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: Tyler Showalter
Class: 2024
Committed to: Randolph-Macon
What Has Been Said:
“That couldn’t have been more evident at the Carmel MLK Showcase, in which the 6’6 prospect was making plays in a variety of ways and from so many levels. What one can see is the confidence that he plays with, as he has really stepped up and been more assertive on the court for his team. He can be a valuable mismatch with his size and skillset, understanding how to operate from all three levels. Showalter can hurt you from outside off the catch and getting to his spots, he can make plays off the bounce getting to his spots and rising over defenders, or he understands how to operate well around the basket and finish. Furthermore, he is not only a tremendous player on the court but also a great person off the court. This is why this is an unsigned senior who should get hard looks from several programs and could be a tremendous late steal.”
“Although everyone already knows that BSA Supreme is a well-oiled machine, it feels like Showalter still deserves more attention from college coaches. His appeal should be fairly obvious as a skilled, versatile 6-foot-6 wing/forward with athleticism, ball skills, and shooting ability. Showalter possesses the necessary size and on-court tools to consistently impact all facets of the game without needing to force anything. He knows how to cut, post-up, spot-up, or simply find a way to involve himself in the action. Showalter is a reliable defender with the length, instincts, and toughness to cause problems for opponents. He plays with a high motor on both ends of the floor and pursues rebounds on every possession. Showalter also does a great job of making hustle plays and simply being a poised piece within their construct. Add in his IQ, unselfishness, and adaptability, and college programs should definitely be enticed.”
“Given his ability to do a little bit of everything, Showalter seems quite likely to be a major piece over these next two seasons for Butler. He’s a long, active, well-rounded wing/forward prospect who understands how to naturally affect all facets of the game whilst operating within his role on both ends of the floor. Showalter is a reliable shooter and scoring threat with the necessary size to cause matchup problems for opponents. He’s also a committed defender and rebounder who willingly adapts to whatever the team needs.”
