With the grassroots event calendar getting tighter each summer because of the voluminous number of event across the country and abroad, it would be easy to focus on the elite national level talent who were unable to participate at the 2024 Pangos All-American Camp do to event conflicts or other issues, but what that accomplished from the "half full" perspective was create opportunities for other hungry college-bound players.

The Pangos All-American Camp is designed for national Top 150 prospects, but with the way college recruiting is set up nowadays with the robust NCAA transfer portal, colleges are not focused on high school players outside the Top 50 in credible national rankings, give or take 25 players. Not many of the rising seniors (2025) have committed to college yet where in year's past a handful would already by the time the event that traditionally tips-off summer commences.

Camp Director Dinos Trigonis invited some without the national fanfare but with the talent to take a legitimate shot at being considered a national Top 150 recruit.?

Incredibly, two players, one guard and one big man, came into the camp with zero offers but will leave with plenty of national buzz. And expect the offers to come, too. The guard was 6-foot-2 Darrell Brown Jr., a 2025 prospect out of West Nottingham Academy (Colora, Md.). In the first camp game, Brown's athleticism and explosive drives to the basket turned heads. However, as the game went, it wasn't hard to evaluate that his other skills were up to par too, as Brown is a deft ball-handler and can knock down the perimeter shot enough to keep defenses honest against playing him for the drive. He plays in the mold of former USC and NBA guard Robert Pack?by packing alot of punch around the rim in a small guard's body.

National scouts were a bit shocked to see Brown didn't have an official offer on the table. Which may be a first for a standout Pangos Camp player.

The post player who fell into the same offer category as Darrell Brown was 7-foot rising senior (2025) Tammar Brown of Rocktop Acadey (King of Prussia, Pa.). Now, there can be a variety of reasons why a player doesn't have an offer, especially with big men who develop in the later stages of their high school career. For the soft-spoken Brown, however, it isn't difficult to see he'll be a much improved player two years from now and has a chance to develop into a legit NBA prospect.

Tammar Brown's skill level is quickly catching up to his confidence and in the camp games he showed he can effectively compete with a deep group of camp bigs. He hit some nice turnaround shots and even a fall-away jumper with touch. Tammar Brown also does a good job of asking for the ball in prime post position, runs well and has good length and a frame that gets NBA scouts to take notice.

Expect the offers for both Browns to roll in sooner rather than later.

There were other standouts who did come into the camp with some offers, but should see there list grow. That would include, first and foremost, 6-foot-10 Cody Peck, a rising junior (2026) out of Carmel Christian (Matthews, N.C.). Peck has tremendous versatility in his offensive game, from 3-point shot making capabilities to a nifty package of finger rolls and layups. Peck is light on his feet and is one of the best upside prospects in attendance at a camp with plenty of them.

Some of the other top upside prospects among big men who should see their recruiting grow include 6-foot-10 2025 Jayden Leverett of Chapin (El Paso, Texas), 6-foot-10 Collins Onyejiaka of Newman School (Boston, Mass.) and 7-foot 2026 Keiner Asprilla of Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.).

The wings and guards who fall into this category, among others, include 6-foot 2025 Miles Sadler of Canyon International Academy (Phoenix, Ariz.), 6-foot-5 2026 Dylan Mingo of Long Island Lutheran (Glen Head, N.Y.), 6-foot-5 2026 Elias Obenyah of Salesian (Richmond, Calif.), 6-foot-7 2025 Robert Moore of AZ Compass Prep (Chandler, Ariz.), 6-foot-6 2025 Jayden Vance of Bella Vista Prep (Scottsdale, Ariz.) and 6-foot-8 2026 Christian Collins of Westchester (Los Angeles, Calif.).

