<p>The annual ProSpecs Camp once again lived up to the hype, assembling over 100 of the top high school basketball prospects from across the Midwest. Held in Oklahoma City, the camp featured a highly competitive atmosphere, as athletes competed in full five-on-five games designed to showcase their skills in live, game-like situations. A wide range of college coaches and recruiters -- representing programs at every level -- were on hand, adding to the energy and giving players a prime opportunity to elevate their recruitment profiles.</p>

<p>In this five-part series, I'll highlight several standout performers from the event -- athletes who not only made a strong impression but are poised to carry that momentum into the upcoming winter season.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1552339' first='Kolton' last='Brammer'] | 6'1" Guard | Newcastle | ROGUE</em></strong></p>

<p>Brammer had a strong showing during 5-on-5 play, standing out with his versatile scoring package and ability to create offense both for himself and for others. He consistently found ways to impact the game, whether through his shot-making, driving ability, or smart decision-making in the halfcourt. As a scorer, Brammer showed the ability to operate at all three levels. He was comfortable pulling up from mid-range, knocking down perimeter shots, and finishing at the rim through contact. His offensive approach was controlled and efficient — he didn't force the action, but rather let the game come to him and took advantage of defensive breakdowns when they appeared. Equally impressive was his ability as a facilitator. Brammer regularly created advantages off the dribble, using changes of pace, ball screens, and sharp reads to break down defenses. Once he had a defender on his hip or drew help, he made the right play — often setting up teammates for high-percentage looks. Whether hitting cutters, kick-out shooters, or the roll man, he kept the ball moving and the offense flowing.</p>

<p><strong><em>Lojok Loliwa | 6'4" Guard | Denton | [program_tooltip program_id='2076138' first='DC' last='Kings Denton']</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Loliwa made his presence felt throughout the day with his high energy, defensive activity, and athleticism. He was one of the more active players on both ends of the floor, consistently impacting the game even without needing the ball in his hands. Defensively, Lojok stood out for his motor and disruptive instincts. He played with intensity on the perimeter, using his length and lateral quickness to pressure ball handlers and contest passing lanes. He routinely got deflections, closed out hard, and made it difficult for opposing guards to get comfortable. His ability to cover ground quickly and anticipate plays made him a real asset on that end. Offensively, he made his biggest mark in transition. Lojok ran the floor hard on multiple possessions, using his speed and bounce to get behind defenses and finish plays at the rim. His athleticism translated well in the open court, where he constantly put pressure on opponents by sprinting lanes, attacking gaps, and positioning himself for easy finishes.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2045444' first='Joey' last='Folsom'] | 5'11" Guard | Newcastle | [program_tooltip program_id='2387159' first='Southern' last='Ties']</em></strong></p>

<p>Joey was arguably the hardest-playing competitor on the floor throughout camp. His consistent energy, toughness, and high-level instincts made him stand out in every session. He brought a relentless approach to both ends of the court, making an impact that went far beyond scoring. Defensively, Folsom was a tone-setter. He took pride in guarding multiple positions, switching seamlessly between ball handlers and wings. His ability to apply constant ball pressure, fight through screens, and rotate instinctively made him a disruptive presence. Whether picking up full court or helping on drives, he brought a physical and disciplined edge that frustrated opponents. Offensively, Joey handled the ball with control, initiated offense, and played unselfishly — looking to get teammates involved. In transition, he pushed the pace effectively, making smart decisions on the move and either advancing the ball with the pass or attacking downhill himself. He also showed the ability to probe defenses, get two feet in the paint, and create scoring chances for himself or others.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2712639' first='Garrett' last='Smith'] | 6'6" Forward | Mustang | Legynds</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Garrett is a rising 2028 prospect with excellent length and a natural feel for the game at the forward position. His physical tools stood out immediately, and he made a consistent impact through his activity, efficiency, and ability to play within the flow of the offense. Smith impressed with his discipline and decision-making, especially for a young big. He didn't force the action but instead picked his spots well, often playing off penetration and finding open pockets in the defense. He showed strong timing and awareness as a cutter and was excellent finishing on the move — catching lobs in traffic and converting well above the rim. One of his most valuable contributions came on the offensive glass. Smith consistently created extra possessions by attacking the boards, using his length, timing, and motor to keep plays alive. Around the rim, he displayed a variety of strong finishes — soft touch, quick put-backs, and powerful dunks — all signs of a developing post scorer with upside.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2441152' first='Gibson' last='Johnson'] | 6'3" Guard | Carl Albert | [program_tooltip program_id='2387159' first='Southern' last='Ties']</em></strong></p>

<p>One of the youngest players in attendance in Oklahoma City, Gibson more than held his own — particularly on the offensive end. Despite his age, he played with a noticeable level of confidence and composure, standing out for his ability to impact the game without forcing the action. Johnson has a sturdy, physical build for a 2029 prospect, which he used well on both ends of the floor. Offensively, he was extremely effective as a floor spacer, consistently knocking down perimeter shots. He connected on multiple catch-and-shoot threes with range and against length. In addition to his shooting, Gibson also impressed with his willingness to mix it up inside. He rebounded the ball well in traffic, using both positioning and strength to secure boards against older, more physically developed players. His nose for the ball and willingness to compete in the paint had many teammates raising their level of play. </p>
