5’10 2019 Reginald Walton Team ENC– Reginald was a point guard that a lot of coaches would
love to have for many reasons. My favorite thing about him is that if you watch him play he
makes winning play after winning play for his team on both ends of the floor. He is an
undoubted leader and a winner. I was talking to one of my fellow phenom scouts and he called
him “The best leader in the whole event.” Take his great leadership and winning mentality and
add it in with the ability to create for himself and his teammates you have a point guard that I
believe can help a lot of schools out and he should see this reflected in his recruitment.
5’11 2020 Phillip Martin Team ENC– Phil is the only 2020 playing on this this team ENC 2019
squad. He shows a lot of promise and potential through doing several things on the court. Most
people know who he is because of his smooth left-handed jump shot which he knocks down at
a high rate off the catch, however what impressed me about Phil this time out was the way he
was scoring off the bounce. Phil plays a very patient and poised games almost to the point
where you want to see him shoot the ball a little more but, with the poise he plays with helps
him because he rarely makes mistakes. As he continues to grow, become stronger, and keep
improving his scoring off the bounce Phil could end up a nice all around 2 guard.
6’6 2019 Jayvion Rucker Atlanta All Stars– Jayvion has everything you look for in a division 1
wing: he possesses great length and athleticism at 6’6. But that’s not all he has to his game, he
shoots the ball at a high level and is a good floor spacer for this Atlanta All Stars team that has a
lot of athletes who work well inside. He has all the tools to have a big July for himself as I
anticipate a lot of his teammates will as well.
6’4 2019 Ta’lon Cooper Upward Stars- Ta’lon is such a gifted and natural scorer on any level
you need him to be. His versatility scoring the ball is what impressed me most about him. On a
very talented and recruitable Upward Stars team he is the glue that keeps them together.
When his teammates are doing a good job scoring the ball he handles it well enough to play on
the ball and facilitate for others, and when his teammates are not hitting their shots he is more
than capable of scoring the ball off the bounce or coming off screens and playing off the catch.
Ta’lon picked up a few offers already this July and I expect his recruitment to keep going up.
6’6 2019 Marlowe Gilmore Columbia Hoyas– Every once in a while, you hear coaches while
evaluating a player ask, “what position could he play for us'” While Marlowe may not be your
prototypical position player at any of the 5 spots there is one thing I know about him for sure. If
he is on the floor he’s going to produce! Marlowe uses his 6’6 strong frame and freakish
athleticism to do so many things on the floor: he can virtually guard any position you want him
to, he is very quick in transition running the floor, he gets way up to dunk the ball, and he is
strong enough off the bounce to get to the basket when he needs to. While some may question
what position Marlowe plays I just see him as a basketball player who gets the job done every
time out.
