More Names from the Portland Rise and Summer Sizzle

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're wrapping up our coverage of the “Portland Rise” &amp; “Summer Sizzle” tournaments directed by HoopSource at the Beaverton Hoop YMCA.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2910094' first='Baylor' last='Boe'] (2029 Dynasty) - In the limited action we saw, we were impressed with Boe's shooting ability. Baylor has a very nice-looking shot and was able to knock down his shots consistently. He also displayed a nice handle with the ball and dished out some nice assists. Boe helped lead Dynasty to an exciting 15U Bracket Championship win. You might recognize Boe's last name as his father, Brent, played at Beaverton HS and then went on to play at San Jose State. Baylor's older brother, Brayden, is a recent graduate from Mountainside HS and will be playing at Utah State this coming season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jacob Diaz (2026 Glencoe/[program_tooltip program_id='2078849' first='Team' last='Fly']) - During the [program_tooltip program_id='2078849' first='Team' last='Fly'] game we watched, Jacob went on a run, scoring on multiple possessions in a row. He continued to attack the rim and led his team in transition. He plays fast and handles the ball well. Diaz, a 6-foot guard, finished the game with 10 points.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caleb Unruh (2025 Bend/Three Peaks Elite) - Unruh was one of the top shooters we saw at the “Portland Rise” tournament. He's a 6-foot-4 guard who repeatedly showed his ability to shoot from behind the 3-point line. Unruh's teammates were constantly looking for Caleb as he made himself available as a valuable shooter.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/ian-pearson/">Ian Pearson</a> (2025 Redmond/Three Peaks Elite) - Ian was one of the top guards at the 5A level this past season. Pearson, a 5-foot-9 point guard who is committed to Corban University, showed great floor-general skills. Ian didn't put many points on the scoreboard, but overall helped his team get steals, which led to fastbreak points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tomas Merlier (2026 McMinnville/Oregon Tripl3) - One of the taller prospects we saw was Tomas Merlier, as he stands at 6-foot-7. Merlier was focused on getting post-ups and setting up his teammates in the half-court. Tomas was a decent shooter from mid-range, making him a threat to guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
