Last Saturday RunningTheBulls.com was on hand for the Nike Premier Exposure Camp at Lake Brantley High School hosted by E1T1 United. Yesterday we covered the 2018 prospects who caught our attention, now it is the we turn to the class of 2019 and one member of the 2020 class.
CJ Walker, Jr. – is in the conversation for one of the top players in the sophomore class. The three-star small forward displayed his scoring versatility and explosiveness Saturday. Defensively he protected the rim and rebounded well. There is a sense of passion and flair in his game that is enjoyable to watch. Walker has good length and athleticism but adding weight and strength will help him defensively. Walker has offers from Iowa State, Louisville and UCF.
Zimife Nwokeji – is very active at both ends of the court. A long, wiry forward, he stretched the defense by knocking down open perimeter shots, and showed that he can get to the basket to score. At times he struggled to finish through contact but is willing to mix it up inside, so getting in the weight room needs to be a priority. Nwokeji showed good court awareness but needs to improve his footwork on defense. We really liked how he stayed focused and did not get down on himself in an early game when his shots were not falling and he struggled to score at the rim. Nwokeji has offers from James Madison and Virginia Tech.
Tre Mann -- is an intriguing lefty. Make no mistake, Mann can shoot it and has good ups. He also has a thin frame, maybe 150 pounds at 6-foot-1 but we see high major potential. His decision making and passing skills need improvement. Mann listed offers from Memphis, Ohio, Tennessee Tech and UNF.
Luke Anderson -- the 6-foot-8 class of 2019 Lakeland HS forward did not shoot it in games as well as he did during warm-ups, but his mechanics look good and he found other ways to impact the game. Anderson scored inside and rebounded well at both ends. Anderson has good court awareness and made several nice passes, including while on the move, to set up teammates. He has a great frame and an advanced basketball IQ.
Caleb Coleman -- is a versatile 2019 wing at 6-foot-6 that, at the high school level, can play the "2" or the "3" due to his shooting ability, athleticism and aggressiveness on the glass. We didn't see him score in traffic but he appears to have the size and strength to do so. His length makes him effective at the defensive end of the floor. This was our first time seeing Coleman and he showed a lot of promise.
Ahren Freeman is intriguing prospect with good size at 6-foot-5. His effort was off and on but it was sweltering in the gym. We look forward to seeing him with Providence School this season. FGCU has already seen enough as they recently extended an offer.
And 1
David Perez Morales -- is a 6-foot-1 class of 2020 point guard who has not played the first game of his freshman season but he already has a mature game that belies his age. Morales runs the pick and roll very well and generally made good decisions with the ball in his hands even while going full tilt. He played good position defense, keeping his man in front of him. We definitely want to see more of him.
