Highlighting Next Level Talent from Bossier Invitational

In part 2 of the Bossier Invitational the talent continues to show and prove in front of the hometown crowd. From local players to those that traveled across Texas to compete there is a lot to be proud of from fans, scouts, coaches and parents. Here are some of the players that made a big difference on the hardwood.    Dixon ran the show for EG3 and is one of the main reasons for the victory. He managed the team and hit players in their spots putting players in position to shoot in rhythm. When he was not facilitating he was knocking down shots to keep the defense honest. On defense he was tough and relentless. He is surely a next level talent that can make an impact for a college program.     Dillard is growing into his role at Bossier and his ability to score the ball and make things happen is carrying over to the game. Initially he locked in doing the small things required to win like defending, rebounding, facilitating and knocking down shots. This weekend, he locked in and scored the ball. He was aggressive with the ball in his hands and for those watching him play it is easy to see why he is one of the top players in the 2027 class. His ability to score is not about taking a lot of shots, he does it all efficiently, and he can do it from anywhere on the court. Dillard is a next level talent and will only improve as he grows more comfortable in the Bossier offense     Parker has struggled forward this season and may have just found his way to the other side of adversity. It is well known strategy to guard him when he steps in the gym, but this season has been met with some trials for Parker and his scoring has suffered. Well. This weekend he found his footing and showed what happens when it all comes together. There are no shortcuts to greatness and his 35 point performance vs Ruston is one that will be remembered for a long time. His explosives was on full display, and the kid was unguardable. His ability to knock down shots puts him in the conversation with the best in the state regardless of class, and if this weekend is an indicator of what is to come, watch out. He is playing with a chip on his shoulder, and being at the top with something to prove is a dangerous combination.     Major was one of the best players in the gym and his next level potential is clear. He is an elite ball handler, and on top of that he is fun to watch. He plays the game with a high IQ constantly making the right basketball decisions and he just tough guard. He is one of the best guards I have watched this year and coaches looking for a next level talent should tap in. He is a high level shooter in addition to his ability to score the ball. No flaws in his game, and I dare say the kid has an even higher ceiling. Watching kids that play with an edge and have fun on the court is in short supply of todays game, and his confidence is through the roof making him one of those guys you hear about, but don't get to see in every gym.     Joseph is a versatile wing player with post skills as well as elite abilities from the wing. He knocked down some three point shots, but was most effective getting down hill and finishing strong. He checks all the boxes for a next level player to include size, skill, athleticism and an extremely high motor. He battled vs a top 20 national player and looked comfortable on both sides of the ball. He is another next level talent that is surely flying under the radar but it does not take long to see his potential. He has college size right now, and at the the next level his an immediate impact player.
