Liberty has one of the best Mid Major prospects in the 2026 NBA Draft in 6’7 Senior Point Forward Zach Cleveland.
Cleveland has been one of the most versatile players in the country this season averaging 11/8/7 along with 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals a game. He’s also shooting 61% from the field.
Cleveland’s mix of playmaking , athleticism, defense, and finishing at 6’7 gives him a unique mix of versatility and he uses that to his advantage on both ends. He’s shown the ability to guard the 1-5 at a high level this season and has been one of the best mid major defenders in the country on the defensive end, using his athleticism, instincts, and size to his advantage. On the offensive end Cleveland uses his elite passing vision to find his teammates with and without the ball, while also having the ability to be a creator at the rim or an off ball finishing 4.

MiraCosta College (JUCO) transfer Ramel Bethea has committed to Green Bay, he announced.
Bethea graduated high school in 2013 but enrolled in the Navy shortly after. During the time of his service, he grew from 6’3” to 6’9” and reached a 7’4” wingspan.
His friends in the Navy quickly urged him to pursue a basketball career. While finishing in the Navy as a Petty Officer of the 3rd class, Bethea participated in the 2022 Armed Forces Basketball Championship.
This was his first time playing competitively in years and he received attention from local California junior colleges.
While at MiraCosta College, he averaged a double-double and quickly received D1 interest.
One of the more intriguing stories I’ve ever covered.
