<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Here is a look at a few of the players on [program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill'] 17U in my July recap series…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2501132,"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-Jerome-Williams-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Jerome-Williams-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2501132" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jerome Williams</strong> (5'10/PG/'25/[program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill']) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Jiggy.rome2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Jiggyrome2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jerome is a small guard who was one of the quickest with the rock in his hands that I saw during session III. His end-to-end speed and downhill attacking play made him a difficult cover for anyone trying to keep him out of the paint. His playmaking ability is where the bulk of his value is seen, and his contribution is made.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2501133,"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-Marcus-Jackson-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Marcus-Jackson-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2501133" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Marcus Jackson</strong> (6'9/SF/'25/[program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill'])</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: 11marcus__</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @23marcus_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Marcus is a lefty who is an impact player on both ends of the floor. He has positional size and length, a good physical build, and elite athleticism. He is a multi-level scorer and did a really good job stretching the floor with his ability to shoot the trey ball. He is an impactful scorer, a high-volume rebounder, and a shot-blocking force. His athleticism, passing, shooting, shot-blocking, and finishing ability all stood out in front of a sideline full of college coaches.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2501135,"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-Josiah-Legree-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Josiah-Legree-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2501135" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Josiah Legree</strong> (6'1/PG/'25/[program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill']) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Jellyjo_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @JellyJ0_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Josiah is a lead guard who is a wizard with the rock. He impacts the game on and beyond the stat sheet. He competes at a high level on both ends of the floor and makes hustle plays by giving up his body to secure 50/50 balls. He does an excellent job knifing his way through the defense and getting into the heart of the defense, where he scores or assists on teammates' scores. He makes the game look really easy at times for himself and his teammates, as he has a brilliant floor game and a good understanding of the game at the PG spot.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2501137,"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-Josiah-Legree-C-1.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Josiah-Legree-C-1.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2501137" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Robert Fields</strong> (6'8/PF/2025/[program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill'] UAA) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: therobertfields</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @therobertfields</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Robert is a stout inside presence who made his presence felt on the glass. He did not contribute much in the scoring column in the game I saw him compete in, but he did show a nice touch in his middle game. He is a big body that does a lot of dirty work on both ends of the floor. When Robert constantly bangs and leans on opponents over the course of a game, he wears them down to the point where they have very little left in the tank. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2501138,"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-Omarr-Smith-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Omarr-Smith-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2501138" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1371863' first='Omarr' last='Smith']</strong> (6'4/SG/2025/[program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill']) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: omarrsmith_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @omarrsmith__</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Omarr is listed as an SG but spent a lot of time orchestrating the offense. He is a big lead guard who flashed his athleticism and ability to get his teammates involved. His most notable plays don't even seem all that spectacular, yet his production is clearly felt on both ends of the floor. He rebounds his position and does a good job rimming and running.&nbsp; Defensively, he uses his length to break up what seems to be sure layups, and he uses his length to be a disruptive defender.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2501015,"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/PHTop250-Alabama-Expo-2024-Logo.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PHTop250-Alabama-Expo-2024-Logo.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2501015" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">🏀&nbsp; <strong>Attention Alabama Basketball Players! </strong>🏀</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">We are excited to announce our PHTop250 Camp happening from September 29 at Spain Park High School!
