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: Abijah Franklin
Class: 2025
Committed to: Furman
What Has Been Said:
“Franklin is a newer name for us at Phenom Hoops but it didn’t take long for us to realize his potential and impact on the court. Franklin has a unique blend of bounce/athleticism along with length at his position. At our recent events, Franklin showed that he can score and create well for himself, comfortably knocking down shots from the perimeter or making plays off the bounce and getting to the rim with ease. Franklin fills it up well and excels in making plays for himself, and he can put on an absolute show in putting defenders on a poster.”
“In an event full of impressive performances, Franklin might’ve been the most memorable piece on display. He’s a long, skilled, athletic wing prospect with size, toughness, and the ability to consistently impact the game on both ends of the floor. Franklin showcased feel, vision, and scoring polish from all levels. He reliably creates clean looks off the dribble, both for himself and others, and makes smart decisions with the ball in his hands. Add in his defense, rebounding, and general adaptability, and Franklin is someone that Division I coaches should be targeting. The USC EYCL squad is truly loaded with scholarship-level pieces and should turn heads for the entire summer season.”
“Franklin was a newer name to learn personally for me but after this weekend, I walked away extremely impressed with what I saw and believe he is firmly a prospect that should be on D1 programs’ radar. He was an efficient scorer all weekend long, doing so from all three levels and with a ton of confidence. Franklin was able to knock down shots from outside with ease, scoring off the bounce or in catch-and-shoot situations and showing his range. He knocked down shots with a smooth release but was one that could attack the defense, get downhill, and display tremendous athleticism in finishing at the rim. Franklin was incredibly effective throughout the event, scoring, creating for others, and being a dynamic weapon on the court.”
