It has been a spectacular year for five-star 2028 prospect and the No. 1 player in the state of Arkansas, Anthony Spratt Jr.
During his freshman campaign, Spratt averaged totals of 24 points a game, along with 10 boards, and four dimes. He was the state’s underclassman of the year and drew the attention of many programs around the country.
For a kid with so much time left in his high school career, you can get a gist of where his career and game are headed. Three-level scorer, high-IQ prospect, can plug in at multiple positions, and has shown he will do whatever it takes to win.
His game has translated into EYBL play. He has begun 16U play on an absolute tear and was named a standout performer at the most recent EYBL session. He totaled 21 points per game, along with two steals per game, and shot 42% from three.
Following a successful session, Spratt Jr. spoke with Stockrisers.com and provided a brief update on his recruitment and evolution.
