Not necessarily knowing what to expect I was able to catch some very solid prospects in the 15u pool from around the state and some impressive out of state prospects as well. Note I did not catch EVERY team but I did catch a majority of the teams and here is my top prospects for All-Tournament that separated themselves all weekend. Also if rosters are not submitted it’s also hard to find kids.
2027 Malachi Chatman was just plain good all weekend from Friday to Sunday. Not only dud he drop multiple 20 point performances but he played up in the 17u bracket as well and looked just as polished. Big guard, he was super smooth with his handle in traffic. Displayed deep range and my favorite part was his pull up jumper that seemed to be automatic. He also had several steals and deflections and overall had one of the best IQ’s I’ve seen in a while in the 2027 group leading his team. Malachi is a serious prospect out of the Oklahoma area and should be on everyone’s radar heading into his sophomore season.
Highlights
6’3 2027 Riley Sneller was my overall top graded prospect from the 15u division. He’s just “Different” as the kids like to say these days. Solid frame and high IQ on the offensive end he doesn’t use to much speed or athleticism but patients and IQ to dominate the game like a game off chess. Luka would be his direct comparison and already averaging 19 points, 10 boards and 5 rebounds as a freshman things could get scary moving forward. In addition he was also a defensive pest on the perimeter and went after EVERY loose ball and rebound. I’ll go ahead and put my bid in for him to finish as one of the top 10 2027 players in the state when it’s all said and done.

2027 Christain Reeves from Arkansas was the man this weekend. He mostly played near the midrange and post area but his game will stretch as he moves forward. He showed a variety of moves from the spin to the step back to score in many ways. Tough defender, blocked several shots using his athletic abilities and grabbed 10 plus rebounds to go along with 20+ points. He’s a GAME CHANGER and proved to be on of the best prospects I came across this weekend.
2027 Guard Dylan Rodgers was ELITE on and off ball in this weekend. Only 5’9 he makes up for his size with a mature skill set that makes him the perfect guard in any gameplan. He displayed some pro footwork knowing down midrange range shots, 3 pointers and and super quick attacking the basket. He also gets rebounds, drops dimes and just has that it factor you can’t teach. Defensively he was everywhere on loose balls as well creating transition and showing over and over he can make the right play. He finished with 20 and would be my first pick to operate my offense.
Highlights
2027 PG Marcus Lee was just plain impressive this weekend in elite matchup between undefeated teams. His patients and unselfishness was the first thing that stood out to me. He distributed the ball well and was the backbone for TTG on both sides of the ball. As the game got close towards the end he absolutely took over with a variety of tough layups in traffic over much bigger defenders. He pressures the ball well frustrating the other teams PG. He sealed the game with a rebound and and 1 putback in overtime as well. Marcus is a gamer and should be one of the kids we look at when rankings talk pop up.
