2023 Recruiting

[thebiasedannouncer]

On3 gave us a commitment prediction for Ball. Good news coming soon I hope.

Austin Ball - Miller School - SG

Austin Ball is a SG from Miller School in Charlottesville, VA.

Definitely feels like we're getting Ball. Richmond just got Matt Reed in and as of now their scholarships for next year are almost filled. As long as today and tomorrow goes well, think he's a Patriot.

He's not one of the players you guys have talked up. Is he any good?

I like his game. I think he could be pretty underrated. Here's the latest highlights I could find:

His floor is a guy with great shooting form that can really space the floor. But he is active on both sides of the ball. Gets to the paint as defenders rush to close out on him. Got a little sneaky athleticism to him. I'll happily take him and see what he can develop into.

Another LUKE perhaps! I'll take that, for sure!

He’s rated similarly to Nnaji: https://247sports.com/Player/Austin-Ball-46118121/

Good thing for us he transferred to Miller, his numbers would’ve been huge if he had gotten the kind of playing time starters get at most schools. It kept his profile low enough that the P5s went away … he very easily could’ve wound up at WVU because he’s good enough to play there. Will be a steal if he picks Mason.

He led his team last year in minutes with 16 a game. Think about that - it’s crazy. Hard to put up gaudy numbers with those minutes.

I’m not a numbers guy, but averaging 12 points in 16 minutes seems pretty good lol

Don't jinx it!!

I like his game, he's got the right height to play a 3 or 4 in HCKE's system, feels like a replacement for Ticket when that time comes, or maybe even a slot in at the 3 if he shows talent out of the gate.

But yea, Ball and White would both be very solid 3 star gets for the program.

I agree. Even with Cooper and Bailey leaving, we may be a little short on shooters. The more I think about it, the better I like the fit.

He also just has that grit too, apparently he’s always working on his game, he also gets to the bucket and finishes well, not scared of contact etc

I like attacking guys who have high major offers who may have fallen through the cracks late in their HS career. Talent is there. It could be worse!
