There were hundreds of future college prospects in attendance, along with over double digit collegiate coaches and multiple national scouts in attendance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In order to give a thorough breakdown of the many standouts from the event, I will be rolling out standouts all weeks in the different classes. Here's part two of four for some of the many junior standouts from VA teams in attendance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2459068' first='Dreylan' last='Creasy'] | 6'7” WF | Blue Ridge</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2560999,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageCnOVo8.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageCnOVo8.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2560999" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Creasy was impressive last year as a sophomore off the bench for Blue Ridge then got hurt this summer so he didn't play AAU, but in his first event with Blue Ridge this year he has a chance to be a breakout player for the Barons this year. At 6'7” he has great positional size and uses it well to create mismatches, he showed the ability to get to spots off the bounce and make tough shots in the midrange, he's an athletic finisher and rebounder and he's an unselfish player who will do the dirty work for his team as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1963390' first='Kosi' last='Mgbejiofor'] | 6'10” C | Blue Ridge</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2422159,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/tempImageoTFOwj.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/tempImageoTFOwj.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2422159" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mgbejiofor comes back to VA at Blue Ridge after a year in North Carolina at Winston-Salem Christian, and he's going to be a huge impact for. Blue Ridge which is a program that has done a great job developing big men over the years. He showed his tremendous ability defensively as he blocked and altered shots effortlessly without fouling, he ran the floor well and finished above the rim showing his elite athleticism and he showed improvement with his touch around the rim and in the midrange too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2618835' first='Carter' last='Bullock'] | 6'3” WG | Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bullock is a new name to know for a very talented Catholic team that will be a tough out for anyone in the VISAA D1, and he's going to be an x-factor with his dynamic playmaking ability. The 6'3” wing showed a lot of shift off the bounce and good burst with the ball in his hands, he showed athleticism as a finisher with good hang time and footwork, he made shots from multiple levels and he showed a lot of hustle and a good motor too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2618837' first='Christian' last='Dinges'] | 6'3” WG | John Handley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dinges is going to be an x-factor for a Handley team that could be competing for a VHSL Class 4 State Championship this year, as he is a fantastic second option and impacts the game in a number of different ways. He's grown quite a bit over the past few years and gotten much more athletic since doing it, he showed he can knock down open shots, he got downhill and finished well around the rim and he made a lot of plays defensively as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1782682' first='Latrell' last='Allmond'] | 6'8” PF | John Marshall</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2561000,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagenMmUYR.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagenMmUYR.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2561000" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Allmond was one of the most impressive players in the entire gym, showing his physical dominance while also showing quite a bit of improvement and going right at some big matchups he had as well. He showed his fantastic athleticism at his size with numerous big throw downs and swatting a lot of shots, he shot the ball well from deep when he was left open, he showed his ability to switch and guard almost every position on the floor and he dominated the paint as a rebounder and tough guy too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ladarius Givan | 6'9” C | John Marshall</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2561006,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageu7OoOL.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageu7OoOL.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2561006" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Givan is a new addition to JM this year and in joining Allmond the Missisippi State commit makes the Justices perhaps the best and most versatile front court in the entire state. The 6'8” power forward is another very versatile mismatch as he is mobile and athletic throwing down his own very impressive dunks and blocking a lot of shots, he's a very good scorer around the rim with both hands, he stretched the floor well by knocking down some shots and he he showed good ball skills for his size too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2618849' first='Collin' last='Bowles'] | 6'2” CG | Massaponax</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2561010,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageAwMqH3.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageAwMqH3.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2561010" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bowles was a new name we learned about with this Massaponax team that played tough throughout both days, and he showed he can flat out light it up from deep as well. The 6'2” guard showed the ability to play on the ball and get his team into sets and make plays for others, he was absolutely deadly from deep knocking down shots on the move and well beyond the three-point line, he was a scrappy defender and he made the hustle plays for his team as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1588134' first='Zyon' last='McGlone'] | 5'11” PG | Norfolk Collegiate</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2561018,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagecK8VYz.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagecK8VYz.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2561018" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McGlone is a new addition to this NoCo team that is already chock full of talent, and the way he played at the Fall Series there's no doubt in my mind he'll be one of the top guards in Hampton Roads this year. While he's just 5'11” McGlone is a superb athlete which he showed with some impressive chase down blocks and finishes above the rim, he's super quick and shifty off the bounce and got the rim at will, he made shots from multiple levels and he was able to turn defense into offense with his quick hands too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
