<p class="has-medium-font-size">Eli was sensational as his team put up a valiant effort in a losing effort against Team Scoot. When the offense seemed stagnant, Eli showed his ability to score in a variety of ways. His play energized his team and helped them to keep track with Team Scoot. Eli is capable of being a prolific passer, offensive initiator, solid defender, and a productive three-point shooter. He has had a solid off-season and improved his stock over the past few months. He listed the following offer in his profile: Maryville College.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Adam continues to emerge as a big lead guard who can score and facilitate. He is not the most athletic guard, but his length makes life very difficult for opposing guards. It is not seen much with his high school team, as their offense is focused on threes and lay-ups, but one aspect of Adam's game that has been seen this off-season is his middle game, which is very lethal and is going to be a plus at the next level. He still has to continue working on his on-ball defense, especially against fast, more athletic guards. He listed the following offers in his profile: Montevallo and Lee University. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ty continues to impress with his ability to produce on and off the ball. He is a reliable and trustworthy guard who can score and orchestrate. He makes tremendous reads on both ends of the floor and has developed an array of finishing moves, which include floaters, pull-ups, and more creative finishes around the basket, which keep defenses on their heels. The trey ball is the part of his game that he excels at, and he showed that in Atlanta. Has to continue to work on his on-ball defense as he eyes life at the next level, where the game is faster and stronger.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">I saw Cam in June with his high school team, and he does a little bit of everything for his squad. At #BestofTheSouth, he impacted the game with his defensive pressure, as he was very energetic and talkative. He is an excellent teammate who is always encouraging and uplifting, which is very contagious. As he has proven while I have been covering him, he is a knockdown shooter who can make shots around the perimeter and is also very capable of getting to the basket, where he finishes well or draws fouls.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">I saw Seneca with his high school team in June, and he excels at his role as he plays alongside his team's Big 3. Seeing him in Atlanta on the AAU circuit allows Seneca to put his all-around game on display. He is a really good defender who is disruptive and has quick reflexes. His ability to read the game allows him to anticipate opponents' moves and effectively steal the ball. Offensively, he is a reliable shooter, particularly from mid-range, and excels at creating opportunities for his teammates through precise passing and court vision. Seeing him on the AAU scene allows him to show more of his two-way impact.</p>
