Scout Report
The #103 nationally ranked combo guard has already locked in his college destination, choosing Liberty over a crowded field of suitors.
Background
Hailing from Wheeling, West Virginia, Eli Sancomb has developed into one of the premier guards in the Mountain State while suiting up for Central Catholic. Playing alongside elite talents like Oregon-bound point guard Zamir Paschal and Wake Forest commit Isaac Carr, Sancomb has been part of a loaded backcourt that has elevated Central Catholic's profile on the national stage.
Playing Style
Standing 6-5 with combo guard versatility, Sancomb brings impressive size and length to the position that allows him to create mismatches against smaller defenders. His ability to play both on and off the ball makes him a valuable asset, capable of facilitating for teammates while also looking for his own scoring opportunities. The rangy guard uses his frame well to see over defenses and has shown the court vision to make plays in transition and half-court sets. His developmental trajectory suggests continued growth as he adds strength and refines his decision-making at the next level.
Recruitment
With 14 Division I offers in hand, including programs like Iowa, Colorado State, and Miami Ohio, Sancomb ultimately chose Liberty as his college destination. The commitment to the Flames represents a strong fit for his skill set and development timeline. His projection as a versatile backcourt piece who can contribute immediately while having room for long-term growth made him an attractive target for mid-major and power conference programs alike.
