Border League: Most Versatile

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HENDERSON, Nev. — The Border League has become one of the premier fall high school and prep school basketball events in the country and the 2026 event lived up to the hype. More than 150 teams from across the country made the trip to Southern Nevada to participate in the three day event. We were in the gym from morning until night at the Henderson Sport &amp; Social and Coronado high school locations and below is our takeaways of the event's most versatile players with a mix of SoCal and National prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2436972"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac806a243f14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Berrouet is first on this list because it's alphabetized but it's fitting because he is one of the most versatile players in the country. The powerful 6-foot-8 forward is an inside-out scoring threat with his footwork, touch and back-to-the-basket feel and ability to stretch the floor with off-catch consistency to the three-point line. Berrouet also showed his incredible vision and passing ability out of the post, on the wing and when rebounding and pushing the break in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3789696"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac806a243f8e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elocobe's blend of size, strength, fluid athleticism and ability to play inside and out on the offensive end made him a multi-layered threat. The 6-foot-6 wing used his ball skills and physicality to get to the rim on straight-line drives in transition and when attacking closeouts. Elocobe also showed playmaking IQ in a point-forward type of role where he made sound decisions on his paint touches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1948021"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac806a243fe6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rosser fuses a physical and athletic profile that translates to the highest levels with a skill-set to match that statement. At 6-feet-9 with a long, wiry frame the senior is as versatile as they come offensively with the ability to stretch the floor to the three-point line off the catch and create mid-range and at-rim scoring opportunities off the bounce. Rosser is also an all-purpose defender whose mobility, lateral speed and length allow him to contest shots and contain on the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1724365"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac806a244038"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fotheringham, a Utah State commit, showed his high IQ, dribble, pass and shoot skill-set that allowed him to impact the game in a variety of ways. The 6-foot-7 wing/forward initiated offense when rebounding and pushing the break, connected on catch-and-shoot threes and made plays as a passer on the wing and out of the post. Fotheringham used his handle, ball skills and mobility to break down defenders in isolation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140875"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac806a24408a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Henry has improved his game incrementally each and every year since we first watched him as a freshman at SoCal-based Mater Dei. Now, at AZ Compass Prep, and one of the most sought after recruits in the country, the 6-foot-7 wing is a versatile two-way prospect. Henry was really good at Border League driving the ball to his left hand for at-rim finishes and hit balanced pull-up jumpers going right. Henry knocked down catch-and-shoot threes from the corners at a consistent clip and made simple but smart passes to get teammates open shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2767538"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac806a244136"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McDaniel can be classified as one of the most physical, explosive and mobile wing/forward athletes in the country and used those physical and athletic tools to defend multiple positions, rebound at a high rate in and out of his area and put pressure on the rim with transition drives and finishes. The 6-foot-7 sophomore has a frame that is mature beyond its years and that strength, combined with his ball skills and vision, allowed him to create on the perimeter for himself and teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2746603"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac806a24418b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sheppard has always had the skill-set of a legitimate point-forward type of player and he had his scoring and playmaking abilities on full display at Border League. The 6-foot-8 forward has showed improved vertical athleticism which led to quicker and more explosive above the rim finishes on his transition and half-court drives while maintaining his methodical pace as a creator off the dribble. Sheppard's offensive toolbox contains mid-post and low-post scoring and creating ability, as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2407095"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac806a24423e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Green put together another tremendous weekend of all-around basketball just as we saw the week prior at the HS Fall Invite. The 6-foot-9 forward is a true playmaking, point-forward level of distributor and decision-maker whose smooth pace, high basketball IQ and ability to score inside and out made him the key player for Compass Prep. Green was stretching the floor to the three-point line, breaking down defenders from the top of the key and to score at the rim or dish to a teammate and read the floor well on the wing and in the mid post where he picked defenses apart with his vision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
