Prospect Introduction: Kaden Metheny

Who is he?:

Kaden, a native of Morgantown, West Virginia, just completed his final season playing with University High School (Morgantown, WV). They finished the year at 22-3 overall and secured the top seed in the Class AAA state tournament before the season was canceled due to the coronavirus. Metheny averaged 25.6 points, 4.8 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game this past winter, all while making 38-percent of his 3-point attempts. Metheny spent this past summer playing with Big Shots Elite Va, where he played alongside fellow University High student athletes' Kadin "KJ McClurg (University of New Hampshire commit) and John Ross Mazza (Washington & Jefferson College commit).

A 5'11" scoring guard that can really fill up the stat sheet. Metheny is a great shooter from both 3 and mid range and is a solid finisher. Metheny possesses a high sense of shot IQ and is a solid passer. Kaden is a good defender and has an insanely high motor, nobody plays harder than him.

My first look at him and my immediate thought was that he reminds me of a younger Darren Collison. Each display a tremendous pull up game, use of ball fakes, confidence in their ability to score the basketball but also possess an elite handle and solid passing and intellect in which they can see tiny holes within the defense to penetrate and create for himself and others.

Recruitment?:

Metheny has committed to play basketball at Bowling Green State University in the Mid Atlantic Conference (MAC). He also held Division I offers from Akron University, College of the Holy Cross, Drexel University, Elon University, James Madison University, Lafayette College, Lipscomb University, Niagara University, The College of William & Mary, The University of Pennsylvania, The University of Rhode Island, The University of South Alabama, The University of South Carolina-Upstate, The University of Toledo, Western Carolina University, and Youngstown State University.
