Division D

Pro Skills was the lone team to go undefeated in Division D through Session 1, although Drive Nation (TX), Nike Team Florida (FL) and the AOT Running Rebels (GA) did manage to go 3-1 themselves.

Pro Skills saw 2019 wing Jordan Wright emerge as a player to watch in the early going. He averaged 13.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game through the first four contests. He’s got a number of offers from some mid-major programs but stronger performances could change all of that. Another player to watch is 2019 forward Tylan Pope. Pope averaged 11.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game for Pro Skills. He recently earned an offer from Appalachian State.

Drive Nation has high-flyer Jahmius Ramsey on their squad but they’ve also got 2019  point guard Tyrese Maxey. Maxey produced 18.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game through Session 1 play. He’s a 6-foot-3 floor general with Kentucky as his current leader in recruiting.

2020 point guard Sharife Cooper was a leader and then some this weekend for the AOT Running Rebels. The 5-foot-10 point guard averaged 20.5 points, 6.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game as his squad went 3-1. He currently holds 11 offers from Division 1 programs. 2019 forward Isaac Okoro is also shooting up the radar. After averaging 17.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 blocks in the first weekend, he pulled an offer from the University of Oregon.
