May Live Period Review: 2025 Big Winners

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the May Live Period in our rear view mirrors, it's time to discuss who positively impacted their recruitments. Check out these 5 names who did that:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1402923' first='Nathan' last='Brazil'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2078699' first='Wildcat' last='Select 3SSB']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brazil demonstrated the potential to be a professional scorer at the collegiate level. In isolation and PNR, he insisted on getting to the cup and welcomed contact when he got there. Brazil was also comfortable playing on the second side and shooting spot-up jumpers. He called game against the Utah Prospects, drilling a step-back three with less than 5 seconds left.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2047550' first='Carnell' last='Henderson'] | Brad Wanamaker Elite HGSL</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On a loaded BW Elite team, Henderson impacted every phase of the game. The combo guard defended exceptionally well at the point-of-attack and at the nail, effectively navigating screens and digging at the ball. When he created turnovers, Henderson also made the right play with outlet passes up the court. Conversely, Henderson sad aggressive within the flow of the offense, cashing spot-up jumpers and slashing to the basket when the land was open.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1589088' first='Justin' last='Houser'] | We-R1 UAA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although he showed flashes of skill stretching the floor and rolling off of ball-screens, Houser went to work on the block too. He fought for post position against players with a lower center of gravity and often won by either catching the ball and laying it up or drawing the foul. Houser was engaged defensively no matter what his offensive usage was. He blocked multiple shots per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1865290' first='Keni'' last='Williams'] | K-Low 3SSB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams's uptempo style produced good results in transition. He created a host of fastbreak points on his own by keeping the defense off-balance with his ability to change directions with the ball at full speed. In the halfcourt, he showed he can get into the lane on his own or off-the-catch and change speeds inside the arc. Once Williams got to his spots, he finished off of one or two feet to make the play he wanted.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1874234' first='Nasir' last='Williams'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] Select</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nas carried a heavy scoring load for his team but he balanced it with playmaking. He showcased his craft and improvisational counters on the way to the hoop, evading multiple defenders as he hit touch shots over defenders. And when the defense tried to force the ball out of his hands, Williams stayed engaged on the second side. He relocated well off-ball, stepping into several catch-and-shoot threes.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
