On September 25th the Toledo Top 64 will be ran at Lourdes University. This event is a FREE INVITE-ONLY event to ensure that only the best in the NWO/Toledo area are being put in front of college coaches. This article below will cover one of the eight teams in the event. This article will cover the Dark Blue Team.   [player_tooltip player_id='1052787' first='Cayden' last='Jacoby'] - 2023 - 6'8 F - Pettisville   Jacoby is a very nice modern-day big. Very long wingspan and has a very good ability to stretch the floor. He can play inside and out and it will be very interesting to see how he does when he has to bang down low against true bigs like [player_tooltip player_id='1090158' first='Derek' last='Vorst'], [player_tooltip player_id='867932' first='Jabari' last='Conway'], and others. Then if he can showcase his athleticism against them and make them play all three levels defensively.    Jace Turner - 2024 - 6'6 F - St.Mary's   Turner is someone that could really surprise a lot of people. I saw him play last year in their state tournament win against Huron. He impressed me. He was hustling and all over their place. Used his wingspan very well defensively having multiple good blocks and many rebounds. For a sophomore, he played big in the state tournament and put the ball in the bucket a good amount. Has a good shot on him and never forces it. Someone to keep an eye on in this event.    [player_tooltip player_id='1421139' first='Kade' last='Lentz'] - 2024 - 6'4 W - Elmwood   Lentz is a player that has all the tools. He is a good athlete with wide shoulders and great length. He is a 6'4 wing that can guard multiple positions. Fundamentally sound player. He has a nice shot too. Can't lose him on defense because he will make you pay if you leave him open.    Marquez Frazier - 2023 - 5'8 G - St. John's Jesuit   Frazier is someone that people may stay away from because of his height but this kid can play. He is a gym rat that loves the game. Tough competitor and does whatever is asked of him. Can get into someone's shorts defensively and is very creative on offense on ways to get his shot up. Elevates very high on his shots and uses ball fakes very well.    [player_tooltip player_id='1477060' first='Matt' last='Watkins'] - 2023 - 6'2 PG - Perrysburg   Watkins is someone that will have a lot of people in the gym talking about. He has great size for a point guard. Very strong. Has a tight handle on the ball. High IQ player with a lot of confidence. Leader. Does a really good job of controlling the game. Can get a bucket when needs to as well. Really good at getting to the basket and finishing.    Tylin Patterson - 2025 - 6'1 G - Emmanuel Christian    Patterson is a player that can do it all athletically. He can guard multiple positions and has incredible quickness and speed. Very good-sized body for an underclassman. He is someone that can simply do things on the court most everyone else can't.   Other Players on the team include: Breon Hicks - 2023 - 6'2 G - Cardinal Stritch   Corvell Morgan - 2023 - 6'2 G - Whitmer   More info about this event can be found <a href="https://twitter.com/ToledoTop_64/status/1572715231947751425?s=20&t=6dmqqlLIveGkCuZz4JS5Tg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.
