They're defending a 2019 GEICO High School National Championship win. They're coming into the 2021 season ranked No. 2 by MaxPreps. Five of the student-athletes are ranked inside the top 55 of the ESPN100 class of 2021 rankings while four players have made their way into the ESPN60 class of 2022 rankings. So, what's the secret? Does the IMG Academy basketball program simply eat, sleep, and breathe basketball? Think again.
The National Team might have incredible talent, but they also have some undeniable bonds and off-court chemistry. Whether it's joking about a teammate's dance moves, the way they spend their downtime at the Rec Area, or finding funny nicknames that suit their personalities, this team has the same energy on the court as they do outside of the gym.
In this SLAM episode provided by Under Armour, IMG Academy Basketball Director, Brian Nash, provides a scouting report of some of the National Team players you'll want to be looking out for this year and in the future:
- Moussa Diabate, class of 2021, forward, University of Michigan commit
- Tamar Bates, class of 2021, shooting guard, University of Texas commit
- Jarace Walker, class of 2022, power forward
- Eric Dailey Jr., class of 2022, small forward
