Victor Panov - 6’7” (I’ve also seen 6”8” recently) - PF - HS Senior - 2* recruit from DME Academy (Daytona Beach, FL - born in Russia) - It’s hard to find much video of Panov at all. What I did find was mostly on Twitter but a lot of it is just repeated/retweeted stuff saying the same thing over and over. What I can say is Panov is strongly built and all of the articles I could find said he plays a physical game inside and runs the floor well and can step back and hit a 3. In a recent game against Rock Hoops (which, apparently is a good team but I have no idea) Panov scored 25 points (3 threes) to lead DME in the close loss.

I don’t know a ton about him but DME (and anything affiliated with them or buying into the program) is really promoting Panov as a hidden gem that is flying under the radar of D-1 coaches. Obviously, grain of salt and all. But there are some recent articles popping up about him (although most are just regurgitated from one article). This offer from NIU is Panov’s first D-1 offer. It’ll be interesting to see if others start to pop up with the social media push from DME.
