Takeaways from South Carolina Top 80

Cam Scott Remains Legit It really doesn't take long for any basketball person to recognize the gifts that Cam Scott possesses. However, the notion that some folks are still not completely bought-in seems ridiculous. Scott is an elite offensive player, point blank. His IQ is through the roof, and it's glaringly evident in the effortless, unselfish manner in which he approaches the game. Finding...

Dawkins’ Standouts from Coach Rick’s TOC (Day 2, Part 1)

By; DeAjai Dawkins 6'5 2024 Jamal Brown (1 of 1 Elite 2024/Word of God)' Jamal is most certainly one of the most athletically imposing prospects in this event.

A walking 20+ point performer amongst his age group, Brown elevates above the rim with ease and has the length to truly...

Draper has a good feel offensively, sealing in the post and taking contact to help get to the line.  But you also like his length that helps in on the boards on both sides.  Draper also...

By: Sean Halloran 2022 Nygie Stroman (RDC Lakers 17U) Stroman was a player that caught my eye this morning. The 6'5 strong, athletic forward displayed the versatility he has in his offensive game.
