<p>This past Sophomore ID Camp had some of the top scouted players in the state, and we quickly got to know a handful of newer names who deserve to be among those highly recognized prospects as well. After taking into consideration our live evaluations and reviewing the tape from the weekend, we have landed on 12 All-Showcase performers. Take a look at six of these 12 players and stash these names as some impact prospects in this 2029 class.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">We saw Jones last season as a strong downhill, penetrating guard who was already having an impact at Everett. He continued to abuse defenders in a similar manner at the camp, but also displayed some better off-hand finishing, as well as a little more poise and balance to create better looks from his physical play. Just did a great job sizing up his options and deciding whether to go quick when he had an edge inside, or take an extra beat and get to space around multiple bodies in the paint. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Epeneter was one of the more intriguing "first-time watches" we saw at the camp. He immediately stood out with his fluidity and some playmaking in the open court, and continued to stand out with his versatility to stretch the floor, create some off the dribble, and be a presence around the rim with rebounding and some shot-blocking. Will be a player to watch at Northwest Christian this year, along with fellow underclassmen [player_tooltip player_id='3723666' first='Kellen' last='McDaniel'] who showed out at our Freshman Showcase.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Annie Wright point guard immediately looked to be a step ahead of the field at the camp in regards to his court recognition and ability to see, react, and execute. Got into gaps under control, made shots from different levels when he had space, and played with a good motor on both ends of the floor. Did what you expect out of a point guard, set the tone, controlled pace, and was active/positive with his voice and body language as well as his play.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of a handful of Annie Wright Gators making an appearance at our fall showcases, Lin has the potential to take a big step forward this winter. His size and strength allowed him to play out of different spots at the camp, but he also demonstrated the awareness, spatial control, and decision-making that helped him be a factor from all over the court. Scored from different approaches and was keeping the ball flowing in the half court with good skips and picking out cutters.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Surge brought big-time energy to the camp and was an influential player simply with his effort on both ends. He made quick moves off the catch, didn't take any pause in switching from offense to defense, and was ready to pick up full court which led to some turnovers and gave his team life. He shot it pretty well from 3-point range too, and just showed a desire to compete, a willingness to leave it all out there, and an ability to impress himself upon the game.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Washington was one of the smoother scorers at the event. He showed the ability to cash in from each level, and was pretty confident and controlled when picking his spots and getting where he wanted to go. A lot of that was due to his strength with the ball. He was able to separate in the midrange, go to a post up game closer in, and could hold defenders off on his drives. Displayed some great touch too and has the look of a natural scorer. Loved to see him bring energy on the defensive end in spots too, where he was able to help shift momentum and get his teammates to pick up their efforts.</p>
