He plays well both on and off the ball and shows an advanced understanding of spacing, decision-making, and how to make winning plays. Though he was limited due to a lingering injury, Caleb battled through and still made his presence felt throughout the day with an effort that did not go unnoticed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2920209,"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-Dylan-Jones-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Dylan-Jones-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2920209" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Dylan Jones </strong>(6'6/G|F/'27/Bartlett)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Rylldyll / teamthad2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @thedwj / @TeamThadNation</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Dylan was arguably the top performer at camp, as he had a breakout day that ended with a scholarship offer from Coach Andy Kennedy and the UAB staff. He is an athletic wing positional size, and he excelled in transition and showed his ability to create off the dribble in half-court sets. His physicality, slashing ability, and finishing touch at the rim made him one of the most difficult matchups on the floor. His energy, confidence, and efficiency left a lasting impression.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2920210,"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-Tyjavian-Byrd-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Tyjavian-Byrd-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2920210" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2463394' first='Tyjavian' last='Byrd'] </strong>(6'8/G|F|C/'27/Paul W. Bryant)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Tj.splaxxs0 / Stampedenationn</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Tjfor3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Tyjavian continues to solidify his reputation as one of Alabama's top 2027 prospects. He earned an offer from UAB after a dominant showing that highlighted his versatility and two-way impact. He has the tools to defend multiple positions, and on offense, he showcased a soft touch around the rim, fluid handle, and an explosive finishing ability as a lob threat. His blend of size, mobility, and upside makes him a stock-riser to watch closely heading into the high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2920211,"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-Jayddence-Ford-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Jayddence-Ford-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2920211" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2245661' first='Jayddence' last='Ford']</strong> (5'8/PG/'26/Carver-GA) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: jayddenceford_3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jayddence came out aggressive and maintained that intensity throughout 5v5 play. He is a score-first lead guard, who showed confidence, shot-making ability, and the knack for creating his own offense at all three levels. While his size drew some sideline discussion in terms of projection, his ability to generate buckets at volume and create space was undeniable. Going forward, balancing scoring with facilitation could elevate his long-term potential as a point guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2920212,"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-Brendon-Davis-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Brendon-Davis-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2920212" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2699980' first='Brendon' last='Davis']</strong> (6'3/CG/'27/Wenonah)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: donwitdashiftsz</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @BrendonDav40665</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Brendon is an explosive combo guard who impressed with his ability to get downhill and score in a variety of ways. His quick first step, vertical pop, and developing court vision stood out, especially when creating out of isolation or attacking closeouts. He showed the ability to operate as a scorer in transition and half-court settings and flashed the upside to be more of a complete playmaker. There is still untapped potential in his game, which makes him an intriguing long-term prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2920213,"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-Duor-Duor-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Duor-Duor-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2920213" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2284887' first='Duor' last='Duor']</strong> (6'9/G|F/'26/South Atlanta HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Duorduor13</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Duor displayed a unique mix of size, versatility, and feel. He can score inside and out, and his length makes him a mismatch problem. Whether initiating offense from the perimeter or operating out of the post, he consistently made smart reads and delivered crisp passes. He was especially productive on the offensive glass, turning second chances into easy points. His ability to impact both ends, combined with his IQ and improving polish, makes him one to monitor closely.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2920214,"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-Keegan-Keeton-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Keegan-Keeton-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2920214" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194997' first='Keegan' last='Keeton']</strong>&nbsp;(5'11/CG/'28/Jasper)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: keetonkeegan</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @keegankeeton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Keegan is coming off an injury and there is still some rust in his game, but he still showed his competitive fire and willingness to play both ends of the floor. He wasn't able to show his specialty with his three ball much in 5v5, but he showed that he could impact the game in other ways such as defending and creating off the dribble and making right reads to get teammates the ball. After missing the live period in July, it was good to see him back on the court competing even though he is not 100% yet.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
