We are in the final days of the 2023-2024 edition of the University Interscholastic League (UIL) of Texas season. I wanted to highlight some of the underclassmen that have played key roles in their team reaching at-least the regional semifinals of their respective classification. Let’s dive in and take a look at who are taking leadership roles at a young age.?

Xavier Green, 6’ 2026 PG - The Colony: Green is one part of the three headed 2026 monster that led The Colony to a the Class 5A UIL Regional Finals. A sturdy built guard that knows how to run a team but also generate his own offense. Mid-range pulls, floaters and can shoot 3-pointers off the catch. Was impressed also with his defense. He competes on that end as he’s active with his hands and feet, which allow him to be a pest to opposing guards.?

Dakari Spear, 6’4 2026 SG/SF - The Colony: Dakari is arguably the best 2026 we have in Texas and will be known nationally. A rangy, long guard that can really shoot the ball. While moving, off the catch and can attack a close out and enter into a mid-range pull. Tough kid, too. I’ve seen him constantly get to the rim when the game is close to seal the deal.?

Bryce Dixon, 6’3 2026 SF - The Colony: The last one of the prolific 2026 group for The Colony. His energy is unmatched. Physical, rebounds, plays with an edge and plays bigger than his size. He’s a mismatch in the frontline because he beats the bigger, slower guys off the dribble, but exploits size advantages when teams switch when he’s a screen setter.?

Davion Adkins, 6’8 2026 PF/C - Faith Family: Faith Family is still rolling and looking to add another Class 4A state title on the mantle. Big man Davion Adkins has played an integral part this season. Athletic, runs the floor, alters shots at the rim and is a lob/dunker spot finisher. There is more to his offensive game that’s growing, but he’s played his role and to his strengths that translates to a high level of high school basketball. High major prospect in 2026.?

Nasir Price, 6’3 CG - Katy Seven Lakes: A combo that has natural scoring abilities. Back-court of him and Louisiana Tech signee A.J. Bates was a handful. They led their team to a 6A Regional semifinal run before losing to FAB 50 No. 49 Beaumont United (Beaumont, Texas). A lot to like about Price from a scoring output, but I’ve witnessed improvements on his play-making skills as well.?

Kollin Douglas, 6’ 2026 CG - Lancaster: Really shoots the ball and when he’s hot, he provides a jolt of offense for a Lancaster group that’s currently in the Class 5A semifinals. Has played a nice role for this team and looks more comfortable and confident playing on the varsity level.?

Josh Goodwin Jr., 6’4 2026 Guard - Cy Ranch: Josh is really good with the ball in his hands. Good positional size, assertive driver to the rim and can really pass on the move. Throws strikes on skip passes, dump-offs and kicks to the shooter when he drives. Was an integral part of the Cy Ranch group that reached the Class 6A regional semifinals.?

Billy White III, 6’7 2026 SF/PF - Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial: Really more of a three, but can be utilized and provide a lot of spacing as a four, too. Anyways, Billy White III is a marksman from deep that holds a quick trigger. He has range beyond the 3-point line and with his blend of size, length and shooting prowess, he’s been a big-time contributor for a Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial team that is in the Class 5A semifinals.?

Kavian Bryant, 6’1 2027 PG - Palestine Westwood: Bryant had a season to remember and he’s only a freshman. Averaged 30 points per game (yes 30) and led his team to the Class 3A regional semifinals. In a loss vs Kountze, Kavian strung together a 55 point outing. A bucket getter that embraces contact, Bryant is a three level scorer whose approach to the game gives him an edge vs opponents.?

Amarion Hunter, 6’2 2027 SG - Dallas Carter: Hunter is part of a Dallas Carter squad that got to the Class 4A regional finals. Hunter had games where he connected on multiple triples and when he gets hot, he doesn’t need much space to launch. Was a rotation player that brought spacing when on the floor.?

2026 Standouts From TCU Elite Camp http://www.ebooksnet.com/2026-standouts-from-tcu-elite-camp/ http://www.ebooksnet.com/2026-standouts-from-tcu-elite-camp/#respond Tue, 29 Aug 2023 02:34:51 +0000 http://www.ebooksnet.com/?p=272023 Young Prospects Shine!

Spent time at the third annual TCU Elite Camp which consists of some of the best players the state has to offer from the 2025-2027 class. The first edition of my recap talks about the 2026 standouts. Let's dive in!

2026 Class Really Stood Out

We didn’t see many of the high profile names in the 2025 class in this camp but for 2026, an adequate amount of the higher end talent was there. Seven Spurlock is a 6’5-6’6 lead guard that plays with a lot of poise. Plus passer, uses strength to get to spots and has improved as a shooter. Caught the eye of the staff with his play this weekend. Contending as the top player in that class state-wise.

Dakari Spear also is in that conversation and he’s very talented. A combo guard with a crafty handle. Changes speeds well, a solid shooter with clean pull-up game. High upside with the playmaking, too. Game comes easy to Spear. 

Currently the top prospect statewide, Trent Perry made eye-popping plays. Freakish athlete that sports a near 7-foot wingspan at 6-foot-4. Gets downhill, finishes vs. size and has a lot of upside of becoming a defensive play-maker. I like seeing Perry on the ball and looking to take more outside shots. Can tell he’s been working on it and albeit not being a dependable shooter, there has been progress with his shooting. 

Can’t forget about Alex Barther either as he joins the convo. A 6-foot-6 guard that has made strides in his game. Has good positional size, a scorer with good touch on his pull-up jumpers and can switch and be solid on the defensive end. Handle and decision making has vastly improved over the past year. Will be very interesting to see where he is as a senior. 

2026 Notables

Trae Nunn, 6’4 Wing - Waxahachie: Body looks good and has shed some weight. A versatile shooter that can connect on the move, off the catch and off the bounce when attacking closeouts. Really like the growth and commitment he’s made to development. 

Ethan Sheats, 6’8 PF - Denton: A 4-man with good size and could develop into a big wing down the road. Capable shooter from deep, driver to the rim and played with a good motor, especially on the glass. High upside guy that has ways to go but making progress. 

Davion Adkins, 6’8 PF - Oak Cliff Faith Family: Adkins was solid. I’ve seen him play better but it was a guard heavy camp, so touches inside didn’t come at the volume I honestly would’ve preferred. Regardless, a lefty forward that has made headway in expanding his game. Athletic, protects the rim well as a help-side shot blocker and offensively a strong put-back candidate, lob threat and catch-n-shoot guy from 15 feet out. 

Daniel Ogoemeka, 6’11 C - WT White: Didn’t have his best day, either, but being 6-foot-11 with long arms stands out. He blocked multiple shots each game, finishes above the rim and has promising touch around the rim. 

Carter Chism, 6’1 PG - Mt. Pleasant: Crafty scoring guard that has good touch on floaters and runners. His brother Payton, that’s at Collin County CC, is more of a pure point that’s a table-setter/manager that can really defend, but Carter looks more to score the ball, equipped with adequate mid-range pull-up, and has a lot of creativity with the handle. Should consume a larger role this season at Mt. Pleasant and lead them to the playoffs. 

Silas Rodriguez, 6’3 SG - Denton Guyer: A dependable shot-maker from deep, Silas played within his strengths and looked good doing it. Feel for the game, sufficient positional size and deep range shooting was displayed. 

Xavier Green, 5’9 PG - The Colony: Dakari Spear backcourt mate at The Colony strung together three solid games. Quick guard that got paint touches. He may not have ideal height but he’s shifty, puts pressure on the defense and can score it in bunches.
