Scouting Report

Corey Daniels brings an already impressive foundation of size, instinct and motor for a freshman front-court player. At 6’6” and 190 lbs, he demonstrates a strong physical baseline and appears ready to further grow into a power-forward/center role.

On film, Corey shows a keen ability to attack the glass with purpose—he consistently positions himself well, boxes out, and secures clean rebounds on both ends of the floor. He displays timing on his pursuits and doesn’t hesitate to go into traffic. This works hand in hand with his emerging shot-blocking instincts: he uses his length and anticipation to alter or reject shots, showing a clear defensive impact even as a younger player.

Offensively, he operates mainly in the paint and excels in a pick-and-roll or high-post set. He handles the ball off the catch, creates space with footwork, and finishes around the rim with either hand, through contact, or off the glass. His touch is already solid, especially given his youth. He also shows flashes of passing out of the post: when double-teamed, he scans and finds the open man rather than forcing his way into trouble — a plus for his future versatility.

Defensively, Corey is active. He shows ability to rotate to the rim, protect the paint, and contest without fouling. On the perimeter more than expected for his size, he shows willingness to hedge or step out. His lateral mobility is functional now and will be an important area for growth as he defends quicker wings or switches more often.

On the offensive end, while his paint game is ascending, he is not yet a consistent threat from outside. In the highlights, he seldom operates beyond mid-range and doesn’t yet show a reliable jump shot or three-point range. As the game evolves, developing that stretch element—and becoming more comfortable facing up and attacking off the bounce—will allow him to unlock new tiers of offensive value. His athleticism is good, but adding strength and maybe refining burst and change-of-direction will help him defend at the next level and finish more aggressively when doubling occurs.

Beyond the stat sheet and film, Corey’s academic responsibility (4.0 GPA) and multiple honors signal strong character, coachability and work ethic—traits college coaches favor as much as on-court skills. With his profile already showing signs of two-way impact, his trajectory is steep. If he continues to add strength, expand his versatile offensive game, and refine his lateral quickness and shooting, he projects as a high-level two-way frontcourt who can rebound, protect the rim, score inside, pass out of the block, and anchor a college team’s interior for years.

Key Development Focus

  • Expand shooting range (mid- to three-point) and create face-up threat.

  • Improve lateral quickness and agility to better defend on the perimeter and switch when required.

  • Add strength and explosiveness for finishing through traffic and winning post battles at higher levels.

  • Continue refining his passing decision-making and floor-vision from the block/high-post.

In sum: Corey has the tools, instincts and character to become a major front-court asset at the collegiate level. With proper development and competitive rebounding/defensive instincts already in place, the next phase will be honing the perimeter offensive elements and further athletic refinement. Colleges looking for a multi-dimensional big with room to grow should keep a close eye on his progress.
