Drew Crippen Drew Crippen 6'4" | SG Mansfield | 2021 State TX
Crippen’s feel for the game makes him one of those players that seem to be in the right place at the right time. At 6-4 he can play any perimeter position but when the rising senior is best with the ball in his hands. A big playmaker that can run the offense and come up with that loose ball or offensive rebound when you need it the most.
Kendall Farr
Farr is a rare pull up jump shooter. He doesn’t take bad shots and the ones he does shoot he has a quick release with good elevation.
Chase Ross Chase Ross 6'3" | SG Cushing Academy | 2021 State TX
Ross proved to be an efficient scorer from three and at the rim this weekend. At 6-4 his length helped him finish around a pair of 6-8 Texas top 100 bigs. His percentage from three hardly sputters as he increases his volume.
Addarin Scott Addarin Scott 6'8" | PF Dallas Carter | 2021 State TX
Scott showed me what he could as a scorer with Carter High School’s playoff run now with his AAU team the defense was prominent. A 6-8 power forward that even on a sprained ankle hustled around the court to erase plays. He patrols the paint with athleticism with the quickness hedge and recovers in pick and roll situations.
Hamilton Hamm Hamilton Hamm 5'9" | 160 lbs | PG David W. Carter | 2021 TX
Hamm looks the part of lead guard thanks to poise and leadership qualities. He’s a strong on ball defender that contains quick guards. As a scorer, he can create opportunities off the dribble.
Dean Balo Dean Balo 6'3" | SG J.J. Pearce | 2023 State TX
On a loaded Drive Nation 15U team, Balo highlighted advancing passing and playmaking potential. He threw amazing no look outlet passes on his way to become an assist leader in the division. 9:24
Jackson Prince Jackson Prince 6'0" | SG Duncanville | 2023 State TX
This rising sophomore is the performer example of the rich getting richer. Prince, the guard out of Duncanville, had a 25 point performance against arguably the best core of perimeter defenders at 15U level. He has a strong handle that helps him get in the paint and an athletic burst that separates him from others when navigating the pick. He also brings a quality jumpshot that connects anywhere outside the paint.
Nazar Mahmoud Nazar Mahmoud 6'3" | SG Rouse | 2023 State #256 Nation TX
Chism is easily one of the most poised guards in the Texas 2023 class. He’s a calming force on offense with the ability to distribute, shoot the three, and take defenders to the hole with a few quick moves. A solid defender that plays with his feet more than his hands.
JaCovey Campbell JaCovey Campbell 5'8" | PG Accelerated Prep | 2024 TX
As one of the most tenacious on ball defenders in the 2023 class. Campbell doubles as a quick guard that can take contact on the way to the hole despite his size. After a hot shooting performance at this opening event lead to his first Division 1 offer.
Jason Thirdkill Jr. Jason Thirdkill Jr. 6'8" | SF iSchool of Lewisville | 2022 State #168 Nation TX
Thirdkill Jr. has great size for either position on the wing. A heady decision maker that can hit the three.
Grant Shaw Grant Shaw 5'10" | PG Prosper Rock Hill | 2021 State TX
Shaw was hard to stop when he was going downhill. He’s quick with the ball in his hands while his frame allows him to absorb contact. He shot the ball well from mid range and the perimeter.
Khaden Bennett Khaden Bennett 6'4" | SG South Grand Prairie | 2022 State TX
Bennett delivers an intriguing combination of size and shooting. Standing around 6-4 the 2022 graduate shoots three at a high level while possessing the ball skills to get to the rim. He competes on the defensive end, draping his matchup on the perimeter.
Nazir Brown Nazir Brown 6'1" | PG Coppell | 2022 State TX
A solid PG that can fill it up when needed. He averaged 20 points a game in high school showing that off in a set made 8 point run. With 3D empire, his AAU team, he runs the offense as a low turnover pure point guard.
Washington wants to win the game at any cost. It’s driven by his feel for the game, something that helped lead his team to a ten point rally late in the game. He’s a shot maker when he pulls he’s confident it’ll fall. Big performances in a playoff game last season highlight a winner’s mentality.
Tylan Reed
A 6-6 with a great frame competes on the boards all three days, but today he flashed ball skills that’ll be something to watch as he develops. He’s doesn’t give in an inch when guarding the post.
