Each and every time Phenom Hoop Report 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: Collin Tanner
Class: 2023
Committed to: Richmond
What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“It should be no surprise to see Collin Tanner on another edition of “why doesn’t he have more offers?” At the absolute least, he’s a 6-foot-6 knockdown shooter with size, range, and fluidity. That being said, Tanner is way more than just a shooter. He’s proven capable of legitimately leading a team, propelling Wayne Country Day to a 25-8 record while posting nightly averages of 21.7 PPG, 7.8 RPG, and 1.3 SPG with ridiculously impressive 65/43/74 shooting splits. The transition into travel ball has been seamless. While Team Curry is very balanced, Tanner has more than maintained his status as a leader and overall difference-maker. He’s also a quality rebounder, useful defender, and capable shot-creator for himself and others.”
“He’s more than comfortable at operating as a primary ball-handler, showing useful playmaking ability while applying efficient scoring pressure from all three levels. Tanner possesses a beautiful jumper with deep range, a quick, fluid release point, and the necessary length to get it off clean in pretty much any scenario. He’s also a quality defender and rebounder with an understanding of how to block shots and pester opposing ball-handlers.”
“After a 25-point performance on Day 1, Tanner came back strong once again on Day 2. Not only did he rack up a double-double by halftime, but he continued to show just how effective he can be no matter where he is placed on the court. The 6’6 prospect can be a main ball-handler, run the offense, create for himself off the dribble, finish strong and through contact in the paint, and also be a force on the boards. Tanner does it all and it is why we think he is going to see an uptick in his recruitment quickly.” – Patrick O’Brien
“He does possess IQ, craftiness, and secondary ball-handling, which can allow him to operate as a useful secondary creator. Tanner is a reliable rebounder, defender, and shot-maker with the ability to dominate a game without needing a ton of touches. He plays the passing lanes very well, makes smart decisions in transition, and seems to outproduce his assignment in every possible setting.”
