NON-POWER FIVE GUARDS WHO WILL BE HOUSEHOLD NAMES IN 2016-17: SOPHOMORES
https://collegecourtreport.com/2016/08/31/non-power-five-guards-who-will-be-household-names-in-2016-17-sophomores/
Ronshad Shabazz – Appalachian State Mountaineers
2015-16 Stats: 11.9 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 1.5 apg; 39.7% FG, 36.7% 3PT
While he may have the lowest points per game average of any other player on this list, Ronshad Shabazz may be the most athletic of them all. The 6’5” guard has a ton of potential, and will look to take another big step to stardom as a sophomore in 2016-17.
Shabazz averaged 11.9 points per game as a freshman, while only averaging 25.4 minutes per contest. In Sun Belt play, he upped his production to almost 13 points per game, and he scored in double-figures seven times against conference opponents. His career-high 29 point performance against Georgia Southern showed that he has the potential to be the top option on offense as his career progresses.
However, it’s his athletic ability that will set him apart from the rest. If this dunk is any indication, we’ll see Ronshad Shabazz on the national stage more frequently as a sophomore.

4 of their players are listed on the Rivals top 150: #19, #64, #103, and #134.
It would be nice since we are now in the third year of employing their former head coach who created the program himself if we were able to bring in some of the guys their program produces without them basically immediately transferring away.

Huntington Prep's first player to be drafted in the NBA was former Louisville Cardinal and National Champion Gorgui Dieng in 2013. Gorgui was selected 21st overall by the Utah Jazz and then traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
2013 Graduate Andrew Wiggins was the number one pick in the 2014 NBA draft after he played college basketball for the University of Kansas. Some of the former players playing in college currently are Thomas Bryant (Indiana University), Xavier Rathan-Mayes (Florida State), Patrick Strake (Texas Tech), Dominic Woodson (Memphis), Carlos Arroyo (Chowan University), Travon Landry (New Mexico State), Tanveer Bhullar (New Mexico State), Williams Gabriel (New Hampshire) Moses Kingsley (Arkansas), Justin Coleman (Louisville/Marshall University/Illinois State), Maurice Aniefiok (Ole Miss/North Texas), Sim Bhullar (New Mexico State), Jeramiah Davis (University of Cincinnati/Ball State), Aleksandar Kesic (Iona University), Charles Lee (Cleveland State), Ibrahima Djimde (Illinois/Coastal Carolina), Negus Webster-Chan (Missouri/Hawaii), Stefan Jankovic (Missouri/Hawaii), Elijah Macon (West Virginia), JaVontae Hawkins (South Florida), Manroop Claire (Hawaii/Seattle) along with more to come every year.
