<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri continues its spotlight on some grassroots clubs around the state. Today, we take a look at Phenom and their 17u team. Phenom has found their niche with talented players in and around the St. Louis area. It's a rising program with a number of underrated players in this 2025 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jeremy Borum, University City</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Berry Benson, Lutheran North</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Karter Blakemoore, Lutheran North</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1424409' first='Jayden' last='Creighton'], University City</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dylan Humphrey, SLUH</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Calvin Nash, Riverview Gardens</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Adam Lindsay, Clopton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ryon Young, Jennings</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brook Bradley, Jennings</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2575961' first='Naim' last='Campbell'], Cardinal Ritter</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A name that catches my eye on this roster is [player_tooltip player_id='1424409' first='Jayden' last='Creighton']. He's a three year varsity player for University City and adds a presence in the paint. He's 6'6, blocks shots, and has become much more skilled as a scorer. He's always an option on drop-off passes as well. A really solid prospect. Berry Benson was a double digit scorer for Lutheran North this season and can put the ball in the basket. He's a quick downhill guy who creates offense. His high school teammate Karter Blakemoore adds a spark of energy and rebounding. Dylan Humphrey had some solid moments for SLUH this season. He's a smart 5'10 PG who will give this team an added ball handler who can create looks for others. Ryon Young and Brooke Bradley are two prospects out of Jennings that will make this team go. They're perimeter players who are aggressive in their approach. Young is a proven three point shooter that knocks down open looks and has a green light. Bradley is a hustle player that rebounds out of his area and cleans up misses on the offensive glass. This group is going to be scrappy and bring a level of toughness. Lots of culture pieces.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
