2027 Travien Williams (1of1 Elite)
Williams was one of the best prospects at the event that impressed me. Knowing his game really well already, Williams continues to flourish with his ability to be a strong scoring threat. No matter the defense or occasion, Williams was relentless in his ability to attack off the bounce, getting to his spots when he wanted, showcasing his ability to create and break down defenders, and also be a strong facilitator. Williams continued to show what he did all high school season, and it is time for more schools to enter the picture for him.
2027 Jayon Connor (Dub Salem)
Connor continues his trend upward and after watching him this weekend again, it will be hard to imagine that his recruitment doesn’t take off. The 6’7 prospect continues to shine with his versatility, motor, and athleticism, creating so many problems for opponents on either side of the court. Connor is excellent in securing the boards and pushing in transition, attacking out in the open floor, and going from rim to rim. He finishes well through contact, attacks the rim, and constantly puts pressure on the defense.
2027 Brayden Gatling (SW15H Elite)
Gatling continued to show why he is such a productive and reliable guard on the floor. He brings a tremendous overall feel for the game, consistently reading defenses, seeing the floor, and making the right decisions. Gatling attacks with purpose, applying pressure off the bounce while also showing the ability to create for others, giving him a strong balance between scoring and playmaking. What stands out most is his composure and control, as he plays with confidence and poise, allowing him to impact on the game in a steady and efficient manner.
2028 Thomas Bowes (SW15H Elite)
I’ve been a fan of Bowes’ game for some time now and I believe this is the summer he starts catching the eyes of his potential. He is a legit 6’7 prospect that can be effective from several positions. He led the offense well in showing his ability to be a big guard that can handle in running the offense. Bowes also mixes it up well with his scoring, using his size well to attack or playing off the ball in catch-and-shoot situations to be a perimeter threat. He offers a lot to the table and his stock should be rising.
2027 Dillon Mason (1of1 Elite)
It had been a while since seeing Mason in action but you can tell he has put in the work with his game, gotten bigger and stronger as a prospect, and is trending in the right direction with his overall game. Mason brings a sturdy frame at 6’6, being able to flourish in a variety of ways. He attacks well off the bounce and gets downhill with athleticism and strength, as well as being capable of stepping out and being a threat from outside. Mason truly can play and defend multiple positions, as he should be on D1 radars.
2027 Owen Hancock (Dub Salem)
Even though he was one of the smaller guards on the floor, Hancock proved to be a dynamic weapon from behind the arc. He plays with confidence and swagger, understanding where he can be the biggest threat from behind the arc. Hancock gets to his spots and doesn’t need much space or time to get his shot off, as he can let it fly and knock it down, filling it up from three. When he is hitting, it opens up everything else for his teammates, making it very hard to defend.
