Joshua Rice (Class of 2026) isn’t built on hype — he’s built on production, leadership, and real guard habits.

After competing in Texas 6A at Steele High School, Rice relocated to Hampton, Virginia for his senior year and brought the same things that translate at every level: pace control, playmaking IQ, rebounding from the guard spot, on-ball defense, and a steady scoring package.

In this One-Eyed Scout Watchlist episode, we break down:

• Why his Texas → Virginia transition matters to college coaches
• What separates him as a true floor general, not just a scorer
• The underrated details — leadership, timing, defensive impact — that don’t show up in mixtapes

This episode is for coaches, parents, and players who value real basketball over highlight noise.

Sun Jinkal is a real stock riser — and this is the follow-up interview after seeing him compete and produce this summer.

In this OES Watchlist episode, we go deeper than highlights. We talk competitiveness, shot selection, leadership, film honesty, toughness, and the habits that translate when the level jumps.

This is the kind of conversation college coaches care about:

How he responds when it gets physical

How he thinks the game (not just how he scores)

What he sees on film when nobody’s clapping

What “trust” actually looks like possession to possession

If you’re a player, parent, or coach — this is how you learn what separates talent from impact.
