Not surprising, but safe to say Lewis is a priority if Shaka is flying out to watch him during the season.

Interesting stat line for a point guard: https://x.com/pointguardeyes/status/1742368122542203376?s=46&t=HLoNtkTVfvSoDEzJafqc2g

Kolek like statline.

Kolek like statline.

As my high school coach used to say, "You don't have to score, but you have to fill up the stat line somehow if you want to play."

Love this. Lewis is definitely a priority. And rightfully so. Damn good pg prosp

[MuMark]

Jenson had 21 tonight in a win over Oshkosh West.

I have only seen highlight film and have read up on Lewis and he looks like the type of PG I envisioned running a Shaka team. They definitely will need to add a pure PG next year and Lewis seems to be Shaka's guy. Fingers crossed.

Dude goes to my former high school. Other notable alums include Jimmy Garoppolo and Gary Cole.

This kid has been playing really well so far this season.......MU hasn't offered yet

According to 247, MU offered on 10/30. I have no idea if they're right...but that's what it says.

I need to learn more about this prospect.  It's interesting that Shaka flew out to watch two propsects this week, and they were Lewis and Ellison.

[1977Warrior]

Miletic's school also produced longtime NBA player Aaron Williams (Xavier) and the Christie brothers.

Shaka wants the 3 Stars and 4 Stars that he thinks can become 4 Stars and 5 Stars.

Kinda love that about him. Identify budding talent, not talent that is already where it is going to be.

I was not expecting to see us recruit another 6'8 forward for next year, but he is clearly talented.  Pretty similar game to Damarius Owens.

Owens and even Lowery are pretty interchangeable 2 through 4, but with roster construction it is less likely Lowery would ever play the 4 and Owens the 2. Guard room is already loaded so might as well stack up the front court.  A lot of their 2025 recruits are guards as well.

Guard- Jones, Jones, Norman, Mitchell, Ross

Guard/Forward- Lowery, Owens

Forward- Gold, Joplin, Amadou, Hamilton, Parham

They are in a good place regardless of what happens with that final spot.

Looks incredibly raw to me.  First thing I noticed was a low release point on his jumper.  Line drive shooter.  He can shoot over smaller HS defenders, but he needs a much higher release point in college.

His dribbling looks very stiff.  Struggles to beat players off the dribble and get to optimal spots.  Has to settle for midrange jumpers.

Great athlete in the open floor. Good timing as a shot blocker.  Looks like a more perimeter oriented Al Amadou.

A prospect worth monitoring, but not one I would go all in on at this time.

Mason Ellison
6-4/165

Build reminds me of HS Greg Elliott.

Springy athlete that dunks with ease.

Handle and jumper look smooth.

Tons of Ivy League and other NE mid-majors involved.

High majors involved: Marquette, Xavier, Maryland, and Pitt

I liked that he finished with either hand in that clip.
