‘TOP PROSPECTS’ IN DECEMBER GAMES & TOURNAMANTS
5’10 2028 Point Guard Amare Guerra | SA Antonian Prep Lots Have Changed At Antonian Prep Since Last Year’s Deep Playoff Run, Legendary Coach Rudy Bernal Has Hung Up The Whistle, Several Key Pieces Have Moved To Other Schools To Continue Their Career, And A New Coach Is Putting In A New System! That Usually Takes A Full Year To Make That Transition, However One Thing Remains The Same-Amare Is Still The Point Guard Instilling Confidence In Every Single Teammate When He’s On The Floor With His Drive To “WIN” And Sets The Tone For His Team With His Relentless Effort. That Was On Full Display In A Semifinal Game vs SAVM From The Opening Tap With His Attacking ‘Mindset’ As They Jumped Out To a 20 Point Lead In the First Quarter And Never Looked Back. NCAA D1 Merrimack U Commit Is Going To Do Big Things At the Next Level
6’8 2026 Small Forward / Stretch 4 Daniel Briscoe | Belton HS Although His Team Fell a Little Short To One of the Top Teams in The State (St. Mike’s) in the Pflugerville Invitational Championship Game, Daniel Played Consistent And Competed at a High Level Throughout the Tournament. Against SOC In The Semi-Final, He Out Toughed And Out Battled Their Big Man For Position Making It Tough For Them To Catch On Down Low, Knock Down Big 3’s at 6’8 And Made a Lot of Winning Plays That Don’t Necessarily Show Up On Stat Sheets. I Really Liked Daniels Size And Skill Set At the UC Exposure Fall Camp, But After Evaluating Him Against a Tough Minded SOC Squad He Won Me Over Showcasing Competitive Toughness, The Will To WIN, And Played With Tremendous Effort Throughout The Game On Both Ends. Skilled 6’8 Inside-Out SF That Is a Big Reason Belton is Currently 14-2 Right Now. Get Daniel On Your Radar, It’s Only a Matter of Time Before He Starts Gaining More And More Interest From College Coaches! Projected Levels: D1 JUCO / NCAA D2
6’4 2026 Shooting Guard Logan Gonzalez | Cibolo Steele HS Logan Continues To Do What Needs To Be Done To Lead Steele To Win After Win. Whether It Be Guard a 6’8 Post, Lead The Team In Rebounds, Take Charges of Just Flat Out Keep Everyone Calm And Confident With His Consistent Play, You Have To Respect The Growth This Kid Has Made From Year To Year At Steele. That’s Not An Accident, That Happens In the Off-Season When No One Is Watching! Not Much Else To Say Except By The End of the Week He And His Team Were The Last Ones Standing Taking Home The Tourney Title Filled With a Lot of Great Teams. Winners WIN And Logan Is a ‘Winner’ Prepared To Make The Transition To The College Level. Enjoy Each And Every Moment Of Your Senior Year, You Have Earned It Projected Levels: NCAA D2+ / LM D-Committed To NCAA D2 TAMU-Kingsville-
6’6 2026 Stretch 4 David Blount | Harker Heights HS David Has Tools You Can’t Teach that Translate To The College Level. Stretch 4 That Has The Skill Set To Play The 3 in College, Does a Good Job of Making Plays Out of the High Post, Pursues Rebounds, and Has Good Instincts In Help Defense Situations Altering Or Blocking Shots As The 2nd Line Defender. Has a Good Feel for the Game And Got Several 2nd Shots Including Some Big Ones In The Semifinals And Finals of the SAISD Tourney. Another Skilled 6’6 Playmaker That Can Play With His Back To the Basket or Step Outside And Showcase His Guard Skill Set. Intriguing Playmaker / SF That Is a Big Reason Harker Heights Sits at 15-1. Winners WIN And David Makes a Lot of Winning Plays That Will Increase His Recruitment And Level of Recruitment Down The Stretch. Projected Levels: D1 JUCO / Top Ranked NAIA-NCAA D2
6’2 2026 Combo Guard Maurice Eddie | Cibolo Steele HS Maurice Continues To Play With Confidence, Great Pace, And Makes The Right Play Over The Highlight Play From The PG Position. Can Move Off The Ball And Essentially Steele Has 2 Point Guards On the Floor Whether He’s The Lead Guard Or Creating Plays From The Off Guard Position. What I Truly Like About Maurice’s Game Is His Efficient Play And Court Savvy That Translates To The College Level. He’s Flying Under The Radar And Under Recruited, But That Will Slowly Change Over The Course of the Season As He is a Key To Why Steele Is Set To Make Another Deep Playoff Run. That Will Not Go Unnoticed For Long, Expect His Recruitment And Level of Recruitment To Rise Due To His Consistent Play On One of the Top Teams In The Greater San Antonio Area. Projected Levels: D1 JUCO / NAIA+
