Promising Prospect #40

“Natural Progression”

Sometimes you see a kid and you just know he will be good, young fella was one of those kids who the first time I saw him I said uwwwweeee!! They will see!!  Playing for My Guys!! Coach Pray & Coach Johnson of Hoopademix at the time Antonio was raw, sometimes he would make a move or shoot a shot and things didn’t go well but again I looked and said “He will get it “. Entering his 6th grade year young fella’s was starting to show plenty of progression as he was playing for coaches who would allow him to learn on the fly and make mistakes while still staying on the court, yes his team wasn’t the greatest (they won some and lost some) the important thing was young fella was developing. Antonio who was the biggest player on the team, was still allowed to handle the ball and make decisions, he was never limited to playing in the post. Boy Oh Boy!!! In 7th grade is when I really said this kid here has a chance too be ” One Of Those Dudes!!” While still playing for Hoopademix playing 7th & 8th Antonio was starting to show what we call Natural Progression!!! it wasn’t any training or individual workouts that he was getting, it was him getting better off confidence and reps with the ball in his hands in games. Playing in a league where he was playing up against some of the Top Players In The State A Class or 2 above him!! and no one  knowing who he was, he was forced out of his comfort zone yet that didn’t rattle him. Young fella took it upon himself to show he could play with anyone as he was coming at everybody head in the gym. After one game of dominating the older kids me and Coach Ced Mcullough looked at each other and gave that look like He The Best Prospect In Here Regardless Of Class!!!. He showed he could handle it, knock the shot down with ease, score in traffic taking hits in the face and chest and he ran down two kids and had LBJ type blocks at the rim, no he doesn’t do that every game, but the skill he showed means that he is capable of doing that. Some people get that confused, it’s what someone at their best is capable of is what they look for at the next level. When you look at Antonio he checks all the boxes of a prospect, he has the size @ 6″3 plus, he has the slender frame, the wing span, the athletic ability and maaaan the upside. Then factor in he is a great kid who wants to get better and by Natural Progession Alone you have a D1 player. Yes there are things that Antonio can work on, but he has the tools to work with that many many many wish they had. He is gonna walk into High School College Height from day 1. Currently a Top 5 prospect in the class and possibly moving up tomorrow,  Antonio has as much upside and potential as any and  we would like to acknowledge Antonio Munoz as our Promising Prospect ” Natural Progression” and yes he has evolved into “ONE OF THOSE DUDES”

Top 25 Teams Pound For Pound All Inclusive.

If a team has not played in Fall They are Not Included until they at least play a game.

1. ICE 2026- This group here just knows how to play, the majority of the group has been playing together for 5 years and the run like a well oiled machine, they compliment each other so well and have won every major tournament in the area in their division pretty much for the last 3 years, we shall see this weekend if they can hold that spot as they will face heavy competition.

2. Team Greatness 2028 – This collected group of players, apply too much pressure and are extremely talented handling the ball, no team in area at their level can handle them right now, the question is how long can they sustain. It’s unfair for team here to have to deal with them guards. Kentrell King, Darius Hawkins, Jaivyn Winchester, Amari Brown & Brady Pettrigrew. This new group is vying to disrupt things out of town.

3. Demons 2027- The Group calls themselves the King Of Chicagoland Area. They are battle tested and the young core has been playing together for years. Mj. Lil Ed, Devin Cleveland, Tj & Markese are main stays who have confidence and experience. Will they collide this weekend with Flight? The two are the favorites in the 2027 division this weekend.

4. My Journey 2025- This team here is a problem, with the new additions Coach Ferguson has a nice Blend and they have been rolling of late. Outside Shooting, Collective Rebouding and Outside Shooting have risen them too the top of the class in 2025.

5. 2029 94ft.- The little scrappy group has been terrorizing the division and usually have to play up to find good run, many teams don’t have the experience this group does and thats the key at this age. It will get more challenging and we will see if they can hold on. Can anyone stop Kewon Gulley?

6.FVF Elite 2025- The group has plenty of talent and when you have a player like Christian Cummings who can fill it up with the best of them you walk in the gym with a different kind of swag.

7. Team Bad 2025- The assembly of pieces have this group in contention every tournament, Coach Huggy & Coach Drew, get them guys adjusted quick.

8. Team Illinois 2025- The group has plenty of talent a couple of close losses over the last couple of weeks and the question is will they refocus, reload on players or will they let it go and players go their seperate ways.

