The field included shoe company teams from all three major circuits from all over the east coast, as well as some of the top independent teams in the country as well.
Here’s a look at part two of some of the standouts from the Virginia teams in attendance.
Ashton Walker Ashton Walker 6'5" | PG Catholic | 2025 State #172 Nation VA | 6’4” PG | Boo Williams 16U
We have been saying for a while that Walker is one of the best young guards in VA, and the more I watch him I feel more and more confident about my statements like that. The 6’4” lead guard has all the tools that you look for in a lead guard as he has great size that makes him tough to guard, he has fantastic feel and playmaking ability when he gets in the paint and he showed his ability to score it efficiently when he needs to.
Justin Burrough Justin Burrough 6'6" | SF Norfolk Collegiate | 2025 State VA | 6’6” WF | Boo Williams 16U
Burrough is one to keep an eye on moving forward, as he comes from a basketball pedigree with his father being a former UVA and NBA star and he’s starting to show similar traits as he continues to grow and develop. He has the prototypical size as a wing for the next level and is a good athlete that can get up and down and play at and above the rim, he can knock down shots from deep consistency when he’s left open and he has good instincts as a defender and rebounder as well.
Kareem Stagg Kareem Stagg 6'8" | PF IMG | 2025 State #399 Nation FL | 6’8” PF | Boo Williams 16U
Stagg is a prospect that we have as one of the best in VA in the 2025 class, and he showed flashes of that brilliance with some plays that others just can’t make even if they tried. The 6’8” forward showed his ability to move and guard multiple positions, he sealed well and provided a big target with good hands and feet in the post, he finished above the rim with ease and protected the rim defensively and he showed his improvement in the midrange game as well.
Colt Langdon | 6’7” WF | Team Loaded VA 16U
There aren’t many players that are as consistent as Langdon, as the Millrbook (NC) wing has already surpassed the 1,000 point mark in high school and in the past few years on the AAU Circuit he’s been one of the best players at his level you’ll come across. He’s a model of consistency as he scores the ball efficiently and at a high clip, he has the ability to score it a high clip and make tough shots with his skillset and a size on the perimeter and he has a competitive chip as he works to get open and makes big shots when his team needs him to.
Jackson Keith | 6’6” WF | Team Loaded VA 16U
Keith has been a high level prospect at Southern Durham (NC) over the past few years, and he just continues to show a lot of improvement in the right way against top level competition over the past few years on the AAU Circuit. The 6’6” wing is an all-around player who plays with toughness and strength that you love to see from a young player, he can knock down shots consistently from deep and can get to spots off the bounce and he’s more explosive every time we see him play and is well above the rim with ease nowadays.
Sincere Jones Sincere Jones 6'7" | SF Churchland | 2025 State VA | 6’6” WF | Team Loaded VA 16U
Jones has been one of the breakout players in the state so far this year, as the 6’6” wing shows major upside moving forward with his blend of size, athleticism and his high motor that he plays with. The 6’6” wing has the frame to play either basketball or football as he has a strong upper body and long limbs, he has a good skillset on the perimeter as he can make shots and can put it on the deck when he needs to and he is a high level defender and rebounder who plays with great energy and it makes him very productive on both ends of the floor.
