E1T1 Invitational Standouts (Part 3)
Jake Perper
E1T1 United held a tournament this weekend at The Big House in Tavares, Fla. Teams from across the state and the U.S. took part from youth to high school age.
Friday night opened up the tourney with games on Saturday and the bracketed rounds went down on Sunday in front of a big crowd.
Here are the top standouts from the E1T1 Invitational (Part 3).
Ahren Freeman (E1T1)
For E1T1 16U, Ahren Freeman brings leadership and overall smarts to the group. The 2019 Providence forward had a couple of really nice sequences in the paint. The 6'4" rising junior attacks smoothly and with smart guards around him like Tre Mann, the benefit is clear. Freeman, a former Bishop Snyder starter transferred to Providence last season. He currently has FGCU as his lone offer. That will change here soon.
Jadrian Tracey (E1T1)
Another E1T1 athlete made this standout list. Jadrian Tracey is a big kid for a 2020 athlete and a member of the 15U squad. Alongside his Southwest Florida Christian teammate Cayden Baker, Tracey impressed this weekend. At 6'5", 180 lbs., he isn't your typical freshman. He's a gifted ballhandler and out on the wing is where he feels most comfortable. This is a huge summer for Tracey as he takes full control of his offensive work.
Immanuel Crump (Elite Ballers)
At Norland, there is a rising senior who is really good. Immanuel Crump stands at 6'7" and has a very nice skill set as an offensive weapon. Playing for the 17U Elite Ballers this weekend, his team didn't fare well for the most part, but he flourished against a tough E1T1 17U group. Crump averaged 5.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in a rotational this past season. He will expand his game during travel season.
Matthew Sokol (EYSF Panthers)
For the EYSF Panthers 16U team, Matthew Sokol really shined. He played hard, attacking and hitting from outside. Sokol is a rising junior at Boone who earned time off the bench this past season at times. He is a very talented 3-point shooter and should get ample opportunities this summer to do just that.
Denari Garrett (Skills Center Elite)
Denari Garrett is a wing loaded with athleticism. At 6'6", his body is filling out and he had made some really tough shots this weekend. Skills Center Elite 17U is a team that fits Garrett's game very well. At Sickles, he forced himself into the starting lineup and I expect him to force college coaches to give him looks this summer.