8. 94ft 2026- This group thrives of grit and grime, they use a lot of toughness and will to weigh their opponent down, this weekend we shall see if they are in the same class as Ice, they have been awaiting the opportunity and will get it.

9. DreamChasers 2028- The group ended the summer and started the fall off strong, they have been off a awhile, we shall see how Covid effects them.

10. Flight 2027- The showdown may happen this Saturday. Davion Thompson, KJ Miller, Dereon Smothers, Mike Pierre look forward too showing their guards can match up with anyone and welcome the challenge, could face Fierce & Demons this weekend.

11. Peoria Pride 2028- This group is talented and the have a fearsome 4 that matches up with anyone pound for pound. They doing big things in Central Illinois.

12. Meanstreets 2028- Another young group who is among the elite, their speed, quickness & Skillset at this early age gives them the advantage right now.

13. Fierce 2027 – The group has been on a roll, while many have folded or started fall or late summer, it seems like Fierce has hit their peek and and have picked up some hardware of late, is this too high? Are They Ready To Be Called A Big Dog? We shall see this weekend.

14. DreamChasers 2025- The group took time off, but when clicking on all cylinders they are good as a collective group.

15. Illinois Hoopstars 2025- This group with all their players in a regular Non Covid Setting, is a Top 10 talent team when everyone is there.

16. ICE 2025- The group has good size and solid guard play, they use too be one of the better groups a couple of years ago but defections occurred. Still Pretty good tho.

17. Indy Premiere 2026- This Group has improved so much over the past 4 months, a team that could very well move up 10 spots rather quickly, I’m interested too see them this weeknd as Coach Baptiste is eager to build something special.

18. Demons 2026 – A mysterious team, Jekyll & Hyde. Capable of Beating Anyone & Capable Of Losing too anyone. can they compete this weekend.

19. Geek Squad 2025- This group plays hard and usually has 2 or 3 of the best athletes on the floor when they play.

20. OWB- 2026- An Uprising team who is coached hard, these kids are looking to prove a point.

21. Swish 2026- Which team will show up is the question, you just never know, they are a dark horse this weekend and have to earn an invite for Dec 27th.

22. Team Swinnie 2027- The talent is there they just lack the size right now, but give me a few off them guards and ill take them with me anywhere for sure.

23.  All Rockford 2026-  People will soon get to know they have talent in that part of the State.

24. ATR- 2026- One thing for certain two things for sure, this fiesty group could be way up the list, i’ll be checking them out more as they are tough and have earned the respect.

25. Geek Squad 2027- A late entry because they had me confused, they have a few pieces that everyone would love to have, Is this group emerging? we shall see this weekend if they should be higher or the list, stay tuned.

25. HoopForce 2027- The group plays with high energy and seems to improve each time I see them, maybe a stretch right now, we will see if they hold on too this spot.

Promising Prospect #41

“It’s His Time”

Two years ago this kid came to showcase a relative unknown, I had gotten a call from Coach Tony(Illinois Intruders) saying he had a kid I had to let register after the event had been closed. I get these calls all the time and usually can do nothing for them, but Tony insisted that this kid was gonna leave an impression on me. There was two levels playing and Bryce was in the younger division as I had 70 or more D1 Prospects playing in the older division and 50 plus high school coaches there watching along with all the heavy hitter AAU you programs lurking to snatch a kid. Bryce was extremely active and tore his level up, leading his team to a  Championship &  walking away with the M.V. P. I then looked at film a day later to make sure what I had seen was what I thought it was. Yep!! This kid is an athlete, he has speed, agility, coordination and upside I said Whoa!! We Have A Prospect. Then the very next day I get a call from  Hall Of Fame Coach “Anthony Longstreet” (who during his time @ Crane produced as many Pro’s & D1 Players as anyone) Rick who was that kid on the Black Team? shiiit!! I came to watch the older kids and he had me following all his games. I said yea,” he gonna be a problem  he only in 6th grade”, Coach said hmm;. “He a kid I think I’ll be making some calls for in the near future”. I immediately did a stock risers on Bryce and thrust him into Top 10 in the class. All I heard was “Rick You Crazy” He Play For Intruders, Why This, Why That!!” I just laughed and said to myself, this kid has some gifts  I don’t care who a kid plays for Game Recognize Game, they  will see. ” His Time Coming!! I then watched several of his middle school games the following year in which young fella had struggles at times and his team lost several games they could have won. Some in crowd were saying ” Rick He OK BUT!!! When I saw that those games I had a whole different view, I said to myself y’all just don’t get it ” His Time Coming”  its better for him too have lost that way while not playing at his best as opposed to winning and he gets too comfortable feeling relaxed. Bryce is fiery and a competitor, to me I thought this would propell him to get in the gym and work that much harder. Well as of today I have personally witness this kid transform from a Center who just clogged the lane and got rebounds, to a kid I look at and say Next Level Wing. Young Fella has sharpened his skills and can get it done at every level. He scores on, through and over people, he knocks it down from long range effortlessly and fluently, he is a big guard who shoots it over the smaller gaurds, he is capable of putting it on your head if a rebound comes off the wrong way, he has the frame to defend 4 positions on the floor and he covers more ground quicker than any player in the class. Here is a another kid I say “Mark it Down D1″ barring injury or illness this a kid (I’m Sorry H.S Coach) we fill will be able too step in High School Day 1 and get Varsity Minutes. A kid whose ceiling is so high and has as much potential as anyone in the class. When you have the tools, the foundation and the support system this kid has it speaks towards success. Yes Indeed!!! there were many who have had the limelight early, others have held down the Number 1 spot in the class!!! We would like to acknowledge Bryce Heard as our Promising Prospect ” It’s His Time!!” as our updated class rankings come out tonight, young fella will be slotted as the Number 1 player in the class 2025.

