Excellent rebounder with good dribbling skills and he can shoot the ball. He needs to improve his passing but he has the intangibles that coaches love. Very competitive and aggressive player. He is 6'6", and 185 lbs., Rivals 4star, currently rated the 93rd best palyer in his class.

With all of the talent in the Memphis area it, can be easy to forget about 2014 four-star combo forward Marcanvis Hymon of Whitehaven High School. After watching his game on Thursday, it seems that sometimes even Hymon's own teammates don't quite get the point. One thing was clear at Dyer County: When Hymon gets the ball in the low, mid or high post, good things are usually going to happen.

A 6-foot-7 skilled forward with very good athleticism, length and a high motor, Hymon has improved his offensive game by leaps and bounds since the AAU season ended in late July. Hymon is much more comfortable with his back to the basket, and now has excellent footwork, using a lot of advanced pivot moves to free up space for a shot, drive or pass.

While it would've been nice to see Hymon demand the ball on the block more often against an opponent that he was able to dominate athletically, the forward put together a nice overall game. He also made an impact on both the glass and the defensive end, where he showed good effort in blocking several shots and making multiple efforts to rebound tipped balls.

The junior listed Memphis, Cincinnati, Mississippi State, Alabama, Tennessee, Auburn, Missouri and Ole Miss after the game as some of the teams that have been paying him a lot of attention most recently.

I wish the city of Cincy had 1/4 the talent that Memphis does.

Hymon is one of the more versatile face-up power forwards in his class, and he has a nice combination of shooting ability and interior strength at 6-foot-7. Playing against much taller opponents, Hymon did a nice job of floating around the perimeter and knocking down jumpers while his matchup did his best to avoid leaving the paint. Hymon is not afraid to do the dirty work, either. The Rivals150 forward banged inside relentlessly, attacking rebounds with a high motor and showcasing his well-above-average athleticism.

According to Hurd, Cincinnati, Memphis and Arkansas have been recruiting Hymon the most of late.

He has an offer think it will be tough to pull him from the south.

2014 Team Thad (TN) forward Marcanvis Hymon was great at Pitt Jam Fest. He's having another strong weekend early on at the #GCHF.

I thought we looked good with him early but slowly faded and other players became more important.

2014/6'8/PF/Marcanvis Hymon just committed to Ole Miss. Good piece of puzzle for AK.
