6’6 ’25 Desmon Rose (Team Loaded 757)
There’s an abundance of talent within Team Loaded 757’s roster, and Rose stands out as much as anyone. At 6-foot-6 with an incredibly smooth game, it’s shocking that he doesn’t currently hold more offers from Division I programs. Rose is a legitimate matchup problem whose blend of size, athleticism, creation skills, and effortless scoring polish allows him to overwhelm opponents in a variety of ways. He displays phenomenal pace off the bounce and makes smart decisions with the ball. Rose knocks down perimeter shots at a high percentage while actively mixing in penetration looks and setting up others. Add in his physical presence as a defender and rebounder, and the appeal should be obvious.
6’6 ’25 Tyrell Beverly (Team Resilience United)
Similar to the entry above, Beverly’s lack of recruitment is quite perplexing. He’s a long, athletic, versatile wing/forward who can seamlessly operate in various roles on both ends of the floor. Beverly showed the ability to create and initiate the offense as needed, but also found consistent success as a cutter, spot-up threat, and transition option. Beverly is a physically imposing athlete who displays toughness and a consistently high motor, allowing him to outwork opponents for rebounds and wreak havoc defensively. He’s truly comfortable guarding three to four positions at this level and has the physical makeup to be a problematic defender for all types of opponents in college. Between his adaptable, low-maintenance offensive identity and generally rugged approach, Beverly would be a real asset for all types of scholarship-level programs.
6’8 ’26 Gavin Kay (Team Resilience United)
Although he only played on Saturday, it doesn’t take long to recognize the overall appeal of Kay. He’s a strong, mobile big man with an enticing combination of length, toughness, and athleticism. Kay is a solid finisher around the basket, primarily finding opportunities in the dunker spot or as a roller in the two-man game. That being said, he doesn’t require a ton of touches or offensive involvement to make a lasting impact. Kay displays great timing as a defensive anchor and utilizes his physicality well to rebound the ball. It feels like he still has plenty of upside remaining, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he continues to blossom going forward.
6’2 ’27 Micah Ojo (Team YKS)
Though she and her teammates will be featured at length later this week, it’s impossible to ignore everything Ojo showcased. She entered the event with a reputation as one of the top prospects in the country and certainly didn’t disappoint. Ojo possesses an amazing blend of size, length, and athleticism, which allows her to absolutely overwhelm opponents on both ends of the floor. She’s a nightmarish defender with the ability to intercept passes, protect the rim, and generally deter opponents from attacking the basket. Ojo is a very smart, polished all-around offensive piece who can finish, knock down jumpers, and set up others. She’s a natural leader by example and shines as a focal point for this group. It’s easy to see why Ojo is so highly regarded.
5’11 ’27 Trent Davies (Wilmington Excel)
This Wilmington Excel group always impresses with their poise and chemistry, and Davies is consistently leading the charge at the forefront of their operation. He’s a smooth, crafty guard with an excellent combination of vision, creation skills, and shot-making ability. Davies is comfortable dictating the action as the main creator or playing without the ball and finding opportunities as a cutter or spot-up threat. Although he could hunt for his shot whenever he wants, Davies is smart, unselfish, and efficiently picks his spots within the flow of the action. Add in his useful rebounding and defensive presence, and it’s easy to see all the ways he sets the tone.
