  • Final Evaluation Matthew Ramirez, of Odem (TX) Odem HS, is a 5'7 140lb 2019 prospect from our Fall 2018 HOU camp. College coaches on camp staff identified Matthew as having college potential. Matthew has a decent wingspan, which can be even more effective with active hands/feet. Additionally, the prospect appears to have very good size for position when used properly remains advantageous on both sides of the ball. The talented passer, distributes the ball well seeing the floor and anticipating when and where teammates will be open creating easy buckets. In terms of ball handling, the prospect showed a strong handle and has the potential to be a primary ball handler with daily work. The prospect displayed a good basketball IQ during camp that should continue to improve. Through continued emphasis on making the right play through watching/learning the game, it can be a big advantage in recruiting and separating from others. A big part of IQ is shot selection. Matthew does a great job of understanding when there is enough time and space to shoot the ball and will continue to develop this knowledge by watching how this is done at various college levels. Making the extra pass and taking only open in-rhythm shots proved to be a reliable asset for the prospect. The prospect was able to consistently knock down shots during camp showing to be a reliable asset. Shooting will continue to develop with form shooting and made game speed repetitions. We recommend making at least 500 game speed shots a day off the screen(curl/fades), off the bounce, spot shooting, etc. The talent was a decent finisher around the rim. With continued work finishing through traffic with either hand, through contact, and developing more finishing moves, the player will become a threat at the rim. The talented player has good athletic ability for size and age. ScoutsFocus would like to see continued development in speed/agility and vertical development. Jump rope drills are great full body conditioning drill we highly recommend if not ready for a rigorous weight-training program. We would like to see continued strength development whether it is via traditional strength training means or body weight military type development(pushups/pull-ups). Combined with the player's developing frame, the player will be physically competitive with continued work in the weight room. The talent has a decent motor(highly coveted skill by college coaches). We would like to see continued understanding that every possession is a priority and from what we saw, toughness from the player was shown occasionally at camp. The player showed reliability on the defensive side of the ball and should continue to focus on individual and team defensive concepts emphasized at camp. Matthew has college potential with continued hard work and development both in the classroom and on the hardwood. Can play the 1; 2. AAU Team: Solid Future Elite White.
