He has good positional size and plays multiple positions on the perimeter. He showed his ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. He has defensive versatility, and he scored from all levels on offense. He showed a lot of promise with his performance.

He was one of the toughest iso scorers throughout the weekend. He is a PG who can run the show or go for huge numbers. He is active on both ends of the floor and is a very disruptive defender. Yohance proved to be a lethal scorer from behind the arc, a really good passer, and a productive positional rebounder. He finished with 20pts (15pts from behind the arc) in the match-up against SoCal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2676725,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/PH-Bryce-Irby-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/PH-Bryce-Irby-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2676725" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2438595' first='Bryce' last='Irby']</strong> (6'2/Wing/'25/Greenforest Christian Academy) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Ykbryce_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Bryce_irby</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Bryce was perhaps the most consistent from behind the arc, as he had back-to-back performances where he shot the ball extremely well. His role is to shoot the rock, and he didn't deviate from it, and it is his ability to score from deep that caused him to stand out.&nbsp; The following are his two performances:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Friday: 14pts (12pts from behind the arc) in the match-up against B.E.S.T.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Saturday: 12pts (All from behind the arc) in the match-up against Woodstock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2676729,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/PH-Anthony-Jones-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/PH-Anthony-Jones-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2676729" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Anthony Jones</strong> (6'5/W/'25/North Tampa) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Anthony showed his ability to score from behind the arc, as it was clear that the three-point shot was his calling card. Not much popped out outside of his threat level from behind the arc.

He is a solid floor general who takes care of the ball and keeps his team in rhythm. He showed his ability to be a PG who could knock down the open shot. He did a really good job balancing facilitating and scoring in a highly anticipated match-up. He finished with 13pts (9pts from behind the arc) in the match-up against Columbus.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Aginaldo Neto</strong> (6'2/SG/'25/CIA Bella Vista) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Aginaldo found his way into this article with his late-game performance as his team tried to make a comeback down the stretch.

His stock truly rose with his play at this event. His length, athleticism, defense, and scoring prowess had many people talking about his play. He had a huge scoring game on day two as he scored it well from all levels. I cannot say enough that he popped on the radar as someone worth watching; the only question is, can he keep that level of play throughout the year? He finished with 19pts (9pts from behind the arc) in the match-up against Berkmar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2676733,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/PH-Grant-Robich-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/PH-Grant-Robich-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2676733" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1543506' first='Grant' last='Robich']</strong> (5'9/PG/'27/North Cobb Christian) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: grantrobich2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @GrantRobich</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Grant is a small lead guard with a very high PG IQ. I was really impressed with his play and his ability to lead his squad. He is a vocal leader and leads by example. He plays with grit and passion and is a reliable floor general. He plays like a coach on the floor and has a mature floor game. He balanced facilitating and scoring in the one game they were in over the weekend. He finished with 15pts (12pts from behind the arc) in the match-up against B.E.S.T.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2676735,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/PH-Camron-McDaniels-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/PH-Camron-McDaniels-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2676735" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Camron McDaniels</strong> (6'5/SG/'26/Huntington Prep) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: camron.mcdaniels</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @McdanielsCamron</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Cam came out on day two and was very aggressive early. He saw a couple of shots fall, and from there, there was no stopping him. He has good positional size, good elevation on the jump shot, and a quick release. He showed with his performance that he can go for huge numbers on any given night. He finished with 25pts (15pts from behind the arc) in the match-up against SoCal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jamal McClure</strong> (SG/'28/Woodstock) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jamal is a freshman who got a little more burn on day two, and he used the minutes to show his ability to score from deep.

He shot the ball extremely well from behind the arc and played aggressive, disruptive defense that led to several turnovers. When he plays with high energy and impacts the game on both ends, he makes his squad a difficult team to compete against. He finished with 16pts (12pts from behind the arc) in the match-up against Davidson Day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2676738,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/PH-Montana-Wheeler-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/PH-Montana-Wheeler-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2676738" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Montana Wheeler</strong> (5'9/PG/'25/Xavier Academy) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Montana is a small lead guard who can score the rock at will. He is a walking bucket and is very aggressive looking for his offense. He scored from all three levels with a variety of shots and appeared more comfortable looking for his own offense than setting up teammates, and that was not a bad thing with his ability to score.

He got it going early in the match-up as his team found it tough to get it going on the offensive end of the floor.

I was sharing with several people today that I have not seen Cayden play with more poise and confidence than I saw him play with over the past two days. He is one of the country's hottest players right now and is playing excellent basketball. He finished with 19pts (9pts from behind the arc) in the match-up against Wheeler.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