All Inclusive Jr Hoops Elite Top 225 Class 2025

This is the  2025 class list and this is the beginning stages. There are many kids who deserve to be on this list but I haven’t seen them thus far, there are also several prospects who could be a little higher on the list or a little lower but this is an early stage for the class. Jrhoopselite will be in constant contact this fall & Winter. The list is designed for promotion of our youth and designed to motivate kids, there are a lot of kids at this level that I have not seen yet and I will not include on the list until I have actually seen them play. I will be out at various tournaments and school games through out the  winter. Again I want kids to understand that you are preparing yourself for down the line, continue to work and get better,  Again if your name is not on the list it maybe an oversight or I have not have seen you play in person. Feel free to give me a call or text sometimes I omit a kids name while in the process of moving them up or down on list by mistake. Again I will say, use for motivation and keep working. Kids get better at different stages. If you are playing somewhere and want me to come check you out feel free to text or DM me. I’m out 5 of 7 days looking at kids all over. Again I do not put a kid on the list until I have seen them. Thanks & God Bless Ricky Moore 773 383-0972

Promising Prospect # 38

” By Leaps & Bounds “

There is a kid whose game has grown so much as a player in the past year it’s crazy, I mean his game has expanded “By Leaps & Bounds” a kid who played in my league over a year ago whom I said ” He Has A Chance, He Has The Right Tools!!” yet young fella didn’t seem to have the desire, or assertiveness I knew he needed. Young Fella was teasing me with one or two moves a game and that would be it. I watched several games where he just ran up and down the floor and was a non factor on both ends, yes he looked the part but wasn’t living up too what ” I Knew He could Be” Our rankings came out I had young fella in the mid 30’s people would ask me, is he a 30’s player? I would say no he can be as good as everyone in the class  he is a Top 5 talent in the class, but this will motivate him, I’m Not Giving Him Anything, He Will Earn It With His Play..  I never mentioned that to young fella ,” I said it too a couple of coaches and shoe company affiliated AAU Coaches When They Asked. I told them that number aint accurate he is the player you need”. The Funny thing is Morez never took it as slight, he was honored too be on the list of 250 kids. Young fella used it as motivation and as a tool of   ” I’ll Get Better & has young fella been on a mission, every month he was in the gym getting better and adding to his game. He has gone from a big kid who could run the court and use his length on defense too a kid who can shoot it from deep, take his man off the dribble, score in traffic, defend the post, brings the ball up the court in transition and can either dish it off too a teammate or ” PUT IT DOWN ON YOUR HEAD!!!” I’ve witness young fella climb the ladder in the rankings destroying any and everyone on the court, a kid whose confidence is through the roof and this after being on teams where he was either looked over or sat behind players. Young fella didn’t pout, he got in the gym and got better and is Jr. Hoops Elite Player Of The Year & now currently our #2 Player In The Class Of 2024. We would like to acknowledge Morez Johnson as Our Promising Prospect ” By Leaps & Bounds

