<p class="text-gray-700">One of the most explosive guards in the 2029 class, Alexander was a big winner from Team USA minicamp. It's so tough to stay in front of Alexander at the point of attack as he can blow by his man with ease. I'm a fan of guards who have the extra gear athletically and Alexander certainly has that. Not surprised Alexander ended up with a program like Nightrydas, they love those super athletes and look to run you out the gym in transition and that's exactly the tope of basketball Alexander thrives in. Alabama has had some top prospects pop up over the past five years and Alexander looks to be next in that group.</p>

<p>One of the youngest 2029 prospects in the country, Irby has so much long-term potential and he seems to improve each time I watch him play. With long and fluid strides from the wing position and elite shot-making ability, Irby had a big summer for Indy Heat as he helped the 15 U team qualify for the Peach Jam. Irby followed up the summer with an excellent performance at Team USA minicamp as his flashes have started to become more consistent. I wouldn't be surprised if Irby doesn't pass a handful of the guys ranked ahead of him on other websites in the next two years.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Costley was high level at Team USA minicamp as that was my first opportunity to watch the number one ranked 2029 prospect in Maryland. I liked the competitiveness that Costley showed, as basically everybody who comes from the Team Thrill program is going to be tough. Costley can make shots on the perimeter, which gives him off ball value, but he can also get his team organized and run the offense. Costley seems like a high floor prospect due to his toughness, basketball IQ and skill level, which has me buying him right now as a long-term prospect.</p>
