Evaluations

PF Dominic Francis from Russia High School in Ohio is a sleeper in the class of 2025. I recently watched him play at the Dru Joyce Classic with over 400 teams in the tournament. I instantly fell in love with his game. He has a strong frame (6-6) and is a good athlete. He had several easy dunks or alley-oops off the backboard while also ripping down rebounds. Dominic has very good footwork down low and is aggressive moving people out of the way in the paint. He has a nice shooting form, a true grit and passion for the game! I expect him to keep developing this summer and emerge into a super-athletic, dunk-on-you, take-no-prisoners type of player.   Dominic also showed off his solid defensive abilities both on the ball with smaller guards and down low on bigs. His athleticism makes it seem effortless to easily grab many rebounds in a game. He is multi-dimensional, and will be a great 3 or 4 for the next level. Dominic does need to improve on his ball handling creativity, but he can handle the ball well enough at his position. He also needs to be more aggressive in the sense of taking outside shots, but with the right coach and system he will be dangerous. Dominic is connecting with trainers to improve his ball handling and shooting all summer to become an elite player. These are the type of late-bloomer players any college coach will love because he works hard and is just now getting showcased and will only get better.   Overall, Dominic is a very good player – athletic and long. He has college strength right now, and also does a great job off the court holding a 3.8 GPA. — DJ Blanks, ScoutU Basketball Scout, DJ@ScoutU.com, 216-990-8617

Message from Dominic

My name is Dominic Francis, and I attend Russia Local School in Ohio. I am a 6-foot-6, 190-pound 2025 C/F and currently hold a 3.8 GPA. I’m planning on majoring in Business Management in college. I have been an Honor Roll student throughout high school and am currently taking some college credit classes. Athletically, I’ve received the Most Improved award in multiple sports. During my junior season, I earned a varsity letter on a team that advanced to the Division 4 State Semifinals. I have a 32-inch vertical jump and 81-inch wingspan.   Some of my strengths on the court include being able to react to situations quickly, as well as communicating with and without the ball. I have good floor awareness and am confident in my skill of finishing strong at the rim. I am just as much a team player as I am an individual player, on and off the court. I pride myself in being disciplined and consistent in my everyday life as well. I am in the weight room five times a week, in the gym working on my shot and ball handling every day, all while maintaining a healthy, protein-filled diet. I love playing competitively during games, but being in an empty gym putting up shots is my sanctuary and happy place.   I am also very active within the community and school with volunteering. Over the past year, I have regularly helped a fifth grader who is struggling with reading three times a week during my personal hours, and I also work the food line at our annual community festival.   I am a unique person not just because of my athletic abilities, but also because I care for others. This includes teammates, coaches and classmates. Being raised in a very small, close-knit community, I like to believe I have values instilled in me that will carry me through the next stage of my life in a positive manner. Thank you for taking some of your valuable time to view my profile, and I look forward to hearing from you.
