POB’s Eye Catchers from Carmel Tip-Off (Day 2, Part 2)

2025 Eli Ellis (Moravian Prep): This kid is something special, there is no doubt about it. He doesn’t play like a freshman and his understanding of the game is off the charts. He just continues to expand his game all over the floor, creating with the dribble, moving incredibly well without the ball, constantly getting defenders guessing, and being a scoring threat once he touches the ball. He...

POB’s Eye Catchers from Phenom Summer Showcase (Day 1, Part 3)

2022 CJ Collins (Greensboro Day): Collins played strong in both outings today, especially with his activity level on the glass.
