6'8 or taller in all of D2 basketball to have averaged 15+ PPG, 1+ BLK, & 1+ STL this season. A hidden gem 💎 in the portal!! @supersaiyanjo_ @ThePortalReport @ThePortalScoop

NEWS: Dar is visiting Memphis today & Santa Clara tomorrow, per source. Long, athletic, sharpshooting wing who really came on during conference play for Rice. Had some HUGE games this season including 24 PTS/6 REB/2 BLK vs. UAB, 21 PTS/4 BLK/2 STL vs. Tulane, & 17 PTS/8 REB/3 BLK vs. Memphis. @Jacobdar_ @risemngt @SoeliteBBall @ThePortalReport

6'9 PF/C Yaxel Lendeborg through his first three games: • 21.7 PPG (55.8% FG & 40% 3PT) • 9.3 RPG • 3.7 APG • 2.3 BLK • 2.3 STL Unreal numbers across the board - there aren't many players in college basketball that posses such versatility on both ends of the floor like Lendeborg. Offensively he can finish with force at the rim, stretch the floor, and handle the ball. Defensively, Lendeborg can hold his own on the perimeter and protect the rim at a high level. Small sample size, but Lendeborg is looking like a legit NBA prospect and one of the best mid-major players in the COUNTRY. @mid_madness @Yaxel_Lendeborg @UAB_MBB @EFEL_UAB @BirminghamSport

Baylor is getting one of the BEST SHOOTERS IN THE COUNTRY in 6’7 G Jalen Celestine! Averaged 8.7 PPG & 3.2 RPG as a P5 starter last season & shot a ridiculous 44% from 3. His 47.4% mark on C&S 3-pointers is in the 97th percentile of all D1 players, per Synergy. @celestine_jalen

What 6’1 SO PG Dylan Darling is doing in the Big Sky this season is flat out RIDICULOUS!! In conference play, Darling is averaging: • 22.7 PPG • 3.7 RPG • 6.0 APG • 1.8 STL • 40.9% 3PT (5.9 3PA/G) • 25.2/4.8/6.0/2.4 in his last 5 Darling is one of the best offensive talents in the COUNTRY as a redshirt sophomore, a high level shot creator who can score off the bounce at all three levels of the floor, and a great passer who can make advanced reads to cutters, rolling bigs, and open shooters. Darling & Drake PG Bennett Stirtz are the only players in all of college basketball to be averaging upwards of 20 & 6 during conference play. Keep an eye on Darling and a sneaky good Idaho State team as we head into March!! 👀📈 @DylanDarling11 @IdahoStateMBB @mid_madness @other26hoops @AndrewH202 @SethDavisHoops @CoachWhiteISU @coachlooneyisu @SSN_IdahoSt @SSN_CBB

South Florida got a BIG TIME addition yesterday with the commitment of 🇨🇦 6'5 G Josh Omojafo, a former D2 All-American who started 33 games last season for an NCAA Tournament team in Robert Morris. Omojafo had a great year for the Colonials, averaging: • 11.4 PPG • 3.8 RPG • 38.4% 3PT (2.1 3PA/G) The rising senior is an ELITE athlete with ridiculous vertical pop and the ability to finish through contact at the rim. Omojafo had some big games last season including 24 PTS & 13 REB vs. Youngstown State, 27 PTS & 7 REB vs. IU Indy, and 13 PTS & 6 REB vs. West Virginia. Should be one of the highest impact transfers in the AAC with his ability to contribute on both ends of the floor!! @Josh_Omo4 @penmen44 @CoachBHodgson @TheCBSPod @BayAreaExaminer @USFBulls_Rivals

6’8 F Mathiang Maker has been one of the HOTTEST JUCO players in the COUNTRY!! In his last 5 games, Maker is averaging: • 26.5 PPG • 7.5 RPG The sophomore is an elite athlete who is a high level transition scorer - he can handle the ball and initiate offence as a 6’8 point forward, and his advanced handle allows him to attack off the dribble and create his own shot in fast break situations. Maker is a versatile defender who can guard multiple positions with his athleticism and length, and his rapidly developing jump shot (both off the catch and off the dribble) shows his potential as a multi-dimensional offensive threat. A must watch JUCO prospect!! @mathmaker5 @wnccmbb @CoachBelly_OTP @JUCOadvocate @JucoRecruiting @JC4PT @ThePortalScoop @EDemirNBA

🇨🇲 6'4 SG Franck Belibi Jr. (2008) has been one of the most impressive players in the FIBA U19 World Cup as a 16-year-old, leading a competitive Cameroon squad in close matches vs. France & Australia with averages of: • 22.0 PPG • 4.5 RPG • 75% 3PT (9/12) The 2026 4⭐️ is due for a jump in recruiting rankings this summer and just picked up an offer from LIU this weekend. A high level shot maker who can score at all three levels, finish through contact, and make plays on the defensive end of the floor!! @Franck_Be11bi @DiasporaDrop @nbadraftpoint @dogtheballer

6'6 JR G Max Mackinnon, one of the BEST PLAYERS in mid-major basketball, is officially in the PORTAL!! Mackinnon was outstanding for a competitive Portland team this season, averaging (in conference): • 18.4 PPG • 4.5 RPG • 3.7 APG • 44.4% 3PT (3.5 3PA/G) Unreal stats - Mackinnon is a crafty, skilled, big guard with tremendous touch, footwork, and change of pace. He along with Cooper Flagg and Blake Harper were the ONLY players in the COUNTRY to average at least 18/4.5/3.5 on 44%+ 3PT in conference this season. A special talent and one of the BEST PLAYERS in the PORTAL!! @maxxmackinnon @ThePortalReport @ThePortalScoop

6'8 SG/SF Shon Abaev in his first two games for OTE: • 31.5 PPG • 6.5 RPG • 4.5 APG • 38.1% 3PT (10.5 3PA/G) Abaev looks more comfortable than ever with the ball in his hands - truly special pace and scoring feel out of ball screens & in transition for a 6'8 player. Making a strong case as the BEST SCORER in HS basketball!! The highly touted 2025 recruit is down to 5 schools: Arizona State, Arkansas, Auburn, Oregon, & Cincinnati. @shon_abaev @OvertimeElite @ArRecruitingGuy @SunDevilDaily @JacobScottDavis @JacksonCollier @AUFAMILY @TaylorKornTNR @BarstoolDucks

To start the year Pascarell is a scorching 43.9% 3PT from beyond the arc on high volume, while also being a high level mid-range scorer who is great at getting to his spots out of ball screens. Keep an eye on him as the 9-2 Red Foxes look to make some noise as MAAC contenders this season 👀📈 @josh_pascarelli @mid_madness @MaristMBB @MaristAthletics @CFMarist @pope_marley

6'3 G Obi Agbim vs. BYU today: • 21 PTS • 8/12 FG • 3/6 3PT Despite the tough loss for Wyoming, Agbim was extremely impressive - scoring 21 of the Cowboys 49 points and displaying a high level ability to create separation off the dribble and knock down shots from NBA range. Agbim has been extremely impressive this season, averaging 18.0 PPG, 3.4 RPG, & 3.9 APG on 50.5% FG + 45.2% 3PT to start the campaign.
