Julian Crespo
Julian Crespo
The 6-0 sophomore guard impacted the game in a variety of ways on both ends of the floor. On the offensive end, Crespo brought a smooth touch to his shot and can stroke it from beyond the arc as well. He also plays with a high motor and is a strong rebounder for his size. Crespo finished with 25 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in a win against the Wellington Wolves.
The 5-10 guard has huge upside as he is gearing up for his senior season as he averaged 13 points and 10 assists per game this weekend for AOI Hoops. His decision making has been top notch all spring long and is starting to carve a name out for himself. Folds played with a high IQ all weekend long and continues to bring consistency every time he steps out on the floor.
The 6-3 junior guard continues to impress this spring as his decision making off the dribble has been top notch. He has shined at making the extra pass to an open teammate. Cason is one of the top premiere point guards in the state as we gear into the summer where he currently holds near 20 D-1 offers.
Highlights
The 6-6 guard has taken a huge leap this spring as he is getting back to being a fully healthy wing who can impact the game in a variety of ways. McDole finished with 22 points, including 3 three-pointers in a narrow win over Team Speights this morning. McDole also has good bounce and length to play multiple positions when he is out on the floor. He currently holds an offer from Robert Morris University, but as we gear into the summer months his offer list will continue to grow.
The 6-6 junior wing continues to have strong outings every time he steps onto the court this spring. He scored on all three levels whether it was in the paint, mid-range or occasionally shoot it from beyond the arc. Taylor uses a ton of creativity when he has the basketball in his hands. Taylor will continue to have huge upside as he is currently awaiting for that elusive first offer which could come this summer.
The 6-4 forward is a slasher and finisher when it comes to playing in front of the rim. Brown, a recent University of Florida commit plays downhill and was unafraid to finish with contact throughout the weekend for 1 Family Hoops. Brown also has a smooth touch and consistent shot when it comes to shooting from beyond the arc. His ability to defend multiple positions on the floor has also taken a rise to a new level.
