Wrapping up the Holiday weekend in Kansas City with a look at a handful of prospects from the 15U Division.     [player_tooltip player_id='2140733' first='Dallas' last='Lowe'], 6'2 Guard, [program_tooltip program_id='2078402' first='Team' last='Griffin']   An absolute bucket all weekend long, Lowe capped off his weekend with a scoring clinic in a Pool Championship clinching win on Sunday morning. The killer speed in transition was evident, especially as he's starting to play with his head up more as a passer. But the bread and butter for the 918 standout will likely always be his killer iso game. Especially with his ability to stop on a dime and hit contested jumpers in the mid-range, or create space from three. He has true 3-level scoring ability upside. It's splitting hairs to pick the best of the guards at the top of Oklahoma's 2027 class, but Lowe's performance this past weekend was a compelling case.   [player_tooltip player_id='2402533' first='Nolan' last=''] Nelson, 6'7 Forward JET Academy   Super productive post presence in a Sunday morning contest. Plus wingspan and strong frame made him an imposing presence, and he cleaned up on the glass. Especially offensively. Showed solid timing when it came to blocking and contesting shots. While he needs to continue to grow to be a forward threat, his blue collar mindset and fundamentals are a great starting point.   DeAndre Rhodes JR, 6'5 Wing, [program_tooltip program_id='2078402' first='Team' last='Griffin']   While often required to battle down low, the 918 product has a more than capable jumper. He caught fire on Sunday and proved be a weapon as a spot up threat from along the arc. His build, frame and movement profile hint at his potential to become a wing/guard. And his increasingly reliable three point shooting ability is a strong building block for his development.   Baba Sow, 6'8 Forward, Vegas Elite   Sow only missed one shot in a dominating performance on Sunday, and he got his own miss and put it back to clean it up. This dominant performance was made possible by his exceptional wingspan and athletic ability. He's quick off his feet around the rim, and has the handles to attack off the dribble as well. Very high upside prospect.   [player_tooltip player_id='2122957' first='Zain' last='Majeed'], 6'6 Wing, JET Academy   A physical and skilled wing, he assaulted the rim with authority in transition. Was a bit quieter in the halfcourt, but still showed signs of having a complete scoring game. Especially with his ability to use big frame to get where he wants to in the halfcourt. Majeed's physical tools are evident, easy to see why he's enjoying such a strong spring.   [player_tooltip player_id='2140800' first='Tyson' last='Pogi'], 5'11 Guard, MoKan   The Mustang Bronco lead guard wrapped up his spring EYBL play with one of his stronger sessions. The national level competition is providing an important measuring stick for Pogi, who is super skilled but currently isn't as gifted athletically as some of his peers. The fact that is he is able to be to still be efficient and adjust against faster athletes speaks to how advanced his game is. That and he's still a locked in sharpshooter from distance     [player_tooltip player_id='2326939' first='Gabe' last='Osborne'], 6'3 Guard, [program_tooltip program_id='2078402' first='Team' last='Griffin']   One of the more impressive athletes in Oklahoma's Class of 2027, he fittingly has DB like instincts. Especially when pressing. Along with his ballhawking ways, Osborne already is showing signs of being an electrifying and acrobatic finisher. He profiles very similar to other recent Oklahomans who were stars in football and basketball.
