Pacific Elite Camp – Top Performers

<p>Pacific University held its first Elite Camp of the year on Friday and a number of prospective recruits were hosted on campus by head coach Justin Lunt and his staff. One thing the Boxers do a little differently than other elite camps is their collegiate players participate in the action, giving the high school players the opportunity to essentially go up against some physically grown men in competition.</p> <p>A handful of in-state players took part in camp and here are the ones that stood out to us the most.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1431332" first="Brennen" last="Neyt"] (2022 Eagle Point)</strong></p> <p>A lanky 6-foot-4 wing, Neyt was able to show that he could hit perimeter shots but was particularly effective creating off the dribble and finishing at the basket, where he easily did so at the rim. He has a rangy frame that can easily put on weight and was overall one of the top players at the event. At the end of the day, he decided to go ahead and give Pacific a verbal commitment.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="861088" first="Graham" last="Eikenberry"] (2023 Lincoln)</strong></p> <p>At 6-foot-10, Eikenberry was the tallest player in camp and he definitely played up to his height. As always, he exhibited great fundamentals such as keeping the ball high on the catch and on the offensive rebound, and he posted up strong and went to his go-to half-hook for buckets down low. He stepped out to hit mid-range jumpers, ran the floor well, and was a force on the boards. Eikenberry earned a roster spot offer from the coaching staff after the camp concluded.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="857364" first="Dimitri" last="Cohen"] (2022 Mountainside)</strong></p> <p>Cohen came into Elite Camp with a roster spot offer and he certainly did not disappoint. The 5-foot-10 guard played like he did all season with Mountainside, with a balance of attacking the basket or knocking down step-back threes, utilizing his college-ready body absorb and finish through contact. Cohen did a nice job in particular with Eikenberry in some two-on-two drills where the pair was practically unstoppable. We caught up with Cohen at the event and will have an updated posted soon.</p> <p><strong>Henry Smith (2023 Jesuit)</strong></p> <p>Smith got into a few varsity games as a junior at Jesuit but from what we saw at elite camp, he’s primed to get more minutes in 2022-23. The lefty was able to spot up and hit open threes, used a crafty dribble to create space and get to the basket, and overall did a nice job handling and passing the basketball. A prototypical well-coached Jesuit player, he’s one to watch next season.</p> <p><strong>Reed Bosshardt (2025 Glencoe)</strong></p> <p>Bosshardt immediately caught our eye with his 6-foot-4 size and length for his age. He was one of the youngest guys at the camp along with Glencoe teammate Josh Ohnstad and both of them held their own. Bosshardt showed a soft touch on his jumper out past three-point range and working with the bigs, wasn’t afraid to bang around with the likes of Eikenberry and the Pacific big guys.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
