Adams hails from the prestigious Sierra Canyon out of California, the same school that has produced NBA talents Marvin Bagley, Ziaire Williams, Christian Koloko, Amari Bailey, and Cassius Stanley.
247Sports ranks Adams as the No. 40 player in the nation, with On3 filing the forward as the No. 37 player and the 8th-best coming out of California.
On Adams' On3 player profile, it is revealed that his official visit is taking place on September 19th, after Michigan State and before the Texas Longhorns.
Player Review
247Sports director of scouting Adam Finklestein profiled Adams in late July.
"Adams was one of the biggest breakout players of the grassroots season, averaging 20.5 points and 11.4 rebounds per game in EYBL play while shooting 52% from the field, 42% from behind the arc, and 74% from the free-throw line. He’s a true mismatch problem who can play multiple positions and score at different levels.
"While Adams has a very versatile offensive attack, he has a few clear weapons. First, he’s an exceptional mid-range shooter off the dribble. He can create space with his handle, but has very advanced footwork, both at the end of his drives and in the mid-post. He’s even a threat to make some tough one-foot step backs from 12-15 feet and now starting to make threes off the dribble. He’s also a pick-and-pop threat to the arc, able to straight-line drive bad close-outs, put the ball on the floor in the open court, and make reliable decisions (1.5 assists to 1.4 turnovers). At his best, he’s also putting pressure on the rim.
"At 6-foot-7 with solid length, athleticism, and cut, he’s plenty capable of operating as a big wing, but probably best suited defending opposing fours at this point. That also may be the position where his offensive versatility poses the biggest mismatch and where his rebounding is best utilized."
Predictions
On3 lists the Jayhawks as the third-most likely program for Adams to land. First comes USC with an 18.3%, with the Longhorns following second with a 16% chance before Kansas finds itself with a 13.7% chance. 247Sports simply lists Adams with a "Warm" tag, along with Duke, North Carolina, Texas, Michigan State, Kentucky, and USC.
Past Connections
Maximo's brother Marcus committed to the Jayhawks in March of 2023 as the 51st player in the nation according to 247Sports, before hitting the portal in July of the same year, where Marcus then landed at Gonzaga, BYU, and Cal State Northridge before most recently heading to Arizona State.
