He’s a multi-sport athlete (Football) that carries himself in a confident way on the court. He was the games top point producer. He repeatedly attacked the basket, using his off hand, floaters and other ways to finish against defenders. He showed good hustle on defense getting a chase down to prevent a basket during an important stretch of the game. He had 25pts, 5stls, and 5rebs.

He’s a big body prospect with good fundamental skills for the position. He’s not real fast but moves well, and uses his whole body around the basket, he doesn’t mind mixing it up a bit. He was the games leading rebounder with 16. He boxes-out, has arms extended. Most of his 13pts were around the rim, but he did step out to hit a 3ptr.
At 6’9 he fits what they call the stretch four. He’s shaped up his body, and has improved his shooting form and range. He surprised us with his ability to square up, and knock down three pointers, he had four in this game. He sets up wide inside and is a target you can go to for a bucket. He’s improved. 18pts, 7rebs.

At 6’7 he’s a fairly skilled prospect who contributes in multiple ways for this team. He has a solid jump shot he can hit from the free throw area, and in the corners. He has the size and good footwork to score points in the paint. He had a good step thru move to score on more than one occasion. He rebounds, and has good out let passes, not to often you have two players with double, doubles on the same team in the same game. 18pts, 10rebs.
Standing 6’3 and having point guard skills, he’s a rising prospect in the 2025 class. He has a good understanding of his responsibilities during a game. We saw good handles under pressure, he sees the court, delivers quality passes around the perimeter, and into the post. He used jab step, and cross over when attacking the paint. He’ll finish with paint jumpers, and floaters. He has 3pt range. 18pts, 7rebs, 7asts.

He was a key piece early in the game showing he could handle up top and generate points working from the wings and in transition where he hit a couple of big 3’s coming down court in rhythm and a dribble to keep the game close. He drove into the paint handling the contact, and getting a couple of free throws. He has good foot speed to stay with defenders. 11pts, 3rebs, 2stls, and a block.

He gathered points from different areas on the court. He drove it hard along the baseline for contact drives that resulted in trips to the free throw. He hit the short corner jumpers, 2 feet floaters, and drilled a 3ptr. He’s a good court runner finishing, or following up a miss. 16pts, 3rebs, 4asts, 2stls.
