Just because the LIVE period is over in April, doesn't mean that Phenom Hoops is stopping their coverage, as we are bringing you a ton of post-event coverage as well throughout the coming weeks. Let's dive into a few players and teams that we saw at the event, as we shed light on players that performed well throughout.
Upward Stars Columbia
A team that had the attention of college coaches all around the building, Upward Stars Columbia 2024 should be one that more schools check out with the talent they bring to the table. All over the place, you can find players that can help teams, so let's dive into the players we saw.
When you start with this group, you have to start with a player that is rising up the ranks quickly and has seen his stock rise. So far, he has added two new offers to the table, and more could be coming toward 2024 6'8 Alex Atkinson. We have spoken a lot about him, and you can read about his game here: 2024 6'8 Alex Atkinson (Upward Stars) seeing his stock rise after LIVE period
2024 Madden Collins was another player that brought intrigue to our scouts. The 6'2 prospect had a very good showing overall, caught our eyes with his ability to shoot the ball at a high clip, and his long/wiry frame as a player. He was able to make his presence felt as a defender, moved well without the ball, was a useful ball-handler, and still has a long-term upside to his game.
2024 6'9 Thomas Campbell was another that brought size to the floor. He was able to use his size well to his advantage, carve out space and be an effective weapon as a big. Campbell did a great job in carving out his role, being active on the glass, and also finding ways to get to the line if he didn't finish in the paint.
2024 Tavaris Bell is a familiar name with Phenom Hoops, and it was great to get another glimpse of the 6'0 crafty guard. Bell continued to make his presence known, showing his ability to create, make plays off the bounce, and really attacked the defense. Overall, he is just a gritty player that plays hard and with something to prove, excels with the ball in his hands and making plays off the bounce, and was also able to knock down shots.