6’2 2026 Combo Guard DJ Johnson | Austin LBJ DJ is having to play a bigger Role this Year after being a key piece on LBJ’s deep playoff last Season that ended in the 4A Regional Semi-Finals. As the Leader now not just the Lead Guard, DJ is Putting Up Big Numbers Early and Instilling Confidence in those Around him with his Playmaking ability. Does a Great Job Creating Space to get His Shot Off, has Good Shoot Mechanics on his Release, And Shoots a High % from beyond the Arc. He would be a Great FIT in a Up Tempo Fast Paced System with his Speed And Court Vision. Capable of Playing both the PG And Off Guard and Be Equally Effective at Both and Will Hold The Keys to Car this Year at LBJ. How far he leads them in the Playoffs Will Determine His Level of Recruitment. Regardless, his best ball is in front of him he is off to a Great Start. 2026 That Puts Up Points In Bunches And One To Get On Your Radar 2nd Semester. Projected Levels: JUCO / NAIA (Fast Up Tempo Programs Need To Add DJ To Their Recruits To Watch List in 2026)
6’2 2026 Shooting Guard Jayden Garcia | Central Catholic HS Big Guard With College Ready Release And The Size at the 2 Position That Translates To The Scholarship Levels. Moves Great Without The Ball In His Hands, Understands How To Use Angles to Run His Defender off Screens, And At 6’2 With a Quick Release and the Ability To Shoot Over the Top of ‘D’ In Catch And Shoot Situations He’s a Tough Cover. Jayden Gets To His Spots, Stays Shot Ready and Makes Game Speed Cuts Forcing Help Defense To Stay Disciplined, When They Relax He Makes them Pay. Pure Shooter That Shoots Over 40% From Beyond The Arc Which Spaces The Floor And Opens Up Driving Lanes As Defenders Can’t Help off of Jayden. Always a Threat When He’s On The Floor And Opens Up Driving Lanes With His Ability to Shoot The 3 With Range at a High % Projected Levels: NCAA D3+ / NAIA (I Could See Jayden Play His Way Onto Scholarship Level Boards That Shoot a High Volume of 3s)
6’5 2026 Playmaker Devin Peterson | SA Warren HS Devin is a Tough Matchup For Opposing Defenses With His Versatility And Ability To Score It At All 3 Levels. Has a High Basketball IQ and Reads Mismatches Well And Makes The Right Play Depending On Who Is Guarding Him. Takes Smaller Wings Down Low And Finishes In The Paint, Or Takes 3/4’s Out On The Perimeter And Beats Them Off The Bounce. Evaluated Devin in a Team Camp This Summer And He Passed The Eye Test, And Got To Evaluate Two Games This Past Weekend And He Also Passes The Flat Out Can Play Test! Strong So Gets To The Line Or Finishes Through Contact In the Paint When Attacking Off The Bounce. Projected Levels: NAIA+ / NCAA D2
6’0 2026 Point Guard Sean Parks | Killeen Ellison Tough, Physical Guard with a College Ready Body, Understands How To Play The Game and Uses His Strength And Physicality To Finish Through Contact or Draw Fouls When He’s Attacking Off The Bounce. Skilled Passer That Reads Situations Well And Does a Good Job Making PG Plays And Finding The Open Man When Drawing Second Line Defenders. Scholarship Level Defender As Well That Sets The Tone With His Ball Pressure, Mentality And Effort On The Defensive End. A Consistent 3pt Shot Away From Being A LM D1 Level Guard, And Will Have Time On His Side After Committing To D2 St. Mary’s To Add That To His Game. For Now, He Will Bring Toughness To The Backcourt Next Year at St. Mary’s and Could be an Impact Freshmen With His Motor And Mindset. Projected Levels: D1 JUCO / NCAA D2 (Committed To NCAA D2 St. Mary’s University)
