<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The University of Alabama-Huntsville Elite Camp had many standouts participating.

He was the most vocal player in camp. He was in drop cover off ball-screens and was barking out the defensive strategy to his teammates. He has a good understanding and feel for playing the backline of the defense. Now I know you see the 6'10 height, and truthfully, not many players had the size to contend with Jack. He physically was just too imposing. He was a bruiser on the glass and clogged up the middle on defense. He is a solid screen setter and literally buried defenders in the screen. He has a nice touch in the paint and around the rim. I look forward to seeing him compete against players that can match his size and give a more detailed eval of his game. To his credit, he dominated who stepped onto the court and was matched up against him.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1982445,"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-Connor-Loy-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Connor-Loy-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982445" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Connor Loy</strong>&nbsp;(6'0/CG/'25/Adair County HS)&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: Connor_loy14</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @Connorloy14</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Connor is a guard that excelled in his middle game. He is a skilled guard with a good feel and understanding of the game. He was very good as the ball-handler in the ball-screen action. He was a threat coming off the screen as he was in complete control of what to do with the rock, pending how the defense played. He is a very patient player who never gets rushed and plays at his pace. He is a playmaker that is hard to contain and made the game easy for everyone on the court with him.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1982446,"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-CaDion-Harris-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-CaDion-Harris-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982446" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>CaDion Harris</strong>&nbsp;(6'0/CG/'24/East Ridge HS)&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @cadion_harris</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">CaDion was one of the toughest iso players in camp. He was one of few that could create his own shot off the bounce. He showed his ability to facilitate and added scoring off the bounce when opportunities presented themselves. From my vantage point, CaDion settled a little too much and tried to orchestrate more when he had defenders in front of him that he could easily get by. He could have put pressure on the defense every time he touched the rock, as he was that creative off the bounce. Even though I think he settled a little, he showed that he is an unselfish player who lets the game come to him.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1982447,"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-Andre-McClellan-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Andre-McClellan-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982447" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Andre McClellan</strong>&nbsp;(6'0/CG/'24/Columbia Academy)&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: A.nd.r3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @Dreman2005</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Andre is a skilled lead guard, even though he is listed as a CG. He has a brilliant floor game and a brilliant mind for the game. He is a high-end decision-maker in tight spaces and has all the skills needed for the PG position. He has vision, good passing skills, controls the pace, is a good finisher at the rim, and thrives in getting his teammates involved. I will say this about Andre, he is the epitome of a combo guard, fully able to play either an on-ball or off-ball role.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1982448,"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-Griffin-Daniel-Cooper-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Griffin-Daniel-Cooper-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982448" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Griffin Daniel Cooper</strong>&nbsp;(6'8/PF|C/'24/Columbia Academy)&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: griffincooper21</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The first player that caught my eye was Griffin, and obviously, he caught the eye of many of the coaches as they were also talking about Griffin. He was probably the best player at camp and showed why on both ends of the floor. He can attack the rim and finish with authority and showed some playmaking abilities. He provides essential size in the frontcourt, which allows him to punish smaller defenders around the rim throughout camp. He also provides valuable scoring off the bounce out of the face-up off the low block. He was aggressive on the boards and defensively challenged shots in the paint and at the rim. His stock went up with his play, and he should be getting more eyes on him as he goes throughout the month of July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1982449,"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-David-Stone-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-David-Stone-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982449" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2257625' first='David' last='Stone']&nbsp;</strong>(F/'24)&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">David is a frontcourt player with length that showed a knack for scoring around the rim. What was really eye-catching about David was his exceptional footwork. Out of everyone in the camp, I believe his footwork was among the best, if not the best. He played with his back to the basket, and as good as he was scoring off the low block, he was just as good passing out of the post to open shooters. David has a wide array of skills that makes him a valuable player and an underrated asset.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
