POB’s Eye Catchers from Day 1 at Coach Rick’s TOC (Part 1)
2024 Cal Barrett (NC Spartans Liles): Barrett is a 6’9 prospect that can be effective and used in a variety of ways on the court. He operates very well in pick-and-pop situations, knocking down mid-range and stepping out behind the arc. But with his size as well, he can be a nice presence in the paint and on the boards. An underrated talent to look at more in my opinion. 2026 Sam Quebedeaux...

Potter’s Prospects from Phenom Team Camp
By: Brody Potter 2024 Isaiah Otyaluk (NC GBB): A great athlete, with long arms. He has an impressive ability not many guys have, and that is to guard 1-4.

Not only is he a great defender he can score the ball on all three levels, especially from the 3pt line; he can’t be left open. 2026 Tarris Bouie (Chambers): Bouie s a tall...

POB’s Eye Catchers from Day 3 at John Wall Invitational (Part 1)
2023 Nic Anthony (Raleigh Christian): The senior guard came out red hot in this game, showing his ability to be a huge perimeter threat and ended the game going 5-for-6 from behind the arc on his way to 17 points. He moved well in getting to his spots for his shot and was able to knock down shots with a ton of confidence. But he also was strong being another ballhandler on the floor for...

Recruitment should continue to rise: Phenom Holiday Classic
2025 Isaiah Henry (Cannon): Think it is only going to be a matter of time for this young sophomore, but Isaiah Henry has been showing us A LOT early on this season; his game has matured, and he is understanding and adding more to his game, and is really stepping up as an overall leader and go-to player. Henry continues to mix up his offensive game, showing that he can be productive from outside...

Team 5 Coach: Ricky Moore #5: 5’11 ’25 Mason Dobie (First Flight) Starting things off, we look at a player who showcased a very steady, reliable presence, Mason Dobie. He’s a tough, unselfish guard prospect with a high motor and the ability to produce from either backcourt position. Dobie handles the ball well, gets others involved, and can create off the bounce, but is also capable of...

Player Standouts at Hoopstate Fall League
6’1 ’23 Jaiden Thompson (Team Force) Although the twins receive a lot of attention (and rightfully so), Thompson is as valuable and important as anyone to the success of this team. For all intents and purposes, he could be considered the third brother. Thompson adds another reliable guard presence with IQ, vision, toughness, and scoring prowess. In this showing, he created shots, hit jumpers,...

Player Standouts at Day Two of Phenom Hardwood Classic
6’7 ’23 Ty Outlaw (Team Trezz) The Team Trezz roster is loaded with talent, and Outlaw has performed very well throughout the course of the weekend. He’s a big, strong-bodied post prospect with mobility, rebounding ability, and useful defensive instincts. Outlaw altered shots, positioned himself for success on the glass, and didn’t force the action offensively. College-level player. 5’6...
