Eli Farmer
Siena
Scout Report
Archbishop Spalding has quietly become a pipeline program, and their latest commitment to Siena proves the point.
Background
Eli Farmer comes out of the competitive Baltimore Catholic league where Archbishop Spalding has built a reputation for developing college-ready talent. Playing alongside highly-ranked underclassmen Braxton Bogard and Nash Avery, he's been part of a program that emphasizes fundamentals and team basketball. The Maryland native has grown up in a basketball-rich environment that has prepared him well for the next level.
Playing Style
Farmer plays with the kind of basketball IQ you expect from a Spalding product. He understands spacing and makes the right read consistently in half-court sets. His feel for the game allows him to impact winning without needing to dominate the ball or put up gaudy numbers. The main question mark is his athletic ceiling and whether he can create separation against higher-level defenders. He'll need to continue developing his first step and overall explosiveness to maximize his potential at the D1 level.
Recruitment
With offers from Maryland, St. John's, Iowa, and Siena, Farmer had solid mid-major to low-major options on the table. His commitment to Siena gives him a chance to contribute early in a program looking to build depth and experience. The Saints got a player who should fit their system well and provide steady production over four years.
