NCAA Basketball Recruiting: 5 biggest standouts from 2020 Hoophall Classic

Still only a junior in high school, Mike Foster flashed loads of potential at Hoophall.

Mike Foster’s Hillcrest Prep squad got blown out at Hoophall, but that did not stop the 6-foot, 10-inch junior from putting on a scoring display and looking good in front of a wealth of scouts and coaches at Hoophall. Foster comes in at No. 7 on ESPN’s recruiting rankings for his class, but he might continue to climb even higher.

At his size, the way Foster can move around the floor is mightily impressive. He’s agile with his feet, he can put the ball on the deck and move, and his lateral quickness is at a good level for someone his size.

Where Foster really showed out was with his aggressiveness scoring the basketball. He finished the game with 33 points and he scored them in a variety of ways. Much of his offense came in isolation situations, as Hillcrest was having a lot of trouble finding a rhythm on offense.

Foster can really stroke the ball on offense. He showcased a good-looking three-point stroke and he had no fear of firing away from well behind the three-point arc. Foster offers a lot of intrigue going forward as a sizable, offensive-minded wing player.

His game would be perfect for the new style of play in the NBA and he is a prospect to continue to monitor moving forward. Another year in high school for Foster means even more time to grab the attention of recruiters and evaluators.
