Bulldogs’ Staff Take Notice…Standouts from Elite Camp

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Alabama A&amp;M hosted its Elite Camp with players from several states making the trip to showcase their skills in front of the Bulldogs' staff. The gym was filled with prospects hungry to prove themselves, and a number of players left a lasting impression…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2952142,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Khalil-Luster-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Khalil-Luster-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2952142" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194652' first='Khalil' last='Luster']</strong> (6' 8/F/'28/Red Bay HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: khalil_oneal</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @KhalilLuster</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Khalil continues to have an impressive spring and summer and is steadily moving up the ranks as one of the top players in his class in the state. He showed his offensive scoring prowess from all levels, but was really impressive with his ability to score from behind the arc. He is agile for his size, but he needs to continue strengthening his lower body. He did a good job being active on the glass, but his play on the defensive end of the floor is an area for growth. He had a solid showing at the UAB elite camp, but his play was more impactful at A&amp;M camp, which impressed the coaching staff and earned him an official offer.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2952144,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Isaiah-McClain-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Isaiah-McClain-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2952144" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2314066' first='Isaiah' last='McClain']</strong> (5'10/CG/2026/Minor HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Isaiah2lucky</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @IsaiahM52290840</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Isaiah had his overall floor game on full display throughout the day. He is a heady lead guard who can also move off-ball and produce with his scoring prowess. He has really good court vision, and his passing ability continues to rise as one of the key assets in his game that is going to help him at the next level. He plays with a high IQ, understands spacing, has set-up ability by using his gravity, and values the ball. When he is not orchestrating the offense, he has really good shot-creation ability and can go for huge numbers. He is an outstanding leader on the floor and is a direct extension of who is coaching him.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2952147,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Jay-Green-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Jay-Green-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2952147" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1958553' first='Jay' last='Green']</strong> (6'0/PG/‘27/Springdale Prep)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: bamajay8</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @iam_jaygren8</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jay continued his stock rising off-season with an impressive elite camp performance that helped him leave with an offer on the table. He is a dynamic lead guard who controls the flow of the game with his high lead guard IQ. He is a tough competitor on both ends of the floor and continues to show his emerging PG skill set. With the reclassification into the 2027 class, he is steadily moving up the charts as one of the top lead guards in the class. He doesn't back down from anyone, and he brings energy, effort, and passion every time he steps onto the court. He not only makes those around him better but also demonstrates the ability to score when needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2952149,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-JiYair-Rose-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-JiYair-Rose-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2952149" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2352383' first='JiYair' last='Rose']</strong> (6'1/CG/‘26/Rossview HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: jr.rose.12</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @JiYairRose</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">JiYair is a backcourt talent who quickly became a known name by those in attendance. He has a mature floor game and a potent scoring arsenal from all levels. He is explosive off the bounce as well as when attacking the rim. He is shifty with the ball, and when he gets a step, he gets downhill in a hurry. His maturity is evident in his play, as he effectively utilizes his athleticism and bursts off the dribble. He handles the ball well and is really good at exploiting and hitting cracks in the defense, and getting to the rim to finish or draw fouls. He has a nice perimeter jumper that keeps defenders from playing him for the drive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2952150,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Axavian-Edwards-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Axavian-Edwards-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2952150" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2472439' first='Axavian' last='Edwards']</strong> (5'10/CG/‘27/Tuscaloosa County HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: li.zae12</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @ZEdwards47579</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Axavian is a small lead guard who constantly puts pressure on the rim throughout the day. He plays hard on both ends of the floor, and he is not afraid to venture into the paint and create on offense, dig on defense, and offer assistance on the glass. He is listed as a combo guard, but will need to continue to focus on and hone his lead guard skills. He showed his ability to score off the bounce, but seeing his ability to facilitate will help his future in the game, even though he may have to put up numbers this season with his school team.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2952152,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Zamarion-Johnson-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Zamarion-Johnson-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2952152" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2414750' first='Zamarion' last='Johnson']</strong> (6'1/CG/'26/Hale County HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: omgisdatzee</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @omgdatszee</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Zamarion is an electric perimeter player who was a highlight reel throughout the day. He flashed his athleticism and had some spectacular finishes off the bounce in the half-court as well as out in transition. He uses his athleticism on both ends of the floor as he is a slasher who puts tremendous pressure on the rim. Defensively, his athleticism is seen with his ability to be a disruptive on-ball defender who forces ball-handlers to earn everything they get. He has to continue to work on his consistency from behind the arc, but if he can make that an efficient part of his game, look for his stock to rise quickly this season.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2952165,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Expo-Oct2025.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Expo-Oct2025.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2952165" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">🏀 <strong>Join Us for the #PHTheExpoAL Camp! </strong>🏀</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Are you ready to take your game to the next level?
