Peter Mckey Peter Mckey 6'2" | CG Alief Hastings | 2021 State TX 2021 6’2 Guard Hastings High School
Peter is a complete four level score who can get it done however you want it. Recently he scored 41 of his teams 82, literally half of his teams points! He loves to shoot when he is open from the midrange, and even has the confidence to shoot from deep NBA range. He is great at contorting his body to absorb contact when attacking the rim. I was blown away with his maturity and ease to which the buckets came for him. Look out for him to have a big time season this year!
Jaden Robinson Jaden Robinson 6'5" | PF I. L. T. | 2021 State TX 2021 6’5 Wing International Leader of Texas Arlington
Robinson is an athletic freak who loves to punish his defenders in the paint. He is great at timing his leaps to get tip in dunks. I love his aggressiveness and nonstop energy he possesses, he goes 110% at all times. He is a strong defender who loves getting weak side blocks. Jaden is also a skilled ball handler for his size, he has the ability to run in transition and throw it down or find a cutting teammate in the full court. He possesses all the natural skills you would want from a wing at the next level…
Caden McKenzie 2021 6’1 Guard Texas City High School
Caden is the definition of a dog, the combo guard thrives at getting his shot off at all three levels. I love the energy he plays with he always seems to be increasing his level of competition. He is a strong finisher in the lane for his size, he has absolutely no fear when attacking defenders. His real skill lies in his ability to get his shot off quickly off the dribble. He can score comfortably in all three levels, and loves getting to his midrange pull up and catch and shoot opportunities in the corner and wings. I hope he does not get too discouraged as his teams record is beginning to slide, just keep going out there putting on a show kid- someone is always taking notice.
James Smith 2021 Forward Friendswood High School
James is an intelligent defender who seems to swallow up his opponents in the paint. He has long arms that allow him to rebound well and turn away shots. He displayed real awareness tipping away entry passes into the post and showed his nose for the ball he has getting to multiple rebounds per game. I would like to see him work on his agility and ability to beat his defenders off the dribble.
