Next Gen Houston: Where Potential Turned into Production

The final installment of the GASO Next Gen coverage for me. One of the deepest collections of underclass talent in the state. From polished guards to emerging bigs, the gym was packed with players showing skill, poise, and purpose well beyond their years.    Ephraim Moore is a 6'8” forward plays with control, strength, and purpose. He keeps the ball high and secure, protecting possessions and finishing plays with poise under pressure. Around the rim, he's physical—absorbing contact and still converting tough shots in traffic. On the glass, Moore rebounds with authority and immediately looks to push the pace, starting fast breaks with accurate outlet passes. With continued growth in agility, shooting range, and defensive versatility, Ephraim has the tools to become one of the premier frontcourt prospects in the Class of 2028.     [player_tooltip player_id='2446638' first='Eden' last='Onwe'] stands 6' 6" has real deal toughness mixed with polish you don't see every day. He attacks contact like it's nothing and doesn't quit on possessions. You'll catch him cleaning up other folks' misses and finishing strong on second efforts because that's what grinders do. From deep, Onwe's got that reliable stroke that keeps defenders honest and opens up the lane for his squad. In the paint, the kid explodes with balance. This is a mix of strength, touch, and doing everything on both ends!     [player_tooltip player_id='2557761' first='Aiden' last='Clark']. [player_tooltip player_id='2557630' first='6'0' last='']" This kid plays with straight toughness and won't quit energy on offense. Attacks the rim hard. Uses his balance and body control to finish tough looks even when he's getting bumped or challenged. Aiden's got strength and that grind-it-out determination. Scores through contact. Converts and-one chances that flip momentum real quick. His downhill pressure makes defenses scramble and rotate. Creates looks for himself and his teammates. Fearless. High motor.     [player_tooltip player_id='2546876' first='Gavin' last='Peck'] stands 6'3" and attacks the glass like he's got something to prove. This guard rebounds with forward mentality, then pushes that rock up court before you blink. Quick eyes, quicker hands - he creates buckets in transition when defenses are still jogging back. From deep? Pure. Smooth stroke, perfect balance, makes defenders respect that range or pay the price. On the other end. Guards multiple spots on the perimeter, stays low, moves his feet, and contests everything that comes his way. The kid brings it on both ends - rebounds, shoots the lights out, and locks down defensively. That's the kind of two-way player that wins games, period.       Jace Tolliver is a 6'3” guard who plays with power, poise, and a scorer's mentality. He attacks the rim with aggression, finishing through contact and turning physical plays into scoring opportunities. His explosiveness in traffic and ability to change pace make him a constant downhill threat that keeps defenses off balance. From the perimeter, Toliver's confident stroke adds range to his game, forcing opponents to guard him honestly at all three levels. With his blend of toughness, athleticism, and shooting touch, he projects as a dynamic two-way guard built for the modern game.
