6'4/185
Louisville, KY
Monteverde Academy (Monteverde, FL)
Recently the staff visited him and has said that UT is one of the hardest school recruiting him. He's a consensus 5* player. Has a UT offer, along with Cincy, Indiana, Louisville, Missouri, and Ohio State, along with others.
ESPN Evaluation
Strengths:
Russell is sweet shooting lefty that can knock down jumpers all over the floor with range past the arc. He also has a nice floater when he gets deep in the lane where he is also a threat to deliver the ball to an open teammate when he draws multiple defenders. In addition to be a good ball handler and passer his feel for the game is at a high level as well. Russell can also play with the ball in his hands and help at the point. He is a pretty good decision maker and is always a threat to score.
Weaknesses:
Russell will have to stay in full attack mode for long stretches of time which will allow him to be more consistent. Add strength should also be on his to do list.
Bottom Line:
Russell is a scoring guard with great range and feel for the game which allows him to help at the point. He can handle, pass and shoot and is a very complete guard especially on the offensive end of the floor.
