As far as I can tell he is unranked. Seems like a bit of a reach but they must see something.
Thank you. Just sharing what I see around that I think some people might be interested in. Your information about his background would explain why he is a relative unknown but we are on him. There is a recent Pangos mixtape of him kicking around but it had a 2 minute advertisement at the beginning of it so I didn't post it. Let me see if I can find a cleaner one to toss up here. If not I'll put up the other one anyway.ballislife has an interview with him. He's a military brat who lived in Alaska for several years before moving to NC for high school. Sounds like he hasn't been playing seriously for that long. That background suggests some sleeper potential and he apparently had a good Pangos camp.
By the way 80s, you've been doing some great work lately. Much appreciated.
Who found this kid? He seems relatively unknown. I can barely find any info on him. It's obviously a highlight real but there looks to be potential.
I think he was Prolific Prep unless he could've have been on multiple teams which it seems many of these kids have been.Isn't Dream Vision the AAU Vance played on?

Pretty sure Prolific Prep was his high school. Dream Vision the AAU, same AAU as the Morman SG/SF who visited UConn (name escapes me).
From DraftExpress:Sounds perfect for us. Will stay at least three years. Improve each year. Solid, steady, player.
Strengths
-6' 9” with a developed, proportionate 230-pound frame that still has room to fill out. Above average length. Big hands.
-Not overly fluid but is mobile for his size. Can get up and down the floor. Able to play above the rim in space.
-High motor on both ends. Runs the floor hard.
-Uses his physical tools and effort level to have an impact on the glass and the defensive end. Likes physicality. Pursues rebounds aggressively. Protects the rim a bit. Can bang in the post.
Weaknesses
-A tad undersized for a center prospect.
-Can play above the rim in space but isn't an overly explosive leaper from a standstill. Not all that comfortable guarding the perimeter at this stage.
-Fairly limited offensively. Not a threat from the perimeter and isn't very polished on the block. Footwork is a bit rigid, doesn't have all that much natural touch.
-Feel for the game isn't great. Basketball instincts and IQ have room to improve on both ends of the floor
Outlook: The Anchorage, Alaska native didn't get a ton of run at Eurocamp but DraftExpress has scouted him at various camps in the past and the uncommitted 2017 big man is worth keeping an eye on thanks to his high motor and physicality. Although Huffman has his limitations, he'll most certainly be fielding high major offers and should be able to carve out a nice niche at the college level as a high energy big man.
According to VerbalCommits we're definitely the biggest program to offer him thus far.
Having a pretty big framed 6-10 guy with a motor who loves crashing the boards; sounds pretty good to me. Good motor = motivated. Just the kind of young man
that KO can work with. Multi year player like Diarra. I think these kind of players are exactly what we need to compliment the finesse offensive players. I would love
to land him and have the staff develop him defensively as well.
I like physical guys , who love to rebound.
