What We're Looking For
Phenom's Feast of Champions
Part 2: The Individual Breakouts
Such a great field of talent is coming. The teams are some of the best in the region and the players will be playing in prime time games on television over the next few years. We are excited to be able to showcase Fayetteville, NC as the hot bed for talent that it is
Here are some of the thing we're looking for…
Players
6'7' 2019 Imajae Dodd
Greene Central (NC)
Dodd is one of those must see type players. He has a unique combination of explosion, strength and ball skills that put him in spots to wow those in attendance. He carries 6 Division 1 offers already, but that list is sure to grow. A double-double machine, Dodd is impossible to cover. He has a high profile matchup here against Greenfield and their highlight reel 5-star Coby White on Saturday. From a 'wow factor' this is one of those must watch games.
6'9' 2019 Emmanuel Izunabor
Fayetteville Academy (NC)
Izunabor will be one of the breakout juniors in North Carolina this year. The 6'9' post player is rapidly turning himself into a high level paint protector. A strong 2-handed rebounder with great timing, length and explosion at the rim. He now has a consistent 18 foot jump shot. East Carolina saw the upside and offered on the spot. He is a player who brings an intimidating presence and is making incredible strides year over year. Expect high major schools to continue coming in and recruiting and the offers will continue coming.
6' 2019 Shakeel Moore
Piedmont Classical (NC)
Moore came out of nowhere to turn heads at Phenom's High School Jamboree. His played moved him from off the radar to being recruited by the likes of Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Richmond, East Carolina and others. Moore is a stand out guard who does everything you want a guard to do. He shoots with range, plays with a great pace on the ball, he touches the paint at will, his explosion has him far above the rim in traffic and has incredible length and strength that elevates his game on both sides of the floor. Still no offers, those will come. Along with being a big time college prospect, the mix tape cameras will want to keep rolling when he is on the floor, Moore is a highlight reel.
