Wide receiver Tyler Williams has already made two trips to Miami this year, and this weekend, he will make his third official visit to UM when he travels to Coral Gables to start his tour. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound wide receiver visited Miami in February and March, and the coaching staff of the Hurricanes was the main reason he left.
The Nike EYBL stop in Kansas City over Memorial Day weekend afforded prospects of all levels the opportunity to put their best foot forward in front of the assembled media and scouts. 247Sports was on hand the entire weekend and today we’re continuing our in-depth recap of the top players on hand.
After discussing his personal top-10 players and eight battle-worthy four-stars from the class of 2025, National Director of Basketball Eric Bossi is moving on to a group of 15 three-star prospects from the rising senior class who thrived over the weekend. Some of these guys were completely off the radar just a few months ago, some are slowly climbing and a few of them are making strong cases to move into the 247Sports Top-150 when we update our rankings during June.
In the EYBL, the 6-foot-6 Mason Blackwood has been a key player for the City Rocks, who have amassed an 11-4 record. He initially drew our attention in the latter part of the previous summer due to his output, versatility, and lack of force. Since then, Blackwood has improved and added a little bit more expertise. Synergy reports that despite not shooting a lot of threes per game, he is making over 50% of them and scoring close to 14 points on average.
Blackwood, which is currently ranked just outside of the Top-150, will definitely be given serious consideration for advancement. What’s more, he’s drawing a lot of interest from colleges. In May, Boston College, Northwestern, Rutgers, Wake Forest, and West Virginia extended high-major offers to Blackwood. Team United’s Madden Collins, CG Madden Collins is a cunning combo guard with elite academic credentials and strong ancestry.
His mother Ariana Moore played at Temple and currently serves as the Director of Basketball Operations at South Carolina for his godmother Dawn Staley. His father, Mardy Collins, was an NBA player.
