Others on Justin Coleman

"Above the rim. I like to finish above the rim.” -- Justin Coleman

Says enough for me, but here's what other sources have said about our 5-star commit...

* ESPN's Scout, Inc (from May, 09)

Coleman is an aggressive wing that can score in bunches. He is an above the rim finisher in transition and can hit the open three with regularity. He has a smooth stroke and shoots with great confidence. Threes off the catch or dribble are not a problem for Coleman, he does a great job of spotting up on the side of the floor where dribble penetration is occurring and he sprints off screens locked and loaded. The one or two dribble mid-range pull up is also in the scoring package. Coleman has great size and strength to get to the rim as well. He is a good enough ball handler to beat his defender off the dribble with spin moves and he is strong enough to attack the lane and score through contact or draw the foul.

* Huntington Prep Coach Rob Fulford

We have 11 Division I prospects on this team. Each one was the main player on the team he came here from. Justin is still adjusting to being just one of several scorers. He'll still be our leading scorer most of the time, and he'll definitely play in the NBA one day. One of these days, he's going to find himself guarding the likes of Kobe [Bryant] and LeBron [James]. He needs to get used to giving that kind of effort now.

Justin is a freak athlete. It just comes down to him learning to play hard for 32 minutes. If his desire to play matches his athletic ability, he has just so much potential. If he plays hard, he is an All-American caliber player.

Coleman didn’t have the best game in Dayton, seemingly never getting in a groove offensively. Though the insane athleticism he possesses was evident both in warm-ups and on the defensive end, where his nasty bounce was on display. The powerfully built guard couldn’t get a jumper from beyond the arc to drop offensively and struggled handling the rock, but it just appeared to be an off game for this elite recruit. The Virginia native has shown far long enough that he’s a bigtime player with crazy upside, which is why many of the nation’s top teams are still recruiting him.
