Continue ReadingOur sole 15u standout, Rosser showed a real nice perimeter skillset for a 6’8 forward vs a good Melo 15u group. Long arms, good leaper, can put the ball on the floor–Rosser has the intangibles and skillset of the modern wing that coaches are looking for at the next levels. The shooting is what will separate him as a prospect, though. With fluid form, quick gather, and a very high release point– Rosser can get off his shot in a hurry and let’s it go with confidence. Definitely expect his name to shoot up rankings boards this season as scouts see the skillset combined with a 5-inch growth spurt in the past year.
Highlights
The #1 player in our 2026 rankings had a monster performance for TTO in a win over a very connected All-Ohio group. Samuels finished with 27p 5r 1a 1s 1b off of 65% shooting, going on a personal 18-0 run shooting 7/7 from the floor midway through the 2Q. Samuels was in passing lanes and got to the rim a bit more in this contest than he normally does, mixing in a barrage of 3 point makes that built up a lead that sustained TTO to the finish line
Kendrick matched Samuels on the other side of the ball, finishing with 27p 4r 4a 1s off of 60% shooting from the floor. Kendrick knocked down perimeter shots in the 1H that opened up catch and rip opportunities to blow past his matchup and get to the rim in the 2H. Kendrick’s ability to vacillate between scoring and facilitating was key to his team’s late push against TTO, using his scoring gravity to draw two and find a teammate for an open look.
Cannady was very impressive in a win for Durant over a good The Family group from Detroit. Finishing with 22p 4a 2r in the win off 57% shooting, I like the way he plays under Coach Johnson with this Durant group. He gets to the rim a bit more often, finishing his looks around the rim with an improved bag of finishing moves. He’s also taking better shots, moving the ball before getting it back and catching with rhythm to let it fly from beyond the arc– limiting the 3 point looks off the dribble. Defensively, he’s forcing dribble pickups and fighting to keep his man in front– competing at both ends at a high level.
Ryans was playing exceptionally hard at both ends of the floor throughout the entire contest, finishing with 18p 8r 2a. His motor, outside shooting, and offensive rebounding led to a late push by The Family that cut a double digit lead down to as little as 2 at the end of the game. A very physical downhill driver, Ryans was assertive and decisive in his drives to the basket while finishing over an assortment of different defenders at the rim. With good positional size, great feel, athleticism, and perimeter ball skills– this is definitely a prospect worth keeping an eye on.
Meeks got hot in the 2Q from beyond the arc and didn’t let up, contributing 24p 5a 2r off of a sizzling 54% shooting from the field. Meeks got to the line a few times, forcing hard contests before drawing the contact to eventually shoot 5 FTs in the 2Q that he knocked down to get himself in a good rhythm that carried over to his perimeter shooting. Meeks mixed in several drives to the paint and finished at the rim around several high-level athletes to score at the rim for Durant. A microwave scorer that can get going in a hurry, Meeks possesses the momentum-shifting offense that leads to Ws at the next level
Sigmon’s ability to play the right way despite the time and score really shined throughout his game vs Durant, turning in a very well-rounded 10p 6a 5s 4r performance. His ability to get in passing lanes before running the break and finding the best possible shot for his team led to a late push that almost brought his team all the way back from 14-down. Sigmon has a shiftiness to his game and throws off his defender’s timing with a change of pace that is hard to anticipate. The burst to attack the outside shoulder and get paint touches will win games for his team at the next level.
On a weekend that saw two of TTO’s guards go down, Brown had to step up in a big way. Scoring 18 against a good Indy Heat team while showing different parts of his game as a facilitator with 4p 10a 5r 2s in a win over All Ohio. Brown sets himself up well by coming off of ball screens with great pace, creating the separation that forces the help defender to meet him, leaving a teammate wide open under the rim for Brown to find with a nice pocket pass–Brown got at least 4 assists off this action alone. Dynamic in transition, Brown makes the right decision and isn’t afraid to throw the ball ahead or attack the defense on his own. With a growth spurt that pushes him to 6’1, Brown is definitely a name to watch in the 2026 class.
