Perry High School's 6-foot-8, 240-pound senior post Ronny Spoon has signed a national letter of intent with John Brown University, an NAIA school located in Arkansas.Spoon recently signed with the school and Head Coach Clark Sheehy, a major accomplishment for Spoon and also Perry High School. Perry High School is a newer high school located in Chandler, Arizona, and will prepare to enter it's fourth year of existence under the leadership of head coach Mark Nold. Spoon has good potential as a low post prospect and has developed a great deal over the past several years. While he is a low post prospect still looking to reach his potential, his best years are still ahead of him.In a state where true low post prospects seem to be very rare, Spoon is one of the state's bigger bodies and a true post presence.Spoon saw much of his development over the past several spring and summers while competing on the AAU/club circuit while playing for both the Arizona Dream Team and also the Arizona Magic club programs.Congratulations to Spoon and his family, as well as the Perry HS basketball program from our staff here at Arizona Preps. Arizona Preps Scouting Report: Spoon definitely has the potential to become a nice prospect, as a result of his willingness to learn and compete. While he is still a little raw on the offensive side of the basketball, Spoon has a good skillset and is capable of playing either with his back to the basket or while facing the basket out to 3-point distance - although he at times finds himself out of position on the offensive end. Needs to stay focused on scoring on the low block. Spoon is currently at his best though when rebounding the basketball, which he does very well, especially since he is not afraid of contact and utilizes his large body very well. He is also a capable shotblocker, since he has a good wingspan and gets off the floor fairly well. Spoon will need continued focus in his lowpost footwork, low post moves and ability to knock down the mid-range jump shot to reach his full potential. Has an excellent attitude and enjoys the game.
