Evening Standouts at Phenom Stay Positive

6'9 '21 Bretner Mutombo (Georgia Allstars) The Georgia Allstars roster is certainly loaded with talent, and one could argue that Mutombo is their most enticing long-term prospect.

POB’s Eye Catchers: Day 1 of #PhenomStayPositive (Part 4)

2021 6'7 Alex Rush (Tennessee Tigers 17u): Rush is a power forward that works really well with his back to the basket, facing up and creating off one or two dribbles, or even showing off his mid-range shot.  Liked his feel for the game around the basket. 2021 6'7 Sam Specht (Tennessee Tigers 17u): A young man that has the size to compete down low, which he showed at times as well but also a...

POB’s Eye Catchers: Day 1 at #PhenomStayPositive (Part 3)

2022 6'8 Elijah Gray (Tennessee Bobcats): Gray was off the charts in Game 1 on Day 1, scoring 29 points to help his team to a victory.  He made his presence known all over the court, as the stretch forward was a mismatch scoring from the perimeter, putting it on the deck, and rebounding then pushing it out in transition. 2022 6'3 Sam Cogan (Team Denver NC): Cogan continues to produce every...

POB’s Eye Catchers: Day 1 at #PhenomStayPositive (Part 2)

2022 6'6 Caleb Owens (Next Level Elite 16u): Owens grabbed my attention quickly in this game.  We are talking about a 6'6 prospect that has a comfortable feel on both ends at multiple spots.  He does a lot of the dirty work and works incredibly hard on both ends.  Owens was able to get out in space, find openings, and use his strength well around the rim.  Aggressive nature....
