<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1592891' first='Jacori' last='Jones'], a 5'11" combo guard, brings nonstop energy and confidence to every game. His explosive first step and vertical pop make him a nightmare to guard, while his control and IQ help him finish through contact despite his size. On defense, he plays bigger than his frame, cutting off driving lanes and contesting shots with excellent timing. Jones thrives in up-tempo systems and pressing defenses, where his motor and pace create chaos for opponents. As his jumper keeps improving, he projects as a strong lead guard for mid-major college programs. Built for the grind, [player_tooltip player_id='1592891' first='Jacori' last='Jones'] plays with a chip on his shoulder and the competitive fire every coach wants.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1779015' first='Caden' last='Deffebaugh'], a 6'5" shooting guard has the kind of shooting touch that every college coach looks for. He's a confident rhythm scorer with smooth footwork and an advanced understanding of the game. Deffebaugh moves well without the ball, using smart spacing and quick reads to get open and make defenses pay. His elite catch-and-shoot ability and steady motor make him a consistent threat from deep. He fits perfectly in motion or drive-and-kick offenses, projecting as a reliable shooter who can stretch the floor at the next level. When he's dialed in, the net barely moves—a pure shooter with real college-ready tools.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2909124' first='Cameron' last='Crenshaw'], 6'8" forward. This kid's a turning into straight dog, owning the paint on both ends. Period. Elite shot-blocking? Check. Rebounding instincts? Check. On offense, dude runs the floor with serious purpose. Catches lobs in stride like it's nothing. Finishes through contact with that authority every coach wants to see. Crenshaw's bounce and timing or different level from most bigs his age. Real two-way impact. As his touch and offensive polish keep growing, that ceiling just keeps rising. Built for the grind. Cameron plays with power, control, and motor every coach dreams about. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2532530' first='Rushton' last='Budge'] 6'3″ shooting guard. Already stands out in Central Texas Basketball. He keeps defenses honest with his sharp shooting and strong off-ball movement, always finding space to get looks. On defense, he shows awareness, tracking cutters, contesting without fouling, and staying active in rotations. His mechanics and shot preparation separate him — when he gets hot, he takes over. Budge fits perfectly in systems that value catch-and-shoot wings and motion spacing. Every time he steps on the floor, he brings smart energy and a pure scorer's mindset.</p>

His quickness allows him to get into lanes and create momentum before defenses can adapt. He attacks aggressively, pushing tempo and forcing defenders into decisions they don't want to make. On defense, Kanaan stays active, contests without fouling, and plays with that “never back down” mindset. He fits systems that want a spark-plug lead guard who can pressure and move the ball. </p>
