Uncommitted
Scout Report
Standing at 6-10 with elite-level teammates surrounding him, this Connecticut big man is learning what it takes to compete at the highest levels of prep basketball.
Background
Kamsi Awaka hails from Blairstown, Connecticut, and has found his way to Blair Academy, one of the premier prep basketball programs in the nation. At Blair, he's surrounded by exceptional talent, playing alongside Duke commit Deron Rippey Jr., the #10 ranked point guard in 2026, Baylor commit Mayo Soyoye, and rising 2028 shooting guard Ian Archbold. This elite environment has provided Awaka with daily competition against top-tier prospects while developing his game under intense scrutiny.
Playing Style
Awaka brings legitimate size and length to the center position at 6-10, giving him natural advantages in the paint on both ends of the floor. His frame suggests significant upside as he continues to add strength and refine his skill set throughout his prep career. Playing alongside high-level guards like Rippey has likely accelerated his development in pick-and-roll situations and understanding spacing in modern basketball systems. While still developing his overall game, his combination of size and basketball IQ makes him an intriguing prospect for college programs looking for interior presence with room to grow.
Recruitment
Currently ranked #67 nationally in the class of 2027, Awaka has already collected five Division I offers from Maryland, Rhode Island, Iona, High Point, and Fordham. His recruitment appears to be in the early stages with nearly two full prep seasons remaining to elevate his stock. Playing at Blair Academy provides maximum exposure, and continued development alongside elite teammates should only increase his visibility among high-major programs.
