Typically, we take a closer look at guys who are overlooked and...

Unsigned Seniors To Look At More: Phenom Queen City
2024 Brendan Bailey (NLPB): Bailey is a senior to check out for sure if you need a late addition. He has the physical attributes that will allow him to find early success at the next level and be able to compete, but he has also expanded and added more to his game. With his mixture of size, strength, and skillset, he can matchup at several positions and find success in being a scoring factor but...

Time to Wake Up: Players to Watch More of from NC Top 80
2025 Darnerian Gibson (WS Christian): Gibson had a very good showing and he should start earning more attention his way with his play. The 2025 point guard continues to answer the bell every time we see him, as he competes, plays hard, makes plays for himself, and does a great job in finding others as well as leading the charge. He is quick out in the open floor, can knock down shots with range,...

POB’s Eye Catchers from Day 2 at Phenom Team Camp/ MS Nationals
2024 Jordan Patton (Chambers): Going to keep on saying it until more people notice; Patton is one that will simply help your team win games. With how he can be used, Patton can be a vital piece on both offense and defense, and I expect him to really showcase that this season even more. Patton’s size, versatility, impact on both ends, and athleticism should attract more eyes, but he also brings...

Five College-Worthy Seniors from G3 Showcase
6’2 ’24 Stephen Quinn (Team Charlotte) Arguably the most lethal shooting threat in every building he enters, it’s pretty easy to see why Quinn would be an asset for various programs. While there are plenty of available shooters, very few possess the unlimited range, quick release, and sheer accuracy of someone like him. Quinn can reliably attack closeouts, make extra passes, and mix it up as...
