Basketball in the Central Texas Region continues to grow. As Austin and San Antonio continue to produce more and more collegiate prospects, TBB continues to maintain tabs on I-35. In the first part of our 10 Day Analysis, texasboysbasketball.com takes a look at 10 prospects from Central Texas.
Greg Brown, 2020 SF – Team Faith: Brown was jumping out of the gym on Memorial Day Weekend. The forward out of Vandegrift High School was a presence on both ends of the floor and showed why he is one of the best players in his class.
Kwabena Davis, 2019 SG – Texas Tigers: Davis and his Tiger’s group gave Team Faith a run for their money when the two teams matched up. Davis stayed in attack mode and was very solid in the outings the staff watched him play.
Derek Luna, 2020 Wing – VRE Elite: Luna knows how to play and his versatility offensively and sound skillset caught the attention of the TBB staff. A prospect that could crack a top 50 spot in his class.
Brendan Wenzel, 2019 SG – HD Toros: Wenzel torched the nets as he shot the ball at a very high clip. A prospect that has seen the trajectory of his stock go up, up, and up as he possesses a skillset that translates.
Shaydon Campbell, 2019 PG – HD Toros: A tough minded guard for the Toros that put together a string of strong outings during Memorial Day Weekend. Campbell contributed in a variety of ways for his team.
Jamal Shead, 2020 PG – Urban ASAK: Jamal Shead looks to be on a steady climb in the 2020 class. Shead produces, point blank but his fearlessness and ability to lead a group of upper clansmen has not gone unnoticed.
DJ Thorpe, 2019 PF/C – TJ Ford Austin: Thorpe was a handful in the paint as the big man from Lake Travis showcased his improved post game to the TBB staff. Thorpe still has some things to figure out but he is one of the best big men in his class.
Zach Taylor, 2019 Guard- TJ Ford Austin: Taylor is a bucket getter and he was on fire on the court during memorial day weekend. Taylor received an offer from University of Colorado, Colorado Springs as UTRGV and Incarnate Word have shown interest in the promising guard out of Austin.
Tyrone Perry, 2019 PG – THP Elite: Perry has done himself a favor this spring/summer for THP Elite. Perry has made plays on both ends of the floor and produced in big games.
Kyle Castille, 2020 CG – SABO: Castille stays in attack mode and his contributions on the boards don’t go unnotticed. A tough guard that put up near double-double performances.
Jalen Brittain, 2020 PF – Nike ProSkills 16U: Brittain is a prospect out of West Texas, but we will plug him in here. Jalen is a strong, tough forward that got his points scoring inside and out. Brittain was very impressive at the UIL State Championships and was equally as impressive with his performances during Memorial Day Weekend.