6’8 2026 Forward Donavon Bolden | Warren HS Donovan is Flying Under The Radar, But He’s Making The Most of his Senior Season Season And Making An Impact for Warren on the Defensive End And On The Glass! Late Bloomer That Has Only Been Playing Ball For a Few Years. Like The Old Saying “You Can’t Teach Size…” This Kid Not Only Has Size, He Runs The Floor Like a Guard, Has Great Instincts In Help Defensive Situations As a Rim Protector, Consistently Pursued Rebounds Getting Second Shots For His Team & Several Put Backs In Key Moments. Simply Put, He Found Ways To Make Winning Plays Without Being The #1 Offensive Option on a Solid Warren Team Set To Have a Big Season. Big Fella With Big Upside That Would Benefit Going The JC Route Projected Levels: D1 JUCO (If He Goes The JC Route With 2 Years To Continue To Grow His Game He Could End Up With D2+/LM Offers)
6’8 2026 Power Forward Hagen Hurst | SA O’Connor Big Man That Plays Big! Has a Great Feel for the Game, Excellent Passer Out of the High or Low Post, Is Very Efficient On Both Ends of the Floor. Great FIT for a HC Motion That Runs High Low Action And Teaches 5 vs 1 Pack line Principles on Defense. Seals Hard on Ball Reversals And Catches It Close To The Basket By Pinning Which Leads To A High % Shot or FT Attempts. Not a Lot of Flash To Big Hagen, Just Produces Doesn’t Make a Lot of Mistakes, Plays To His Strengths Which Is Under Rated These Days In the Time When 1 on 1 Play is Highlighted On Socials. Basketball Is And Will Always Be a Team Sport, And Hagen Does What He Does Best To Help Teams Win Which Is Why He Secured An Early Offer And Committed To NCAA D2 MSU Denver.
6’3 2026 Playmaker Chris Howell | Cibolo Steele Versatile Tough Minded Defender That Can Guard The 1-3 Positions, Has a High Motor, And Is Starring In His Role For South San Tourney Champs Steele Knights! Chris Is Taking Advantage of an Opportunity By Doing What Is Asked of Him And Doing it at a College Level On A Team Filled With Offensive Weapons. Coaches At the End of the Day PERIOD Want To WIN, If You Don’t Like Your Current Role Take Chris’s Approach And Make More Plays That Impact Outcomes Without the Ball In Your Hands. He’s Impacting Games With His Consistent Defensive Effort, Rebounding & Brings ‘Toughness’ To The Court That Steele Will Need Down The Stretch To Make Another Deep Playoff Run. Projected Levels: D2 JUCO / NCAA D3+ (Great Fit In Up Tempo Pressing System)
6’6 2026 Stretch 4 Jamichael Moore | SA Veterans Memorial Jamichael Has Tools You Can’t Teach that Translate To The Higher Levels, Stretch 4 That Has The Skill Set To Play The 3 in College, Does a Good Job of Making Plays Out of the High Post or Posting Up Smaller Wings Making Him a Tough Matchup for Defenses, And Looks His Best When He’s Active On the Glass. Has a Knack For Getting 2nd Shots And Soft Touch In the Paint When He Secures the Offensive Rebound. I Thought His Scholarship Level Ticket His Junior Season Was How Well He Rebounded To Go Along With Being a Skilled 6’6 Playmaker. His Size And Skill Set Will Continue To Gain Interest, His Ability To Consistently Rebound It Second Semester Will Turn Interest To Scholarship Level Offers. Projected Levels: D1 JUCO
6’2 2026 Combo Guard Gerald O’Neal | Converse Judson Another Prospect That Passes the ‘Toughness’ Test And Competes On Both Ends of the Floor for Judson. Really Good at Getting Downhill In the HC and Making Plays Off the Bounce, And When The Game Speeds Up Gerald Is Tough To Stop With His Size And Ability To Finish Plays In Traffic. Knocks Down Timely 3’s Which Keeps Defenses Honest And Opens Up More Opportunities To Attack The Paint, And Does a Great Job Staying Engaged In Help Defense Outside of Being an Elite On Ball Defender Which Puts Him In The 2-Way Player Category. To Truly Be a College Ready Defender You Must Stay Engaged Defensively Both On And Off the Ball, And To Many HS Players Relax When There Man Gives It Up. That’s Where Gerald Separates Himself From Elite Varsity Players To College Level Recruit By Being a True 2-Way Player. That Mindset and Approach To Consistently Competing Led To Securing a NCAA D2 Offer At Texas A&M Kingsville.
