| Clarence "CJ" Hornbeak III-2023 Toledo |
We recently featured a Toledo-based rising star in Michael
Greenlee Jr.; however, the “Glass City” seems to be loaded with young talent,
especially in the class of 2023. Clarence “CJ” Hornbeak III
(5’6/PF/Toledo/2023) is another young stud with loads of potential. Hornbeak began establishing his reputation
during his play with a Maumee Bay Turf Basketball Club team that we considered
as a top 10 team (class of 2023) last season.
We were so impressed with Hornbeak that we selected him Second Team All-Ohio last season and gave him a spot on the prestigious Ohio North vs
South All-Star game.
From what we know of Hornbeak, he has good size and a
developing skill set that allows him to both bang in the post and step outside
and do damage on the perimeter. We also
saw a recent video, which confirms Hornbeak is developing a consistent jump
shot out to 17 feet. Moreover, because of his size and ball skills, Hornbeak is
versatile and able to play multiple positions.
The last time we saw Hornbeak was at our fall session of the
Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase, where his impressive play garnered him an all-star
game selection. Additionally, when we
saw him initially in our spring session, Hornbeak’s debut culminated in an all-star game appearance. After his performance in March, we had this to say about
Hornbeak: “…We have to mention his AAU
teammate, CJ Hornbeak III
(5’6”/C/Toledo), who came to Columbus with a rep and confirmed many of the
positive things we had heard about him. Hornbeak is a big that rebounds at a
high rate and is effective at scoring close to the bucket. We also think
we saw him step away and flash some perimeter skills as well. Hornbeak is
definitely a player to watch going forward…” You can catch Hornbeak in
action at our March 4th Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase.
Before we close, we would be remised if we did not give some
props to Hornbeak’s AAU teammate, Deric
Jaynes (5’0/PG/Toledo/2023), who has also made his reputation excelling at
our elite showcases, and who also hails from Toledo. In fact, at our spring event earlier this year, Jayness' dynamic play led to an all-star game selection, which then led to a Top 5 Award. In addition, Jaynes was also selected as Buckeye Prep Third Team All-Ohio and also
participated in the Ohio North vs South All-Star Game. As we said earlier,
Toledo is absoutly loaded with young talent.
That Turf team is loaded but i never hear anyone speak about Jaylen Murphy aka lil Curry. The kid has range and accuracy from deep and nice midrange touch. Some say best shooter in NW ohio.
ReplyDeleteYeah! That’s true. Parents should always be aware of their children habits and their daily activities because it can be dangerous when you left your children with anyone else without knowing anything. I have some tips through which parents can keep an eye on their children, but I can only share them once I find phd dissertation writers because I have to complete my dissertation in any way.
