Elijah Bryan
Elijah Bryan
Bryan is a long-armed guard with broad shoulders. He is a good finisher around the rim with either hand. Bryan showed that he can make outside jumpers and is capable of creating space on the perimeter as well.
Cadin is a versatile southpaw guard who plays with toughness. He helped his team control the glass and looked to get paint touches regularly. Cadin was at his best when scoring from 15-feet and in.
Davenport showcased tremendous touch from the outside. He hit a handful of threes from various spots. Davenport also had some crafty finishes around the rim.
Donovan was another big who displayed confidence in his outside jumper. He hit an array of long range bombs and did not hesitate to let it fly. Donovan played consistently hard on both ends of the floor. He ran with purpose and provided some rim protection as well.

Fuller (pictured above), was one of our favorite finds from this event. He is a skilled guard who can score it from all three levels. Fuller does not get sped up and knows how to change pace to keep defenders off balance.
Garcia was another promising find from this showcase. He was effective at getting downhill and finishing in the lane or stopping and popping. Garcia is also capable of hitting the outside shot and also incorporates the occasional floater into his vast offensive arsenal.
Giandrea seemed to be one of the more productive performers at the showcase. He converted many second chance opportunities by attacking the offensive glass aggressively. Giandrea made a difference defensively as well by taking a charge and forcing multiple turnovers.
Johnson got into the lane at will throughout the day by keeping his dribble alive. He exhibited solid footwork and nice touch when finishing in the paint. Whenever Johnson got a steal or a rebound, he looked to push it quickly in transition.
Ben Kobil
Ben Kobil
Kobil caught our eye as a result of a consistently strong run of play on Saturday. He is a smart mover off the ball and is shot ready upon receipt. Kobil had multiple finishes in the lane and hit at least 1 spot up three.
Lathrop played with relentless effort and intensity. He moved constantly without the ball and was effective at playing off two feet in the paint. Lathrop did a nice job using pump fakes to keep foes guessing.
Ajani Lomax
Ajani Lomax
Lomax filled it up at the event. He hit multiple three-pointers but was perhaps most effective at getting to his spots from the in-between areas.
Lawrence Marshall
Lawrence Marshall
Marshall is a hidden gem who shined at this event. He shot the ball confidently and converted at a high rate. Marshall also got to the basket with relative ease where he finished regularly.
Connor Mitchell
Connor Mitchell
Mitchell is a taller guard who got to the basket at will. He had multiple finishes at the rim and did not mind contact at all.
Andrew Nields
Andrew Nields
Nields was one of the more effective two way players in attendance. He is a big guard who is strong at the point of attack defensively. Nields scored from many spots on the floor and played with high energy at all times.
Pugh was easily one of the more pesky defenders we saw at Catholic. He consistently picked up full court and turned his man frequently. Pugh also hit a couple of threes, made several layups, and looked to get others open shots.
Christopher Richards Christopher Richards 6'3" | SG Bullis | 2025 State MD

Richards was one of the more promising long-term prospects at the showcase. He is a taller guard with a smooth offensive game. Richards shot it well from three, got to his spots from the mid-range, and had some nice finishes in the paint as well.
