<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article we look back at the top shooters I saw from this &nbsp;Chi-Town Tip Off.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194657' first='Josiah' last='Hall'] Geek Squad 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Freshman from St.Ignatius has slimmed up some since he Played in our freshman Camp. Josiah has also strengthened his outside shooting. On opening night he made 6 threes in the contest. With his improved shooting Hall has tightened his handle and passing skills. He's a prospect to monitor moving forward.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2442189' first='Ian' last='Smucker'] [program_tooltip program_id='2078374' first='Full' last='Package'] 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smucker finished the Tip Offf with a good game. He drained 4 triples in a win over M14Hoops. Ian is a PG who is a terrific catch-and-shoot prospect.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2255121' first='David' last='Showman'] M14Hoops 2027&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the same game with the before mentioned Smucker, David closed out the Tip Off with 6 bombs of his own. He also had another big day with a 35-point game over [program_tooltip program_id='2076904' first='Chicago' last='Hoops']. A certified flame thrower.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Adam Mcrearty [program_tooltip program_id='2452456' first='Mac' last='Irvin Fire'] 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I like the addition of McBrearty to the Fire 16U team. A wing player with size and college-range shooting. Can score some at the rim as well. Will have a bigger role on the varsity team next season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cooper Markee Team Herro 2026&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Was impressed with how well Cooper shot the ball this weekend. At 6'5 He showed good size and skills from mid-range and behind the arc. Markee shot the ball with a smooth release that seemed to always go in. With his size and shooting ability, he can be a scholarship player in college next year.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2426050' first='Blair' last='Fagbemi'] [program_tooltip program_id='2078374' first='Full' last='Package'] 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's not a surprise that the third brother of the Fagbemi bunch is a shooter like the other two. Saturday he knocked in 4 threes against a tough Fire 16U squad. Blair is not just a shooter but a cerebral guard who knows how to get his teammates involved when he draws all the attention.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396333' first='Sean' last='Souter'] Chi-Town Bulldogs 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Souter is a skilled PG who played up two levels this past weekend. He's a high IQ guard who shoots it well from deep and the mid-range. Sean hit 5 threes in a competitive game with IL Stars. Souter is a player who will trend up more during June.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2532349' first='Owen' last='Kirby'] [program_tooltip program_id='2452456' first='Mac' last='Irvin Fire'] 2027&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I got my first glance at Kirby this weekend and I was impressed at how good of a shooter he was. At 6'4 he gets his feet set quick and has a fast release on the shot. The game I caught him he went on a run and hit 4 threes in a convincing win. I look forward to catching more of Owen this spring and summer.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2821689' first='Kendall' last='Bosby'] [program_tooltip program_id='2075515' first='Hoops' last='4 Health'] 2026&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bosby is a player I stumbled upon on Saturday night. He burned the nets down with his shooting having the best shooting performance of the whole weekend. Kendall hit eight 3's all coming in the second half of the game. He's a 6'5 player who moves well off the dribble but is very lethal in catch-and-shoot moments. He finished the game with 33 points with 31 points coming in the second half. With games like these Bosby has created his buzz.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
