Jarrell Colbert | 6’4 F | NLU 2025
One of the more fundamental players in the gym on Saturday. Another defensive standout from a well rounded NLU 2025 team. Whether it was closing out and recovering, boxing out, getting a hand up on a shooter, he was doing it. Tenacious rebounder on both sides of the floor and able finisher through contact down low. Definite glue guy for NLU.
Landon Verdin | 5’10 G | North Texas Storm Elite 2025
Verdin was another very impressive player on the defensive end. Tireless on-ball defending and was all over the place trapping. Offensively had a pure shot and was able to attack the basketball with a nice handle Fantastic two-way guard.
Ezekyel Shaw | 6’2 G | I AM 3 Prospects 2025
Ezekyel is a pretty all around guy for I AM 3. Can play 2-4 respectfully and is a threat from just about everywhere. Showed great downhill attacks along with some exciting finishes. Very high energy player who brings a lot to the table.
Grant Loper | 6’0 G | RSE Basketball 2025
Loper is a very slithery finisher to go along with a solid handle. Aggressive on-ball defender and was getting deflections in the full court press. He has a great layup package with his left hand but can finish with his right just as good. To go along with that he’s got superb touch around the rim and was very poised under pressure.
Israel Towns-Robinson | 6’3 F | Arkansas Select 2025
Towns-Robinson showed a huge presence down low. Excellent, strong build with a ton of bounce. Saw a couple of hammers and a few via Twitter and this kid can jump. Very mobile and athletic for his age and size. He will be tough to stop against slower bigs.
