Poised, heady, alert, and HSHM (high skill high motor) wing with outside range and mid range confidence, elite jump shot elevation and accuracy.

Versatile, skilled and athletic big wing. Reads passing lanes well and is dangerous in transition.

Super competitive 2021 Jumbo guard, elite handle, speed, and athleticism. Makes open shots, high motor and is driven to win.
#5 Jacorey Brooks 6'1"South Florida Elite (FL)
A strong,decisive, and explosive 2021 guard that’s a match up problem for most. Usually draws double teams and makes plays.
#6 Jalen Black 5'7 Team Teague
Deceptive highly skilled floor general w/ poised demeanor that hunts the paint to create, has very smooth shot and pesky defense.
Players to Watch
If you were not featured, either we did not get a good look at you enough to have an opinion, or you did not put forth a standout performance in the 5 games allotted: our advice is to keep working on your skillset, be more mobile without the ball, defend each possession, and continue to attend and perform at high competition events
