PHENOM G3 SHOWCASE EVENT RECAPS
Three Must-See Prospects for College Coaches at G3 Live Showcase
6’3 ’26 Ian Bailey (Team Vision) Seemingly every coach who watches Ian Bailey becomes a fan, yet his recruitment doesn’t align with his appeal and overall abilities. He enters the live period with offers from Stetson, Western Carolina, and UNC Asheville…pretty surprising for a guy who has been the epitome of a productive leader with no baggage or glaring weaknesses. However, coaches will have...

Sneaky Players for Programs to Look at: Mint Hill Lakers
2026 6’0 Tyrin Graham Graham is a player who has really burst onto the scene this summer and should be a name to reckon with in the Class of 2026. The 6’0 guard can fill it up and be a game-changer with his shot-making, his range, and his overall scoring ability. Time after time, he has put his 3-point shooting on display but is quick enough to make plays off the dribble. A true playmaker and...

Players Walking Away on Radars: Phenom G3 Live (Class of 2025)
2025 MJ Williams (Team Trezz): Williams had big showing after big showing coming into the event, and he only backed it up down in South Carolina. Williams is a guard who simply understands how to be an effective offensive weapon, being a tremendous creator with the ball in his hands. Quick, shifty guard who attacks downhill, scores over defenders well, and picks his spots from a variety of...

Don’t Overthink It: Mid-State Magic should be a target for College Coaches

Unsigned Senior Spotlight: 6’6 Brayden Venable
At the beginning of each new year, Phenom Hoops works to assemble a series of articles centered around unsigned senior prospects. Last season, hundreds of players from North Carolina went on to play at the Division I, II, III or NAIA levels, and that number looks likely to continue increasing with the current senior class. Typically, we take a closer look at guys who are overlooked and...

Young Prospects Worth Noting from Phenom G3
5’10 ’28 Christian Hargett (FBP Elite) There were a lot of impressive young guards on display, and Hargett was quietly as notable as any of them. He’s a smart, smooth, dynamic floor general with an excellent balance between scoring and playmaking. Hargett consistently generated clean looks for himself and others and made smart decisions with the ball in his hands. He scored the ball from all...

Three More Unsigned Seniors from Phenom G3 Live
6’7 Dylan Mann (Strong Center) Given his impressive growth over the last few months, Mann has clearly vaulted himself into being a next-level prospect. He doesn’t do anything flashy, simply provides a steady, reliable presence on both ends of the floor. Mann displays nice touch and an understanding of how to score with his back to the basket. He moves well for his size and runs the floor...

Players to Watch: Phenom G3 Showcase (Part 4)
2025 Rilpuou Makoi (Team Loaded 17u): “The younger brother of Gabriel Mabor, Rilpuou is another big who shows good glimpses of his ability to post up and operate down in the paint, while also bringing a true rim protector on the court. Mabor gives you those flashes of his improvement, being able to show touch at times but also moving well all around the floor. And again, he can make an...
