Tevin Mack to VCU: Rams Land 4-Star SF Prospect

VCU landed one of the best small forwards in the high school basketball Class of 2015.

On Thursday, forward Tevin Mack announced that he will be a Ram, according to ESPN's Reggie Rankin:

The Dreher High School star is the 12th best small forward in the country, the second best player from South Carolina and is ranked 66th overall in the nation, according to 247Sports' composite rankings. 

As one of the dark horses in the recruiting process, VCU made one of the biggest signings of the day when it landed Mack. Not only will Mack bring elite skill for the Rams to utilize on the court, but he also will bring name recognition and will pave the way for more elite recruits to chose VCU in the future.

Under head coach Shaka Smart, Mack will be expected to arrive at the school next year and make an instant impact. With playmakers throughout the roster and depth at every position, Mack will have to earn playing time, but will be given opportunities to shine.

This is an ideal landing spot for the prospect and a major signing for the school.

Regardless of where Mack ended up landing, he is still one of the best players in the 2015 class and would have made any team instantly better. The 6’6” small forward is still growing and has the potential to blossom into a dominant force at his position.

With the ability to drive the lane and fill the bucket, along with the willingness and accuracy to shot from anywhere on the court with consistency, Mack has the potential to develop into a top-tier scoring threat at the next level.

Mack will add another elite star to an already impressive roster, and basketball fans must keep an eye on him as he continues to develop into a game changer at the collegiate level. It will be fun to watch Mack thrive in his new environment.
