Each and every time Phenom Hoops gets to report or see a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player. Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Hendrix Loughridge
Class: 2026
Committed to: Lipscomb
What Has Been Said by Phenom Hoops:
“It’s always exciting to watch new, appealing prospects, and Hendrix Loughridge certainly did not disappoint. Given the fact that big men are always at a premium, he entered the event with a lot of buzz surrounding his name. At 6-foot-10, he’s a long, fluid athlete who reliably impacts the game on both ends of the floor. Loughridge displays solid timing and understanding of how to alter/block shots as a defensive anchor around the basket. He displays nice feel when defending screen actions and is quick enough to recover after hedging. Offensively, Loughridge is capable of finishing around the basket, spacing the floor, or operating out of the two-man game. He competes well for rebounds and doesn’t shy away from physical play around the basket. Loughridge displays great mobility for his size and runs the floor well in transition. Although the appeal should be obvious, it’s easy to see his potential as a long-term prospect.”
“In terms of players, my two role models would be Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid. I like to be able to play as a big man but still have the flexibility to play as a forward/wing.” – Loughridge on his game
“Loughridge will be a new name for us at Phenom Hoops and one that already holds a D1 offer, he will be a name to watch out for. Of course, a player standing at 6’10 will always catch your eyes, but he is one that looks to be impacting the game on both ends. He demonstrates that he can be an effective scorer with his size, and also attacks the glass well, altering shots. Loughridge is showing that he can be a double-double type big man, and we are eager to see more of his game.”
