Mountain Pointe High School's 6-foot-6 senior forward Lawrence Combs soared well below the recruiting radar in Arizona, even though he deserved a lot higher recruiting attention. As a result, Combs turned back his cap and straight played his way into a scholarship offer with a strong performance this spring on the AAU/club circuit.
This is an excellent story for Arizona's youth basketball talent today, as Combs did not pout but rather earned himself a scholarship through hard work and strong play.
While playing for a talented Powerhouse Hoops 17U Black team this spring, a team that would finish very strong in both evaluation period events, Combs would come up very big for their team - leading the team in rebounds and providing some tough interior defense against some stiff competition. Combs especially came up big for Powerhouse Hoops in Las Vegas during their exciting runner-up finish in the West Coast Elite Spring Classic in Las Vegas.
Combs is a sure-fire talent for the next level, as he possesses serious athleticism and a live body. He runs the floor very hard and is a strong finisher in the open floor and plays very aggressive. Combs is a nice find late for a college program as he should be able to contribute immediately next season.
Congratulations to Combs on this tremendous accomplishments for himself and his family from our staff here at Arizona Preps.
