POB’s Thoughts: College programs could use these shooters

2023 Jalen Wenger (Speights Academy): Wenger finds his way to the top of the list, because every time I watched him, he showed how deadly he can be from the outside.  Coming off the bench, you simply know what he is going to provide after watching a game or two, and he has the utmost confidence in his shot-making and his range. Time after time, he was knocking down threes and displayed his...

Reece’s Standouts: Phenom Summer Havoc (Day 4)

by: Ethan Reece 2026 Noah Noch (Team Hope)Noah has been one of the ultimate role players that I’ve seen this season.
