Before the grassroots circuit started a few months ago,
Rashad Vaughn was elevated into the national top 10, settling in at No. 6 in the class of 2014. The move looks to have been a wise one because the 6-foot-5 shooting guard had a solid run in the Nike EYBL that he backed up with a great performance at the Pangos All-American camp.
Because of his size, ability to shoot with range and athleticism, Vaughn is extremely tough for high schoolers to handle. Take away the deep jumper, and he's too strong to keep out of the lane. He goes to his left easily, and once at the rim he's an explosive finisher who can go over bigger players.
There are times when Vaughn's shot selection isn't ideal, and he sometimes will turn an easy shot into a difficult one. But these are things that he will work on with time and, once he becomes as comfortable shooting off of the catch as he is off the dribble, defenders will be scrambling even more.
He's ranked as the top shooting guard in the class of 2014, and that doesn't look to be changing after his run in Long Beach. Before leaving the area, Vaughn fit in a quick Sunday afternoon visit to
UCLA, and he continues to list
Iowa State,
Minnesota,
North Carolina,
Kansas,
Louisville,
Kentucky,
Baylor and many others.
Vaughn told Rivals.com that he's hoping to have his school list cut down by late June.

A combo guard who can score at all three levels -- the rim, midrange and deep -- he continues to tighten his handle and force fewer deep jumpers, and he's getting more and more vocal. While he can pass well and isn't selfish, his strength is scoring and like always he performed well on the glass for a 6-foot-4 rising junior.
