As always, the annual Donofrio Classic was an entertaining all-star level event that produced jaw dropping highlights and insane scoring performances.
Below is a review of the players who won MVP honors from this year’s Donofrio Classic as well as a look at the extensive all-tournament team.
MVP Awards:
Deuce Jones – 6’3” / 2024 / College Achieve (NJ) / Team Rio / Combo Guard: This LaSalle University commit proved once again that he is a walking bucket. Jones poured in 47 points during Team Awesome’s semifinal win. His prolific scoring continued in the title game as Jones posted 38 points in that victory. Jones (20 ppg. in 2023-24) has a gift for getting into the paint off the bonce and then converting through contact. When those drives produce foul calls, Jones calmly steps to the line and knock down the freebies.
Fazl Oshodi Fazl Oshodi 6'3" | CG Friends Central | 2024 State PA – 6’3″ / 2024 / Friends Central / East Coast Power / Combo Guard: “Tricky Faz” had a fantastic senior season as he averaged 14 points per contest and was named as a 1st Team All-FSL selection. Oshodi’s elite scoring and distributing helped push Positive Blue Image to championship game. Across his last two Donofrio Classic games, Oshodi averaged 12 points and 6 assists per night. Last week in the Donofrio Classic tourney he posted 33 points (9 triples). Oshodi remains unsigned and college coaches need to contact this kid immediately.
