Quincy Shootout: Standout Seniors (Out-of-State)
Curtis Wilkerson
<p>The Quincy Shootout is one of the premier mid-season classics in Illinois that takes place annually in the tradition-rich confines of Blue Devil Gym. Top programs stretching from Tennessee all the way to the West Coast bring high end talent and excitement to the packed stands in this two-day hoops extravaganza. This years event was as impressive as ever. There were some impressive teams and tremendous talent on display from outside the region. Here's a list at the top seniors from outside MO/IL that had standout performances at the Quincy Shootout:</p>
<p><strong>6'6 F Darren Tobias | Sheldon (CA)</strong>: impressive forward who stepped up in the absence of Marcus Bagley. Was awarded game MVP. Can board it, skilled inside, attacks strong off the bounce from the baseline</p>
<p><strong>6'7 F <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/duane-posey/">Duane Posey</a> | Memphis East (TN)</strong>: pogo stick forward who is a high-octane athlete that jumps through the gym. Rim-rocker and rebounder. Can knock down the mid-range.</p>
<p><strong>6'1 G Dante Davis | Liberty (NV)</strong>: absolute sharpshooter. Knocked down several deep threes off the bounce and catch and shoot against Tolton. Utilizes the shot-fake and mid-range jumper well. </p>
<p><strong>6'9 F <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/even-brauns/">Even Brauns</a> | Iowa City West (IA)</strong>: Belmont signee, monster on the blocks. If he gets a seal it is an automatic bucket. Soft hands. Dominant on the glass. Runs the floor exceptionally well.</p>
<p><strong>6'7 G Samson Ruzhenstev | Hamilton Heights (TN)</strong>: best prospect in the gym. Walking bucket. Has tremendous body and ball control on the drive and is an acrobatic finisher. Impressive lay-up package. Range beyond the arc. Follows his shot better and more consistently than anyone I have ever seen.</p>
<p><strong>6'7 G <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/andersson-garcia/">Andersson Garcia</a> | Hamilton Heights (TN)</strong>: superb athleticism. Had the two most impressive dunks of the weekend. Plays with toughness and edge. Relentless effort on offensive glass.</p>
<p><strong>6'4 G <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jamal-winston/">Jamal Winston</a> | Davenport West (IA)</strong>: stud. College wing body. He can really shoot it. Smooth release, when it leaves his hand it looks good. Can fill it up on you in a hurry.</p>
