2026 Recruiting: Adolph "Junior" County

[caw]

Thicker, though. Which solves a lot of Darius' issues. I don't think County is quite as wired to score and not as creative a handle as Darius, though. But he's a much better defender.

I'd say more in control and intentional also but without the quickness of Adams.

Better built than Adams but still needs to gain strength. They're both shooting guards with similar height who could possibly transition to be big point guards. Neither is particularly quick and they both play below the rim.

I'm not too high on either of them but it seems the staff is.

I talked to Darius after the McD AA game a little - said you seem like a silky smooth guard who would be called "crafty" by the media - is that your game and he said 'bet, you got me'.

County is much less that type and is built with more strength. Not sure I'd say either is "a shooting guard" more like CG with sneaky quickness but can appear a little slow motion if you expect Bazz/Boat/Kemba/Newton style of deliberate play.

Kinda where I’m at. Kid has skills and decent size, but nothing pops when you watch him, just his shooting form looks promising.

Maybe he’s a bulldog defensively? We do need that.

Interesting Fink views him as a 2 guard more than a point, or even a combo. Different view than the staff.
But praise is praise

Calls him the top shooting guard in the EYBL but doesn’t put him top 5 for guards in general. Interesting evaluation. Mingo top 5.

Seems like a lot of updates for 2026 are trickling in. Seen some expanded writing on some, other stuck with simple fact line. ESPN rosters have removed drafter players now, but not yet updated the roster which is usually ~Sept.

Thanks for actual info on the kid. Have we ever had a player from Utah? I think maybe one but I can't remember.

Last one I remember we recruited was Tyrese Samuels from wasatch academy but he went to Hall.

The guys from 247Sports call him a two guard. Jamie Shaw of On3 keeps calling him a "lead guard". So maybe he's kind of a combo guard?

Not sure he’s ever been the main ball handler on any team yet, but I do think he can put it on the floor with confidence. Combo is probably more accurate at this point imo.

My instincts are telling me he’s the most likely guy to be our first commit this class.
