January Prospect Recap Part 1

At Texasboysbasketball.com we continue to take a glance at the prospects the staff evaluates each month. Arlington Martin possess a promising, talented power forward that is high on the TBB database. 2019 Joshua Miller and Marcus Sasser for Red Oak have built chemistry on the court and providing instant scoring for the Hawks. Let’s dive in on part 1.

Joshua Miller, 2019 Wing – Red Oak: Miller has been a productive key piece to Red Oak’s run to a playoff birth. He was able to get to his spots on the floor and accumulated 22 pts to go along 5 blocks in their matchup vs Mansfield Timberview.

Marcus Sasser, 2019 CG – Red Oak: Sasser struggled early on against Timberview as he couldn’t generate a clean release early but in the fourth quarter and overtime, Sasser produced when his team needed, as he accounted for the last 8points in regulation.

Chris Mullins, 2018 PG – Mansfield Timberview: The Rice Owl Commit has orchestrated strong performances when the lights are on. He looks to disrupt opposing guards defensively and offensively against Red Oak, produced 22 points and the win.

Isaac Likeleke, 2018 Wing – Mansfield Timberview: Likeleke continues to fill the stat sheet up as he plays any role that his team needs from him in order to win. If that’s guard the best player, become the primary playmaker or take the lead as a shot creator, Isaac put on different hats to lead his Timberview squad to a quest of another 5A State Title.

Montreal Pena, 2020 Post – Arlington Martin: Pena has a lot of upside and the talented big man showed flashes of what he will become down the road when the light stays on. The number 15 TBB prospect against Arlington HS rebounded, blocked shots and has a nice touch around the rim.

Jadaun Slack, 2020 SF – Arlington High School: A bruising forward that plays with physicality. Slack is a TBB Top 50 prospect in the 2020 class and he has the tools to become a D1 prospect.

Connor Redrow, 2021 C – Universal Academy: Redrow is starting to come around, his effort and activity on the boards and in the paint has resulted in a increase in minutes. Still ways to go for Redrow but he provided rebounding and a interior presence in Universal Academy’s win against Southwest Christian.
