Director of SLAM Magazine High School Video Bryan Larussa stated, “In my experience, the state of North Carolina has one of the biggest basketball fan bases in the country. They also produce a ton of high level college and pro talent. Phenom Hoops has been identifying that talent for years now and they’ve established themselves as the go-to source for putting those players on the map. The first time I ever saw Dennis Smith Jr. was in his freshman year while playing at the Phenom 150 camp, and he was just one of many great players there. So when the opportunity to partner with them came about, I wanted to jump on it right away.”
