CoBL Exposure Camp: 2022 & 2023 Standouts

<p>     Sunday it was the upperclassmen’s turn to get some run at the City of Basketball Love camp and the cream rose to the top. What made this setting special was that, for a region known for producing 5’11-6’3 guards, majority of the standouts were 6’5 or taller. With so many quality hoopers at the camp, I named my MVP and highlighted a skill or two of several other standouts.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1128376" first="Matija" last="Radunovic"] | 6’7 F | Roman Catholic 2022</p> <p>Sunday’s performance felt like a coming out party for Radunovic and earned my personal camp MVP. Matija plays on an already talented Roman Catholic team (Brown, Farmer &amp; Skillings), but he showed that he’s on par with those guys too. A wing-forward who was asked to play the 5 at the camp, Matija made everything look effortless - cross court passes, pull-up threes, attacking the basket, pushing the ball in transition, etc. And he brought a cerebral-yet-gritty mindset to match his skill. Radunovic shouldn’t be under the radar for much longer.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1116044" first="JP" last="Baron"] | 6’2 G | Pope John Paul II 2022</p> <p>This young man brought it all day. JP led his team with scoring, as well as effort and energy. The passion he played with, on top of the threes he knocked down and his defense, was the glue that made his squad the best one of the camp. </p> <p>Brady Cole | 6’7 W | Phelps School 2022</p> <p>Brady somewhat played out of position but it only showed his versatility. He comfortably matched up against opposing bigs, switched on to guards, and protected the rim. On offense, the Phelps wing showed off his jumper and handled the rock a little bit.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1122123" first="Michael" last="Farley"] | 6’7 F/C | Central Bucks South 2022</p> <p>With his lean and muscular frame and fluid movement, Farley turned up at the camp. He displayed the upside to be a 4 or 5 in college based on his ability to rim-run and stretch the floor. Michael was impressive, to say the least.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1200787" first="Denzel" last="Figueroa"] | 6’5 F | Engineering &amp; Science 2022</p> <p>"Zell" did his thing from the mid-post and and down on the block, using his footwork to get good looks. Defensively, he grabbed boards, provided help and altered shots.</p> <p>Earle Greer Jr | 6’6 W | Rocktop Academy 2022</p> <p>With or without his jumper (which is normally lethal), EJ moved extremely well without the ball - finding open windows in the defense and cutting. His length bothered offenses and he got his hands into lanes to deflect passes.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1178095" first="Jacen" last="Holloway"] | 6’3 F | Devon Prep 2023 </p> <p>Using his tree trunks for legs, Holloway posted up defenders his size and bigger. His powerful lower body also helped him push slashers off their spots at the point of attack.</p> <p>Gabe Massenburg | 6’6 F/C | Phoenixville 2022</p> <p>The big from Phoenixville was a fire hydrant on defense and a tank with some bounce on offense. His sturdy build made it hard for teams to score in the paint. Gabe made sure to let folks know he can cash in open jumpers too.</p> <p>Jordon Poole | 5’10 G | Burlington Twp (NJ) 2023</p> <p>The NJ native made sure to standout in a sea of small guards. Jordan’s acceleration was remarkable. Once he got in traffic, he converted his looks using scoop layups and other crafty moves.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1202390" first="Gavin" last="Schauder"] | 6’8 F | Spring-Ford 2022</p> <p>Gavin was everywhere. He stretched the floor and slashed to the rim. He went to work on the block with traditional post moves. And of course, the Pioneer conference forward wreaked havoc on the glass.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Honorable Mention:</span></p> <p>Zaki Alston | 6’2 G | Sankofa 2023</p> <p>Omari Banks | 6’3 G | Phelps 2022</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1202391" first="Allen" last="Cieslak"] | 6’0 G| Devon Prep 2022</p> <p>Andrew Fagans | 6’4 G | Palumbo 2022</p> <p>Jalen Flowers | 6’1 G | Father Judge 2022</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1178097" first="Hanif" last="Goins"] | 6’2 G | Germantown Friends 2022</p> <p>Jermai Herring | 6’4 W | St. Elizabeth’s (DE) 2023</p> <p>Paul King | 6’3 G | Father Judge 2023</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="991320" first="Saahir" last="Lee"] | 5’10 G | Penncrest 2022</p> <p>Zavier Mayo | 6’5 W | Phoenixville 2022</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1116055" first="Lucas" last="Orchard"] | 6’4 F | Devon Prep 2023</p> <p>Mazen Sayed | 6’1 G | Chichester 2023</p> <p>Chase Scheuren | 6’8 C | Souderton Area 2022</p> <p>Adam Shaak | 6’2 F | Upper Moreland 2022</p> <p>Jaden Workman | 6’1 G | Pope John Paul II 2022</p> <p>Eric Zhang | 6’3 G | Dulaney 2023</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For continued coverage in the area, check out my other articles and follow me on twitter @CGraham_Sports</p>
