NEW Intel: Four-star Aden Holloway enamored with ONE school

Aden Holloway is the 2023 On3 Consensus No. 39 player. The 6-foot-0 guard is averaging 17.2 points and 5.5 assists per game with Team CP3 on Nike’s EYBL Circuit. 

Holloway recently announced he would be transferring to Napa (CA) Prolific Prep for his senior season. He has taken four junior year official visits, Wake Forest, Tennessee, Auburn, and Miami.

The scoop

For a while, many have thought Aden Holloway’s recruitment was a two-team race. Auburn and Tennessee jumped out to an early lead for the point guard. 

In April, Miami hired Kotie Kimble from Charlotte. Kimble had a previous relationship with Holloway and was able to get Miami in the picture enough to get an official visit. 

Intel says that the smoke around Auburn and Tennessee as the top two options was legit at the end of the day. Sources close to the situation tell me that, as of pressing publish on this piece, Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers should feel comfortable with where things are.

I placed my expert pick in On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) for Aden Holloway to commit to Auburn. I gave the pick 75-percent confidence.

Holloway’s Scouting Report

Aden Holloway is a fearless point guard. He is very crafty with the ball, able to get to his spots off the bounce. He creates space to get his shot off. While Holloway does not have optimal measurables and is an average athlete, his skill and confidence help him produce. The size will be questioned, and any coach who takes him will have to be ok with a smaller guard. He tends to over-dribble and will have to answer some questions on the defensive end. He has consistently been very good for La Porte (IN) LaLumiere School this season against the highest competition.

Holloway’s On3 NIL Valuation

2023 four-star Aden Holloway’s current On3 NIL Valuation is $45,000. This valuation ranks Holloway 11th in high school basketball. On3’s algorithm says Holloway can make $648 per post value.

The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets the standard market NIL value for high school and college-level athletes. A proprietary algorithm, the On3 NIL Valuation, does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a specific moment in time.

The On3 NIL Valuation is comprised of many dynamic data points that focus on three primary categories: social media, athletic performance, and endorsements and collectives.
