Jacovey Campbell
Jacovey has shown me he is a dog at every stage I’ve seen him play and tonight was no different except tonight. The freshman is listed at a generous 5-8 but that didn’t stop teammates from throwing him lobs that he narrowly missed but clearly had the bounce to jam it in. As usual this speed allowed him to guard lead ball handlers and create opportunities for others.
The freshman continues to impress. He started the the game 3/3 from deep and held his own on defense.
Alex Anamekwe
As physically imposing as you could ask a 6-5 player to be, Anamekwe used his size to crash the offensive boards. He finished around the rim at a high level against similar sized opponents. He’s developed more confidence around the perimeter including set up the offense and perfecting his footwork off screens.
Ian Motta Ian Motta 6'6" | SF Allen | 2021 State TX
Motta serves as of Allen’s best servicemen on the perimeter. He flexes his athleticism when rebounding then starting the break with outlet passing and solid open floor quickness. In the half court awareness and IQ put him in the right positions to score within the offense. A knock down shooter and competitor.
Manny Obaseki Manny Obaseki 6'3" | SG John Paul II | 2021 State #47 Nation TX
The newly minted 5 Star has all the physical traits to be a top flight D-1 prospect but it’s the little things that made him stand out in the matchup. He didn’t score a lot but he did dish to his teammates I’ve never seen. The passing was crisp, the handle was exciting, and he didn’t take a play off.
Thailand Elder

Elder showed all the attributes that made him a Louisiana Tech signee regardless of foul trouble. His dunk off vertical at only 6-2 was freakish and he brought the rain from three going 2-5.
