Live Period Guide: 17U UAA DMV Prospects

The only live recruiting period will take place this weekend, so throughout this week I'll be rolling out guides for the various circuits and age levels for college coaches to keep track of. The UAA Circuit will take place in Hamilton, OH.   Below are the prospect that should be on radars.   <a href="https://prephoops.com/2026/05/live-period-guide-17u-3ssb-dmv-prospects/">For 3SSB 17U DMV prospects, click here.</a>   <a href="https://prephoops.com/2026/05/live-period-guard-17u-eybl-dmv-prospects/">For EYBL 17U DMV prospects, click here.</a>   '27 [player_tooltip player_id='2194337' first='Darrell' last='Davis'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill']   One of the premier names on this circuit is Davis, the ultra-shifty, tough lead guard who breathes winning into any team he takes the floor with. He has Thrill entering S2 with an unscathed 4-0 record and will be the bell cow in continuing their pursuit of a UAA title. The headlining game of this weekend for Thrill will be their matchup against Middlesex Magic, as the two programs are always battling in July for final four/championship bragging rights. Davis' dynamism on the ball combined with his pesky aggression defensively make for a point guard that can truly control the tempo and dictate energy for his team.   '27 [player_tooltip player_id='2353583' first='Damon' last='Nelson'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2078456' first='DC' last='Premier']   Premier has a four-game slate that will give good indication as to how the remainder of circuit play will go for them. They mixture of middle of the pack matchups with one thrown in against and undefeated team on the B side in KC Run GMC. the play from Nelson at the point guard position will go a long way and ultimately impact how successful they are. Nelson showed good flashes in S1 with his command and confidence on the ball, but putting together multiple games of consistency will ultimately be what moves the needle for both his team and his individual stock. A smooth operator who gets to spot and relies on a pretty pull-up jumper, he can demand much of the defenses attention when he's aggressively attacking on ball screens or getting downhill. Making the correct secondary reads, lifting up his team defensively and making the defense pay from deep could all be categorized as the 'swing' skills here.   '27 Samartine Hill | [program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill']   Hill forms the hellacious backcourt duo with Davis as two smaller guards who can dictate a game with their defensive on-ball pressure. In S1, the two wore down opposing guards and when games came down to the wire, that fatigue and mental toughness that it takes to get the ball up the floor every possession while having to maintain security against their relentless, quick hands eventually results in a few turnovers that they can generate into points at the other end. Hill has blazing end-to-end speed, plays with immense torque from the point of attack and has improved with his balance pulling the trigger off the dribble.   '26 Bryton Barrett | [program_tooltip program_id='2078456' first='DC' last='Premier']   Barrett is one of the remaining available seniors that is keeping all options on the table in terms of where his next stop will be. He's heard from a handful of Division I programs looking for a late-blooming prospect with length to come in and embrace a developmental role, but my thoughts with Barrett remain in that he could be one that blooms ahead of schedule in the right culture. Elsewhere, JuCo programs are in hot pursuit as are post-grad prep schools, both of which could allow him to develop into a legitimate prospect that could jump into a rotation two years from now at the Division I level. Coaches will evaluate his progress this weekend in how he plays through contact, uses his length to disrupt actions defensively and the efficiency in which he converts on open looks from three   '27 [player_tooltip player_id='2454529' first='Junior' last='Mancho'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill']   A vocal anchor. That's how I'd describe Mancho, but what has impressed me over the last year is how he's improved with his burst and fluidity from a mobility perspective. He plays within his capabilities and as he usually does, set effective on-ball screens for guys like Davis, Hill and [player_tooltip player_id='2889373' first='Jay' last='Green'] to operate off of. He rolls to the rim with purpose, keeps a wide base on seals and is getting better with catching passes from small windows. Defensively he's the quarterback of the backline. You'll always hear him alarming his guards with screen coverages or if any players are sneaking along the baseline. He's a prideful rebounder who quickly looks to outlet to guards before putting his head down to sprint for rim runs.   '27 [player_tooltip player_id='2639998' first='Brandon' last='Brooks'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2078456' first='DC' last='Premier']   Coming off a productive high school season leading his team to an impressive 27-1 record, Brooks made the move to Premier and the UAA Circuit where he should help his stock as an imposing, 6-foot-6 forward who uses his frame to exploit mismatches in the mid-post area. He's an extremely confident scorer who can surprise defenders that aren't up to date with the scouting report with his ability to do it from all three levels. He isn't going to rely on athleticism, but there simply aren't many players that can match his ability to sustain leverage around the rim on seals or putting himself in position for boards. He'll take a fair share of fallaway jumpers from 10-to-15 feet that will make some feel are inefficient looks, but trust and believe me when I say he's made a killing off these sort of shots over the past two years.   '27 [player_tooltip player_id='2889373' first='Jay' last='Green'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill']   Green was a seamless addition to the Thrill organization and it all stems with his intensity and will to win every time he takes the floor. He's a true pit bull type of guard that, on this team, can play on or off the ball. He doesn't allow his offensive production to hinder his energy on the defensive end, which adds yet another vicious option for head coach Mookie Dobbins to wear down the opposing backcourt. Where Green adds value on the offensive end is his adaptability with his on/off ball role. He can spot up from the perimeter and cash in on three's with space.   '27 [player_tooltip player_id='2629848' first='Kyle' last='Logan'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2078456' first='DC' last='Premier']   Logan garners intrigue with the eye test as a 6-foot-5 guard/wing with a frame that tracks to fill out nicely in the college ranks. His offensive game consists of an balanced attack and while he hasn't reached elite status in any specific facet to this point, there's value in being a capable scorer from multiple levels at a good clip. He can toggle between multiple spots defensively with his blend of size, length and athleticism. Scoring with efficiency, being a menace on defense and impacting the glass will be a formula to generate some college recruitment as a guy to monitor for the remainder of the summer.   '27 Braydon Young | [program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill']   Young brings some of the more valuable aspects in today's game for a 6-foot-7 nearly 6-foot-8 wing and that's the ability to space the floor at a high level. He's improved since transferring to PVI and served as a catch-and-shoot threat for guys like Jordan Smith Jr. and Lawrence Brown to find on paint touches. Young possesses instincts as an off-ball mover with good timing on lifts, fades or even as a pick-and-pop option. His game off the bounce is still somewhat in its beginning stages, but doubling down on what he does best will be the pathway to college programs easily fitting him into their idea of a floor-spacing wing that could spend time at the four down the road.   '27 [player_tooltip player_id='2454543' first='Chase' last='Hogg'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2078456' first='DC' last='Premier']   Hogg can provide some stability within the offense for Premier when things get shaky. He's another guard on this list that can adapt well to playing on or off the ball. With Nelson on the floor, he typically plays off the ball and presents as a reliable shooter off the catch or a guy who can attack closeouts and play off two in the paint. He's a stout defender that is active in passing lanes and could make up some ground here this weekend to build stock as a name for colleges to see in June when he takes the floor with Gonzaga in a senior leadership role.   '27 [player_tooltip player_id='2454548' first='Tayron' last='Malonga'] | [program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill']   The upside and potential with Malonga remain, but college programs will be watching closely for it to turn into production this weekend. He brings positional size as a wing at 6-foot-7 with, in spurts, overwhelming athleticism when he is playing in an open floor setting or rising up for a chase down block. He'll flash some skill away from the rim offensively, but for this team, serves his purpose and role as a lob-catching hybrid forward that can disrupt as the top defender in their full court trapping press.   '27 David Lunn III | [program_tooltip program_id='2077005' first='Team' last='Thrill']   The Swiss army knife for Dobbins on this roster as Lunn can spend time as the two or the three with his size and strong frame. The 6-foot-4 rising senior had a loud high school season at Volcano Vista (NM) and has played with the same sense of confidence for Thrill. He's a high IQ all-around player who can make sound reads as a distributor, can use his bullish frame to play at the rim on drives and has shown some positive signs with his jumper over the last month or so. His versatility and toughness have already demanding the attention of Division I programs and a productive weekend that results in winning will only fuel that further.
