Ty Berry – Northwestern

CG | 6-foot-2 | 170 lbs | No. 128 overall

Northwestern is fresh off an abysmal season in which the team finished just 8-23 (3-17 B1G) with a KenPom ranking of No. 132. Ever since making their first NCAA Tournament appearance in program history in 2017, the Wildcats have been trending downward on the court and are in desperate need of a talent influx. Freshman guard Boo Buie showed signs of a high ceiling during this past season but he needs a true running mate in the backcourt of the future.

Enter Ty Berry.

A 6-foot-2 combo guard out of Kansas, Berry is ranked as the No. 128 overall player in the 2020 class and has been on the rise over the past few months. He already boasts a college-ready frame with the ability to function at either backcourt slot. Berry is a confident shot-maker at all three levels that can create for himself as well as others.

Most notably, he is known as a dynamite perimeter threat. Considering Northwestern’s shooting woes during this past season (31.2 percent from three), Berry is the type of player that could instantly make an impact while developing into a star in Evanston.

Berry’s development is currently trending in the right direction after a very strong season playing alongside fellow highly-rated players at the Sunshine Christian Academy. The team ranked among the best in the entire nation and Berry’s contributions on the perimeter were a major reason why.

Berry will immediately join a young but promising core in Evanston next season and he should play big minutes. His trajectory is on a tremendous path based on his senior season and he will fill a much-needed role on the perimeter for the Wildcats.
