POB’s Eye Catchers from Day 3 at Phenom Anthony Morrow
2023 Brock Rose (Ardrey Kell): Even though it has been a tough week overall for Ardrey Kell, Rose should have opened more eyes about his play. Rose continues to be a lethal weapon for his team, especially with his pull-up game and ability to score in catch-and-shoot situations. He moves exceptionally well without the ball to get to his spots and has an extremely quick release, and does a great...

Eye Catchers from Coach Rick’s TOC: Class of 2023 (Part 2)
2023 Jacob Tiller (Team Swish): Tiller was a consistent presence on the court and really showed that he can lead the charge offensively. But outside of his offensive capabilities, Tiller showed that he is a hard-nosed, tough, and a player that leaves it all out on the court. He plays with high energy, brings good athleticism, and plays with a chip on his shoulder. Offensively though, he...

POB’s Eye Catchers from Phenom Grassroots TOC Day 1
2023 Kanye Nelson (York County Legends): Nelson came out strong and really put his name on the map out there to start his weekend.

Galvani’s Standouts from Day 2 at Phenom MDC
By: Lauren Galvani 2022 6’7 Jeremy Dixon (Team EAT 17u) Ultimate team-first player! Aggressive and physical wing who is explosive in the open court. Did a good job of rebounding the ball and was able to go coast to coast on multiple occasions. Jeremy is a 3 level scorer and while he has a knack for scoring the ball, he did a great job of finding his open teammates. Good use of both hands...