Trigonis focused on size to fill out the depth of his camp in order to give the 26 NBA teams who had their scouts in attendance something to log in their memory bank down the line. Many of them were no doubt impressed by the activity level and upside of 6-foot-9 2025 Oswin Erhunmwunse of Putnam Science Academy (Conn.) and 7-foot-1 2025 Xavion Staton of Sierra Vista (Las Vegas, Nev.). Erhunmwunse motor is non-stop and he has the most explosive vertical pop of any big man in attendance. Staton is a relentless shot blocker who isn't afraid to challenge shots outside his area and has a bit of a nasty streak to him, to go along with being a valedictorian level student. Staton was getting challenged plenty at the rim and won a majority of the battles.

There is already some anticipation for Erhunmwunse and Staton to square off in Tuesday's Cream of the Crop Top 30 All-Star Game reserved for the camp's top performers.

That game should also include a matchup of arguably the camp's top guards: 2024 All-American Elite Team member Maleek Thomas, a 6-foot-4 dynamo out of Lincoln Park (Midland, Pa.), and 6-foot-5 2025 Brayden Burries of Roosevelt (Eastvale, Calif.). All of the desired matchups for the top all-star game have yet to be determined after two days of camp games, but it's a safe bet those two will be squaring up at some point on the camp's third and final day.

Some of the other "locks" include 6-foot-3 2025 Jerry Easter of La Lumiere (La Porte, Ind.), 6-foot-3 2026 Ikenna Alozie of Dream City Christian (Glendale, Ariz.), 6-foot-6 2025 Tounde Yessoufou of St. Joseph (Santa Maria, Calif.) 6-foot-10 post-graduate Matt Gilhool of Penn Charter (Philadelphia, Pa.) and his high school teammate, 6-foot-1 2025 Jake West.

The post MEANEST CROSSOVER In High School!? Cole Anthony Is Like a Kyrie Irving w/ BOUNCE! Killa' Cole! appeared first on www.ebooksnet.com.

Cerritos, Calif. -- The 15th annual Pangos All-American Camp had a similar theme to many of its predecessors: it served as a coming-out-party for some of the nation's top talent in the rising senior class and as a platform for elite players to see where they stack up against their peers from around the country.

It was clear the event didn't necessarily have the top-end star power as some of the recent Pangos Camps, but many players considered in the top 30-100 range nationally of the still unsettled Class of 2018 had the opportunity to make their mark and plenty took advantage of the situation.

Players such as power forward and Arkansas commit Reggie Perry of Thomasville (Thomasville, Ga.), 6-foot-6 small forward Jules Bernard of Windward (Los Angeles), 6-foot-2 point guard Devon Dotson of Providence Day (Charlotte, N.C.), shooting guard Anfernee Simons of Edgewater (Orlando, Fla.) and center Bryan Penn-Johnson of Coronado (Henderson, Nev.) upped their stock with national recruiters at the camp.

Perry was one of the many talented power forwards in attendance (it was the position with the most talent) and he shined with his combination of power scoring and perimeter shooting. He also is a strong shot blocker finished up the camp with nine points and four steals in the Pangos Cream of the Crop Top 30 All-Star Game (which was live streamed by Ballislife on Facebook Live). Bernard, a smooth lefty, had multiple 25-point plus games and displayed improved three-level attack from previous camps we've seen him play at. Dotson, an underclass All-American in 2016-17, has excellent open court speed and changes direction well. He is a complete guard and a competitor who plays winning basketball. Simons, who has committed to Louisville, was the top overall combo guard in attendance. He is aggressive offensively and made positive plays on both ends of the floor all weekend long.

With the lack of Top 5, Mr. Basketball USA-type talents in attendance among 2018s (7-foot Bol Bol of Mater Dei of Santa Ana, Calif. played in less than half of the camp games), two juniors-to-be were named this year's most outstanding players: power forward Charles Bassey of St. Anthony (San Antonio, Texas) and point guard Cole Anthony (Archbishop Malloy, Queens, N.Y.).

Bassey, the 2015-16 National Freshman of the Year who used last year's Pangos Camp as his national coming out party, was better this time around and the top overall front-court performer among a loaded crop of big men. He is explosive finishing around the cup and continues to improve his footwork and overall skill set. Bassey wasn't out played in any matchup and helped his camp team to a 4-0 record. He also played well in leading Team Westbrook to a 103-91 win over Team Harden. He finished the Cream of the Cop Top 30 game with 12 points and nine rebounds.

