Holland, a 6-8, 195-pound power forward, has committed to the University of Texas, where he says he plans to prove he's an NBA lottery pick.
Duncanville coach Neiman Ford calls Holland the most accomplished high school basketball player in the history of Texas basketball.High School senior Ron Holland was in the spotlight on Wednesday when he was honored for his selection to the McDonald's High School All-American team.
"It feels like my name is in the conversation with those greats being that I've gotten invited to this game," said Holland Wednesday.The 6-8, 195-pound power forward was ranked as the best player in the state, and the fifth-best player in the country by scouts at ESPN. This isn't the story of some Day 1 Fischer-Price dream. Holland's chase for GOAT hoop status is actually relatively new.
Even after that it wasn't a superstar arrival when he got to Duncanville High School where at first Ron was literally forbidden from shooting threes."When Ron first came as a freshman we wouldn't let him shoot outside the free throw line," Ford remembered.
