Johnqwell Gardner | Wing/Forward | Class of 2027 | 17U
Gardner made a strong early impact, reaching double figures by halftime with a dominant interior scoring presence. He uses his size effectively, carving out space in the paint and finishing through contact. His footwork stands out for a player with a bigger frame, allowing him to operate comfortably around the rim. Projects as a physical wing/forward hybrid who can punish mismatches inside. Continued development of perimeter skills will raise his ceiling.
Carmelo Hurst | Guard | SiPP United (MI) | 11U
Hurst is clearly the offensive engine for his group. A volume scorer who can heat up quickly, he embraces the role of primary option and shows confidence in creating his own shot. When he gets into rhythm, he can carry stretches of the game offensively. As he develops, refining shot selection and playmaking reads will help balance his scoring instincts.
Christian Carter | Guard | SiPP United (MI) | 11U
Carter’s game is built on craft and control. He uses footwork effectively to create driving angles and keeps defenders off balance with a polished hesitation dribble. Shows touch with both a pull-up jumper and a soft floater, making him a multi-level scoring threat. Continues to trend upward as a guard who understands pace and change of speed.
Easton Polite | Guard | Team Shammgod | Class of 2033 | 11U
Polite plays within the flow of the game and demonstrates a willingness to share backcourt responsibilities. Capable of getting downhill when needed, but doesn’t force offense. His team-first approach stands out, and he contributes by making the right reads rather than dominating the ball. As he matures, added assertiveness could unlock another level.
Sebastian Suares | Guard | Team Shammgod | Class of 2033 | 11U
Suares brings intriguing size for a young guard and pairs it with a diverse offensive skill set. He uses a variety of moves and shows a good feel for managing possessions, often turning them into productive outcomes. His combination of length and skill gives him long-term upside, especially as he continues to refine consistency and decision-making.
Will Gosby (#10) | Shooting Guard | Cooz Elite | Class of 2027 | 17U
Gosby thrives as a perimeter specialist with clear defensive energy. A knockdown shooter, he spaces the floor effectively and capitalizes on scoring opportunities. Defensively, he sets the tone at the top of the press, actively hunting steals and creating transition chances. His two-way activity makes him a valuable role player with impact beyond scoring.
Joelle Rover | G | 6’2 | 2027 | MPJ Elite (17U)
Explosive athlete who finishes above the rim. Finds open space in transition and makes the right reads to create opportunities for teammates.
Jaden Hopkins | PG | Class of 2027 | Southern Ties (OK) 17U
6’1” floor general with strong leadership qualities. Prioritizes getting teammates involved and orchestrating the offense. Balanced guard who can score when needed, despite pass-first tendencies. Adds value with athleticism on both ends of the floor.