” He Nice With It “

There is a player when I see him he makes me say ” He Nice With It!!” a player who has a much talent as anyone in the class, ” Yes Sirrrr, He One Of Them Dudes”  yet young fella is a team player and plays the game to win so sometimes to others it may look like he isn’t being dominant that just because he is so unselfish and isn’t out here forcing things or playing for the crowd he is mature in his game. Carlos Harris is a coaches  and teammates dream he is all about the team. I’ve watched young fella put on a show and carry his team to victories scoring 25 & 10 on numerous occasions in the games against the strongest competition, the bigger the game the better he plays, he’s not the kid to put up false numbers he is the kid who lets all his teammates eat and when its time to takeover he has that “it gene” to do just that yep ” He Nice With It!!. When I say multi- skilled Carlos fits the bill, he can shoot from deep, he can facilitate for others and he is the best finisher through contact in the Class Of 2024.  Young Fella is also a leader on the floor he knows how too put his teammates in position too succeed, he gives them confidence and I’ve yet to ever see him down on any of his teammates  even after a bad play he is always encouraging. This past weekend young fella was on full display including several games where it was  Standing Room Only Highly intense game with several of the elite players in the class, he left no doubt he is a Top Player In The Class and one of the kids that has my phone ringing off the hook, one of the kids that can lead to a program resurgence or turn around and  one of the kids who has D 1 talent. Jr Hoops Elite would like too acknowledge Carlos Harris Jr as our Promising Prospect ” 37″ ” He Nice With It.

” The Kid Is Special “

The average eye can’t see it, the normal basketball fan might miss it, but the people who know basketball will understand right away ” ” The Kid Is Special!!!” There is a player walking around right now who is unassuming, quiet and sometimes bashful. But the kid game is “ The Truth “ Introducing  !!Antione Glasper  remember the name the kid  has all the tools, he can shoot it from deep, finish in traffic, mid range game is off the charts, has a burst with the ball in his hands  like no other in the his class, vision top tier and has the combination of instinctiveness and  elusiveness that makes you say ” Damn, That Boy  Don’t Know What He Just Did”. All while moving effortless like it’s just a day at the office, I’m telling you ” The Kid Is Special” . What makes young fella that much more special is he has no selfish bone in his body and he has never been a me first kid, he is equally as happy if his teammates are doing well, even tho his talent maybe superior he never tries too overshadow anyone. I’ve witness Antione  score 30 in a game in spectacular fashion, I witness young fella make moves where he makes his defender fall and then knock the shot down making the packed gym crowd go crazy, I watched young fella in standing room only game hit the game winner as time expires and everyone storms the court,  I watched the kid make players 2 grade levels above look like 5th graders, Yep!! ” The Kid Is Special”. Guess what, not in one instance has he gloated, cheered, talked trash, or even made a kid feel inferior, hell I didn’t even see him smile he just walked off the court like ” Business as Usual. Here is a kid we say barring injury will be playing D 1 basketball in a few years, young fella is currently rated in our Top 5 Prospects Class Of 2024 We would like to acknowledge Antione Glasper as  Promising Prospect #36 ” The Kid Is Special”

” There Is Not One”

I don’t care who you have on your team, I don’t care where you are from, ” There’s Not One!!!! ” kid I would rather have shooting my ball in a clutch situation or game on the line than Mr. Emmanuel Mosley(2025) young fella is as clutch as they come. Last weekend young fella knocked down 2 game winning 3’s and led his team to the Final 4. A lot of people were amazed, but too me its been the norm, I’ve been watching young fella since I coached him in the showcase when he was in 5th Grade, I knew then, as he knocked down long range bombs and led us too a championship that this kid was a player. I said to myself ‘ Young Fella is going to be a problem when he gets older. EJ as known too many is a Quiet Assassin, young fella can run the pg spot as he has an exceptional IQ,  pinpoint passing and the ability to break his man down and spoon feed others  or young fella can slide over too the shooting guard and knock shots down with the best of them and create from the wing, here is a player a coach can use in a variety of ways. In an era where shooting is a premium he’s a very hot commodity.  I only trust so many people with the ball in their hands to make the right decision with the game on the line EJ is 1 of 6. There are also 3 kids I’d want taking the game winning 3 or the pressure shot with game on the line of which EJ is in that 3. So when you say clutch and trustworthy you get the point. If its a clear look and  game winning shot is being attempted if I had my money on the line “THERE”S NOT ONE!!!” I’d rather have shooting my ball in Middle School.

