<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">HoopSeen Bama Jam was loaded with talent, and I found some players I'd like to introduce…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2396037,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/1_1293c5.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/1_1293c5.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2396037" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2294700' first='Justin' last='Holloway'] </strong>(6'6/Wing/'25/3D Elite) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: justinnhollowayy / 3d_elite_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Justinhollowayy / @3dYda</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">I really liked Justin's versatility, as he has good positional size and length. He can play the 1-4 on the offensive end of the floor but spent most of his time at the lead guard spot, balancing scoring and facilitating. He has legitimate PG skills and a very good feel and understanding of the game. His size and versatility make him very difficult to deal with, for when he is facilitating, he can pass over his defender, and when he is looking for his offense, he can shoot over the top of most guards who try to defend him. For the most part, he played under control, rarely rushed action, and made good decisions with the rock in his hands. He needs to bulk up as he eyes a life at the next level and needs to continue to work on creating separation to get his shot off as he will be matched up against players his size or bigger.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2396038,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/PH-Keenan-Limo-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/PH-Keenan-Limo-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2396038" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2472320' first='Keenan' last='Limo']</strong> (6'3/SF/'27/[program_tooltip program_id='2076576' first='Pro' last='One'] UAA) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: keenan_on_top</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Keenan got it going early, and his three-point shooting unlocked other aspects of his game and got him going. He has good positional size and length, which gave him a competitive advantage in the game I saw him in. He is a slasher looking to get to the cup when he wasn't letting it fly from the outside. He is a good finisher at the cup and has a nice touch and body control when scoring in the paint. Keenan showed quickness off the bounce and has an intriguing skillset. His development is one to keep an eye on over the next couple of years. I would like to see him get stronger, as he will need it as he plays against older, more physically mature players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2396039,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/PH-Reid-McBride-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/PH-Reid-McBride-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2396039" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Reid McBride</strong> (6'2/Wing/' 28/Guard Your Man) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: reid.mcbride12 / gaurdyourman</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @jsheffield2026 / @guard_your_man</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Reid is a wing who will enter his freshman year next year, so he is playing up this spring and summer. He was looking to get to the cup and create off the bounce for himself and his teammates. He did a good job setting up his teammates and delivering on-time and on-target passes. Even though he is young, he is a versatile guard who can handle the ball effectively enough to orchestrate the offense. He is a two-way talent and really competed on both ends. His team was overmatched in the game I saw, but he still found ways to create offense, and he never stopped playing hard regardless of the scoreboard. One key area of his game that is an area for growth is his finishing at the rim.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2396041,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/PH-King-Larkin-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/PH-King-Larkin-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2396041" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>King Larkin </strong>(6'4/SF/'25/We Play Basketball Club)<strong> </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Iamkinglarkin5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Iamkinglarkin5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">King is on a squad that is loaded with talent, and he benefits from the attention that others receive. He is an athletic wing who makes winning plays, which are not always scoring plays. He plays very hard on both ends of the floor and also rebounds at a high rate. He has defensive versatility, as he can guard multiple positions. He is a player who does whatever it takes to win, and on the squad that he is on this spring and summer, he is a crucial piece to the team's success, as he does the things that impact the scoring sheet beyond the scoring line.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2396042,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/PH-Andrew-Dudley-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/PH-Andrew-Dudley-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2396042" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2415466' first='Andrew' last='Dudley']</strong> (6'4/SF/'25/Rocket City Suns) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Andrew_____Dudley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @adudley2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Andrew has good positional size, but the calling card when it comes to his game is his ability to shoot the trey ball. He doesn't force action nor look to create his offense, but he is a serious threat when he is locked and loaded behind the arc and waiting for that pass. He will be able to find time on the floor because of his ability to knock down the long ball, but he will need to be more of a willing defender as he can develop into a 3&amp;D player. With his size and build, I would also like to see him be more of a presence on the glass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":2396043,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/PH-Pearce-Solomon-Boone-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/PH-Pearce-Solomon-Boone-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2396043" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Pearce Solomon Boone</strong> (6'5/SF/'26/Bars Elite) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @pearceboone12 / @Barselite_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Pearce is a wing with good positional size and has scoring versatility. He is not the most agile wing, but he does a good job stretching the floor with his ability to knock down the three. He is not limited to being a 3-and-D player because he showed he could put the rock on the floor and attack off the dribble. There should be long-term optimism when it comes to Pearce due to his size, skill, and offensive versatility. He was huge down the stretch in the game I saw against Iron City, and he is the caliber player that a coach can run his offense through. He was active on the glass, and much of that was due to his size. Pearce must focus on his speed and perimeter defense as he continues his maturation process.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
