<p>This month’s Fall College Showcase featured about 90 individual players, who came from as far as Las Vegas, in the Gamepoint Facility in San Marcos. </p>
<p>Co-hosted by Coastal Elite, Gamepoint and the Cali Rebels travel basketball organizations, many of the players were affiliated with those programs, while some came for additional exposure. </p>
<p>At the end of the event, about 60 kids were selected for the Top 20, 40 and 60 games. </p>
<p>We started our coverage with a first, second and third team. We move along to other standouts, including a report on the top long-distance shooters (not listed in other reports).</p>
<h2>Fall College Showcase: Top Shooters </h2>
<h3>Ben Camargo, 6-0 2022 G, Oceanside</h3>
<p>Camargo shoots a bit of a knuckleball, but if his feet are set, he’s one of the best shooters in the gym. He hit seven threes in a Top 40 game that saw both teams shoot the ball at a ridiculous clip. </p>
<h3>Zach Ibbetson,6-2 2022 G, Norco</h3>
<p>Ibbetson is a chiseled, athletic combo guard who can do damage off the bounce as well, but his ability to catch and shoot from deep (really high-arching shot), earned him a birth in the all star games. </p>

<h3>Elias Flaim, 5-9 2025 G, Mission Hills</h3>
<p>He lived up to his last name, because he was a veritable "flame thrower" all day. A quick release and unafraid to take big shots, Flaim was one of the event’s surprises. </p>
<h3>[player_tooltip player_id="748736" first="Robert" last="Aguirre"]. 6-1 2022 G, Huntington Beach Marina</h3>
<p>Aguirre can knock down shots both off the catch, and from deep over ball screens. He’s improving his handle and can get to spots on the midrange with more ease than earlier in his career. </p>
<h3>Cameron Wood, 6-3 2023 SG, Rancho Bernardo</h3>
<p>A bigger-bodied guard who can fill it up when hot, Wood did his best to keep his showcase team in games. He shoots it most accurately from either wing, and has a very smooth release. </p>
<h3>[player_tooltip player_id="994963" first="Vincent" last="Ricchuiti"], 6-6 2023 W, St. Augustine</h3>
<p>Of the bigger shooters on hand, Ricchuiti had the hottest hand during his two camp games. He has good size and length, and shoots and scores the ball with a ton of confidence. </p>
