Koa Peat, the No. 7 prospect in the Class of 2025, is yet to decide on his college. The Perry High School forward seemed to be impressed by Class of 2026 recruit Brandon McCoy after he published a highlight reel on his Instagram page on Monday.
McCoy, who is ranked at the second spot nationally in his class, showcased his footwork, shooting and dunking ability in the reel.
"still flexin, still steppin," McCoy captioned the post.
Peat commented on the highlight reel with a two-word reaction.
"Yeah beezy," Peat commented.
