Every year this time kids get their 1st offers from the all important July live period.
That being said--this all important live period may be going away as soon as next year!!
Instead of the live periods coaches will have certain time to watch June HS ball and their will be special camps that college coaches pick!
The college coaches will make lists of players they want to see and those will be the ones getting invited to these camps to try and take away power from the AAU coaches. lol
These circuits will still go on per usual except scouts like myself will have to provide the info to all these college coaches or some kind of video coaches will pay for to see the games.
April live period/s next year will still be on.
These camps will be very crucial to attend and my camp that I thought was a fun and great exposure camp my get bigger and be in high demand since college coaches are attending plus national scouts. Coaches need to pick a good bang for your buck to go to these camps and if you have 120 quality players to see at just one event--it's smart money for them.
It will be very interesting where it all goes. I hope it stays the same, but if not we will all have to roll with the new rules. I'll be looking to see which are the smartest camps to attend myself to provide the best info possible to all the coaches I talk with.
Anyway 10 2019's who I've received calls on may get their 1st D1 offer:
(7 out of 10 6-7 or taller)
Jalen Graham PF 6'9" (Mtn Pte)-athletic stud/shot blocker.
Emad Elniel SF 6'5" (Independence)-Utility shooter and can defend.
Cameron Katal C 6'10" (Westview)-Skilled big w range.
Isaiah Marin PG 6'4" (Buckeye)-Bigger real PG w improved J.
Josh Baker CG 6'2" (Tock)--Shooter!!
Payton Dickerson F 6'7" (HIllcrest)-Shooter!!
Mamane Yaou PF 6'7" (Tri-City)-Skilled/high motor.
John Olmsted PF/C 6'10" (Morenci)-Skilled big.
Connor Braun PF 6'8" (Valley Christian)-Skilled forward.
Shaun Wahlstrom PF 6'8" (Estrella Foothills)-Strong and skilled.
3 others who may:
Miles Houston C 6'8" (Perry)-Strong defensive post.
Ethan Spry PF 6'7" (SCA)-Top tier shooter.
Jaret Allen SF 6'6" (Deer Valley)-Long shooter.
Food for thought:
There are many others who call on but this list was the most for D1.
There will be many D2/D3/NAIA offers going out in when July is over for sure.
The non D1 schools usually wait a little longer to offer since they are trying to see if these kids don't go D1 first. Once the player realizes he's not going D1 then he will decide what level is best for him if he has a choice or just chooses the schools who choose the player of course. Some kids don't have a choice and only receive 1-2 non D1 offers and either quit hoops or go to the non D1 school.
It's very hard thinking your whole life you will play at a D1 then realizing you don't have offers from them and then what do u do?? Tough and cruel reality at the end of your senior waiting for those offers to come.
Bryce Davis and Wesley Harris are currently in wait mode and that's why they haven't signed yet to my knowledge.
And so do u prep? Go juco to try and get that D1? Such a tough spot to be in!!
