One prospect in the class that continues to improve and climb up the ladder among the other prospects in the 2016 class is Dysart High School's 6-foot-10 rising senior post Malik Ondigo. While still developing a great deal, Ondigo has developed quickly and has emerged as one of the elite post prospects in the class.
After an excellent spring and summer (2014) for himself, Ondigo showed excellent improvement as a player and became a serious division-I college prospect. He has continued his development throughout the high school season, and emerged as one of the top individual performers in the state last season.
As a result of Ondigo's strong development as a player, he has generated some serious college interest, as numerous schools are now taking notice of him. Many more scholarship offers should begin pouring in for the developing post prospect over the next year.
Here is a new highlight video of Ondigo from the spring . . .
Arizona Hoop Review Scouting Report: Post players often take a much longer time to develop as college prospects, and as a result, I always have to project where a student-athlete will land over time. A post talent such as Ondigo projects extremely well, since he has excellent length and is still growing. His length and athleticism are attractive and his work ethic is as well. Ondigo has the body and early skillset that suggests that he will only continue to develop a great deal. His best attributes currently are his length which allow him to block or alter shots consistently, while also being able to actively rebound outside of his area of the floor. He has good anticipation and lateral quickness, and is also able to run the floor and finish in transition. Offensively, Ondigo has a solid jump hook and solid footwork, but is still developing. He will need to continue to develop his low post moves and also develop a consistent mid-range jump shot over time. As he gains a better feel for the game offensively, he will reach his maximum potential as a player. His best asset on the floor is his defensive ability and activity on the floor, which allows him to affect games. His affect on the game will only increase over time as well. A nice looking prospect all the way around with a very bright future ahead.