6’1 2026 Combo Guard Damien Ramirez | Wagner HS Tough, Physical Guard with a College Ready Body, Understands How To Play The Game and Uses His Strength And Physicality To Finish Through Contact or Draw Fouls When He’s Attacking Off The Bounce.

Capable of Playing Both The PG And Off Guard Positions In College, Has Consistently Produced for Wagner On Both Ends of the Floor The Past Two Seasons And It’s Only a Matter of Time Before Interest Turns To An Accepted Offer for Damien. He’s Experienced, Tough Minded, And Talented. His Stock Will Continue To Rise In the Spring So Might As Well Take a Closer Look at His Game And Start Doing Your Research On Gerald. Projected Levels: D1 JUCO / NCAA D2
6’8 2026 Playmaker / SF Ethan Bilyeu | SA O’Connor One of the More Intriguing Seniors That Is Still Unsigned Is Big Ethan At O’Connor. Lots of 6’8+ Players Try To Show They Can Be a Guard Exposing Habits That Move Them Off Coaches Boards, Ethan on the other Hand Has The Skill Set To Play The 3 At 6’8 And The Length To Shoot Over The Top of the D Knocking Down Several 3’s & Creating Shots off the Bounce That Caught My Attention. What Kept My Attention Is When He Got 2 Big Boards And Put Backs to Go Along With a High Level Play Chasing Down a Guard In Transition and Getting a Big Time Block From Behind. That Takes Timing, And Basketball Savvy And Showed What Ethan’s Upside Truly Looks Like. If He Can Stay And Play In Attack Mode For Longer Stretches The Small College Programs All Over This Kid Won’t Have a Shot In The Spring To Get Him. He Holds The Keys To Whatever Level He Desires To Play At Down The Stretch. Projected Levels: D2/D1 JUCO - Would Be a Great RS Freshmen At a NCAA D2+ Program With His Skill Set, Size & Upside
6’2 2026 Combo Guard Jaydn Loggins | Belton HS Another Prospect That Passes the ‘Toughness’ Test And Competes On Both Ends of the Floor for a 14-2 Belton State Ranked Team. Really Good at Getting Downhill In the HC and Making Plays Off the Bounce, And When The Game Speeds Up Jaydn Is At His Best Attacking The Paint. Capable of Knocking Down Open 3’s , But is at His Best Using His Speed And Strength To Get In The Paint And Finish Or Find The Open Man. When He’s In Attack Mode He is Tough To Stop And Does a Good Job of Drawing Contact And Getting To The Line When He Gets Downhill. Elite On Ball Defender, Tough Competitor And 2 x ‘Top Prospect’ That Is Playing At a College Level Right Now Heading Into District Play. 2-Way Player To Get On Your Radar As Belton is Set To Have a Big Spring With Jaydn Leading The Way… Projected Levels: D2 JUCO / NAIA (Man to Man Defensive Pressure Teams That Play Fast Are a Great FIT)
6’1 Combo Guard Elijah Gibson | Harker Heights Strong Built Guard That Scores It at all 3 Levels, Has a High Basketball IQ, And Just Has That Look of a Scholarship Level Combo That Could Move Onto D2+/LM D1 Boards If He Decides To Go The JUCO Route. To Talented, To Strong, And Consistently Produces On Both Sides of the Ball To Not Move Up More And More College Coaches Boards Heading Into The Spring. It’s Only a Matter of Time Before Elijah Turns Interest Into Several Offers Down The Stretch. It’s No Surprise Harker Heights Currently Sits 15-1 With Elijah Leading The Way. Winners ‘WIN’ And This Kid Not Only Can Flat Out Play, But He Makes Winning Plays When The Game is On the Line And Will be a Late Steal for Any Program That Does Their Research Over The Break. Projected Levels: D1 JUCO / NCAA D2+

