Continuing to bring attention to young prospects all around the country, Phenom Hoops recently spoke with 2027 6’7 Cameron Barnes, a rising prospect who is clearly making his impact felt early on. With the blend of size, ability to score and make plays, and impact the game in a variety of ways, Barnes has seen an uptick early on with his recruitment as he holds three high-major offers already. We were able to speak more to him to learn about his game, the latest in his recruitment, and his excitement about this upcoming season.
Game Description:
“I like to play defense, and I’m a versatile defender that can guard 1-5. I can play multiple positions on offense. I’m just a versatile player that can do a little bit of everything. I love to win and compete at the end of the day.”
Focusing On Heading into Upcoming Season:
“I’m focusing on leading my Lee’s Summit West team to the state title. I’m hoping to show more leadership this year because a lot of people on my team are looking up to me to take that role. And taking a huge leap from my freshman year. I feel like I’m going to impact my team by being a mismatch nightmare by being a 6’7 versatile wing.”
Thoughts on the first offer from Kansas State:
“It was special. I was excited. Not too many kids at my age have three Powe-5 offers. So, I can only give glory to God.”
Thoughts on latest offer from Oklahoma State:
“My latest offer is Oklahoma State, I’m starting to build a relationship with the coaching staff. I know they have been having a solid program for years.”
Other Schools Showing Interest:
“Iowa State, Missouri, and Colorado are the main schools showing interest.”
