POB’s Eye Catchers: Phenom Jamboree Bash/ Hoop State League (Part 2)

2022 6’6 Daniel Sanford (Cougars 704): Sanford continues to make his game known and he continues to expand with how he can operate on the court.  First off, he looks and plays like a grown man on the court, physically outmatching everyone for the most part.  But it is his work ethic on both sides that should have big-time schools calling his way. 2022 6’4 Silas Demary (Chris Clemons...

Special K’s Hoops Take: Day 1 Early Standouts

Chase Lowe 6’4 Kheni Briggs 2022 of The Wonders Varsity was very impressive in his first game today. His unique ability to balance creating for his teammates and scoring was something to be intrigued by.

Early Standouts at Day One of Phenom Jamboree Bash

6’3 ’24 Zion Collins (Team Thrill) There was a lot to like about Collins showing in the first game of the day, specifically through his IQ and decision-making as a creator. His size and physical tools will always make him appealing at his position, but his identity as a floor general might genuinely be his calling card. Collins is capable of creating and scoring in a variety of different ways,...

Player Standouts at Session II of Phenom HS Jamboree

6’5 ’21 Lucas Taylor (Heritage) The Raleigh area is filled with talent and Heritage has as much as anyone, especially given how Taylor looked today. He’s long, athletic, and skilled which makes him a matchup problem at his size and position. Taylor is an impressive offensive player, but has even more tools and ability on the defensive end. He’s a likely candidate to start collecting Division I...

Afternoon Standouts at Phenom HS Jamboree

6’5 ’21 Mike Dudley (United Faith) United Faith always possesses a ton of talent, but Dudley might be the most enticing of their current group. He checks so many boxes, from size to shooting to athleticism, and should only continue to get better. Dudley is so smooth that he’s able to actively toggle between being a primary offensive option and scoring as needed. He could really take off this...

Phenom High School Jamboree: Eye Catchers Part 1

Southern Guilford Tyler Dearman (2019, 6’4): Lengthy prospect that brings more of an outside game offensively but can play multiple positions defensively. Solid understanding on how to get his opponent off balance, finding his way to put points on the board.

Greensboro Day Cam Hayes (2021, 6’1): absolute stud at the guard position, plays and looks much more experienced than his listed year.

Kevin’s Fab 5 Phenom’s High School Jamboree   6’4 2019 Julius Burch: Southern Guilford High School Julius Burch had a pretty good day making an impact throughout each game.

Early Afternoon Recaps: #PhenomHSJamboree Court One @ Proehlific Park

Metrolina Christian Vs Rabun Gap This was a great matchup between two relatively evenly matched opponents that was a display of great fundamentals for both squads. The Metrolina duo of 6’2 2019 Tate Johnson and 6’8 2019 Stephen Clark (Citadel Commit) were simply sensational at breaking down the defense and finding good shots seemingly whenever they wanted. Clark is one of the more fundamentally...
