DAVID ROSE MDC EVENT RECAPS

Taking Notice of More: Phenom Rise Showcase (Part 2)

2024 Mason Smith (TCF Wildcats): Smith is a player that continues to attract my eyes with his play. We have watched him on countless occasions, and with his game and size, there is a lot of intrigue.' Smith is a 6'6 prospect that can be effective from so many levels; whether it is stepping out and being a threat from three (hit multiple threes throughout the event), or using his 6'6 frame to...

POB's Eye Catchers from Day 1 at Phenom Rise Showcase

2025 Shamarius Peterkin (Team Official): Peterkin has been a name that Phenom Hoops has been impressed with over the last year. And you can see that he only continues to get better on the court.

Player Standouts at Day Two of Tyler Lewis Hoop Fest

6'7 '23 David Peral (Mount Tabor) Various players have shown progression within this Spartan roster, but Peral's growth has been truly unbelievable.

Reece's Standouts: Triad Blue Chip Fall League (West Division Week 4)

by: Ethan Reece 2023 Caden Funk (Forbush)Given Forbush is looking to replace about 50 ppg this year after graduating Peyton Compton and Cannon Doub, I saw promise in what they could build around this year with a guy like Caden.
