Section 7: 2027 Prospects Who Helped Themselves

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>June 20-22 Mesa Arizona. PH NorCal set out on a mission to see the 18 NorCal teams play at least once. We came close we did see all 18 but not whole games, we'll keep working. The Championship games featured six 2027 prospects who helped themselves in front of college coaches: [player_tooltip player_id='2212735' first='NJ' last='Gray'], [player_tooltip player_id='2212734' first='Heath' last='French'] from The Branson School, [player_tooltip player_id='2352694' first='Elijah' last='Stanley'], [player_tooltip player_id='2471762' first='Ronnie' last='Selleaze'], [player_tooltip player_id='2137369' first='Asante' last='Johnson'] from Salesian Prep, and [player_tooltip player_id='2838675' first='Sam' last='Newmeyer'] for University. [player_tooltip player_id='2212733' first='Siincere' last='Hudson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2215149' first='Trevor' last='Dickson'] from Modesto Christian had college coaches seated as well. Here's another group that caught our attention in this 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2215141' first='Cole' last='White'] Archbishop Riordan: He ran the point guard position for the Crusaders. He's still sharpening his tools for the position. He has the handles, strength, and ability to penetrate pass, and finish aggressive around the rim. He fed the post, found his cutters, and shot makers along the perimeter. He plays with energy on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2359721' first='Teni' last='Bamisebi'] Valley Christian: Right now he's most effective on the defensive side of the ball. The 6'9 center is long, alert with good activity inside changing shots, getting rebounds, and sending out lets to start the break. He's a target in the post to run the offense through, he has good passing from the post. He'll get his points in the paint, and slashing down towards the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2440124' first='Templeton' last='Fountaine V'] Vanden: He continues to grow his game, he had good all around play. He's a good shooter with 3-point range, and off the dribble mid-ranges he knocks down. He takes, and makes shots within the flow of the offense. He runs well in transition, has good hops, he's helping rebound. He's filling his frame, still growing. His stock could go up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2282466' first='Aeron' last='Wallace'] Modesto Christian: A good defensive prospect who can defend multiple positions. He has speed, movement, and a willingness to defend. He has the tools to put points on the board. Knocking down 3's, using handles, and quickness to get into the paint, toughness to handle contact finishing around the basket. He's adjusting to his new team, and giving good effort on the defensive side of the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2136797' first='Elijah' last='Payne'] Modesto Christian: A long rangy 3-point shooting wing type of player. He'll spot up around the perimeters, set up in the corners for catch and shoot 3's and coming down court in transition looking to drop a quick 3-pointer in rhythm. He's on the thins side with good length, he makes the effort to box out before going for rebounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2517134' first='Jadon' last='Shabaglian'] Valley Christian, San Jose: Good size and strength. He brings energy and effort defending different positions. He runs both ways filling the lanes, and hustling back on defense. He helps rebound. His improving handles allows him to attack from the baseline, and other areas. He's showing an improved mid-range jumper off the dribble. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2443134' first='Jaeden' last='Claxton'] Inderkum: He's an energetic bouncy forward with good activity around the basket. He has a quick jump going up off two feet for put back dunks, tap ins, and rebounds. He has good strength, using one or two dribbles, then exploding for shots around the rim, he'll have to convert more. He has the foot speed and strength to defend the post and on the perimeter, as well as trap in the full court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2136801' first='Seve' last='Archuleta'] Modesto Christian: He's a plus coming off the bench. He has a good understanding of what he's in for. He serves as one who'll help defend in the post, work rebounds, and move the ball. We did see him hit the short corner jumper, score off the put back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2441153' first='Rome' last='Ramore'] Dublin: A stocky hard playing guard with speed handling the basketball. He's aggressive and pushes hard going up court. He looks to attack the basket whenever the opportunity presents itself. He's strong with foot speed and lateral movement to defend in full court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2874077' first='Noah' last='Ladrech'] De La Salle: He's still growing and filling his frame. He's a good 3-point shooter, spots up in the corners, and from the top, in stance ready to shoot. He positions himself on the defensive side of the ball for helping, he uses his long reach to distract shooters, and help rebound. He's one we'll need to see more of. He'll be a contributor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have three newcomers that will go into the next rankings update in the 2027 class, because of their play on the court at Section 7</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2889920' first='Ashton' last='Preston'] 6'5 Forward, De La Salle, and [player_tooltip player_id='2889922' first='Tommy' last='Ambidge'] 6'5 Forward, San Ramon Valley, [player_tooltip player_id='2862599' first='Greg' last='Dufosee'] 6'4 Forward, Jesuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
