Liam is a high-octane, high-IQ floor general who sets the tone with tempo, toughness, and total command. He’s a versatile guard who thrives both on the wing and in the backcourt, blending fast footwork with quick decision-making to create havoc on both ends. Whether he’s attacking off the dribble, hitting midrange pull-ups, or delivering dimes in transition, Liam keeps defenses guessing. He plays the game with controlled aggression, recognizing mismatches, keeping defenders off balance, and making the right play. His feel for the game is matched by his fire as a vocal leader who organizes rotations, sets the pace, and brings relentless energy on every possession.

This past season, Liam averaged 8 points, 5 assists, 6 rebounds, and multiple steals per game, stats that reflect his ability to impact the game in every area. The biggest improvement in his game came from tightening up his shooting touch, developing a quicker release to become a more dangerous threat from the perimeter. He’s now spending the offseason building strength and speed, preparing to absorb contact at the rim and turn up his defensive intensity. His most impactful moments came not from highlight reels but from making the right play under pressure, keeping the team locked in, directing traffic, and stepping up as a leader when it mattered most.

Liam plays for FTF (Finish the Fight) and Klein Oak Panthers on the AAU circuit. He’s already battled at Ballin on the Beach in Fort Lauderdale and dominated Houston GASO, collecting rings while improving his conditioning and showcasing his all-around game. His AAU goals are to gain more exposure, help his squad win, and put his name on the radar of college coaches looking for a gamer with grit, IQ, and leadership. As his senior year approaches, Liam is ready to lead his high school team to another strong season, while staying locked into his 4.6 GPA and all-academic honors.

Off the court, Liam finds joy in the quiet moments with his parents, younger brother, and two little sisters. But on the hardwood, nothing fires him up more than breaking down a defense with his squad and staying two steps ahead of every opponent’s move. When facing adversity, he uses it to fuel him. He controls what he can, resets with poise, and keeps his confidence rooted in preparation and trust. The best advice he’s ever received is, "Be 100% coachable and don’t overthink, just trust the process, your coach, and your teammates."

Liam’s combination of size, speed, and basketball IQ gives college coaches a multi-dimensional guard who can impact every possession. His court awareness and unselfish play style elevate those around him. With his ability to manage tempo, break down defenders, and make smart decisions, he can anchor a college backcourt from day one.

Expect Liam to continue evolving, physical development, perimeter shooting, and leadership have him becoming one of the most complete guards in his class. As his senior season unfolds, he’s poised to get on the radar of college programs looking for a reliable, dynamic playmaker with heart, hustle, and a high ceiling. Stay tuned.
