SC PHENOM 150 EVENT RECAPS

Attacking the Boards: Class of 2023 (North Carolina)

2023 Tim Hall (Westminster Catawba): Hall is a player that I would suggest college coaches look at, because he has been unstoppable so far this season. He plays hard, uses his size and athleticism, and brings a ton of production on both ends.' Right now, he is having a monster season and doing so with consistency, averaging 20.5 points per game and an impressive 14.5 rebounds per game.' But he...

North Carolina Phenom 150 Camp Evaluations (Session II): Team 3

Team 3 Coach: Greg Harmon #10: 5'5 '26 Branden Warren (Reagan) Starting things off, we look at a player who arguably stood out as the top spot-up threat on this team, Branden Warren. He's a young, slightly undersized guard prospect with excellent feel and understanding as an off-ball threat. Warren knows how to find open seams and consistently hit perimeter jumpers, but also makes smart...

NC Phenom 150 Camp Recap (Session II)

Top Performer- 6'6 '25 Jake Cackovic (Holly Springs) Although there were a lot of notable guys on display, Jake Cackovic utilized this camp to serve as the setting for his breakout campaign. He was an impressive player throughout the summer, but really showcased flashes of pure dominance at the event. Winning the MVP award was relatively simple for the young, skilled forward.

Dawkins’ Standouts from Day 1 at Phenom Team Camp

6'4 2026 Josiah Johnson (Fayetteville Academy) After watching a morning display of overpowering smaller defenders in the low post, rebounding at a high level, and defending with purpose, I had to inquire about Josiah Johnson. When I asked him, I was expecting to hear about a rising senior looking to solidify the college he'll call home the next for years. This is a rising freshman in high...

Team 2 Coach: Colby Lewis #2: 5'3 '25 Zanquel Baldwin (North Charleston) Starting things off, we look at a player who competed and produced quite well despite being the smaller camper on this team, Zanquel Baldwin.

Player Standouts at Day Two of Phenom Summer Showcase

6'2 '23 Grady Whitt (Go Hard) Few teams in attendance can match the balanced approach of Go Hard, and Whitt is a massive part of their overall game. The lefty is skilled and fairly crafty, able to consistently create for himself and other off the bounce. Whitt shoots the ball at an efficient rate from midrange and beyond the arc, and finishes with finesse around the basket. He's a quality passer...

Player Standouts at Phenom Summer Showcase

6'3 '24 Austin Swartz (CB Hoops) Although CB Hoops is fairly balanced as a group, Swartz was arguably their most reliable performer throughout their first contest of the day. Between his IQ, size, and well-rounded skillset, he understands how to consistently affect all facets of the game. Swartz displays a pretty advanced feel for his current age, and should only continue to get better with...

Founded just over a decade ago, Northern Guilford has seen some high-level prospects come through this program but have largely maintained their reputation as a football school. After the infamous era that featured guys like Michael Neal (App State), Jonathan Frye (Tulane), and Jacob Lawson (Purdue), the basketball talent just wasn't the same. They’ve had multiple scholarship-level guys...
