Prospect Watch: Dominic Hoge
The Florida Phenoms are a solid grassroots program out of Southwest Florida. The team has competed in several HoopSeen events and will be at the Best of the South tournament in Atlanta from July 6th-9th. One of their top players is Dominic Hoge.
2024 Dominic Hoge plays scholastically for Community School of Naples and the Florida Phenoms on the circuit. The 6-foot combo guard helped the Seahawks to a 19-7 record last season. Hoge averaged 7.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 steals and two assists per game while shooting 44 percent from the field. In addition, he scored in double-figures in ten games.
One of Hoge's strengths is his 3-point shooting. In games in which he made at least one attempt, Hoge shot 50 percent or better from deep in all but one outing (seven contests).
Hoge also excelled as a rebounder out of the backcourt. Across 10 outings, he grabbed at least five boards. Hoge collected a season-high 9 rebounds against Venice while dishing out seven assists.
On defense, Hoge was as consistent as any player in the region. He recorded at least three steals in an impressive 14 games. Hoge posted a season-high six steals against Venice and Babcock. Overall, he recorded 52 swipes.
With the Phenoms, Hoge has played better and increased his averages:
14.5 Ppg - (2nd on the team)
48% 3pt - (Leads team)
HoopSeen Breakdown:
Hoge plays with a high IQ, indicated by his team lead in charges taken. He actively communicates on the floor while getting his teammates involved. In a way, Hoge is a second coach on the court. He controls his game pace well and rarely gets sped up. Hoge is a player to watch this summer and into next fall.
