<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Several players qualified for Sniper School on Day 1 at UAA Session III.

He has good size at the PG spot, and while he is a high-level scorer, he does a good job running the show for his squad. He is a very heady ball-screen practitioner as he dissects defenses when coming off the screen, with his ability to read all defenders and how they are reacting. He excels as the ball-handler in the P&amp;R action as he can shoot it coming off if the defender goes under, and he becomes a playmaker when defenses are locking and trailing or blitzing. He has a high PG IQ and had a terrific showing, not just in scoring but in his overall game in the match-up against Gateway. He finished with 32pts (21pts coming from behind the arc). He listed the following offers in his profile: High Point and Washington St.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Check Out Film On Jrob:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/reel/C88Ma0VvJZt/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/C88Ma0VvJZt/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2489356,"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-Ethan-Brown-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Ethan-Brown-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2489356" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Ethan Brown</strong> (6'4/CG/'26/Gateway Knights)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: ethanb.34 / gatewayknights</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @EthanBrown2026 / @GatewayBBall</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ethan is a talented backcourt prospect who can play on and off the ball, and his impact is felt when operating in either mode. He has a really good balance between scoring and facilitating. He is a solid playmaker who does a good job getting his teammates involved by setting the table for them with his dribble penetration. His threat of scoring from deep often creates hard close-outs, which runs him off the line, which doesn't bother Ethan as he makes really good decisions with the ball off the dribble and when he gets into the heart of the defense. When it comes to his scoring ability, he shot the ball as good as anyone on day one. He finished with 16pts (12pts coming from behind the line) in the game against West Coast Elite. He listed the following offers in his profile: SLU, SEMO, Lindenwood.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Check Out Film On Ethan:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/p_hMBcXL_7o?feature=shared ","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/p_hMBcXL_7o?feature=shared </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2489357,"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-Steven-Ramirez-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Steven-Ramirez-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2489357" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Steven Ramirez</strong> (6'5/SG/'25/Texas Impact 4:13)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: steven_.ramirez / texasimpact413</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @stevenram2025 / @Texasimpact413</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">In the words of the famous Dick Vitale (wishing you a speedy recovery), HE CAN STROKE THE ROCK BABY! Steven put on a clinic from behind the arc in the match-up against Team Thrill. His impact in the game was clear, and it was his point production from behind the arc. He finished with 18pts (all coming from behind the arc).

You already have Steven Ramirez, who can light it up, and when you have a versatile inside-out scoring option as Luke, opposing teams are caught in a challenging situation determining what to take away because TX Impact is a team that can really score the rock. In the game against Team Thrill, it was his production from behind the arc and helping to keep the floor spaced that made a huge difference. He finished with 13pts (9pts coming from behind the arc).

Whether it has been with his [program_tooltip program_id='2076576' first='Pro' last='One'] squad or with Enterprise, his high school team, during the month of June, Tucker has been filling up the scoring column and has been doing it in a variety of ways. He has scored off the bounce, off the catch-and-shoot, in his middle game, and on the low block post-up. On day one at #UANext in the match-up against Mountain Stars, he finished with 19pts (12 from behind the arc). As long as Tucker is playing like he has been, you can expect his stock to continue to rise, and interest from college coaches will continue to do the same. Tucker has two offers: South Florida and Troy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2489360,"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-Bryant-James-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Bryant-James-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2489360" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1398642' first='Bryant' last='James']</strong> (6'0/CG/'25/[program_tooltip program_id='2076576' first='Pro' last='One'] 17U)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: bryantj_13</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @bryant_james10</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='1398642' first='Bryant' last='James'] is one of the most gifted scorers on this [program_tooltip program_id='2076576' first='Pro' last='One'] squad; the only problem is that the team is loaded with scorers, especially players who can get it done from behind the arc. I have covered Bryant throughout his high school career, and he continues to be one of Alabama's most prolific scorers. It is hard to say, but he can easily be looked upon as an underrated player on this squad, but again, I am talking about a team that is loaded with talent and plays a very unselfish style of basketball. Bryant finished with 9pts (all from behind the arc).&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
