2024 Four-Star guard Labaron Philon sets commitment date

Labaron Philon, a four-star point guard in the class of 2024, will announce his college decision on Friday, February 3rd at 12:30 pm CT.

The 6-foot-4 junior out of Mobile (Ala.) Baker HS is set to choose between six schools: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Kansas, Ole Miss, and Tennessee.

Auburn has hosted Philon on an official visit and Alabama has hosted him unofficially.

In addition to Philon’s six finalists, he also received offers from LSU, Missouri, Houston, Louisville, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, among others.

Philon ranks as the No. 38 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus — the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies (ESPN, 247Sports, Rivals, On3).

Scouting Report

“Labaron Philon is a quick on quick lead guard,” On3’s Jamie Shaw writes. “He has long arms and a projectable frame with wide shoulders. Philon has a quick handle that gets him into the paint. He can knock down a jump shot with three-point range and consistency. There is a confidence and a competitiveness with Philon. He needs to add strength as he has a slight frame. There is upside on the defensive end; he can move his feet guarding the ball and is quick to get into the passing lanes. There is a natural smoothness he has on the ball with an upside to continue getting better.”
