2025 6’3 LJ Britt (Gray Collegiate)
Britt is one we have highlighted in the past and I’m eager to see what more he can do this upcoming season. Britt always brings a big-framed, physical feel to the court with his game, as he is strongly built and knows how to use that to his advantage in bodying up opponents on both sides of the court. He can bully his way and score through contact, but continues to show more of his ability to create, score off the bounce or mid-range, and feel comfortable along the perimeter with his shot-making. Britt showed patience with his shot and can impact the game in other ways.
2025 6’8 Teon Tindal (Crestwood)
Tindal is another under-the-radar big that can be effective with what he provides. When talking about his game, he is what he is and continues to show that he can be an effective option on the court. Tindal excels more down in the post, carving space out, battling opponents in the paint, showing his ability to operate with his back to the basket and touch over his shoulder, and helping attack the boards to create opportunities or be a good defensive force. He uses his body well and has nice timing in altering shots.
2025 6’7 Elijah Smith (Wilson)
Smith is another name to keep an eye on down at Wilson. He is a 6’7 prospect who has the blend and athleticism that programs would like to have but also has upside left in his game as he continues to develop. He can guard multiple positions and moves his feet well, can block and alter shots well, and is comfortable in an array of defensive areas. Offensively, he shows flashes of his ability to finish at the rim and run the floor, but you can also see the upside left as he continues to add more and get stronger.
