There are few athletes in the nation more explosive vertically than 2014 Rivals150 forward Dante Buford, a 6-foot-7 combo forward out of Arlington Country Day. On Friday, Buford's team put on an offensive explosion, finishing just one bucket shy of triple digits, and the junior swingman was a big part of that.

Buford went off for 28 points on 9-for-15 shooting, and he added 10 rebounds as his athleticism took over the game from start to finish. Buford finished several dunks over the top of defenders, including one that would be a surefire YouTube sensation if someone has the video.

Buford is sort of a tweener. He's not really a small forward or a power forward, but he's so explosive that he can be efficient in either spot at the next level with the right skill development.

After the game, the three-star forward listed South Carolina, Cincinnati, LSU and Florida International as schools that have recruited him the hardest recently. Buford said he won't make a decision until at least the beginning of his senior year, and he has no favorites.

Same school as JJ and Gaines, correct?

Definitely looks like a physical specimen with crazy athleticism. I'd love to see some clips of him making some low post moves though, other than dunks.

Jacksonville (Fla.) Arlington Country Day 2014 Small Forward Dante Buford is holding a number of offers already and the talented junior is still keeping an open mind with his recruitment. We caught up with him over the weekend to get an update…

Buford holds seven offers from Cincinnati, Florida International, Radford, South Carolina, SMU, UNC-Wilmington, and Wichita State but he’s wide open and enjoying the process.

“I’m open to just wherever I fit in and wherever I feel comfortable at,” Buford told NY2LASPORTS.COM Sunday night.

Buford broke down four of those schools who’ve offered that have stepped to the forefront.

Cincinnati: “I like their style of play. They lock down on defense. I like that. I’m real fond of the coaching staff. They have great facilities. I like the facilities. They want to get me on another visit some time.”

His athleticism is through the roof. This was him last month in the state final 4.
