Pangos All-East Frosh/Soph Camp: MD/DC Prospects

The 2025 Pangos All-East Frosh/Soph Camp was held in Wilmington, DE this year as prospects ranging the 2028, 2029, and 2030 classes from 16 states were in attendance. Included in the group were some names hailing from Maryland and DC, which we will highlight here as they tested their skills against some of the best talent on the east coast.    Bogard was names Co-MOP of the entire camp and for good reason. Now standing closer to 6-foot-9 than 6-foot-7, the skilled big man showcased his well-rounded ability for his size in grab-and-go scenarios as he led transition opportunities and made passes on target to streaking teammates. If the defense didn't stop him near half court, Bogard's handle has improve enough to help maneuver his way to the rim, finish high and embrace contact if necessary. He's playing with a heightened sense of confidence since the beginning of summer and you can tell with how he looks to dominate every possession. If he isn't scoring around the rim, Bogard is setting an effective screen where he can now pose as a legit threat to pop out and tee off from beyond the arc. Defensively he's a prideful rebounder who approaches any miss like the ball belongs to him and him only. In the top-30 game, Bogard's shooting shined brightly as he buried more than a couple of triples with excellent fluidity and improved mechanics on his load up.     Stanfield's best moments on Sunday came in the morning games where the 6-foot-6 wing displayed his ability to score from all three levels. In this sort of event where the opposing defense isn't exactly operating on the string, Stanfield's willingness as an off-ball mover is the catalyst for getting him open looks at the basket. He can attack wild closeouts with a long first step before getting into his pull-up with balance or use those long strides to get to the rim through traffic. He operates well in the mid-post where he can face up and attack his matchup off 1-to-2 dribbles or with enough space, can rise over the top and knock down shots. The other aspect of Stanfield's game that doesn't waver is his motor. He's going to run the floor with consistency and purpose, be in the mix for 50/50s, and make multiple efforts on the defensive end. He was voted into the top-30 Cream of the Crop game due to his production throughout the weekend.     Robertson introduced himself to us at the Prep Hoops Expo in September as a impact lead guard who makes life hard for his defender with his quick twitch ability on the ball. He's in attack mode whenever he's operating and aggressively looks to expose advantages in the way of straight-line drives to the rim after a blow-by or a pull-up jumper after getting his defender on their heels. In this event where there were ample transition opportunities, his blazing speed with the ball stood out. When Robertson put pressure on the defense and others made timely cuts, he was accurate with his live dribble deliveries. Robertson was voted into the top-60 Cream of the Crop game.     It seems like Farmer is a prospect who is ready to turn the corner with more opportunity at Spalding this season as he's a part of the three-headed monster of a frontcourt rotation comprised of himself, Bogard, and [player_tooltip player_id='2715192' first='Nash' last='Avery']. The 6-foot-7 forward brings a long wingspan that makes him an impact around the basket on both ends. This was an environment where he could showcase his dependable hands in the dunker's spot and improved explosion off two feet to rise up and throw down dunks with power. Farmer plays within himself and didn't try to venture far from his strengths, which ended up benefiting him and locking in a spot in the top-30 Cream of the Crop game. Farmer stood out with his two-handed flushes, aggressive rebounding, and ability to alter shots around the rim with his length.     Kelly's versatility comes to light quickly in these sort of events with his ability to guard multiple positions on the defensive end. He can comfortably switch off his man onto a shifty guard defending ball screens and keep them at bay as well as stand his ground against more physical bigs as he taps in his length to disrupt their looks inside. Kelly had more than a few opportunities to lead the break himself and make decisions at the nail to either put his head down and get to the rim or make kick-out passes on target to shooters spotting up. It was a good confidence-rising weekend for the 6-foot-6 hybrid forward who should gain momentum this year with Archbishop Carroll in the WCAC taking on a bigger role as a sophomore. Kelly was voted into the top-60 Cream of the Crop game.     Admittedly so, this was my first time being able to really focus on Walton's game and see him play in live scenarios with consistency. I don't see many reasons why he shouldn't be a focal point on this Walt Whitman team this season given his supreme athleticism and continuous, rounding out offensive capabilities. His jumper is more consistent and comes off clean when his feet are in rhythm. He sprints the lanes hard and poses as a lob threat and also brings active hands to the defensive side that caused a plethora of deflections. Walton was voted into the top-60 Cream of the Crop game.
