2025 Recruiting: Acaden Lewis, Down to Eight Schools

[Ricker]

Stringing together the highlights makes a better impression than watching the game in it's entirety. I'm most impressed that someone could make that 1 player highlight clip in such a short time since the game. Did Cue the Music actually do that work?

 

[Mr. French]

Bigger Marcus Williams?

Love to see PGs coming up court with their head up-Looking to deliver a pass. Multiple times his passes beat the D down the court for easy buckets. Nice stroke from three. Definitely an asset to any CBB Program.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

A kid who beats the D with a nice stroke? Heck yeah.

Bigger Marcus Williams?

Being a lefty PG wearing a shirt under his jersey the comparison will be inevitable.

That lefty whip pass through the lane, the fade wing 3, he has some similarities. I love any lefty PG, a smooth passing shooter is my wet dream. Kendall Marshall, Jalen Brunson, etc.

Syracuse has a great pitch at the moment. We brought in 2 exciting guards. One went to the draft and went undrafted. The other guy was a former 5* who transferred in last season put up a 100 ORTG and no draft buzz whatsoever. Also we've missed 3 straight NCAA tournaments.

 

[bendm]

would be thrilled if he signed up to be our 3rd string PG as a frosh. Hopefully he isnt adamant about PT his first year cause he could split PG duties w/ Nowell as a soph and beyond.

That's a tough sell for a top 40 kid who has nothing but blue blood offers

If I remember correctly, Lewis has said playing time is a major factor for him.

yup he did

 

[cap10dingus]

Might as well be a list of 7 schools:

Spoiler alert but top 40 recruit and Syracuse don't usually mix.

 

[awy]

he did say uconn is different, so maybe open to the competitive practice and playtime situation? one can hope.

Acaden Lewis plays for Eric Singletary at Sidwell--as good a high school coach as you'll find. Saddiq Bey and Josh Hart played for him, too. Singletary has built a powerhouse at Sidwell, and his kids play incredible defense. You have to be tough to play on that squad. Don't be fooled by the school name; that's a real program with smart, tough, and great kids. If there is a coach who will prep a kid for Hurley, Singletary is the one.

 

[Mr. French]

I love this kid. I think him and Thomas would be an insane frosh backcourt.

The competition is a tough sell, but every top 5 program has multiple high level recruits, we shouldn’t be any different. He’s legit, he won’t be too worried about it.

Can second that from the hs games I watched. They don't have the same talent as a Paul VI, Montverde or LuHi every year, but they play a fun brand of ball. Very good defensively, and it shows.with Lewis's effort on the boards especially.

Another positive is Lewis has the ball in his hands every possession in hs. Tons of reps to keep building his skillset. I do think the program needs to tighten up their offense. From the 4 games I saw, it was a bit erratic and disorganized when they faced adversity.

[Mr. French]

Dude’s nice.

 

[Umami Zen]

For a lefty CG--Uses his right hand very smoothly off the dribble/lay up-in the lane- shot package. Step back jumper is money.

 

[FreeKlaiber]

Bigger Marcus Williams?

he's got that same "high iq pg with flair" type game from what ive seen

 

[QuickDraw]

Game winner. This kid would be a great get.

 

[pj]

I don't think waving everyone off and taking a long guarded 3 is the play Danny Hurley would draw up. But great that he can hit it.

 

[RuffRuff]

Some some film today - kid is silky. Uses both hands well, has a nice touch and good court vision.

It is sometimes when the shot clock is running down.

Would be very happy with a class of Lewis,
Reibe and either Darius Adams or Hudson Greer. I actually think Lewis and a 4* wing make for better fits than Thomas or Mullins in 2025. At least that’s what I’ve convinced myself in case we don’t get either.

Nowell / Lewis*
Aidan / Adams or Greer*
Ball / Ross
Stew / Abraham
Reed / Reibe* / Singare

I like having a rolling system of lottery picks to keep the brand up. Best way is to grab the annual 5 star or two. It keeps a position of being able to selectively attract them on the go forward when you do need them. So while a solid class would like to score one brand name. I also think Mullins is a 2 year kid. He’s awful thin and just recently made the jump into the 20’s.
