(2025)- SF Aleks Alston to Maryland

[Demo]

6’9” SF who plays for Kenwood Academy in Chicago and Mac Irvin Fire in the EYBL. Unrated pretty much everywhere at this point, but blew up in EYBL session 1 and has also received offers from Georgia and Georgetown. Apparently a big time shooter. Shot 19-34 from 3 in 4 games this weekend. And, of course, he’s left-handed.

Check out the video at the end of Schumann’s article. Sure, it’s a highlight clip, but that is one clean, simple stroke. No drift. Doubt he gets in many slumps.

Another Smooth Lefty. You are right his shot is simple and pure. Hope we can get him to Bloomington.

Updated scouting report with a little on Alston’s recruitment. Keep seeing him listed as a wing, but the athleticism and explosiveness is gonna have to take a couple of steps up for that to happen. Looks to me like a pick and pop 4, and potentially a really good one. That stroke is bullet-proof.

I will take your word for it since it is behind a paywall.  Seems like an interesting prospect, that's for sure.

Apparently, Dad is a coach in the Mac Irvin Fire EYBL program. Didn’t know that. Wouldn’t be the worst contact in the world to have.

Nice to see someone scouting him as a 4, which he absolutely is.

6-9, 170 lb. Yikes, he needs to hit the buffet line and weight room. Still has 2 years to fill out.

He’s more than 170. Closer to 200. And he’ll carry 225 in college, no problem.

Indiana: “They make me feel like I’m family when I talk with them. Even though I haven’t been down there on a visit yet, they’re showing me that I’m welcome. They’ve shown me a lot about how I fit and that they really want me. They’re a transition team, and they move the ball a lot. Watching them play, they get it and go. They play inside and out, which opens up spacing for the shooters. I feel like they fit how I play.”

Alston opting for the alternate unis.

Kenwood beaten by Lindblom 61-60.  Kenwood went scoreless for over the last 3 min. of the game and had too many TOs with sloppy passes.  Alston had a great 1st Q with 7p; 3r; 3a and I thought I was in for a real treat.  Wrong!  He virtually disappeared after that and didn't score another point nor get another assist.  He did get 3 more rebounds.  The stream cut out a couple of times, but I only had him for a single shot attempt in the 2nd half.  He was on the court but the ball rarely found its way into his hands and if it did, he gave it up quickly.
