We continue our coverage from the Phenom Team Camp this past weekend, as we had a chance to look at several teams in action and get an early look at many.

2026 Markus Kerr (Chambers): A new addition to the group at Chambers, it seems like the young man was able to fit right in and give this group yet another weapon at their disposal.

The depth is all there, the talent is all there, and the coaching staff is there for this program to make a TON of noise.
