Wasatch vs. Oak Hill
2022 Roddy Gayle Jr. (Wasatch Academy): Gayle Jr. was terrific, especially getting his team off to a great start in the first half. He was scoring from inside and out but it was the activity level and energy he brought to the floor in this game. At 6'5, he attacked the rim and finished well but also brought great energy defensively, creating extra opportunities for his team. Such a terrific blend of skill, length, athleticism, and ability to impact the floor in several ways. Ohio State got themselves a good one coming.
2021 Fousseyni Traore (Wasatch Academy): Traore was a monster down low in the paint, on both ends of the floor. Whether it was blocking shots, using his big frame to attack the glass. He was a real difference-maker on several plays, taking away opportunities for Oak Hill but then also playing incredibly strong in the paint offensively. Big-time game and is going to be a fan favorite at BYU.
2022 MJ Rice (Oak Hill): Rice was the most consistent offensive threat on the floor for Oak Hill vs. Wasatch.' He continues to bring an aggressive nature and what I love about his game is that he never gives in, always looks to compete, and plays with such a unique game with power and skill.' Really attacked and got on the boards, helping himself get to the free-throw line.
Montverde vs. Sunrise Christian
2021 Ryan Nembhard (Montverde): Simply can't wait to watch him with TyTy Washington. Nembhard plays with such a high IQ on the floor, great floor spacing, and seeing/finding open teammates in the right position.' Just has a natural feel and leader on the court, but also steps up and scores as well from inside and out. Loved his pace and understanding on the floor with the ball in his hands.
2021 Kendall Brown (Sunrise Christian): Brown is going to fit in quite well at Baylor. Getting a chance to watch him on multiple occasions, each time, we are blown away with his elite athleticism and explosion, something he knows how to use quite well in slashing and getting down to the rim. The power and springs he brings to the court are fun.
2021 Caleb Houstan (Montverde): Coming in as one of the top prospects in the class, you can see why easily with his 6'8 frame, his ability to knock down shots from three (one of the top shooters in the class), but also rebound, move without the ball, and impact the court in an array of ways. Michigan and Coach Howard have to be excited in how they can use him at the college level.
2021 Kennedy Chandler (Sunrise Christian): There is something about Chandler's game that you have to love; simply a dog on the floor and makes winning plays. It started out slow for him but he steps up when needed and wants the ball in his hands. Special guard that attacks, elite offensive game, and isn't afraid of the bright lights.
