Phenom’s Capital City Jam is the Place to Be
Here’s Why…
It is well known around the region that Phenom Hoops’ events are where all of the talent lies. Top players from around the country come to get seen, and they show out. The stands are packed with fans as they know they are watching tomorrows stars. The baselines are filled with college coaches as they know the will always be able to jump on an unknown star. The sidelines are filled with NCAA compliant scouts and nationally read media as they know the storylines are always great at Phenom events.
For the previous three years Phenom Hoops held this event at Millbrook High School in Raleigh, North Carolina. Players such as Dennis Smith Jr (Dallas Mavs), Chris Clemons (NCAA 2nd Leading Scorer) and many others have participated in this event. This year we felt it was time to move the event to talent rich Columbia, South Carolina.
While the Hoop State continues to be good to Phenom Hoops, the talent level in the state of South Carolina is at an unbelievable high right now. Going through the players there are numerous Top 150 type guys throughout the classes. Some of the top teams from around the region with incredible coaches throughout the state. South Carolina is also a basketball hungry state. The state knows when there is good talent around, they have to show up and watch.
Phenom’s Capital City Jam is filled with talent, both team and individual. Here is the reason why THIS Saturday (December 16) the state of South Carolina needs to stop what they are doing and show up to Ben Lippen School in Columbia and watch this incredible display of talent.
South Carolina, Clemson, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Wake Forest and more are recruiting Hartsville junior Trae Hannibal
Zeb Graham vs. Trae Hannibal
330PM at Ben Lippen School in Columbia, SC
Trae Hannibal is ranked #5 in South Carolina’s 2019 class. Zeb Graham is ranked #9 in the same class. They are both highly productive lead guards who both play an incredibly exciting style of basketball.
Hannibal is experiencing the start of his blow up right now. Already he has had the likes of South Carolina, Oklahoma State, Clemson, Old Dominion and others in to see him this year. He is averaging 18 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals per game.
Hannibal is a strong, tough and explosive lead guard. He plays with a great pace and showcases excellent floor vision and IQ as he navigates his way through the paint. He is also incredibly explosive as he gets out in transition or knifes through the defense looking to finish high above the rim and on someone’s head.
Multiple D1 offers and 20 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 steals per game for Nation Ford junior Zeb Graham
Graham has been a high scoring leader of Nation Ford for a couple years now. Playing in South Carolina’s largest classification, 5A, so far this season he is averaging 20 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 steals per game. Graham is an unbelievably exciting guard who is able to get to the rim or shoot from 25+ feet.
Currently Graham, who has a 3.7 GPA, carries offers from Presbyterian and Hampton. However, the second coaches see him, he is certain to see that list grow immensely. There is something to be said about a player dominating play, game in and game out, at the states highest level. Graham has done that for two years now.
Hannibal and Graham are fighting for the same scholarships. As mentioned above Hannibal is South Carolina’s #2 point guard in the junior class and Graham is #3. They both play an unbelievably exciting style and are sure to have fans on their feet for the entire game and coaches moving their names to the top of their recruiting board instantly.
