The Expo Maryland (Prep Hoop) Camp once again provided a stage for players across the states of Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia to showcase their skill, toughness, and development heading into the upcoming season. From emerging young prospects to established names continuing to prove themselves, the competition was high-level and packed with standout performances. Here's the first of three-team reports that took place at The Park School in Baltimore, Maryland.    Though small and young, he clearly knows how to impact the game. Guthrie runs a team with IQ, assertiveness, and unselfishness. He scores the ball from all levels and sets up others at a quality rate. Pesky defender at the point of attack. Next in his development process is working on getting stronger, as it would make him a more imposing player on both ends of the floor.     Although there were several notable shooters on display, Gavin was one of the best at the camp. Stemmler is a lethal marksman and off-ball threat who positions himself for success and attacks closeouts as needed. Defends with toughness. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off hand, as it would make him a better creator of the bounce. Every game, he moved well, stayed shot-ready, and kept pressure on the defense. Made some good cuts without the ball and made good decisions with the ball in his hands     Given his steady presence and well-rounded identity, he did a great job of producing within the flow of the action. Artis is a solid creator who knows how to touch the paint, finish, and set up others. Defends with energy at the point of attack. Next in his development process is working on his ability to move without the ball, as it would lead to increased spot-up opportunities.     Bruiser brings real value to a team through his high motor, rugged defensive presence, and unselfish mentality. Edwards utilizes his quickness to contain opposing ball-handlers and force turnovers at a nice rate. Next in his development process is working on his consistency as a three-point shooter, as it would make him a more dynamic offensive threat. Edwards consistently found ways to make an impact during camp and should only continue to progress over the coming years.     Didn't see Charles at the camp. But here's a player profile… Hodge III is a high‑energy wing with multi-positional upside. He's capable of scoring from various spots on the floor, whether spotting up, attacking closeouts, or driving off the bounce. His versatility allows him to defend multiple positions, and his athleticism makes him a threat in transition. The biggest key for Turner‑Scott moving forward will be increasing his confidence and expanding his offensive role; doing so could elevate him to one of the top scorers in his class. Coaches value his willingness to compete and his ability to impact the game in different ways.     Didn't see Mario play at the event but here is a scouting report onMario previous play at another event. Mario is a long, athletic guard/wing with a fluid scoring ability inside and out. He uses his length to finish over defenders, create off the bounce, and contest shots on defense. Mario's court vision and passing ability allow him to set up teammates effectively, making him more than just a scoring threat. On the perimeter, he's developing a reliable jumper, which complements his attacking mindset.     Belvin is a long, athletic guard/wing with a fluid scoring ability inside and out. He uses his length to finish over defenders, create off the bounce, and contest shots on defense. Belvin's court vision and passing ability allow him to set up teammates effectively, making him more than just a scoring threat. On the perimeter, he's developing a reliable jumper, which complements his attacking mindset. His combination of size, athleticism, and playmaking makes him a player to watch, with potential to see significant growth if he continues to refine his skill set.     By far the top big man in the camp. Royal shows a natural ability to finish at the rim through contact, rebounds aggressively, and protects the interior with his length and timing. Offensively, he can score in multiple ways, including putbacks, short‑range jumpers, and attacking the paint off the dribble. Defensively, his mobility allows him to switch on smaller opponents while still holding his own in the post, making him a matchup problem for opponents. With continued skill development, Royal has the potential to be a legit two-way contributing big man on a national level for the next three years of varsity play.     A high-energy forward who impacts the game with his motor and consistent scoring inside. Gottfried lubbers down the floor and imposes his wide frame around the basketball to apply pressure when attacking the basket, finishes through contact, and has begun showing reliable consistency that makes him a key contributor for his camp team which will carry over to his varsity play.     Another large young man who is a load down low. Noah's presence down low is noticeable. Used his wide frame to rebound and play sound interior defense. He controls the interior with his size and defensive presence while also showing a soft touch around the rim. Didn't see much of a face-up game and be willingness to play big down low and high motor and relentless energy allow him to impact the game on every possession.
