Scovens: My relationship has been great with all the coaches at Army. I love the family feel and what they are building up there.
Stats Last Season:
Scovens is having a tremendous season as a senior at Page high school, as he is averaging 20.0 points per game and 4.1 rebounds in just 18 minutes (on average) of action. Scovens continues to show how productive he can be on the court. The 6’6 prospect has continued to elevate his play from when he was a sophomore (3.3ppg) to now as a senior.
What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“He’s a smart, tough, well-rounded wing/forward prospect with the ability to naturally cause matchup problems with his versatile offensive game. Scovens can legitimately lead an offense, given his strong blend of IQ, vision, creation skills, and three-level scoring prowess. He can work with or without the ball, and actively change his approach based on matchup. Coach Bernardi on Scovens: “Josh had a great day. He made huge plays in both of our victories. His shot looks really good and he made big ones throughout the day—including an and-one three to put the squad up by one. He is a big-time kid that puts the team first and will help teams win. He can defend and rebound at a high level. Josh will have a huge season at Page.” Scovens shined throughout his time at camp, and should certainly continue to see an uptick within his recruitment over the coming months.” – NC Top 80 Evaluation ins 2021
“It was like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I’ve been putting in the work and I knew it was only a matter of time but it was like the biggest stress reliever ever. My excitement level was through the roof because I knew I finally proved the doubters wrong.” – Scovens when he first earned the offer from Army
“Scovens is smart, tough, skilled, athletic, and versatile on both ends of the floor, which basically makes him a walking mismatch against most opponents. He possesses a long, fluid frame with sharp defensive anticipation, excellent rebounding instincts, and the necessary polish to handle the ball in transition or effectively create for himself or others in the half-court. Scovens scores the ball at an efficient rate from all levels but also displays terrific cutting instincts and understanding as a spot-up threat.” – Phenom in May 2021
