Player Standouts at Day Three of Phenom Challenge
6'5 '22 Mikhail Pocknett (WBC Elite) It's difficult to say anything that hasn't already been mentioned, as Pocknett continues to dominate as a primary option for this squad. He's a strong, mobile forward who thrives at securing rebounds, pushing the break, and consistently finishing around the basket. Pocknett can knock down the occasional jumper and understands how to set up others at a useful...

POB’s Eye Catchers from Phenom Challenge (Day 2, Part 2)
2024 6'8 Richard Goods (Carolina Clutch): Well look at it here, '24 Richard Goods makes another standout list. In this game, there just wasn't anyone that could match the physicality that he brought to the floor, carving out space in the paint, finishing through defenders, and attacking the glass once again. What continues to impress is his ability to step out and be a threat as...

POB’s Eye Catchers: Phenom Grassroots TOC (Day 2, Part 2)
2023 Parker Hodgson (Dream Big Elite): Hodgson continues to be the go-to leader for Dream Big Elite, a team that has some intriguing talent to watch.

POB’s Eye Catchers from Phenom Spring Tip-Off (Day 1)
2025 Jerquarius Stanback (NLPB): One to certainly monitor in the class of 2025 here in North Carolina, as the young forward brings tremendous length to the court.

Noah’s Hoopers from Summer Havoc Session 2 (Day 2)
By: Noah Hooper 6'2 2025 Cedric Kenan (TSB 2024) I have been familiar with Cedric's game since session one and he impressed me, but after his performance this afternoon against Virginia Warriors Elite, I felt that it was only right to talk about him from a more in-depth perspective. When I watch Kenan, the first thing I notice about him is how high his motor is as he is always the first one to...

Brandon’s Big-Time Ballers at Summer Havoc Day 2 (Part 2)
By: Brandon Blakney 6’3 2023 Parker Hodgson (Elav)- Hodgson plays with a chip on his shoulder and has a nice swagger about his game on the court. I witnessed him try to dunk on three defenders, he attacks the cup with reckless abandonment and doesn't care who has reservations to meet him at the rim. In the evening matchups, Hodgson went off for twenty-seven and grabbed the attention of...
