Is there a really good basketball up-and-comer (sophomore, junior, etc.) from the Baton Rouge area to keep an eye on?

Don't want the pipeline to dry up.

Not any big names like Javonte Smart, or Jarrel Martin over the next few years.

Jalen Cook? He’s a good player. Under-ranked. He could play both Football, and Basketball.

Jordan Wright at Duhnam looks pretty good from what I can see, he's really under the radar.

That’s him. He’s a dual sport stud.

Just got a Memphis offer in b-ball.

Will Wade has been a lot lately to watch Jalen Cook play.

Jahein Spencer, Jordan Wright, Reece Beekman and Collin Holloway are all top-flight kids from BR area.

Jordan Wright is overrated in my opinion. I haven’t seen much improvement from his freshman year. He reminds me of how Bridgewater was a stud as a freshman but didn’t improve much after that.

Not sure if the kid is any good or not, but there is a 6'11" freshman at Central.

He's just a tweener. He's not big or physical enough to play forward, but he's not a great shooter at this point in his career.

I remember playing against Acadiana area talent in the 90s and thinking we had some players in that district. In the playoffs we hit Catholic High of BR one year and Glen Oaks with Lester Earl the year before that. Those BR teams were difficult.

This is a NOLA player and I am not saying that he will be SEC material but Jordan Crawford is a sophomore at Shaw and the boy can play.

If he grows another few inches and continues to progress, he could be a good one.

Not really BR, but Houma has a 6-8 200 lb. freshman Dionjahe Thomas.

Jalen Cook is a big name in Walker. Word is he will play football only and wants to go to Bama.
