His performance throughout the #PHPassionRegionKickOff helped his stock. He showed his ability to play multiple positions on both ends of the court. His length caused a lot of problems on defense, and he suffocated smaller guards at times. What caught my eye even more, was Joe's time at the PG spot. <blockquote> He played the PG spot with a lot of poise and distributed the rock around, keeping everyone satisfied. </blockquote> When his opportunity to score presented itself, he took advantage of the moment. Someone looking for a big, physical, and versatile guard will find a hidden gem in Joe.   Offers: Currently, he holds no offers.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/PH-Thomas-Faucett.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1426168 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/PH-Thomas-Faucett-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Thomas Faucett (6'0/PG/2023)   Team: North Florida United Instagram: thomasf_2023 Twitter: @Thomas231104   What caught my eye about Thomas was real simple. He played out of triple threat. Most of his touches in the half-court began with Thomas getting squared up into triple threat. Out of it, he utilized his jabs and head fakes to keep defenders off balance. He is a player that can play in structure or play when the game is fast-paced up and down the court. <blockquote> He showed that he can score the rock at all levels, and he is a steady source of production on the offensive end of the floor. </blockquote> He has good game instincts and was very comfortable and confident on the perimeter in a weekend that put on view real good guard play.   Offers: Currently, he holds no offers.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/PH-Blake-Gascoigne.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1426169 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/PH-Blake-Gascoigne-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Blake Gascoigne (5'11/PG/2023)   Team: PSL Heat Instagram: Whynotblake_ Twitter: @Whynotblake   Blake is a multi-dimensional scorer that even had his opponents saying he needs to be a top performer. He competed relentlessly every time I saw him throughout the weekend. He is a gamer that has a lot of heart and will do what is needed of him in pursuit of winning. He has a balanced floor game, and his repertoire of scoring tools is immense. <blockquote> When he got going, it was tough to stop him, as he was getting all the way to the rim. </blockquote> While at the same time, he showed off a perimeter jumper that was just as productive as his attacks off the bounce. He is a very passionate player that brings it every time he steps onto the court.   Offers: Currently, he holds no offers.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/PH-Jervens-St.-Louis.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1426170 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/PH-Jervens-St.-Louis-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Jervens St Louis (6'3/Forward/2023)   Team: Florida Elite SW Instagram: Jrvns_3 Twitter: @Jrvns_   Jervens is a stout forward that plays a physical style of ball. He has a nice frame that will be able to carry more muscle as he prepares for his senior campaign. He is agile and moves well laterally. His attacks off the bounce are aggressive, and he finishes well at and above the rim. <blockquote> He sets screens well and showed his ability to create space after the usage of the screen by either rolling hard or popping to space the floor. </blockquote> He is a solid player that brings a lot of grit on the boards and the defensive end of the court.   Offers: Currently, he holds no offers.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/PH-Amari-Willis.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1426179 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/PH-Amari-Willis-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Amari Willis (6'5/PG/2022)   Team: Metro Elite Instagram: amariodas Twitter: @amawillis   Amari was one of the high risers during the weekend. His athleticism was on full display as he skied through the air, grabbing boards and finishing with emphatic dunks. He is listed as a PG but was at his best on the wing, slashing through defenses and finishing strong at the cup. <blockquote> Amari was one of the 2022 kids looking to raise his stock in hopes of getting on someone's radar from the next level. </blockquote> He has a lot of potential; let's see if his play can gain the attention of some eyes from the next level. He has the athleticism and enough tools to impact some program at the collegiate level.   Offers: Currently, he holds no offers.   Stay tuned as more is coming from #PHPassionRegionKickOff
