UL Team Camp Standouts: Upperclassman

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Michael Thomas 6’2 PG Hamilton Christian 2020 <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This was a bit of a “homecoming” for the PG out of Hamilton Christian, as he is committed to play his college ball at UL. He certainly looked the part of a D1 point guard, as he dictated the game in every facet. He scored when he wanted, but also looked to get teammates involved, and was a lockdown defender when the game necessitated it. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Datayvious Gabriel 6’2 SG St. Martinville 2020 <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This was my first time seeing Gabriel play live in a couple years, and I must say I walked away really impressed. He did a good job shooting the ball both off the dribble and catch and shoot, and looked really good attacking the rim off of closeouts. He also had the biggest highlight of the weekend, throwing down a big dunk on a defender in transition. Gabriel did as good a job as anyone raising their profile after the weekend. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Corey Dunning 6’7 F Lafayette 2020 <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dunning has about as good a story as you are going to find in high school basketball in Louisiana. He came into high school as a 5’10 guard, before hitting a massive growth spurt and winding up 6’7 now, and I’m not totally sure he’s done growing. He does everything you would expect from someone his size, getting rebounds and defending the rim, but where I was really impressed with him was with his feel. He ran an effortless give and go that really impressed me. He was also switched out onto guards on the perimeter and was able to hold his own. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jude Hopewell 6’5 G Holy Savior Menard 2020 <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This was my first time seeing Hopewell live, and I’m shocked that more people aren’t talking about this kid. He is every bit of 6’5, and he shoots the cover off the ball. He has a pretty quick release on his jumper, and deep range extending out to NBA range. He also isn’t just a one trick pony, and can put the ball on the floor a bit. In my opinion, he certainly looked the part of a low major D1 wing, and I think it is only a matter of time before college coaches come to the same conclusion <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Adrian Brown 6’2 SG Hamilton Christian 2020<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Brown is a talented combo guard that really excels at putting the ball in the hoop. I think his biggest skill is his ability to shoot the ball from deep, but he is also more than capable of putting the ball on the deck and creating his shot off the dribble. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Quatarious Jones 6’6 F Delhi 2020 Jones fits the mold of an undersized big that is able to use his motor and effort level to make up for a couple of inches. He is able to gobble up rebounds and swat shots into the stands if you attack the paint too soft. He does a good job of scoring around the rim, and has some craftiness about him when it comes to scoring in the post. <div><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </div>
