The Mid-Atlantic Regional Finals showcased impressive shooting, with prospects demonstrating consistency and a high level of confidence throughout their opportunities. College coaches value shooting at every level, and the players listed below impressed me throughout the weekend. Eli Cortes | Team Ice 17 - He knocks down open threes and fully takes advantage of every opportunity. Defenses often lose track of him, and he consistently makes them pay. [player_tooltip player_id='3632196' first='Henry' last='Smith'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2078593' first='United' last='NJ'] 17U Select - He shot it well and wasn't shy about letting it fly to open the game. His consistency quickly drew attention, and defenders began locking in on him every time he caught the ball on the perimeter. Josiah Andino | Young Sports Unlimited 16U - He knocked down a catch and shoot three from the right wing serving as a major shooting threat. He shot the ball fluidly and always looked shot‑ready on the perimeter. [player_tooltip player_id='2971364' first='Jaxon' last='Carter'] | Young Sports Unlimited 16U - Like his counterpart, defenses have to respect his shooting ability. He operated as a reliable spot up threat, consistently knocking down threes from both the corners and the wings. [player_tooltip player_id='3587678' first='Charlie' last='Saunders'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2078593' first='United' last='NJ'] 16U Select -He contributed as a versatile player and also showcased his ability to stretch the floor with his shooting.

He also hit a right wing pull up three in transition after bringing the ball up from the top of the key. His range is unlimited.
