Prep Hoop NorCal was at The Main Event Tournament on May 20-21. There were more than 90 teams playing 15-17u at multiple venues. Our time was spent at Granada HS. Here are some of the standouts from our time there.   [player_tooltip player_id='1389043' first='Jacob' last='Hodge']s 5'11, 2024 Guard Arsenal, Alameda HS   He's a fast guard with some explosiveness to attack the rim hard when he goes. He showed penetration and kick, dump offs, and paint jumpers. He can settle things up top in the half-court. He has the speed to push and pass in transition. He has the speed to keep defenders in front of him.   Kiratraji Sanghera 6'5 2024 Wing, Arsenal, American HS   He's long and slender with good movements. He needs to get stronger, but he does have good fundamentals and can score and rebound in the post. He hit the mid-range jumper, beat the defender off the dribble along the baseline a few times. He'll run the court and finish in transition. He's on the Watch List   [player_tooltip player_id='1739784' first='Kirby' last='Seals'] 6'5 2025 G/F, SF WHPH, Santa Cruz HS   He's a rising prospect in the 2025 class. He played up a few games, competing, and putting up good numbers. He's long, plays hard, and has an improving skill set that allows him to be a scoring threat from different angles. His length and foot speed helps him defend from post to the perimeter. He's good in transition, finishes at the rim, and helps on the boards.   Jasir Smith 6'4 2025, G/W, SF WHPH, Vallejo HS.   He's a two sport athlete (Football, QB) we'll have to see more of him. He's a productive hard playing prospect that can handle the ball in open court, attack the rim strong off the dribble, defend bigger players in the post, and battle for rebounds. He has good lift on his mid-range jumper. He's on the Wright's Watch List.   [player_tooltip player_id='1573086' first='Julian' last='Vaucher'] 6'7 2025, Wing, Infinite Gold 16, Las Lomas HS   We like the size and length of this rising prospect. He has the tools to play at the next level with continued development. He can drop 3's in the corners, along the perimeter, and coming down in transition. He showed he could mix it up bit inside with rebounds for put backs or keeping it and pushing the break. He has the length and ball handling skills to be assertive when he's locked in.   [player_tooltip player_id='1572989' first='Semaj' last='Clark'] 5'8 2025 Guard, SV Soldiers 16, Wilcox HS   Clark is the fast shifty guard that puts defenders on skates at times. He has the quickness, the dribble and all the moves that can get him a bucket. He's a confident player that can drop a 3ptr when the game is on the line. He's a 5'8 guard that can score but still learning the point guard position.   Deshawn Augmon 6'3 2025 G/W, SV Soldiers 16, Prospect HS   He's an athletic player with some tools to work with. He played hard on defense, had good bounce going after rebounds, and he ran the court looking to finish in transition. He has good hops and did well attacking the rim from the baseline. He found cutters with the pass. He's on the Watch List.   Ren Marchetti 5'9 2025 Guard, Infinite gold 16, Campolindo HS   He has good fundamentals, and moves at good speed around the perimeter and in transition. He had good vision and passing. He used a dribble drive into the paint for hard drives, and floaters, he made his free throws. He doesn't waste dribbles, he shot the ball well from behind the arc, dropping corner 3's, and a few at the top. He's on the Watch List.
