To cap off the end of the first quarter it was an alley-oop connection from DJ Stewart to Danny McAdory.

His handles have tremendously improved as well as his overall game. He can know knock down outside jumpers and take his opponent to the rim from the perimeter. He currently holds one JuCo offer on the table and will pick up more as the season progresses he definitely is one of the most improved seniors in the state of Texas. Finished with 27 points and snatched down 9 rebounds. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Phillip Moore</span> 6'4 WG / Alief Taylor / 2020</strong></p> <p>Phillip is a big guard that will see some time at the small forward spot on the next level because of his size and wingspan. He knocked down multiple trey balls in the game. Has the ability to stretch the floor out because of his threat from deep range and I'm not talking about right on top of the three-point line either. He is a volume scorer who should put up big numbers this season. He currently has two NAIA offers on the table. Finished the game with 14 points as he shot 3/6 from behind the arc. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">DJ Stewart</span> 5'11 PG / Fort Bend Bush / 2020 <a href="https://prephoops.com/texas/rankings/2020-rankings/"><span style="color: #ff6600;">PH</span><span style="color: #ffcc00;">TX</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">150</span></a></strong></p> <p>DJ is one of the most crafty guards to touch the hardwood this season. He is very deceptive with the rock in his hand. He is a ferocious on-ball defender that has great lateral movement and quick hands. He has a super high IQ on both sides of the ball. He plays the passing lanes very well. High motor prospect who is always on the floor after loose balls. Makes some of the most difficult passes seem elementary. DJ currently holds an NAIA and a D3 offer on the table, He could potentially land a D2 offer as well as he has the skill set to play at that level as a lead guard who loves to facilitate the ball. Finished with 17 points,  came away with 9 steals, dished out 6 assists, and grabbed 4 rebounds as he shot 3/6 from the charity stripe.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Danny McAdory</span> 6'5 SF / Fort Bend Bush / 2020 <a href="https://prephoops.com/texas/rankings/2020-rankings/"><span style="color: #ff6600;">PH</span><span style="color: #ffcc00;">TX</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">150</span></a></strong></p> <p>Danny is a high flying forward that plays in slow motion on the court at times and the next thing you know he takes off like a ball shot out of a canon. He is uber-bouncy and can finish with both hands above the rim. Jumps off the right and left foot as well as two feet jump dunks. He is a lob specialist. His mid-range game still needs some fine-tuning, but he will grab several boards and cause a lot of altered shots with his springboard jumping abilities. He currently does hold any offers and could be utilized in the four spot when going small at the next level. Finished the game with 13 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and shot 3/5 from the foul line.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Jackson Morris</span> 6'0 G / Fort Bend Bush / 2020</strong></p> <p>Jackson was the x-factor for the Broncos in this game. He shot the ball well, played scrappy on-ball defense, and got in the mix of things getting after 50/50 balls. He set some solid screens and was very talkative on the court. He got out in transition and ran the court well to be rewarded with two easy lay-ins. He doesn't hold any offers at this time. He finished with 10 points in the game and went 2/5 from deep.</p>
