Huff is a shifty guard who can really get the ball to the basket. Dre looks to make plays for himself along for his teammates. Huff was able to knockdown some perimeter jumpers when he wasn’t being disruptive on the defensive end of the floor at times. Huff made several crisp passes today to set-up his teammates for good looks. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/EE98FBD1-43AC-4DFB-ADEC-789260C6E092.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1246571" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/EE98FBD1-43AC-4DFB-ADEC-789260C6E092-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1096258" first="Cayman" last="Collins"] - Chapin HS - Team USC Pooler </strong></p> <p>Collins saw good minutes this past season for Head Coach David Ross and the Skyhawks. Collins plays aggressive for his size and really looks to utilize the floater in the jumper. Collins is always around the ball and in position to make a play for his team. Cayman really likes to get the ball going from side to side. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1160755" first="Russ" last="White"] - Cardinal Newman - Team USC Pooler</strong></p> <p>White a left-handed guard will have to look to be more of a leader this coming season for the Cardinals with the graduation of [player_tooltip player_id="536316" first="Joshua" last="Beadle"] (Clemson). Russ has good size already in the back court and was the primary ball-handler for most of the day today for Team USC. White has good court awareness and the ability to post up smaller guards. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/E4B7B35E-E1EC-451C-8611-EEC40626D8DB.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1246558" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/E4B7B35E-E1EC-451C-8611-EEC40626D8DB-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1112902" first="Ladontae" last="Felton"] - Aiken HS - AC Elite </strong></p> <p>Felton has looked like he grown some in the past few months already. Felton is new name to start watching for the Fighting Green Hornets. Ladontae was able to slash to the cup today or knockdown a perimeter jumper. Felton playing up a age group didn't looked fazed at all with his play. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/806598BD-69FD-4DB8-8576-58111650A63C.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1246589" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/806598BD-69FD-4DB8-8576-58111650A63C-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1228603" first="Rodney" last="Lesane"] - South Florence HS - Carolina Bad Boyz </strong></p> <p>Lesane is a blue collar kid playing up age group for the Florence area based team.
