2025 Recruiting: Nate Ament

[awy]

he's thin but kind of doesnt play thin. ft rate seems pretty high and plays with intensity on defense.

Imagine him filled out with 30-40 more pounds. What a prospect, wow.

Here’s his spring highlights:

[Mr. French]

6’9 and really nice skill set. A fluid and pretty stroke, high release on catch and shoot…I really like this kid.

Especially if, as his stats indicate, he also gets boards.

This is a 12 min interview with Nate. He did attend the final four.

 

[Umami Zen]

SnC and a good food management program will put 25-30 lbs on him. He's got the skills

 

[awy]

I like his focus on winning and being aggressive. he's not emotionally demonstrative but clearly there's a strong desire to compete.

 

[Ricker]

He feels he can play and guard 1-5 but interesting that he sees himself as a big guard. Without the need to really compare and contrast in detail, I get a Tayshaun Prince vibe. Probably just based on getting a lot of productivity out of the same frame.

[I just looked back at the 2005-2006 Pistons roster to check on the spelling of Tayshaun before posting. Billups shot 43.3% from 3, and Hamilton 45.8% as the starting back court, with Tony Delk subbing at 42.6%. That type of shooting = winning and if Danny can get that for us we might be able to catch Wooden]

Is 41/27/6 good?

Was that a double header?

 

[david]

Was that a double header?

I was annoyed because it was harder than I expected to figure out if this was a single game or if it was his stats for the day and it was just a misleading headline, but I can confirm it was in 1 game: Highland School vs Dematha – DMV Live

Also, this was part of DMV Hoops live so he was playing for his HS, Highland School and not for Team Loaded. It was against Dematha though so I'm assuming the competition was pretty decent.

 

[awy]

that's an insane statline lol. 10 offensive boards and 6 blocks while shooting 70%

 

[HungryHu5ky]

Casting a larger net this year.

Budget increase will do that

[bendm]

he looks like the best college stretch 4 since kevin durant. my #2 want after Thomas

 

[jesterman]

This sounds very high schooly, but the fact that Hurley is listed before Scheyer on a TiptonEdits tweet actually speaks volumes about our recruiting clout right now

 

[david]

I didn’t make the connection until I saw this pic, but he’s the dude from the Isaiah Abraham mini documentary:

Start watching from around the 30 second mark. It looks like he and Isaiah know each other very well and share(d) the same mentor/trainer?

 

[bendm]

He feels he can play and guard 1-5 but interesting that he sees himself as a big guard.

Almost Everyone wants to play down a position these days unfortunately

 

[auror]

He's the most sought after guy on the circuits right now. Will not be easy.

 

[Conndog]

6’9 and really nice skill set. A fluid and pretty stroke, high release on catch and shoot…I really like this kid.

He has a nice high release- reminds me of Cam in that respect. WOW, can you imagine a 6’9 Cam?

Impressive to have spotted this and the connection to Abraham. Kudos to @david

 

[Mr. French]

Yes, this seems to be a very positive development.

so sick, imagine isaiah being a beast this season while also recruiting ament.
