136. Matthue Cotton 6'4 2018 2G Newark (St. Benedict's) NJ
Cotton has always been an excellent outside shooter, but now he has really improved his ball handling & passing skills, ability to defend, & mid-range game and, as a result, the value of stock is very much on the rise. He also has good athleticism, knows how to compete, & is an outstanding student. The fact that he is a lefty is another added bonus.
137. Antwann Jones 6'5 2018 2G Orlando (Oak Ridge) FL
Jones is more of a scorer than a shooter, but you do have to respect his outside shot & he has a variety of ways he can get the ball in the basket. He also has good size for his position, a nice frame, & above average athleticism. On the other hand, he will need to develop more upper body strength & defensively he is still a work in progress.
138. Matthew Bradley 6'5 2018 PF San Bernardino (H.S.) CA
Most people in our business list this 6'5 lefty as a wing forward, but what this good old-fashioned undersized blue collar 4-man does best is use his strength & toughness to do the dirty work around the basket & get more than his share of rebounds. He also goes strong to the rim, is an excellent leaper, has good athleticism, & is one of those guys who just keeps getting better.
139. LaDarius Marshall 6'6 2018 PF Jackson (Forest Hill) MS
There aren't many guys with a better combination of strength, athleticism, & tenacity, which makes him tough to stop when he attacks the basket. He also dunks everything & can be a killer on the boards, but appears to be falling into the tweener trap based on the fact that he is probably done growing, lacks the skills necessary to play on the perimeter, & does not appear to be interested in putting in the time & effort necessary to make that conversion.
140. Mohammad Abdulsalem 6'9 2018 C Decatur (Greenforest Christian) GA
This strong physical aggressive post player goes strong to the basket, is very effective on the boards, & doesn't take any prisoners in the paint. He also has a good motor, can block shots, & is a good rim protector, but will need to develop an offensive repertoire if he wants to move up in our rankings and/or be a high priority for schools at the high Division I level.
141. Jake Forrester*** 6'9 2018 PF West Chester (Westtown School) PA
Forrest is a reclassified junior & he is best described as a stretch 4-man based on the fact that he puts the ball on the floor extremely well for somebody his size & has a very good mid-range game. He will need to get bigger & stronger physically, but he also is a quick leaper, good rebounder, & has an excellent pedigree, as is evident by the fact that his father player basketball at Temple back in the early '80s.
142. DeDe Utley 6'1 2018 PG Bayside (Cardozo) NY
"Utley is a poor man's version of Emmanuel Mudiay," says his high school coach Ron Naclerio. "He has an inconsistent outside shot, but you can't stop him from getting to the basket." He also has more of a scorer's than a facilitator's mentality, an incredible wing span for somebody his size, rebounds extremely well, & still has plenty of upside. As things stand right now, Manhattan is the only school that has offered.
143. Kristian Sjolund 6'8 2018 WF Katy (Thompkins) TX
We're talking about a long & surprisingly very athletic 6'8 wing forward who has evolved into an excellent outside shooter, is still somewhat under the national radar screen, & still has an incredible amount of upside & potential. He will need to get bigger & a stronger physically, but it's hard to argue with his pedigree (his father played professionally in Norway) & he has benefitted from playing off-and-on during the last four years in the United States.
144. Nicholas Honor 5'10 2018 PG Orlando (Lake Highland Prep) FL
This 5'10 point guard has broad shoulders & good strength for somebody his size, which allows him to get to the basket, finish with either hand, & makes plays. He also has a nice shot & he played up a year in the 17-Under Division this past summer & was the second leading scorer for the NIKE Sponsored E1T1 Team. The fact that he is a good student is just an added bonus.
145. Majur Majak 7'1 2018 C Sim Valley (Village Christian) CA
Majak is an evolving big man who runs the court, takes up space in the paint, and, with his ability to rebound and block shots, is a good defender & rim protector. He is still raw offensively, but he knows that he's a big man & he doesn't attempt to do things that he can not do. He's also well coached, has plenty of upside, & it looks like the University of Portland is the early leader.
146. K.J. Hymes 6'10 2018 C Phoenix (St. Mary's) AZ
Hymes is a long, lanky, & still growing 4-man who runs the court, can knock down the outside shot, rebounds & blocks shots, & still has a long way to go before he reaches his full potential. He also in another guy with an excellent pedigree, as is evident by the fact that his father also is 6'10 & he played college basketball at Pepperdine.
147. Omar Silverio 6'2 2018 2G Bronx (St. Raymond's) NY
Silverio is the opposite of most New York City guards, because what he does best is knock down the outside shot and, as a result, he is somebody you really have to guard out on the perimeter. He also is very crafty with the basketball and, with one or two dribbles, has the moves, quickness, & athleticism to both score & make plays.
148. Tyler Harris 5'9 2018 PG Cordova (H.S.) TN
What he lacks in size he more than makes up for with his speed, quickness, & athleticism & ability to flat out score. And does so with his excellent moves to the basket, good mid-range game, & ability to knock down the outside shot. He will need to improve his ball handling skills in order to evolve into more of a pure point guard, instead of just an undersized guy without a true position.
149. Solomon Uyaelunmo 6'8 2018 PF Clearwater (Calvary Christian) FL
Uyaelunmo knows how to use his length & athleticism to be a very effective rebounder & shot blocker. He also has a soft touch out to mid-range, is very active in the post, & has a knack for being able to dish the ball out to an open teammate. He transferred this past summer from Ft. Lauderdale (Westminster) FL & it wouldn't surprise us one bit if he also follows in the footsteps of his older brother (Victor Uyalunmo) who recently verbally committed to USC.
150. Antwan January 6'10 2018 C Woodland Hills (Taft) CA
January has tremendous agility, is very mobile around the basket, & he is a very good rebounder & shot blocker. However, he has yet to play a high school game & has already transferred a number of times during the course of his high school career. On the other hand, if he ever gets serious, instead of following in the footsteps of his older brother (Anthony January), he could be one of the top players on this entire list.
