Top-50 sophomore Latrell Allmond updates his recruitment
It’s no secret that the center position continues to grow due to the talent level and versatility of big men in this era. A prime example? John Marshall’s Latrell Allmond.
The 6-foot-8 standout out of Richmond, VA. has had an impressive last few months, continues to bolster his stock, and becomes a prime target early on in his recruiting process.
At Adidas 3SSB last month, he posted a stat line of 10 points, eight boards, and an astounding 2.5 blocks per game. Allmond not only proved his worth in the paint but also showed immense skill from behind the three-point line.
Allmond has been continuing his success into this live period where he’s most recently had a 20-point and 12-rebound outing, as he continues his rise in the 2026 class.
Stockrisers.com got to discuss Allmond’s recruitment with him this past weekend.
