SUMMER GRIND EVENT RECAPS

Jeff’s Take: HS Summer Jam Fest

Southwest Guilford It is often considered rarified territory to catch brothers on the same team, and this Southwest Guilford team has a trio. Led by the eldest, 6'1 Kameron Langley (2017), it's no surprise that they only surrendered three total losses last season. Kameron is certainly the most polished offensively among the three, but defensively is where he makes his money. All three of these...

Trejon Jacob: Unknown, No More

Expect Offers to Start Flowing in Soon Even after averaging over ten (10) points per game at the prestigious NC Top 80 Camp, many people in this area, have still not heard of Millbrook High School's 6'4 wing Trejon Jacob. I have a feeling however that is soon to change. Two years ago, Jacob came from Houston, Texas where he was a starter for his high school team. Last year, at Millbrook, he...

Kody Shubert: Look Test Aside, This Kid Can Play

The look test is a real thing. It is human nature to size up situations based on past experience in particular situations. Figure it safe to say that when first looking at Lincoln Charter's Kody Shubert, he does not pass the look test. First off, Shubert is a 5'11' rising sophomore. He is average size, very unassuming. He isn't skinny, but he isn't bulky just average. Shubert has a touch of acne...

A Long 6’6″ With A Confident and Pure Stroke A great perk about having a great reputation running events that spread over a wide realm of environment, is that we have kids that come to us that we have not heard of before.

When anything deviates from that it's attractive, if not fascinating. Kody Shubert is captivating from the first time you watch him play. He walks onto the court and you don't think much of him. The freshman has a young looking face that sits on...

Mac Brydon: He’s Back and He’s Ready

A true back to the basket post is a dying breed.

Let me introduce you to Mac Brydon. While Brydon may not pass the initial look test, he is certainly someone that passes the play test. Brydon is a true back to the basket...
