High majors continue checking in on 2024 PF Eli DeLaurier

Eli DeLaurier has brought a steady stream of high major coaches to Albemarle (VA) Miller School. Last night, the 6-foot-8 power forward saw Virginia Tech and Mississippi State stop by the school. He claims offers from both programs.

DeLaurier has played two seasons, 39 games on varsity at Miller School. He averages 8.0 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks in his career. He’s also shot 45 perfect from three and 76 percent from the field.

DeLaurier, who played with Team Loaded Va on the Adidas 3SSb 16u Circuit this summer, his brother Javin DeLaurier played at Duke, and his mother played at Rutgers.

DeLaurier’s scouting report

Eli Delaurier has good length with a very projectable frame. He is a sneaky athlete and can knock down a spot three, either in pick and pop situations or as a trail big. He plays with an excellent motor, almost like a bull in a china shop. You want to get a little more fluid in his movements, and the wonder is how he will move laterally. Delaurier is a good area rebounder and not afraid to stick his nose in there and battle around the basket. He comes from a basketball family with a high major mom and two D-I brothers. All reports are how hard of a worker he is.
