<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Here are a few players that stood out at the #iBallTDB camp…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2120278,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/PH-Earnest-Alexander-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/PH-Earnest-Alexander-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2120278" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1958556' first='Earnest' last='Alexander'], IV.&nbsp;</strong>(6'2/SG/'26/Hoover HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: ayooquad</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @QuadVlone</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Earnest is in a situation that many would not know how to navigate without the right person in their life; fortunately, his dad is helping to steer him in the right direction. Earnest would be on varsity in many programs and contributing across the scoreboard. However, at Hoover, he has some high-profile guards that are a grade above him, who led the Bucs to the state championship crown and are also favored to do it again. He is a workhorse that impacts the game on both ends of the floor and on the glass. He continues to be a player who can get to the cup off the bounce, and he finishes well at the rim, even if there is contact. I have been following Earnest for quite some time, and he shows something different every time I see him. He does not back down from a challenge, and he is a hard-playing dude to monitor.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2120281,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/PH-Rollie-Pinto-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/PH-Rollie-Pinto-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2120281" /></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)</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">X/Twitter: @rolliepinto1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Rollie is a young and rising sophomore that has the ability to provide Piedmont with productivity across the board. He initially caught my eye as he showed that he could stroke the rock from deep. When he wasn't pulling from deep, he was getting to the cup off the bounce creating scoring opportunities for his teammates and himself. He brought a lot of energy and effort to the floor, which rubbed off on his teammates. He was extremely good at changing speeds and keeping defenders off balance. Rollie is a creative talent that is very crafty and can get it done as a multi-level scorer. He has been in my line of sight quite often lately, and he is growing on me, and you will see some movement from him when our next 2026 rankings are dropped.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2120282,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/PH-Dejiah-Coleman-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/PH-Dejiah-Coleman-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2120282" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Dejiah Coleman&nbsp;</strong>(5'11/PG/'26/Dothan HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">I am not sure if anyone benefitted from the stage of the #iBallTDB camp like Dejiah did. He will definitely be on the move when we release the updated 2026 rankings. He showed a good all-around game but was really impressive scoring the rock. He is a physical guard with burst that does a good job using the dribble to create separation. He is a lefty who can score from all levels and was flat-out cooking throughout the day. He is a player that can get anywhere he wants to go off the bounce. Dejiah showed off-the-dribble ingenuity and made a statement with his skillset, scoring ability, and willingness to defend on the other end. He is a player to definitely keep an eye on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2120283,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/PH-Miles-Hannah-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/PH-Miles-Hannah-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2120283" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2291526' first='Miles' last='Hannah']&nbsp;</strong>(6'0/CG/'25/Keith HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: certified_miles23</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">One of the most athletic players at camp was Miles. He is a freak of nature, and he had all in attendance in awe as he attempted to take flight several times, looking to catch a body. His stock is rising, and he is poised to have a sensational junior and senior season. Miles is improving the tool kit and showing off a ton of on-ball juice as a scorer. He is a lethal self-creator with an explosive first step. Miles is an elite athlete with a strong body and knows how to use it. I am excited about his continued development and his increasing skillset. He is coming into his own, and I have noticed that he brings to the floor every time I have seen him lately is a high level of aggressiveness on both ends. Check out his social media, and you will see that the offers are starting to flow in.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2120284,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/PH-Cam-Bell-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/PH-Cam-Bell-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2120284" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1906036' first='Cam' last='Bell']</strong>&nbsp;(6'0/CG/'24/Madison Academy)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: cam.bell06</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @bell_cameron3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Cam's game was one of the more mature of all campers. He played at a different pace, processed things faster, and was just a step quicker than many other campers. He is a listed CG but does an excellent job facilitating and getting teammates involved. I spoke with him before camp, and he said he is about 90% and looks forward to the upcoming season. A 90% healthy Cam is very dangerous, but if he can get back to full strength and handle the load of an entire season, I look forward to seeing how far Madison Academy can go. One thing is for sure: Cam is a reliable PG and will be the orchestrator and the glue guy that keeps Madison Academy in the hunt.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2120285,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/PH-Cooper-Gann-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/PH-Cooper-Gann-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2120285" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1960912' first='Cooper' last='Gann']</strong>&nbsp;(5'10/PG/'26/Spain Park HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: cooper3g</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @CooperGann3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">One thing I have noticed about Cooper's game is that every time I have seen him over the past few months, he has continued to add more to his game. This time he showed me just how lethal he is from behind the arc. This was my first time seeing him stroke the rock like he did. He was highly productive and showed that he must be accounted for, and his defender does not have the luxury to help off of him. He continues to show more confidence every time he steps onto the court. He is a player whose game demands we keep an eye on him. If he stays on this trajectory, he has the potential to surprise many.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
