The 6'4" wing from Hot Springs earned Top 80 recognition at the Crossroads Elite Invitational, making noise as a hustling two-way presence who plays hard every possession. His skill development this summer shows cleaner footwork, stronger ball-handling on the drive, and better decision-making. He's emerging as a high-upside prospect with real momentum.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194618"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6892b90827863"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'5" wing from Benton earned Top 80 honors at the prestigious Crossroads Elite Invitational and did so with a blend of athletic polish and natural feel that scouts love the feel of his long-term potential. He passes the eye test with his frame and movements, and he's assertive off the bounce with the kind of control wings need at the highest levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2422333"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6892b908278bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cal Jr. continues to meet expectations as one of the youngest and most composed guards in the gym. The Benton point guard earned Top 80 honors at the Crossroads Elite Invitational. Beyond scoring, he initiates actions, reads defenses, and delivers clean, timely passes. With his grit, IQ, and offensive maturity, he is tracking as one of the top creators in Arkansas high school basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2885497"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6892b90827907"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Liam is intriguing because he sees the game years ahead of his skill. The 5'11" combo guard from Marion earned a spot in the Top 80 at the Crossroads Elite Invitational by showcasing an advanced feel off the bounce and fearless creativity against older competition. While still raw in terms of polish and physicality, Liam's IQ shines brightest: he's good at attacking closeouts and consistently makes plays that create for teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2441317"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6892b90827952"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ethan's consistent progress has paid off lately as he earned a spot in the Top 80 at the Crossroads Elite Invitational in Kansas. The recognition wasn't just about potential, in my opinion; it was a reflection of execution. His combination of length, maturity, and pace-control makes him one of the class's and state's most reliable floor generals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