7/21.

Poised & Polished

He’s been on the big floor, he’s played in pressure games, he’s heard the crowd, he’s knocked down the big shot, he’s made the extra pass, Yes Indeed!!! he’s a player. Introducing Jaedin Reyna whom I call Mr. Poised & Polished. If you watch young fella on the court you will see his skill level and understanding are very high. I’ve personally watched young fella take over a game in the crunch time and lead his team to victory scoring big buckets,  I watched young fella lock up on the defensive end and shut his man down on critical game deciding possessions. The old school people would say “He’s a Gamer” Young Fella is a player every coach would want on their team because he plays the game to win. I’ve watched young fella over the years play and I’ve never seen him change his facial expression or show his coach up he’s always been very coach-able and listened too his coaches. There is no doubt in my mind here is a kid who we predict will be seeing some varsity minutes in his initial year of high school. There aren’t many guards in his class 2024 that possesses his talent and skill level, look for Jaedin too make his debut in our updated class rankings 2024 next Monday and definitely some people will be moving over because young fella is Top 10 worthy no doubt. When you’re in a tight game and the pressure is on you want this kid because he is Poised & Polished.

All Inclusive , Class Of 2024 Top 250

Mid July Stock Risers

2025 Marshawn Cocroft- Young Fella came in an unknown to us and boy were we pleasantly surprised. Here is a pg who has the ball on a string, can shoot it from deep and is fearless on both ends of the court. We watched young fella constantly break his man down off the dribble and was equally effective knocking down the pull-up mid range jumpshot or pinpointing a nifty pass to his bigs for a bucket at the rim. Also watched young fella in crunch-time knock down long range 3’s too keep his team in the game. If there was a kid who took advantage of playing in the spot light this weekend it was Cocraft.  Our updated class rankings are released 7/21 and look for young fella to make his debut.

Elijah Embry- Young Fella was a beast this past weekend and showed his well rounded game as he hit the long range 3, he controlled the boards, he trough long range bounce passes in traffic to teammates for finishes at the rim and young fella left no question that he is one of the Top 5 impact players in the class when he plays engaged. A fierce competitor whose stock is back on the rise, currently our number 12 prospects in 2025 look for young fella to move back up the list when updates come out 7/21.

Bryce Heard 2025- One of my favorite prospects in the class, I watched this kids game grow by leaps and bounds over the pass couple of years, he came in Sunday leading his team too the Championship. In the Championship game young fella showed he has been working on his perimeter skills, as he has was handling in traffic and hit several pull-up jumpers in traffic at crucial points in the game. Yes currently a Top 5 prospect in the class in our 2025 class rankings look for young fella too move even higher in our update coming out 7/21.

Team All Inclusive Illinois NWI

12. Meanstreets 2028- A group that plays fast and has great guard play, look for this group to be one of the elite for years.

13. Da Future 2024- When this group has all of the players who play with them they are dangerous as anyone, having beat many of the bigger name programs, its just a matter of who is playing for them. Coach General gets talent in the gym.

20. EZ Work 2025- The group has talent and knock down shooters, capable of upsetting many of the teams listed above.

Ricky Moore 773 383-0972

7/14

Top 10 Backcourts Pound For Pound.

1. Meanstreets Bates 2024 – Antione Glasper  and Jaiden Reyna along with Joseph White and Jashon Liggett make this a no brainer that guard line-up is second too none and when clicking on all cylinders its hard on opponnents.

2. Indy Premiere 2024- Isaiah, Dekwon and  Fooley are a problem the feistiest group around and bring plenty of energy and toughness if they can knock down jump-shots on a consistent basis they have an argument about that number 1 spot.

3. Da Future 2024- This group when all playing together matches up with any, Carlos Harris, Tyshun Moore, Gianni Cobb & Lavarius Spann have all the ingredients too feel like they are the best backcourt everytime they step on the floor and you know what ” They Should!!” I’ve watch them destroy people.

4. Team Bad 2025- The backcourt of Fears and Lovesmore has size, scoring and defensive intensity, these two love too compete and want to prove thy are the best every-time they step on the court.

5. Mac Irvin Fire 2026- The group is nice all around and all the guards can play on or off the ball, led by Noah, Marquise, Nas, J.D and Chase the group pressures you full court and have weapons galore.

