Even though there is still almost a month of summer remaining for some area high schools, the basketball related portion of summer effectively ends August 1st each year. After spending the month of June playing in front of college coaches at high school team events and then the month of July on the travel circuit, the top high school players from the Buckeye State are getting some much-needed rest this month.
With college coaches being allowed on the road to evaluate for the first time in almost two years, many of Ohio’s top young prospects got their first taste of playing in front college coaches this summer. Now, armed with information as to where they stand and what they need to work on, the name of the game is improving over the next few months before the high school season begins.
So, who were the big individual winners this summer? Centerville HS comes to mind first, as 2023 Gabe Cupps, 2022 Rich Rolf and 2022 Tom House all saw their recruitment explode. Other 2022’s who have received significant amounts of new offers include Ben Southerland (Sycamore), Drey Carter (Westerville South) and former 2021 prospect Keyshawn Hall (who will attend a prep school next year).
At Triple Double Prospects, we use the month of August to tinker with our player databases (as we’ve gone away from public online rankings), to make sure we have the most thorough and up-to-date information available. With that in mind, we have just completed updating our Ohio Prospect Database for the classes of 2022, 2023 and 2024, as well as our Greater Cincinnati/Dayton Prospect Databases for those same three classes. With those classes, it is our goal to have an active player profile for each name completed by the end of the month, with the majority of prospects already having a live profile on our site.
The prospect databases can be viewed by clicking on the link below or on the menu bar at the top of the page.