Shooting guard Luther Muhammad of Hudson Catholic (Hudson, N.J.) also hit double-figures with 10 points (to go along with four assists and three rebounds) as did Anthony, who scored a team-high 15 points. Anthony was arguably the most explosive point guard in attendance and is one of the most gifted offensively regardless of class. Nobody could stay in front of him (or didn't attempt to for fear of being a viral mixtape victim) and he was efficient getting in the key and finishing with both hands. The son of former UNLV and NBA point guard Greg Anthony (who hails from Rancho High in Las Vegas and was in attendance) becomes the first underclass guard ever named MOP in the 15-year history of the camp. As co-MOP with Bassey, the duo join eventual 2014 Mr. Basketball USA Cliff Alexander (Curie of Chicago, Kansas and NBA) as the only juniors-to-be ever named Pangos Camp MVP. Alexander earned top honors in 2012 (see list below).

Anthony's high school teammate at Archbishop Malloy -- 7-foot-1 junior-to-be Moses Brown -- led Team Harden with 17 points. Another one of the camp's top post players, 6-foot-10 Kofi Cockburn of Christ the King (Queens, N.Y.) hit double figures (10) in a losing effort, as did Bernard (10).

Pangos Camp Fast-Risers

Among the players who didn't have big national reputations who really helped their cause over the weekend were 6-foot-4 combo guard Will Richardson of Liberty County (Hinesville, Ga.), 5-foot-11 point guard Joe Toussaint of Cardinal Hayes (Bronx, N.Y.), 6-foot-3 combo guard Logan Johnson of St. Francis (Mountain View, Calif.), and 6-foot-3 shooting guard Trey Doomes of Allatoona (Acworth, Ga.).

Richardson, who recently went on an unofficial visit to USC, is a left-handed player who can run a team and really shoot the ball. Richardson was also the guard most under control throughout the camp in terms of making the right reads, avoiding the urge to over penetrate or rely on the spectacular play and being positive when things didn't go his way. After leading his small school to a state championship game, he now has much of the SEC recruiting him and look for him to shoot up in all the respectable national player rankings.

Perhaps outside of Anthony, no guard consistently got in the key and made positive plays as much as Toussaint. A tough customer, Toussaint drew raves from evaluators in attendance and consistently had some of the highest assists totals. He dished out a game-high six assists in the Cream of the Crop Top 60 game. Doomes is a bouncy wing who was efficient in terms of his shot selection while Johnson got better as the camp wore on. He comes from a high school environment that is very system-oriented, but once Johnson understood the individualistic nature of this camp environment, he was one of the most efficient and productive players. He's the younger brother of former Fresno St. and current Miami Heat standout Tyler Johnson and will likely see his recruitment soar to a much higher level than his brother's ever did as the summer rolls along.

Cream of the Crop Top 60 Highlights

Team Jennings rolled to a 121-92 victory over Team DeRozan, as 6-foot-3 junior-to-be Tre Mann of Villages School (The Villages, Fla.) and 6-foot-4 junior-to-be P.J. Fuller of FAB 50 National Champion Nathan Hale (Seattle, Wash.) netted a game-high 20 points for the victors. Mann made 3-of-4 3-pointers, while Fuller did not miss a shot from the field (8-of-8).

For Team DeRozan, Arkansas commit Ethan Henderson, a 6-foot-8 power forward from Parkview (Little Rock, Ark.), led the way with 14 points. Doomes added 13 and 6-foot-5 shooting guard Bryce Willis played well according to trusted scouts in attendance. He finished with 12 points, including 3-of-4 3-pointers.

Johnson finished with 16 points and gets our vote along with Toussaint and 5-foot-10 point guard Tyler Harris of Cordova (Memphis, Tenn.) as the most deserving players who could have been selected for the Cream of the Crop Top 30 game. Johnson was particularly impressive throughout the camp to a number of respected scouts, including at least two who felt he was the most efficient overall guard throughout the three day camp.
