4-star Rakease Passmore sets official visit

Rakease Passmore took off this summer, literally and figuratively. His consistent, jaw-dropping athletic exploits put him on the radar enough to make his debut at No. 36 in the recent 2024 On3 150 update.

The four-star wing has set his first official visit. He will travel to Bloomington, Indiana, to visit Mike Woodson and the Indiana Hoosiers on November 6-8.

Since the start of the Fall live evaluation period in September, Passmore has added offers from Kansas, Virginia, Southern California, Indiana, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Missouri, Virginia Tech, Memphis, and more. The wing is now approaching 30 total claimed offers.

Passmore is a 6-foot-5 wing at Lincolnton (NC) Combine Academy. He played on the 16u Adidas 3SSB Circuit this summer with the Garner Road program. To say Passmore is explosive may be an understatement.

Passmore previously had a visit set with Oregon, but scheduling conflicts on that date had to postpone. Passmore is still looking to take that visit.

Passmore’s scouting report

Rakease Passmore is a lengthy and highly explosive wing. At 6-foot-5, there is talk of him having a 46-inch max vertical jump. When he gets a head of steam, he attacks the rim with bad intentions. Passmore is much developed as a shooter. The release is high and consistent. He needs to develop creating off the bounce and building consistency, getting the ball into his shot pocket off the live dribble. Passmore has a high-level work ethic, which is evident by his rapid improvement over a short amount of time. He averaged 21 points playing with the Garner Road program on the Adidas 3SSB 16u Circuit. There is a massive upside here, and the work is showing to reach his vast ceiling.
