Utah Fall Classic: Pool Play Standouts

<p>The Utah Fall Classic is taking place in St George, Utah this weekend. The event features 80 teams ranging from 15U to 17U. In this article, PH takes a look at some of the top pool play standouts. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="747090" first="Caleb" last="Nelson"] <em>6’6 SF Coastal Elite Slayers 2021</em> <em>(#58PHSC 2021)</em> - Nelson has gone from a D2 guy to a low major prospect IMO. Felt like he made everything he threw up this week. Throw in his athletic ability and it’s fair to say he is one of the West Coast's top sleepers. </p> <p>Jared LeBel <em>6’4 SG WCE SD 2022</em> - High academic guy with a shifty handle. LeBel has terrific size for the position, a good wiggle, and the ability to knock down shots off the bounce. </p> <p>Takai Emerson-Hardy<em> 6’6 PF WCE Nor Cal 2022 (#5PHNC 2021)</em> - TKH is at his best when he’s playing 15 feet in, but he’s really good at it. Showed big-time athleticism and a knack for scoring around the rim culminating with this <a href="https://twitter.com/7outzbballclub1/status/1322014706475823105">game-tying layup</a> off an inbounds play. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="755620" first="Jaden" last="Brownell"] 6’8 PF Hawks BB (Gray) 2021 (#7PHU 2021) <em>(featured image)</em> - Brownell was amazing on the day. The multi-skilled forward had a sick around the back dunk in transition. As always he rim protected and showed the ability to score in the paint. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="680217" first="AJ" last="Burgin"] <em>6’4 CG Gamepoint 2021 (#24PHSC 2021)</em> - Burgin hit a pull up in transition that never touched the net, then he threw a dime to a teammate that you couldn’t walk over and hand it to him better. The Idaho St commit showed today why he is one of the most versatile offensive weapons in California. <a href="https://twitter.com/7outzbballclub1/status/1322281046977597441">It was great catching up with him after the game.</a> </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="951231" first="Alex" last="Crawford"]<em> 6’6 SF Coastal Elite Slayers 2021 (#83PHSC 2021)</em> - It was a dunk show for Crawford. The long rangy wing got out in transition and did damage to the rim all day. Size, speed, and athleticism is the answer as to why TCU and Alabama have offered him. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/7outzbballclub1">Follow Prep Hoops</a></p>
