Davis stepped into the gym and immediately torched the nets with a barrage of three pointers. His shooting ability was impressive, constantly spacing the floor well and making his presence known as a can’t miss guy on the floor. He handled the ball a bit as well, playing within himself and just making the easy read, not the flashiest one. Super confident with the ability to get going very quickly. He should be able to make an big impact at Page this upcoming season.
Little was a dogged defender that made life difficult for his matchups all evening, taking his opponents out of possessions and stretches of the game entirely. He’s got great footwork and lateral quickness which allows him to shadow defenders all over the court. Made an impact on offense when needed, but really stayed within himself and didn’t do too much. Spotted up well, swung the ball and played unselfishly, and played tough. He should be a senior to keep an eye on out west.

Lowe had a good showing yesterday as his team enjoyed having him as a connector and defender. He made solid contributions in all areas, moving the ball and knowing how to space and move without it in his hands. Also got some good paint touches in and was able to hit teammates for good looks. Defensively was able to hold his own and play well as part of a team group, where they got plenty of one and done stops when I watched them. Will be headed to Mallard Creek for his junior year.
One of my favorite guys out at the event across all twelve teams, Henson absolutely feasted in single coverage and as an off the catch shooter. Definitely can spray the ball from behind the arc, but also brings some dynamic isolation scoring to the table. He’s got the ball on a string and can get defenders off balance in order to either get an open jumper or get to the rim. Very offensive minded, but does it efficiently and doesn’t hog the ball, he attacks his spots when needed. He should be a key piece for Clayton with Andrew Grimes Andrew Grimes 6’8″ | PF Clayton | 2025 State #307 Nation NC this year.

One of the lone Virginia attendees at the showcase this weekend, he made an impression on us here as someone solid and well rounded you want on your team. He made the right play consistently, showing off his acumen and IQ in order to get the ball moving and good offense ran for his team. He knocked down a couple shots, made good defensive contributions, and rebounded the ball well for someone not expected to consistently.
Thomas Colbert
Thomas Colbert
Colbert is a guy who’s still developing but could be a pretty good player when all is said and done. He’s got pretty good feel and knows how to get the shots he wants on offense. I liked his effort on the defensive end as well, where he seemed to take pride in his play. Also had a good character to him and seems like he’s a coaches player where he competes and wants to get better no matter the situation.
Thompson was a name I’ve only recently heard about, but he oozes potential and a lot of good skills already developed. He was much more physical than many older guys in attendance, and looked like he took pride in how he defended and rebounded the ball. He was making jumpers from the mid post and from behind the arc, showcasing a lot of offensive versatility. He can be the roller in ball screens too, or even play out of the low post. The options and opportunities are endless for Thompson as he showcased yesterday.
Another new name for me, as Streeter going to be a great forward for Grace Christian when all is said and done. He’s a legitimate floor stretcher, as he knocked down multiple threes and could play off a pick and pop all game long. His size makes him a solid rebounder. As his game is predicated on finesse, he can guard on the perimeter and inside when he’s needed to. I also liked his confidence and attitude on the court, as he seems like he loves the game and enjoys playing all the time. I’ll be excited to monitor him next year.
