Each and every time Phenom Hoops gets to report or sees a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player.
Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Madden Collins
Class: 2025
Committed to: American
What Has Been Said:
“He’s a skilled, wiry guard prospect with the ability to produce from either backcourt position. Collins can reliably pass, dribble, and shoot the ball while making his presence felt as a defender and rebounder. He’s a quality spot-up threat with an understanding of how to cut and find open opportunities, but can also create shots for himself and others. Collins offers a steady two-way presence on the court, yet is capable of expanding his production and leading the team when necessary. He’s already a very useful piece but will only continue to get better with additional strength. Expect him to be a priority for various programs over the coming years.”
“He’s a naturally connective piece with the combination of IQ, poise, and well-rounded skillset to make an impact in virtually every type of setting. Collins is comfortable when tasked with running the team as a lead ball-handler and playmaker, but can also apply scoring pressure in a variety of ways. He’s a lethal spot-up threat with the ability to attack closeouts, make smart decisions, and heat up quickly from the perimeter. Collins defers well to his teammates and looks to unselfishly get everyone involved in the offense. He’s also a great defender and willing rebounder with sharp instincts. Collins is tougher and more physical than his wiry frame would imply.”
“He’s a smart, steady, well-rounded guard prospect who offers great balance and scoring efficiency. Collins possesses a tight handle and sharp vision, which allows him to comfortably dictate the action as a main creator. That being said, he’s also more than capable of playing without the ball and finding opportunities. Collins creates well for himself and others, moves well as a cutter, and makes his presence felt as a spot-up threat. Collins is a solid all-around defender who contains his assignment with relative ease. He outworks opponents on both ends of the floor to make hustle plays and secure rebounds. Coach Kuhn on Collins: “Madden is a very skilled guard who rebounds at an elite level for his position. He has a natural feel for the game, and his ability to change speeds on offense is rarely found in high school athletes.” Collins stood out as a difference-maker at camp and could be poised for a breakout season for Christ School.”
