The Phenom Hoops LIVE was a tremendous success as we continue to highlight players that we saw along with teams. The Carolina Riptide organization has been a proven one throughout the years, and they continue to bring talent to the court for college coaches to check out. We look at the Carolina Riptide Hickory 2025 program, as they played well and had plenty of players that could knock down shots. We highlight three players that earned more attention.
2026 6’4 Noah VanBeurden
2025 6’3 Graham Orndoff
2025 6’4 Ty Sanders
All three were really showcasing their ability to knock down shots from a variety of levels and be a huge threat in helping lead the charge from the perimeter. Time after time and event after event, these three can show that they can be true weapons on the court with their confidence. All three have fluid releases, have a ton of confidence to go with their range, and bring tremendous value in their ability to knock down shots from multiple levels but also be smart players with good decision-making.
All throughout the Phenom Hoops LIVE, these three were opening the offense up and knocking down shots from outside and should only continue to do so this summer and into the high school season.