6’0 2026 PG Jaylen ‘Red’ Crittendon | Converse Judson Super Quick Guard Whose At His Best In The Open Court When The Game Speeds Up, Gets Downhill In the Half Court Putting Pressure On Opposing Defenses By Getting Paint Touches And Making The Right Play. Perfect FIT for an Up Tempo Program That Plays Fast and Runs a 5 Out Open Offense In the HC That Opens Up Driving Lanes For Players Like Jaylen. Has Improved His On Ball Defense And Disrupts The Opposing Teams PG By Applying Ball Pressure Without Getting Beat Off The Bounce. Really Liked This Kid His Sophomore Season After My San Antonio Camp Where He Finished On ‘Top’ And Nothing Has Changed. He’s Just Stronger, Grown as a Leader, And Is The Catalyst Now as A Senior on a Very Good Judson Team Set To Make a Deep Playoff Run. Projected Levels: D1 JUCO / NAIA+ (Up Tempo Teams At These Levels Get This Kid On Your Radar)
6’3 2026 Combo Guard Jaden Jones | San Antonio Clark Jaden Is a Big Guard Listed as a PG But Is More of a Combo Guard With His Ability To Score It In a Variety of Ways. Has The Length, Athleticism, And Speed To Guard The 1-3 Spots At the College Level and Would Be a Great FIT in a System That Switches All Screens On The Perimeter And Extends Their Man To Man Defensive Pressure. Tough Matchup For Opposing Defenses As He Can Score It In a Variety of Ways And Stays and Plays In Attack Mode On The Offensive End. Showed The Ability To Absorb Contact And Score It In Traffic And Made Several Plays He Finished And Drew The Foul for an old Fashion And 1. Has a Good Motor, and Has The Potential To Play His Way Onto Scholarship Level Boards Over The Course of the Season. Has The Physical Ability And Talent To Secure A Scholarship Level Offer When It’s All Said And Done. Projected Levels: NCAA D3+ / NAIA (Could Play His Way Into Potentially Higher Offer)
6’0 2026 Point Guard Jzackery Deleon | SA Harlan HS 6’0 2026 Point Guard Jzackery Deleon | San Antonio Harlan HS Jzack Continues To Play With Confidence, Great Energy, And Competes on both ends of the Floor So Still Impacts Games When Shots Aren’t Falling with his Leadership And Competitive Toughness. Makes a Lot of Winning Plays without the Ball in His Hands, And Shoots a High % Beyond the Arc which allows him to Get More Paint Touches by being a Threat from Beyond the Arc. I’ve been a fan of this kid since his first Camp, And that hasn’t changed after Evaluating him with His HS Team in a Recent Holiday Tourney. Jzack at times lets his Emotions get the best of him, but that Passion is why he makes a lot of winning plays and Competes at a High Level! Rather Have That Than Pushing Someone Daily To Play Hard And On Top of that He’s Coachable, Tough and Leading a Young Harlan Team to a Great Start. Track his Progress His Stock Will Continue to Rise in the Spring! Projected Levels: D2 JUCO / NAIA+
6’0 2026 Point Guard DJ Jordan | SA Veterans Memorial Tough, Strong Built Point Guard That Has Quietly And Consistently Been The Catalyst for a SA Team That Has Won Close To 80% of There Games Since 23-24 Season When They Fell One Game Shy of the State Tourney. DJ Doesn’t Care About Flash, So He’s Flying Under The Radar And a Bit Under Recruited But That Can Change This Season If SAVM Makes Another Deep Run With DJ Leading The Way. Look at His Body of Work-All Time Leader In Charges Taken, Top 10 In Assists To Turnover Ratio, 3 Year Letterman On a Team That Has Won Over 80% of There Games, And Is Shooting The Ball at a Much Higher % This Year So Will Be Much Tougher To Guard With His Quickness And Ability To Get In The Paint. Late Steal for NAIA-D2 Programs When Roster Spots Open And You’re Looking For The Best Available Players In The 2026 Class. DJ Checks all the Boxes… Projected Levels: Top 25 NCAA D3+ / Late Steal NAIA Programs Looking for Best Available 2026s

