Battlers Put Offer Out to Class of 2017 Product Riley Heatherington

The Alderson Broaddus basketball coaching staff has been busy in the recruiting process in landing players for next school year. But in the process, the staff has also been thinking ahead in landing prospects for the future. Battler Beat was informed that the ABU men's basketball staff had offered to class of 2017 product Riley Heatherington of Ravenswood High School in Ravenswood, WV. Riley confirmed this information by posting on twitter that this was his first basketball scholarship offer. (see link to tweet below)


Heatherington is a 6'6" junior who is primarily looked at as a wing player. He averaged 18.1 points
per game this past season for the Red Devils and helped Ravenswood advance to the 2016 West Virginia Boys AA State Tournament. He is a player built with great length who likes to play on the perimeter. Video shows a tremendous shot from the outside with the ability to penetrate to the basket from the wing position. Riley is very good at passing the ball off the dribble or off of motion sets. He is very thin and would need to add some strength and weight to contribute more at the next level.

Heatherington is likely to fill the void that will be left by senior Dorrell Foster who will be graduating after next season. Foster has a similar build and game as that of Heatherington.
