Continue ReadingThe final days of the Prep Hoops Exclusive exposed more 2024 prospects to national competition. Guard play was strong but there’s a lot of promise for the playing the forward position. Here’s a list of standouts and top performers.
Texas Tarheels Cobb
Sean Mays – Mays is a well built left handed 6-2 guard. He’s strong and used his bullish frame to drive through opponents for looks at the rim. He scored in transition with a nice move to sidestep a defender and another to convert a steal. Mays seems to be more of a scorer for this Texas Tarheels team but he threw some nifty passes.
Malik Matthews – The 6-3 leadership prep guard had an easy time filling spots as a cutter. Once the defense collapsed, Matthews found gaps that lead to finish around the rim.
Jalen Brown – Brown’s quickness was on display during day 2. He scored in transition and blew by defenders using his hesitation dribble. His relocation three showed good shooting mechanics.
Don Williams Jr. – TACA Storm is getting a quick point guard for the future. Williams Jr. is a solid decision maker, especially in transition. Despite not being the biggest player on the court, he finished through contact and knocked down his trip to the line.
Noah Ricks – Ricks is going to go back to Denton high school with improved touch. On a drive, he knocked down a floater and connected on a deep college range three.
Alabama Celtics
Kameron Weaver – Alabama has a few 2024 to put on your radar and Weaver is adding himself to the discussion. He’s an athletic 6-3 guard that does a lot of his scoring in transition.
Team Buddy Buckets
Trey Tuck – Tuck looks to be a good shooter for a rising sophomore. He stretched the floor with a corner 3.
Gamepoint Elite
Sam Galindo – At 6-8 Galindo is a sleeper in North California. He seems to be a solid shooter off movement already coming off a curl screen for a long two.
Texas Tarheels Blue
Jackson Brimegar – At 6-5 Brimegar used his size to rebound and finish around the rim.
Tyler Murphy – Prestonwood is returning a good three point shooter. Murphy has deep range on his jumper. He showed up in big moments hitting a pull up three to answer back to a run late in the game.
Dax Hovind – Hovind made an impact without needing the ball. On the defensive end he provides energy, blocked a shot, and rebounds. He’ll be playing at Frisco Memorial this year where he’ll be with a talented core of 2022s and2023s to help in the 6-3 guard’s development.
West Texas Blazers
Kolawale Ojo – Go ahead and track this 6-6 big man now. He has a solid frame and runs the floor. Ojo stood out from many of the bigs he matches up against this weekend.
Hunter Standerfer – Standerfer has the rare combination of being one of the bigger players on the team and one of the best passers. He zipped passes around the court, connected on a shot behind the arc, and is fairly athletic.
Pluto
Paul Grier – The 5-10 guard has a nice stroke from 3.
Max Howery – One of the few guys that appeared on this list for both days. Howery gets to the basket. He’s a physical, quick driver that finishes at the rim with regularity.
Tarrant Elite
I’ll preface this by saying you won’t go down Tarrant Elite’s roster without running into an athletic ballplayer with a nice skillset. Their point guard seems to be an advanced passer for a 2024, they have a really athletic wing, and just about everyone has a quality jumper. Heading into day three they’re 3-0. An 8 am win on Sunday will give them their third 4-0 weekend in a row.
Eric Moore – Standing at 5-10 Moore brings that well-rounded game I praised Tarrant Elite for. He’s an on target passer delivering the ball with zip. The rising sophomore is quick, shifty, and knows how to create shots for himself. He’s a knockdown catch and shoot target.
Landon Brown Landon Brown 6'2" | SG Lewisville | 2024 TX – For such a young shooter Brown has near volleyball line range. He’s a solid off guard that has the handle needed to perform some off ball duties. He moves well off the ball finding gaps in the defense where his jump shot can punish opponents.
KD Davis – An athletic 6-4 wing that makes a difference on the defensive end.
Terry Allen – Another guard from this squad that can really knock shots down from the perimeter. He’s a solid 6 foot tall athlete that plays the point during high school ball but played more off the ball in this setting.
Tulsa Infinity
Payden Battle – Though Battle is 6-5 he wants to block everything at the rim. He’s a long, active, athletic forward. His activity drew several fouls.
Troy Moses – Another big physical forward in Tulsa Infinity’s frontcourt. He has wide strong shoulders that help him get great post position. Moses finished well through contact and grabbed several offensive rebounds.
Kenneth Dorsey – A solid 6 foot guard that can hit the three.
Dtm Elite
Tykarian Sandifer – The 6-2 guard has good size for his age. He drew several fouls where he connected on his free throws.
Mario Parker Jr. – Parker Jr. already stands out with 6-1 height but to boot, he finished through heavy contact and hit the and1 free throw.
Team United Texas Yellow
Tristan Hicks – Hicks returned for another day of hot shooting. He knocked down a pair of wing threes that were closer to college territory than high school.
Cooper St. Aubin – Celina HS has a quality defender returning to their ranks. At 5-11, he has the foot speed to stay in front of defenders. He had a finish at the rim and a nice cross-court assist to show a glimpse of his offensive game.
Kade Ramer – Ramer’s 6-6 and athletic build give him a solid base to compete in the lane. He had several finishes around the rim.
