Young & Hunt - DeSoto
Posted: Sat Nov 25, 2017 12:44 pmI got a first hand look @ the 2 new recruits @ the Lone Star Shootout in Frisco this past week.
Here's my take @ what I saw.
Young is every bit 6'9", athletic, good rebounder, & a very nice jump hook. Main thing is he needs to get in the weight room. This is a Ben Moore clone, except taller. Keep expectations in check, & he will be fun to watch develop over his 4 years @ SMU.
Hunt is a great athlete. Numerous dunks with his eyes @ or above rim level when he hammers it down. Can't really compare him to anyone @ SMU recently, but old timers might remember DeWayne Scales, " the astronaut", who played @ Dallas Carter & later @ LSU. I don't want to get carried away with Hunt's athleticism, but he has a chance to be very special, a game changer.
Other standout players @ the tournament:
RJ Hampton- Little Elm HS- All I can say is I hope his dad is loyal to SMU wants him to play here. This kid can do it all. '6'5" long, athletic, great leaper, sweet touch. Same build as Frazier, but he's better right now that Frazier was his senior year @ Kimball, or @ any stage of his playing career @ SMU.
Zachary Wrightsil- Prosper HS- under the radar, can do it all, 6'6 guard/wing. Reminds me of Jarrey Foster. Easily the 4th best player @ the tournament behind the 3 previously mentioned.
Jank & staff did a great job of getting these 2 from DeSoto. A lot of younger talent on the DeSoto roster & in their district that would also look really good in a red, white, & blue Mustang uniform.
