#TerryTalks: #GBCALive Standouts Under 6’0

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Talent was in the gym from the opening to the close each day, and here are a few players who stood out. The key is this…all of them are under 6'0…&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2479760,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Rashaun-Elzy-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Rashaun-Elzy-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2479760" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Rashaun Elzy </strong>(5'11/PG/'25/Milton HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Shaun2shiftyyy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @RashaunElzy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Rashaun is extremely tough off the bounce and very difficult to keep out of the paint. What sets Rashaun apart at the PG position is his feel, vision, PG IQ, and finishing ability in the paint with floaters and crafty finishes at the rim. He sees the game well, consistently makes the right reads, is reliable as the initiator of the offense, and is a very good practitioner in the ball-screen action. He listed Reid State as his only offer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2479770,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Gavin-Reed-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Gavin-Reed-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2479770" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Gavin Reed </strong>(5'11/PG/'27/Coral Glades)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Gavin_reed11</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Gavinreed22</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Gavin has a scoring prowess at the PG spot, which makes him looked upon as a score-first PG. He is a threat from all three levels and has range that extends to the parking lot. He is shifty off the bounce and has a wiggle to his game that gets him to his spots where he can produce with his own attempts or create attempts for his teammates. He has quick hands and impressive instincts on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2479773,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Chris-Jackson-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Chris-Jackson-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2479773" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Chris Jackson </strong>(5'10/CG/'25/Impact Christian Academy)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: laasmoovv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @cjacks0ne</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Chris is a heady lead guard who is a very good decision-maker with the rock in his hands. He is very tough off the bunce as he was constantly making plays off the dribble. He has a brilliant floor game and proves to be a mature leader as a floor general. He is very comfortable setting up his teammates and distributing the rock in positions where they can be successful. His teammates love playing with him as he does a very good job sharing the rock so everyone can eat. He distributes very well, but don't overlook his ability to also score off the bounce.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2479774,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Chance-Reynolds-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Chance-Reynolds-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2479774" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2426167' first='Chance' last='Reynolds'] </strong>(5'8/PG/'27/Columbia HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: _chancereynolds</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @ChanceR2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Chance is a lead guard who keeps the defense in rotation and collapsing. He aggressively attacks the paint and makes high-end decisions in tight spaces. He is trustworthy at the lead guard spot and does a good job initiating the offense and keeping it fluid. He has a good feel for involving teammates, and his shiftiness grants him the ability to get wherever he pleases in the half-court game. He doesn't depend on scoring to be seen as he makes plays for others, and you can see his PG IQ budding for this rising sophomore.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2479775,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Cowyn-Glass-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Cowyn-Glass-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2479775" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Cowyn Glass</strong> (5'9/PG/'25/Hillgrove HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: C_glass3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Glass3C</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Cowyn is a solid lead guard who showed a mature floor game. He is everything that you would want in a PG when it comes to his skill set, his intangibles, and his cerebral processing ability. He plays like a coach on the floor and really excels at running the offense. He has nice passing and set-up ability and translatable skills for coaches looking for a true PG at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2479780,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Jacob-Douglas-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Jacob-Douglas-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2479780" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jacob Douglas </strong>(5'6/PG/'25/North Tampa Christian Academy)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: thejacobdouglas_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @__JacobDouglas</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jacob brought a lot of energy and effort to the floor off the bench. His squad's level of play went up with his activity on both ends of the floor. He is an underrated player on this squad because the spotlight is never put on him, as he is surrounded by some top-tier talent. However, Jacob is a talented backcourt prospect in his own right and one of the best distributors I saw the entire weekend. He understands his role and impacts the game with his play on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2479790,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Dejiah-Coleman-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Dejiah-Coleman-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2479790" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Dejiah Coleman&nbsp;</strong>(5'11/CG/'26/Dothan HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: they.know_diggy / dwolves_hoops</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @dejiah18</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">One of the most explosive offensive players I saw throughout the weekend was Dejiah. I have been able to follow him since the start of the grassroots season, and his stock has been on the rise with his level of play throughout. He is a dynamic backcourt prospect who controls the game as a scorer and a distributor. He has a really high basketball skillset, scoring prowess from three levels, passing ability, and athleticism. He should be poised and ready for a good July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
