Continue ReadingHunter Hunter Chandler | 2026 TX Mack-Nelms played with scorer’s mindset putting up points with ease simply by taking whatever the defense gives him. Three level scorer that got buckets in every way possible off the dribble, off the catch, at the rim, spotting up, cutting, putbacks, attacking closeouts, and floaters, including mid-range jumpers, three-point shooting, and finishes around the hoop.
Highlights
Pure scorer with an excellent balance between three-pointers and mid-range pull-ups. Tommy Mayberry Tommy Mayberry 6’1″ | SG Wylie East Highschool | 2025 TX did a phenomenal job of getting shots within the flow of the game, often finding open three-pointers in transition. Mayberrry excelled with both abilities to spot-up or shoot off the dribble comfortably with equal efficiency. He’s a fantastic floor spacer who has a real burner from all around the arc. Mayberry was one of the most lethal three-point shooters in the 17U division, showing deep range, a quick release, and a consistent shooting form. Mayberry also had the rare ability to catch fire and score at will in a short span, often completely changing the momentum of the game.
Highlights
Brandon Webber Brandon Webber 6’2″ | CG Anna | 2024 TX stood out as a spectacular scoring guard with a strong stocky build with broad shoulders. Good footwork, changing directions on a dime, punch dribbling on the move, freezing defenders with hesitations and his choppy feet, and does an exceptional job at throwing his weight around, bouncing off defenders and drawing contact. His ability to drive to the basket with strength and finesse made him a constant threat in the paint. His combination of size, ball skill, shooting touch, and footwork made him one of the toughest players of the weekend to guard one-on-one situations, as he could score from anywhere on the court off the dribble.
Highlights
Robert Hinkler Robert Hinkler 6’7″ | C Iona College | 2024 TX ‘s jumper, even when contested, was a thing of beauty and a nightmare for defenders. Threat in the face up game with the release point to fire over the top of anyone. Unblockable release point with the elevation to match. Whether contested or wide open, Hinkler had the ability to knock down shots with remarkable accuracy. His 6-foot-7 height and length made him an elite passing option, particularly when posting up as his teammates were able to put the ball high where only he could get it.
Highlights
Unsigned senior, Jamarian Harper Jamarian Harper 5’9″ | PG Crowley | 2024 TX proved to be a talented dribbler who has the ball on a string, with each dribble, the ball seems to dance effortlessly between their fingertips. Harper was at his best getting downhill or out in transition, using his strength and explosive athletic abilities to finish around the rim and nearly above the rim on most occasions. He truly excelled playing at a high pace keeping the pressure on the defense by looking to attack in fastbreak situations.
