Here are a few standouts that caught our attention throughout the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jayden Lacey","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Turner Ashby HS","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"VA Havoc","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a034256c7f5f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jayden Lacey continues to look like one of the more intriguing under-the-radar prospects in Virginia's 2027 class. At 6-foot-6, he brings a ton of versatility to the wing position and impacts the game on both ends of the floor. Lacey can really stretch the floor with his shooting ability and showed confidence knocking down shots from beyond the arc throughout the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What stands out most is the combination of length, skill, and versatility. He rebounds well for his position, finishes effectively around the basket, and has the tools to guard multiple positions defensively. As he continues to add strength and gain exposure, he's a player college programs should continue tracking closely heading into the live period.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2898023"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a034256c7fa3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chris Tabb once again proved why he's regarded as one of the top scoring guards in the Richmond area. The lefty averaged around 16 points per game during the weekend and consistently made tough shots at all three levels. Tabb's ability to change speeds and keep defenders off balance allows him to create space both at the rim and from the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's much more than just a shooter, though. Tabb has a strong feel for the game and does a great job balancing scoring with playmaking responsibilities. Whether it's creating for teammates or taking over stretches offensively, he continues to produce at a high level. His consistency this spring has been impressive, and he'll definitely be a name college coaches continue to monitor this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2853450"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a034256c7fc7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2853450' first='Farrell' last='Djossinou'] had one of the best weekends of anyone in attendance, averaging 20 points per game while helping lead his squad to a 4-0 record and a championship at the Richmond Rumble. The athletic wing impacted the game in a variety of ways and consistently filled up the stat sheet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Djossinou runs the floor extremely well, rebounds at a high level, and can score from multiple areas on the floor. He's effective attacking downhill, finishes through contact, and also showed the ability to knock down perimeter shots. His energy and versatility were major reasons for his team's success throughout the event, and he continues to establish himself as a high-level prospect heading into the live period.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2709258"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a034256c7fe7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaxon Dollar may be one of the better overall athletes in the region regardless of sport. The 6-foot-5 wing showcased why he's drawing Division I interest in both basketball and football with an explosive weekend performance for Team Accelerate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dollar thrives in transition, plays above the rim, and brings tremendous energy on both ends of the floor. He caught multiple alley-oop finishes, rebounded outside of his area, and used his athleticism to impact winning in a big way. What makes him even more intriguing is that he's not just an athlete — he can also step out and knock down shots from the perimeter. His upside is extremely high, and he'll be a fun prospect to watch continue developing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Reeko Harris","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Brooke Point","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"DMV Impact","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a034256c8028"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reeko Harris quietly put together a very productive weekend for DMV Impact, averaging 15 points per game while helping his team finish 2-1. The 6-foot-7 forward brings good size, physicality, and a versatile skill set that allows him to impact games in several different ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harris showed soft touch around the rim, solid footwork in the post, and the ability to score efficiently inside. He rebounds well, plays with physicality, and consistently competes on both ends throughout the weekend. He's still somewhat under the radar, but his production and steady improvement continue to make him a prospect worth monitoring closely this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
