<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Coast 2 Coast National Camp brought together talent from across the country, providing a platform for some of the game's brightest young prospects to showcase their skills</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">against quality competition. Throughout the weekend, players competed, learned, and elevated their games, but several prospects separated themselves with their performances. Whether it was scoring, playmaking, leadership, or simply finding ways to impact winning, these players took full advantage of the stage and left a lasting impression…</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christopher Joshua, III. (5'0/CG/2034/Honor Dallas)</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Christopher emerged as one of the most talented young scorers in his age division. The talented combo guard displayed a budding offensive package and consistently found ways to create scoring opportunities for himself. His ball-handling ability allowed him to break defenders down and get to his spots on the floor, where he showed confidence and efficiency as a scorer. What stood out most was his ability to operate in iso situations. He showed advanced creativity with the basketball and demonstrated a natural understanding of how to create separation and operate in space.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Jeremiah B. Mason (4'8/PG/2034/Honor Dallas)</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">From the jump, Jeremiah played with an attacking mentality. The young PG was relentless in his pursuit of the paint and constantly put pressure on opposing defenses. He never backed away from contact and repeatedly forced defenders into difficult situations with his aggressive downhill style of play. What made Jeremiah particularly effective was his developing finishing package. He displayed touch and creativity around the basket, utilizing floaters, runners, and crafty finishes to score in the paint and in traffic.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Jeremiah Hawkins (4'5/PG/2035/SKY 7 Team Elite)</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the younger prospects who caught attention throughout the weekend was Jeremiah. Despite his youth, he already shows a natural feel for the lead guard position. While there is still plenty of development ahead, the foundation is clearly visible. He demonstrated an understanding of pace, ball control, and how to create opportunities with the basketball in his hands. He consistently got into the paint and made defenders uncomfortable with his quickness and ability to change directions. Opponents struggled to keep him in front, and his ability to generate paint touches created opportunities for both himself and his teammates.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">LaDerick “DJ” Daniels Jr. (5'9/CG/2031/Team Touch)</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">LaDerick showcased one of the more complete budding floor games among the guards in attendance. While he demonstrated the ability to play both on and off the ball, he was at his best when he was orchestrating the offense and controlling the pace of the game. His court vision immediately stood out as he consistently identified opportunities before they developed and delivered on-time and on-target passes. His ability to see the floor and process the game at a high level allowed him to create quality opportunities for teammates throughout the camp.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Levi Roberts-Guity (6'4/G|F/2031/Tre Mann Elite)</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Levi possesses the type of size and length that immediately catches your attention. With good positional versatility, he consistently leveraged his physical tools to make an impact. He excelled in transition where he was able to use his athleticism and length to finish effectively around the basket. One of the most impressive aspects of his game was his ability to find scoring opportunities even when offensive flow stalled, a common occurrence in camp settings. Rather than standing and watching possessions unfold, he remained active, moved without the ball, and found ways to put himself in scoring positions.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Quincy Cook Jr. (5'9/PG/2030/Expressions Elite) </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Quincy embodied many of the qualities coaches look for in a true point guard. The talented floor general consistently demonstrated a pass-first mentality while keeping his team organized and involved offensively. He displayed a mature understanding of how to run a team and made a conscious effort to ensure teammates received opportunities to contribute. His court vision and passing ability stood out throughout the weekend. He often delivered accurate passes on-time and on- target, whether in transition, the half-court, or out of dribble penetration. His ability to see plays develop and distribute the basketball efficiently helped elevate the play of those around him.</span>
