CBG Tip-Off 15U Standouts

The CBG Grassroots Tip-Off took place on Saturday at RockIt Sports in Henrico, VA, and it was one of the top events on the east coast with some of the best teams from the DMV, VA and NC in attendance. There were over 30 teams ranging from 17U-15U, with some of the top teams in the area taking place.   We will be spending the next week breaking down the many standouts we saw at the event. If you want to watch the replay, you can see it on the <a href="http://cbglivenetwork.com">CBG Live Network.</a>   Here's a look at some of the many 15U standouts from the VA teams in the event.   [player_tooltip player_id='1782682' first='Latrell' last='Allmond'] | 6'8” PF | Team Loaded VA   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Allmond-Latrell-CBG.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Allmond-Latrell-CBG.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1910717" /></a></figure>   Allmond is trending to be a top 15-20 kid in the country in his class on the conservative end, as he was a big contributor for his John Marshall team that was one of the best in the country and he opened the summer with another impressive showing. He's a man amongst boys at this level as he bullies other guys in the paint to finish, he's an absolute monster on the glass and he is explosive and fearless around the rim as a finisher. He has shown good touch out to the three-point line and will likely continue to improve in that area, and that will make him even more of an impressive prospect.   Kendre Harrison | 6'8” PF | Team Loaded VA   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Harrison-Kendre-CBG.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Harrison-Kendre-CBG.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1910727" /></a></figure>   Speaking of men amongst boys, Harrison, who is a high major recruit in both basketball and football, is the definition of that as he is simply too strong and athletic for most people in the paint. He played with great energy throughout the event as he ran the floor and fought for loose balls, he dominated the glass on both ends of the floor even against 17U teams and he showed great athleticism and power as a finisher. He's walking double-double and the two of them together makes them so tough to match up with.   Jasiah Cannady | 6'0” PG | Team Loaded VA   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Cannady-Jasiah-CBG.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Cannady-Jasiah-CBG.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1910733" /></a></figure>   While the bigs are the highlight of this team, Cannady is no slouch at the PG position and will make you pay if you're going to focus all your attention on the post. The 6'0” guard out of Bishop Walsh (MD) showed his ability to knock down shots from deep with effortless range, he was excellent getting into the paint and making plays for others and he showed good finishing ability at the rim too. Throw in the fact that he's a good on ball defender and competitor too makes him one to keep an eye on moving forward.   Chase Foster | 6'9” PF | Team Loaded VA   Foster is another very impressive big man for this Loaded group, and while he may not be as strong as Allmond and Harrison he has a little more on the perimeter to him that makes him a walking mismatch. The 6'9” Baltimore native has a great frame with long arms that should fill out moving forward, he can bang in the paint and finish over the top and he can step out on the perimeter where he's able to knock down shots and put it on the deck too. His versatility on the offensive and defensive end of the floor makes him very intriguing moving forward.    Mike Jones | 5'11” CG | Team Loaded VA   Jones may be the smallest player on this team, but the South Carolina native has a lot of game and can impact the game in a lot of different ways. The 5'11” guard is dynamic off the bounce and can get downhill and finish over bigger defenders, he is a knock down shooter from deep and he's a very good athlete who is a good defender and can explode to rebound in a way you wouldn't expect him to. He's the heartbeat of this team and his energy and production level brings them to another level when he gets it going.   [player_tooltip player_id='1588134' first='Zyon' last='McGlone'] | 5'10” PG | Team Push   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/McGlove-Zion-rotated.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/McGlove-Zion-rotated.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-1910737" /></a></figure>   McGlone is one of a number of talented young players for King's Fork, and he had a good showing against some very good players on Saturday with this Team Push group. The 5'10” lead guard is lightning quick off the bounce and is able to blow by defenders, he showed the ability to make shots at a high clip from deep and he puts pressure on the defense and makes good reads. He matched up with some of the top guards from VA and NC and not only held his own but shined in doing so.   [player_tooltip player_id='2252312' first='Justin' last='Jones'] | 5'11” CG | Team Push   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Jones-Justin.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Jones-Justin.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1910741" /></a></figure>   Jones is the son of Norfolk State Head Coach Robert Jones, and he had a great freshman year at Atlantic Shores and showed a lot of upside on Saturday. He's likely going to grow quite a bit and when he does his game will go to another level, as he can already shoot the ball at a high clip and get to spots off the bounce to make plays for himself and others. He has a high IQ and good feel on both ends and he plays with a good motor too.   Nate Roberts | 6'5” PF | River City Reign   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Roberts-Nate.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Roberts-Nate.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1910747" /></a></figure>   Roberts is one of a number of talented young players for St. Chris this year, and he had a great showing Saturday as he played within his game and punished oppositions by just playing the right way. The 6'5” big man is stronger than most players his age, he plays with physicality and gives good effort on both ends and he's always moving around the paint and hitting the glass for easy buckets. He was efficient and productive throughout the day and will be one to keep an eye on Richmond.
