Over the course of July’s live recruiting period, we at College Basketball Talk will be posting anonymous quotes from coaches about the prospects that they are watching and recruiting. With coverage from the LeBron James Skills Academy, Reebok Breakout Classic and Adidas Unrivaled, we had people at the three biggest events of the week.

Here’s what the coaches had to say, with quotes cobbled together from a handful of conversations we had:

CG P.J. Dozier, No. 40 Class of 2015: “Dozier is a GREAT passer. Maybe the smoothest player in the class, so smooth that it’s sometimes hard to tell just how hard he is playing. How healthy is his knee (he had surgery to repair a torn ACL in September)? What position will be play and defend in college?”

PG Payton Pritchard, No. 34 Class of 2016: “Payton Pritchard is a tough, little dude, but I wonder how much his game can grow from here? Still, he hits shots and can get other guys the ball. That’s a necessary combo for a guard in any program.”

PF Horace Spencer, No. 73 Class of 2015: “Spencer’s athletic and he plays the game hard. You know he’s always going to rebound the ball, he’s going to protect the rim and he’s going to run the floor in transition. Look at those shoulders, he’s Thomas Robinson.”

SG Kyle Guy, Unranked Class of 2015: “I’m a fan of Kyle Guy. His body will improve and he has long arms and does so many things to help a team win games.”

SF Brandon Ingram, No. 25 Class of 2015: “Brandon Ingram is a stud. Scores the ball in so many different ways and really does a nice job using ball screens.”

C Kerry Blackshear, Unranked Class of 2015: “Blackshear’s got potential, but he’s got a way to go. He needs to add weight and strength to his frame. He doesn’t hold post position well and he seems off-balance too often. High hips and long legs give him a high center of gravity. Needs to grow into his body.”
