<p>[player_tooltip player_id="766848" first="Takai" last="Emerson-Hardy"] <em>6’6 PF WCE 2022 (#5PHNC 2022)</em> - TKH showed off his high major athleticism this weekend. He’s got a good vertical leap showing the ability to throw down several in the paint dunks. His leaping wasn’t limited to his first jump either, as he displayed a quick 2nd jump when pursuing rebounds. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="951231" first="Alex" last="Crawford"] <em>6’6 SF Coastal Slayers Elite 2021 (#83PHSC 2021)</em> - Crawford put on his personal dunk contest this week. One handers, dunks off two feet and a windmill for good measure.The Alabama, TCU recruit showed off the whole repertoire. </p>
<p>Jaden Brownell <em>6’8 PF Hawks (Gray) 2021 (#7PHU 2021)</em> - Brownell may not fit the mold of a high flyer until you realize he’s doing this in a 6’8 frame. He’s faster than most bigs, has good explosion, and is a nimble and fluid rim runner. Brownell had a nice around the back dunk in one of the early games. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="943444" first="Wayne" last="McKinney"] <em>6’0 PG Coastal Slayers Elite 2021 (#22PHSC 2021)</em> - I’m glad I’m not the only that believes the San Diego commit has a chance to make a ton of money in the NFL. McKinney was the topic of conversation all week, as coaches, and referees alike marveled at his speed power, and explosiveness. </p>
<p>Jordan Tate <em>6’5 SF Friends of Hoop 2022</em> - A nice athlete that can explode off the ground off two feet. Tate had several big-time rebounds and putbacks throughout the weekend. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="951237" first="Jack" last="Kresich"] <em>6’7 PF WCE 2021 (#110PHSC 2021) </em> - Kresich put on a show. You didn’t even have to witness his dunks to be impressed. You could hear them, The aerodynamic forward was marvelous in transition throwing down several big-time dunks. </p>
