6’6 ’25 Derek Studer (Foothills Basketball)
Although he’s already committed to Roanoke, Studer took the opportunity to play a few games in front of his new head coach. It’s easy to see the increase in confidence and the expansion of his skillset over the last twelve months. Studer still possesses a lot of ability as a smooth, polished scorer around the basket. He finishes with both hands, displays nice footwork, and sees the floor well as a passer. However, Studer has become quite reliable as a floor-spacing option. He is capable of hitting perimeter jumpers or attacking off the bounce when necessary. Studer rebounds well and positions himself to make plays on defense.
6’1 ’26 Brady Clark (Foothills Basketball)
There are so many meaningful, college-level pieces on this roster that we will need to take a closer look at the entire team, but it’s easy to see everything Clark does as a floor general. He consistently dictates the tempo, touches the paint, and makes smart decisions with the ball in his hands. Clark scores at an efficient rate and sees the floor really well as a passer. He displays terrific pace and poise with the ball in his hands. Clark is also a quality defender who knows how to mirror opposing guards at the point of attack. Despite being one of their newer additions, he should certainly appeal to college coaches.
6’8 ’26 Ny’Zion Ballard (Garner Road)
Certainly one of the top prospects on display, Ballard continues to impress through his incredibly impactful, low-maintenance approach to the game. He’s a high-level defensive anchor with the length, mobility, and timing to legitimately protect the rim. Ballard plays with consistent energy on either side of the ball. He controls the glass as a rebounder, runs the floor effectively in transition, and finishes well around the basket. Ballard’s ability to hedge and recover, wall-up against driving opponents, and instincts as a shot-blocker make him a real problem for opponents. He’s a capable finisher (through contact and above the rim) and post-up threat, but he truly knows how to impact the game without needing a ton of offensive involvement.
6’4 ’26 Kellum Brown (Garner Road)
Arguably the most consistent performer in attendance, Brown was undeniably impressive. He completely set the tone as a true three-level scorer. Brown appeared comfortable creating for himself and others, but also found a lot of success as an off-ball threat. He efficiently filled it up from all levels, featuring a blend of drives, pull-ups, and spot up jumpers. Brown moves very well without the ball to find offensive opportunities as a cutter. He’s a willing passer who sees the floor and looks to make the right play. Brown showed flashes of dominance through his offensive prowess while still making a strong impact defensively and on the glass. He should be a target for a lot of programs.
6’7 ’26 Emmanuel Kamara (TNT HoopSquad)
Given how much constant pressure he applied towards the rim, it would be impossible to ignore everything Kamara did throughout the event. He’s incredibly long and explosive with the ability to seemingly finish everything he attempts around the basket. Kamara constantly played above the rim for powerful, aggressive dunks, but also finished with both hands or through contact and appeared comfortable spacing the floor as needed. He’s a really tough, physically overwhelming player who competes with terrific energy and runs the floor hard in transition. Kamara rebounds the ball at a high rate, battles for extra possessions, and plays very well to his strengths.
