The 11:20 am game at Trinity Christian Cedar Hill headlined Adidas Gauntlet Champions Yes 2 Success and one of the top independent programs in Texas, Dallas Showtyme. The Main Floor is loaded with mid to high major prospects and TBB top 25 2018 prospect Nigel Hawkins was impressive with a 19 pt outing to lead his YIIS group to a 20 pt win. Hawkins talks to the staff about his recruitment and the mindset he came in, for his early morning game.
Hawkins was able to pressure the defense as he continued to look to attack the basket with consistency and make quick decisions when the defense reacted. The staff has been impressed with Hawkins strentgh that mixes with scoring abilities and have seen an increase in his stock this spring.
“The team is playing well and I know I’m at my best when I’m in attack mode. I was was trying to be aggressive early and make the defense step into help side,” Hawkins said. “I was just trying to play hard and make plays and I knew that the rest would play itself out.”
Hawkins offer sheet includes Sam Houston State, SFA, Texas A&M, UT Arlington, Rice, Houston, South Florida, South Alabama & UC Riverside. Playing early is the biggest factor in Hawkins decision this fall as he is looking to be given the opportunity to see the floor early at the next level.
“SFA, Texas A&M, South Florida, Oral Roberts, & Rice have been pursuing me the most so far and I like that they are going to give me the opportunity to play early and to win. Location and playing style won’t impact my decision really.”
“I’m looking to make my decision a couple months before the (high school) season but want to finish out the summer before I really get into making a decision.”