6. Demons 2027 – When you have possibly the best pg in class Ed (4) Williams and possibly the best scorer in class Devin Cleveland. Then you add to that Tj & Mj you have quite a force.

7. My Journey 2025-  The tandem of  Khalil & Ej are nightmares for opponents. Khalil  gets past his defender at will and spoon feeds his teammates for baskets, Ej is as poises as any with the ball and his jump-shot is deadly. With these two you are very confident entering a game.

8. Dream Chasers 2025- The group has several guards who are capable of taking over and some of the best shooters in the state. Mikai, Amari & Marlo. When you add Yaris too the equation this group jumps up a few notches no doubt.

9. Team 10 2024- The team can play multiple lineups at the guard position, going big, going small, they have shooters, the have heart and they have poise.

10. Speed 2028,  Meanstreets 2028, DreamChasers 2028, – These 3 teams all have a dynamic duos in the  back-court that should make it very interesting for years too come.

Youth Influence Part 1.

“One Of The Good Guys”

Sometimes we just do not understand how important positive men are in our children’s lives, I mean people who do for your child because they want to see them succeed in life, not because there is a hidden agenda. Well Coach Pat is one of that I respect to the utmost, because he had been taking kids from Cabrini Green & Northside Area and giving them a chance too play basketball and see others parts of the city & state, teaching  life lessons for over a decade. Yes he always had a nice group and they won there share of Championships for sure, but that wasn’t his sole purpose.  There are many kids who can say ” Coach Pat Taught Me That!!” He was the coach who packed 8 kids (with no money) in his car and took them to play games, eat, mentor and became the father too those  kids who didnt have fathers. Not only did he take care of them on the court, he would look after his players as they entered schools. I’ve personally witness several conversations he’s had with his players about life. When I talked too him  it was always about the kids, he would spend his last dollar to keep those kids off the streets he wanted to make a difference and not see those kids less fortunate to fall victim to the streets. While Coach Pat  has coached many kids who have gone on to play College Basketball, that was not his total mission, he wanted his kids to learn how to deal with life, overcome different adversities and be productive citizens as adults. Well we at Jrhoopselite would like to acknowledge one of  Near North Finest!! for contributing to our youth and seeing the difference he made in so many lives, the game definitely misses ya “One Of The Good Guys!!”  Coach Pat. Again Thanks For All Your Work With Our Youth.

Feb. Stock Risers

Malachi Deming 2024- Talk about hard worker deluxe, high energy, give everything ya got, battle in the trenches, scrap on the boards and score in the paint. Look no further and put on your hard hat when talking about Malachi. A fierce competitor on both ends ho stock is rising and rising fast. Look for Malachi to make a jump in updated class rankings later this month, also look for young fella at “The Top Prospect Showcase Feb. 22nd as he is eager to prove he can play with anyone.

Tereik Hurd -2027 Young Fella showed the ability too score in bunches racking up points quickly,he shot the floater off the dribble, showed he can shoot it deep, punished the smaller guards in the paint and has the length to be a problem on the defensive end.   In a class that seems to be stacking up nicely Tereik is a guard who can compete with anyone. Playing on a team who may possess the best 3 guard tandem in the state 2027 ATC( (All Through Christ) Young fella is a problem for opposing defenses. Young Fella is a kid who is looking to show he belongs among the elite. Tereik will be at ” The Top Prospect Showcase Feb. 22nd where many of the elite from the Midwest will be in attendance.

Eric Werner 2024- Here is a kid who is tough as nails, plays with a lot of energy and excels in transition and a kid who finishes through and absorbs contact at the rim with the best of them. Eric is fiesty & shows the competitive spirit that all coaches love. He is the kid as a coach you say ” I want him on my team” A kid whom I’ve seen grow by leaps and bounds and if his jump-shot continues to progress as it has people are in trouble. Eric’s Stock is on the Rise!!! Look for young fella at the Top Prospect Showcase Feb 22nd. Here is a kid who when coaches get a look I predict will be asking me, ” Who Is That Kid?” We would like to acknowledge Eric as a Feb. Stock Riser

Dewayne Halibuton 2024- Here is a long active wing forward who shows the ability to do multiple things, having led his middle school in virtually every category Dewayne is looking to take his game to another level as his ability to break his man off the dribble was showed this past weekend in a highly competitive regional final 4 game. Look for Dewayne to make his appearance in our updated class rankings being released later this month as young fella’s stock is steadily rising.
