Take Notice of More: 2024 David Mirikwe is a player who can help a future program

Every year we come across players that simply go a bit under the radar in our opinion, but Phenom Hoops is here to bring awareness in a big way of unsigned seniors who should be targets for college programs. One player that we continue to shed light on, and think can be an effective option on the court is 2024 David Mirikwe from Chapel Hill High School.' If you didn't know his name by now,...

Day 1 Standouts from Phenom Lakesgiving

2024 Sheree Gidney (Hickory Ridge): The senior really stepped up to start the event on Day 1, being assertive and strong, attacking downhill like she does, and really being physical in finishing inside the arc and on the boards. She led her team to a strong victory with a double-double of 20pts and 12rebs. Gidney should only continue to excel and be the go-to leader for her team. '2024 Jordan...

Put on your radar from Phenom Exposure (Varsity Division)

2025 Abdulai Kabba Fanta (Victory Christian): Fanta has been a name growing more and more this summer with his play, as the 6'11 big man has continued his development and understanding of the game.  Fanta's size immediately catches your eye, but we have noticed his development over the last year both offensively and defensively. He has added more, been more assertive around the basket, and...

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...

Coach Tony’s Hidden Treasures: Hardwood Classic

2026 6'3'Jack Siegel'(CC Elite 2026) ' Jack has thoroughly impressed me these last few weekends. He can handle the ball and score with the best of them. He's really crafty with his scoring. Shoots the 3 ball with great consistency. Yet he gets others involved when the defense starts to focus on him. He should be on most coaches' 2026 board. 2024 6'5 Xavier Peaks (Wildcats Elite 2024) '...

Cooper’s Developments: Phenom Opening

By: Cooper Hart 6'4' '26 Tarris Bouie (Team EAT) Bouie was in the top tier of prospects in this weekend's 15u division. He's a long and athletic wing that, while still physically developing, is more than strong enough to defend up positions and handle contact. He was arguably the best shooter in the division, acting as one of the few five tool shooters in the event. He has incredible shooting...
