OTR Hoops: Who to Watch at the Sweet 16 – May 13, 2025
On the Radar Hoops will host its Sweet 16 tournament this weekend during the NCAA Live Period. Below is a checklist of prospects who have stood out on the On the Radar (OTR) Circuit this spring and are worthy of college coaches’ attention.
By: Jonathan Hemingway
Hendrix Loughridge – PSB Tampa – 2026
College coaches are always seeking impactful post players, and Loughridge fits the bill. At 6-foot-10, he protects the rim and poses a significant scoring threat in the post. The center has been gaining attention this spring as a prospect to watch.
’26 Hendrix Loughridge (@hendawg_21) is an emerging prospect on the OTR Circuit.
6’10 with poise and patience on the block. Defensively he blocks and alters shots at the rim.@RossVDG14 has the report from the Battle at the Beach:https://t.co/JmA8A59exa pic.twitter.com/ZrIY4krJZk

Jayden Crawford – Georgia Canes – 2026
The Canes have emerged as a top independent program on the OTR Circuit this spring, with their entire roster poised to draw attention this weekend. Specifically, Crawford is gaining significant momentum. In a marquee victory over top-ranked ATL Xpress, he scored 29 points, including seven 3-pointers. Crawford consistently lights up the scoreboard, delivering multiple 20-point performances this spring.
Jayden Crawford is an ultra quick point guard that can get in the lane at will.
When he heats up he can knock down several shots in a row.

Justin Cunningham – Georgia Legacy – 2026
Cunningham is proving himself on the OTR Circuit this spring as a dynamic offensive force. The Lanier High School (GA) product shoots confidently from deep and attacks off the dribble, scoring in traffic or setting up teammates with precise passes. Though shorter in stature, don’t underestimate him—Cunningham can flat-out play.
2026 @j_cunningham_ has been one of the top scorers on the @OTRHoops circuit this spring. Tough nosed guard with a crafty handle makes it it tough for defenses to stay in front of him @galegacyhoops https://t.co/563mxFjKtl pic.twitter.com/ToVpamDVSK

Zyree Brown – Sewer South – 2026
Brown excelled during the high school season with his Pebblebrook Falcons, leading them to a state Final Four appearance. He’s maintained that momentum on the OTR Circuit this spring, posting multiple 30-point games and a 40-point outburst against the Georgia Canes in March. One of the most dynamic scorers on the circuit, Brown is poised to attract significant attention this weekend.
Zyree Brown is strong for his size and athletic/shifty point guard that competes on both ends of the floor.
He has a good motor and plays the game with urgency and pace.

Jakobe Williams – Team Tatum – 2026
“Williams has been a consistent scorer on the OTR Circuit all spring. The left-handed guard from Tucker High School plays with relentless grit, battling for tough points and victories. His elite ball-handling allows him to change directions as well as anyone we’ve evaluated. If you’re seeking a lead guard who can score and orchestrate, Williams is a prospect to watch at the Sweet 16.
Jakobe Williams is a quick guard who pushes the ball ti get into the seams of the defense.
Williams can score in a variety of ways or dish off to teammates.
