Amauri Coleman (Class of ’21) is a 6-3 combo guard from Peabody Magnet High School in Alexandria, Louisiana. Coleman is currently uncommitted.
Amauri Coleman is a player that had to wait his turn to be next up to be the next man up playing on a Peabody Warhorse squad that was loaded at the guard position the last 3 years.
Last season, Coleman showed that he was capable of stepping up to the plate and playing on the big stage when he had a coming out party against another Louisiana Powerhouse, Madison Prep (Baton Rouge, LA). Coleman scored in double figures, made a number of clutch free-throws and shots and defensive stops down the stretch of that game to seal the victory.
Coleman is a gamer and true competitor. He is an excellent rebounder and pushes the ball well in transition. Coleman possesses a great understanding of how to fill the lanes correctly when running the break and finishes well at the rim. Coleman is a versatile player that can play both guard positions and is an excellent mid-range scorer and has the ability to step out and shoot the 3-Ball. Coleman is an excellent free-throw shooter and has great court vision and is a next level defender that does a superior job of playing the passing lanes and pressuring the ball handler. This kid is a very hard worker and takes a business trip approach every time he steps in the gym. True next level work ethnic.
Coaches, this kid will be a great addition to any program on any level!!!!