Seals Hard, Keeps Balls Alive On The Glass, And Has a Good Feel for the Game. Extremely Coachable, Top 10% of His Class Academically, And Will Be a Great Pickup for a High Academic Program That Plays Tough HC Smash Mouth Basketball. Projected Levels: High Academic NCAA D3+ / NAIA Programs (Must Have The Right FIT, but If You Play HC Smash Mouth Basketball And Pack Line Principles On D Marshall is Worth a Closer Look)
6’9 2026 Forward Yusef Muhammad | South Oak Cliff One of the More Intriguing Seniors at SOC Is Big Man Yusef Muhammad. Hasn’t Even Scratched The Surface of Playing To His Highest Potential, But His Ceiling is High And at 6’9 With Length And Good Hands, He Has Tools You Can’t Teach. Could Benefit from 2 Years of JUCO Ball To Grow His Game And Reach His Highest Potential Offer, but like I stated the Size and Upside is there and his best ball is clearly in front of him. SOC Plays Fast being Guard Heavy, but the big Fella is Best Suited for more a Tough HC Man to Man Defensive Team That Runs Some High Low Action in the HC. At His Size With Good Hands, He’s a Load Down Low When The Game Slowed Down. Everyone Is Always Calling Look for Bigs Late, Might as Well Get Yusef on Your Radar And Take a Closer Look Earlier In the Second Semester. Projected Levels: D1 JUCO (If He Goes the JC Route He Has LM/MM Potential With 2 Additional Years To Grow His Game)
6’2 2026 Shooting Guard Joey De Los Santos | SA Antonian Prep Joey Has Always Been Able To Shoot It at a High % And Knock Down Open Shots On Previous Antonian Teams, Which Kept Him In the Rotation The Last Two Seasons. Fast Forward To His Senior Year, And He Can Still Shoot It, but Now He’s Playing With More Confidence, Wants The Ball In Key Moments When Amare Is Being Doubled Or Denied, And Makes The Right Play Over Highlight Plays. He Has Taken The Next Step From Piece of the Puzzle as a Junior To One of the Leaders This Year at Antonian And Has Been a Key To Why His Team Is Off To Another Great Start. Joey’s Game Continues To Grow In All Facets On Both Sides of the Ball & Heads Into District Play Flying Under The Radar. If Antonian Can Make Another Deep Run In The Playoffs, His Value Won’t Go Unnoticed and His Stock Will Rise. Sleeper To Get On Your Radar. Projected Levels: NCAA D3 / NAIA (Programs That Run a True Motion And Shoot A High Volume of 3’s Get Joey On Your 2026 Watch List)
RISE IN THE RANKS ‘FUTURE PROSPECT’ WATCH LIST
6’3 2027 Point Guard Chase Richardson | Houston Friendswood HS Although His Team Fell a Little Short, Chase Stole The Show From Start To Finish In Both Games I Evaluated. Has The Size, Skill Set And College Ready Toughness To Continue To Move Up D1 Boards With Two Years To Grow His Game. There Is a Lot of Talent Out There These Days, The Transfer Portal, And Misinformation On Socials Daily That Makes It Hard for HS Seniors To Truly Know What Matters When It Comes To Gaining Exposure. Chase Simplifies It Cause One Thing Will NEVER Change And That Is Showcasing Competitive Toughness, Will To WIN, And Play With Tremendous Effort Throughout The Entire Game And You Will Get Noticed!

