University of Alabama-Huntsville Elite Camp Immediate Takeaways

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Coach John Shulman and his staff put on their first elite camp of the year, and players from across the southeast gathered to display their talents. Here are my immediate takeaways…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1980182,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Rollie-Pinto-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Rollie-Pinto-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1980182" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2314038' first='Rollie' last='Pinto']</strong>&nbsp;(6'0/PG/'26/Piedmont HS)&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: rolliepinto3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @rolliepinto1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Rollie is a rising sophomore that showed his ability to score from all levels throughout the day. He was intent on getting to the paint off the bounce and making plays once he got two feet in the paint. Being a young guy in the midst of a lot of older guys at camp, Rollie played with a lot of patience and poise. He was impressive with his shot fakes and getting defenders to change their stance, which allowed Rollie to exploit undisciplined defenders. He came into camp with an aggressive mindset, which was evident throughout his play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1980187,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Brady-Donlon-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Brady-Donlon-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1980187" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Brady Donlon&nbsp;</strong>(6'8/PF|C/'24/Asheville School)&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: Brady.donlon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @bradydonlon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Brady was a monster in the paint. His physicality was too much for 95% of the other campers to contend with. He is a stout frontcourt player who bullied his way to the goal throughout the day and finished through any resistance that post defenders could muster. Brady may be slow in some areas, but his reaction times are impressive. He is a solid screen setter and smothers defenders who tries to fight over or thru the screen. Brady is a player that a coach can run his offense through, as he has a good IQ and understanding of how to play the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1980188,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Jordan-Hamilton-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Jordan-Hamilton-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1980188" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jordan Hamilton</strong>&nbsp;(5'9/PG/'23/Moc Valley Prep)&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: uno_j0rdan</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @ohyeah_j0rdqn</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jordan came to camp looking to see if he could get some movement in his recruiting process. He is a crafty ball-handler that pushes the tempo and puts pressure on opposing guards. He is an uptempo guard who was fearless and played with a lot of toughness. Jordan has the handle and quickness to go anywhere he wants on the floor and is a high-end decision-maker when he gets there. He has already graduated but is looking for a way to continue playing at the next level.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1980189,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Tommy-Tisdale-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Tommy-Tisdale-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1980189" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1091945' first='Tommy' last='Tisdale'], III&nbsp;</strong>(6'2/SG/'24/Keith HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: trey23_ball</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @Trey_Ball23</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Tommy is known as a shooter. He can light it up from behind the arc. I had been hearing how he has been showing more of his ability to create off the bounce and handle the rock on the circuit, and he showed at camp what I had been hearing. He was very aggressive off the bounce, getting two feet in the paint and finishing with force in traffic. He showed that the jumper is still the strength of his game as he shot the ball well throughout the day. I still like that he is working to show that he is more than just a shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1980190,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Paul-Dixon-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Paul-Dixon-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1980190" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Paul Dixon</strong>&nbsp;(6'0/CG/'25/Mountain Brook HS)&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: pd_glixy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @Pd_glizzy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Paul is transferring into Mountain Brook for the next school year and will look to bring his talents to a team that sees their dynamic PG graduating. Paul has the skill to join [player_tooltip player_id='1091949' first='Ty' last='Davis'] in the backcourt, and they can be a formidable duo if Paul can make his way onto the team and adjust to the demands of Mountain Brook basketball. He is really good off the bounce, and defenders found it difficult to contain him. He showed playmaking abilities and was productive at both the lead and off-guard positions.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1980191,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Charles-Wesley-Lindsey-III-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Charles-Wesley-Lindsey-III-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1980191" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Charles Wesley Lindsey, III</strong>&nbsp;(6'5/SG/'25/Central Hinds Academy)&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: Only1.wesleylindsey</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @WesleyLindsey07</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Charles is a lengthy wing player that scored well off the bounce throughout the day. He has a versatile offensive game, as he can score inside and out. His length was a factor, as he was able to shoot over smaller defenders. He isn't reckless or selfish with the ball and creates quality looks off the dribble. He was very active on the glass and was a steady presence in the paint on the defensive end of the floor by contesting shots. He is a skilled wing player that has the potential to bud into a player that garners a lot of attention from the next level.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
