<p><strong>Langston Hampton - Athletic Elite 2025 </strong>I really liked the way Hampton was playmaking on offense especially in transition. His teammates would always be in the right place for open shots due to his vision. His fast pace, decision making and defensive anticipation in passing lanes were impressive. Great IQ player! </p>

<p><strong>Jawun Shaw - Oak Cliff Stars</strong> <strong>2025 </strong>Explosive guard that is elite in a lot of ways. First, he can score on all three levels as he makes tough layups, mid-range and perimeter shots at a good rate. Second, he gets his teammates involved with his ability to facilitate the ball to open teammates. Third, he defends well on the ball while getting steals in passing lanes. </p>

<p><strong>Reginald Jackson - Louisiana [program_tooltip program_id='2076376' first='Gators' last='Elite'] 2025</strong> Gives his 100% effort on both ends of the floor! Physical player that isn't afraid of contact and will finish shots at the rim. I liked his versatility being able to hit open shots from the mid-range off the dribble and off the catch on the perimeter. He plays good defensively on the ball and rebounds well securing stops for his team.</p>

<p><strong>Shangameir Sutton - Nikw ProSkillsMTX 2026 National</strong> I was really impressed with his high activity on the floor! He makes big plays when they matter the most that change the momentum for his team. Plays well within the team's offense and defense. Very athletic wing player that should be on the radar soon!</p>

<p><strong>Baker Hoskins - Xpress Sports 2026</strong> Versatile offensive player that can create shots for himself on all three levels. Shows toughness on the defensive side competing on the glass for rebounds against opposing power forwards and centers throughout the weekend.

<p><strong>Jameal Reynolds - Texas Summit UA Rise 2026</strong> One of the best rebounders I watched at the Prep Hoops Grind Region Finals.
