Future Faces of the Game: Team 5 Makes Their Mark at PHExpoAL

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The <strong>Prep Hoops Alabama Expo</strong> was full of standouts, and <strong>Team 5</strong> was no exception. This group combined energy, skill, and toughness, producing one of the more complete rosters of the day. Here is a detailed look at how each player made an impact…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2983833,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/TP-Grant-Scherer.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/TP-Grant-Scherer.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2983833" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2610204' first='Grant' last='Scherer']</strong> (5'10/SG/'26/Bessemer Academy) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: grant_scherer10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @grant_scherer10</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Grant showed his ability to shoot the three-ball, to be a reliable floor spacer, and a catch-and-shoot threat. Defenders who lost track of him paid the price, as he consistently buried open looks. I spoke with the new coaching staff, and they are looking for Grant to be a leader on and off the floor and to provide offensive production from the perimeter with his shooting ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2983836,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Keishaun-Quarles-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Keishaun-Quarles-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2983836" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2891289' first='Keishaun' last='Quarles']</strong> (5'11/PG/'29/Pisgah) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: getlike.kei</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @kei10378</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Keishaun played with a talented group of players in 5v5 at the camp, and it was challenging at times to get his hands on the ball. However, when he did, he showed his ability to initiate the offense and keep it fluid. Despite being one of the younger players in camp, he demonstrated a budding ability to create off the bounce, as well as a good understanding of how to move without the ball and find opportunities within the flow of the offense to create scoring opportunities or open up opportunities for his teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2983838,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/TP-Tre-Pittman.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/TP-Tre-Pittman.jpeg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2983838" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194716' first='Tre' last='Pittman']</strong> (6'2/CG/'28/Pelham) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: tp3.pittman</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @trepittman2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Tre was hands down one of the top perimeter prospects who were at camp. He is an outstanding talent with a potent scoring arsenal. He put tremendous pressure on the rim and proved to be a shot maker who can create his own offense. His gravity pull had defenses trying to collapse and shrink the floor, but Tre showed a headiness and a maturity in his game and took the perimeter jumper from the midi as well as behind the arc. When defenders had to focus on not helping, Tre took advantage, and there was nearly no one in camp who could keep him out of the paint.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2983839,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/TP-Bray-Brooks.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/TP-Bray-Brooks.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2983839" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2748712' first='Bray' last='Brooks']</strong> (5'10/PG/'28/JCA) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @BrayBrooks_1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Bray was one of the players who made a name for himself in front of the Prep Hoops scouts. He is a small guard but made a two-way impact. He is extremely quick off the bounce and has a lot of shiftiness in his game, which helps him to live in the paint, where he demonstrated a really good ability to be a high-end decision maker in tight spaces. He is a tough shot-maker, vocal on both ends of the floor, and for a long stretch, was one of the best players on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2983841,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/TP-Khalil-Luster.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/TP-Khalil-Luster.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2983841" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194652' first='Khalil' last='Luster']</strong> (6'8/F|C/'28/Red Bay) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: khalil_oneal</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @KhalilLuster</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">I do not know anyone in Alabama who has had a better off-season than Khalil, as he has garnered several D1 offers and is showing an improved and versatile overall game. He is shooting it well from the perimeter, showing he can put it on the floor, and punishing defenders on the low block. He is a versatile ball-screen threat, as he can pop as a shooter and roll and seal his defender with a deep post-up. He has soft hands to catch tough passes, and in the paint, he has great patience when making his moves and reading how defenses are guarding him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2983842,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Johnivon-Williams-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Johnivon-Williams-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2983842" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2748313' first='Johnivon' last='Williams']</strong> (6'4/Wing/'28/Ramsay) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: johnivonn</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @_johnivonwilliams</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Johnivon has good positional size at the wing position. He is a slasher who constantly knifed his way to the cup and made plays off the bounce. He is a playmaking wing with scoring tools and the ability to impact the game with his sneaky athleticism.&nbsp; He showed a quick first step, which allowed him to get downhill effectively, and he was capable of beating defenders off the bounce and creating separation in tight spaces.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2983845,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Jonathan-Trey-Bright-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/10/PH-Jonathan-Trey-Bright-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2983845" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2978326' first='Jonathan' last='“Trey” Bright']</strong> (6'6/F/'27/Albertville) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: treybright33</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @TreyBright0823</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jonathan was an interior presence who stood out with his ability to provide production on the glass, challenge potential scorers at the rim with his length, and a developing ability to score on the low block and around the rim. His length was what really helped him impact the game on both ends of the floor, and he showed a good recognition of mismatches and how to exploit the mouse in the house matched up against him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
