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: Jordan Buzzard
Class: 2026
Committed to: Coastal Carolina
What Has Been Said by Phenom Hoops:
“Several guys in North Carolina’s Class of 2026 have boosted their stock over the summer, but arguably none as much as Buzzard. At 6-foot-8 with his combination of size, fluidity, and athleticism, there’s certainly a lot to like. Buzzard is already a game-changing defender with terrific instincts as a rebounder, shot-blocker, and switchable piece. For CP3 EYCL, he routinely operates as a modern version of an interior defender. While he’s probably more of a long-term forward, Buzzard has no issue anchoring the paint and outworking various types of opponents. Offensively, he finishes, spaces the floor, and is capable of attacking off the bounce. Buzzard plays above the rim and fills the lane effectively in transition. He understands how to produce as a complimentary piece but can also expand his production when necessary.”
“Buzzard has been a clear college-worthy prospect for some time now and he showed once again why college programs should be looking his way. Buzzard can be such a tough matchup on the court with his ability to be a threat inside and around the rim, as well as his comfort level from outside. He operates really well from a variety of levels, showing tremendous fluidity inside and out as well as making plays off the bounce. Buzzard is a prospect in the Class of 2026 that deserves more attention from college programs.”
“He’s a long, athletic forward with a strong frame, blossoming skillset, and physical defensive presence. Buzzard is capable of finishing around the basket, spacing the floor, or capitalizing on his opportunities in transition. On the other end, he stands out as a reliable defensive anchor. Buzzard utilizes his motor, toughness, and overall instincts to consistently block/alter shots and control the glass. He outworks opponents on both ends of the floor. Coach Baker on Buzzard: “Jordan has a lot of potential to be a special player at the next level. His biggest thing is being able to finish around the rim through contact. He’s big, strong, and athletic, he just has to be more on balance and go up strong. Continue to work on his jumper and he will become a very versatile player with the ability to knock down multiple threes in a game. Keep working and developing!”
