After an impressive run this week at the EYBL session 3, Benjamin Berrouet has picked up an offer from Miami.

Berrouet announced the news on his Instagram on Monday afternoon. While competing in Missouri over the last few days against some of the best high school talents in the country, the 6-foot-8 forward was named to the EYBL Elite 100 Camp. The four-star prospect was able to showcase his talents in front of Jai Lucas and Miami this weekend — and he clearly did enough to prove he's worthy of playing for the Hurricanes.

Considered the No. 46 overall recruit from the 2028 class, Berrouet attends the same high school, Dynamic Prep (TX) as recruits like Austin Goosby, Dakari Spear, Marcus Spears Jr, and Trae Nunn. Berrouet becomes the 4th rising high school junior to pick up a scholarship offer from the Hurricanes.

Across his games played at the EYBL 16u division, Berrouet averaged 25.9 points per game, and the kid is only 15 years old. His best outing came on Saturday when he dropped 39 points.

Berrouet already has offers from schools like Houston, LSU, Texas, Arizona State, Georgia Tech, Iowa, NC State, Texas Tech, and SMU is firmly in the mix.



This would be a very nice pick up for Jai Lucas and Miami, what do you think?

Berrouet powered the country to its first FIBA U16 EuroBasket title, producing 22 points and 13 rebounds in the 75–69 victory over France in the Final. He recorded a double-double in all seven games and claimed MVP honors after averaging 23.6 points, 15.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists.

His tournament efficiency rating of 36.3 was the highest in competition history, surpassing the previous record established by Ricky Rubio in 2006
 
His mother, Lāsma Jēkabsone, played NCAA Division I basketball at Florida International University and represented Latvia at youth level, winning bronze at the 2005 U20 European Championship. His father, Richard Berrouet, played American football at Pittsburg State before earning a master’s degree from Texas A&M.

The two met in Miami, married in 2006 and eventually settled in Texas, where Benjamin and his younger brother were raised. Both sons learned Latvian and remained connected to their mother’s family and culture.