6’0 2028 Point Guard Tru Wilson | Cibolo Steele HS I’ve Not Seen Steele Play This Season Until This Past Weekend, And Being Very Familiar With There Main Guns, I Was Equally Impressed With Super Soph Tru Wilson The Starting PG Who Took Advantage of His Opportunity To Fill In With a Senior PG Sidelined with an Injury. He Not Only Stepped Up To The Plate And Showed What His Future Will Look Like Moving Forward, He Was the Lead Guard In Big Games And Did More Than Hold His Own. He Made Big Plays And Was a Key To Steele Taking Home The Ship This Past Weekend. Really Like His Upside, And Has Time On His Side And Showed The Mental Toughness It Takes To Have The Ball In His Hands When Games Are On the Line. Super Soph Whose Stock Will Rise… Projected Levels: N/A For 2028’s (Stick To the Daily Process Tru Your Future Is Bright And Your Recruitment Is a By Product of The Work You Put In Over The Next 3 Years)

6’3 2027 Combo Guard Luke Munden | Belton HS I’ve had Luke’s Teammates Jaydn And Big Daniel at a few Camps in the Fall, But Haven’t had a Chance to See Belton Play Until this past Week. Although I was familiar with his Teammates, as the Semi-Final Game Went On Luke Started to Stand Out More and More With How Many Winning Plays He Was Making for a 15-2 Belton Team. Big Guard And College Ready Shooter Who Moves Well Without the Ball, Gets to His Spots and Knocked Down Big Shots in Key Moments of the Game. On top of that, he did a good job of using both angles, effort and the ‘Will’ it takes to get Stops. Seemed to like the Challenge of Guarding the better Guards, and Did more than Hold his own When SOC tried to isolate him and take it 1 on 1 off the bounce. Not only did he keep opposing guards in front of him, he played with a healthy chip in those moments which stood out. Really liked this Kid, Shoots it at a High Level, Competes on D And On the Glass And Another Big Key to Why Belton Continue To Moves Up In The Rankings. They Could be a Tough Out When It’s all Said and Done… Projected Levels: Top Ranked NCAA D3+ / NCAA D2 (Programs That Run a True Motion And Shoot A High Volume of 3’s Must Get Eyes on Luke Second Semester)
6’6 2028 Playmaker Eden Owne | SA Antonian Prep Long Athletic Wing / SF That Runs The Floor Hard, Finishes Above The Rim In Transition, And Has D1 Level Upside With His Length, Athleticism And Ability To Score It In a Variety of Ways.

Early Lead on a Pure PG That Will Continue To Draw Interest With His Steady Play Projected Levels: NCAA D3+ / NAIA
6’7 2027 Small Forward Asa Sievers | San Antonio Clark Don’t Want To Give Clark HS Head Coach Secrets Away, But As Soon As 6th Man Asa Enters The Game They Run Two or Three Plays For Him For 3pt Shots. You Would Think When You See a 6’7 Checking Into The Game He’s Going Straight To The Block, But Nope And It’s the Right Call With Asa As He Has The Size To Shoot Over The Top of Defenders and his Shot Mechanics & Release Indicate He Knocks Down a High % of Shots Beyond The Arc. Needs To Continue To Get Stronger And Not Settle For Just Being a Shooter They Run Plays For, And His Stock Will Rise And Rise Quickly at Clark In The Second Semester. Asa Is a Legit 6’7 And Can Be a Nightmare Matchup Moving Forward When He Gets In The Mix More Consistently On The Glass And Takes Smaller Wings Down Low And Makes Them Pay! As Those Two Areas Grow Watch Out Cause He Won’t Need a Play Called, He Will Flat Out Make Plays & Become a Mismatch Projected Levels: NCAA D3+ / NAIA
6’5 2027 Playmaker William Franklin | SA East Central HS Not Sure What Position William Truly Is At This Stage of the Game, But I’m Sure He’s a Flat Out Player That Can Play Multiple Positions On Offense And Defend Multiple Positions On Defense. Offensively He Is Tough To Stop When He Gets Downhill With His Length And the Ability To Finish Above The Rim. Uses His Body Well To Shield Off Defenders In The Paint And Gets To The FT Line By Playing Through Contact Instead of Avoiding it! Plays With Good Energy On Defense As Well, And Has Active Hands In East Centrals Full Court Press Getting Several Deflections By Anticipating Plays And Playing The Passing Lanes. Must Develop His Perimeter Shot Moving Forward But Has Time On His Size To Put In The Work And Improve His 3pt Shot This Offseason. Right Now He Brings a Certain Chip To The Floor, Plays With Good Energy And Makes Winning Plays On Both Ends That Stood Out To Me Throughout The Tourney.

Projected Levels: JUCO / NAIA (With 3 Years To Continue To Improve His Level of Play Can Certainly Increase As His Game Evolves)
6’1 2027 2 Guard Jordan Mangum | SA Harlan HS Jordan is a Pure Shooter With Great Shot Mechanics, Quick Release, And Shoots It From Deep With Confidence. Always Moving To Stress Help Defenders, And If They Lose Him for a Second He’s Gonna Be Shot Ready And Make You Pay.
