Each and every time Phenom Hoops gets to report or sees a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player.
Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Bryce Slay
Class: 2025
Committed to: Marshall
What Has Been Said:
“Slay was another North Carolina prospect who was able to make the trip down to Florida and compete with some of the best talent around. He was part of a very intriguing team and he was able to bring value to his team when on the court. Slay looked to show his ability to knock down shots and be a threat from the perimeter, but also one could see that he played hard on both ends of the court.”
“It has been a coming out party for Slay at Carmel Christian, as he continues to put up big showing after big showing, helping lead the charge with 2024 Kameron Taylor. Slay though was off the charts, going for 32 points and showing his ability to score inside and out. He plays with a smooth feel in creating but can just be as deadly from the perimeter.”
“Slay looked to make a statement against his former team in UFCA, and he did all he could do to help lead his team. Long, smooth, and a player who can play at different speeds, Slay excelled in getting to his spots and rising over defenders time after time. A smooth and confident shooter that always embraces the challenge.”
“Slay is starting to open more eyes about his game, showing his ability to score in a variety of ways and not just a player who can knock down shots. Though he has a strong range with his game with a smooth, confident release, he is getting an opportunity to show he can be an offensive presence from multiple levels.”
“Given how enamored folks become with the children of former professional athletes, it’s actually surprising that more people aren’t talking about Bryce Slay. Sure, he’s already armed with four Division I scholarships (more than majority of guys in his class) but his offer sheet is guaranteed to expand. Slay’s floor is extremely high as a 6-foot-5 shot-maker with length, polish, and feel on both ends of the floor. That being said, his ceiling is (obviously) even higher. Slay is an efficient three-level scorer who can burden a heavy offensive load with relative ease. Between his athleticism, perimeter shooting, and ability to create shots off the bounce, he’s very difficult for most opponents to contain. Slay is also a useful rebounder and quality defender (with tons of remaining upside in both areas) who understands how to push the break in transition. In terms of raw talent, the wing prospect could easily be a nationally recognized prospect over these next few years.”
