While Justin Powell was making a name for himself, Dallas Roberts lurked in his shadow.
Before committing to Auburn University ahead of the 2020-21 season and recently deciding to transfer away from the Tigers, Powell was a frontrunner to win 2020 Mr. Kentucky Basketball at North Oldham High School. Unfortunately, an injury halfway through his senior year of high school cut the rest of his final season short. Despite that, he had already established himself as a high-level recruit and ended up signing with Auburn as a top-rated prospect. Both 247 Sports and Rivals ranked him as a three-star.
