<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good 16-hour work weekend and I have a lot of eval notes. So I\u2019m not going give you guys a long intro and will just cut to the chase. Let\u2019s start with my 2024 evals from my weekend at The War Before The Storm hosted by \u201cWar Hoops\u201d at the Duncanville Fieldhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T.J. Burch, 6\u20191 PG - Max Levels Pro 16:<\/strong> Was one of the best guard performers this past weekend. Tough, fast, downhill guard that gets to the teeth of the defense anytime he wants. Strong finisher, the shot, albeit not a big-time asset, has improved and can keep defenses honest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyran Mason, 6\u20195 SG\/SF - Max Levels Pro 16: <\/strong>A wiry, smooth wing that\u2019s equipped with plus length. A potent mid-range scorer that doesn\u2019t need many dribbles to get to his spot, rise up and score. Never doubted the talent, just haven\u2019t seen Mason put it all together for a longer stretch of games. This weekend shows me he can be a program's primary scoring options game after game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Bahr, 6\u20193 PG - Texas Impact 4:13:<\/strong> A strong built guard that will have a major summer. A lefty who gets to the basket at will due to his strength and quickness off the bounce. Bahr is a capable shooter off the catch and did a great job as a ball-mover which resulted in easy baskets for his teammates. Him, Burch and the next guy I\u2019m going to talk about were the best three guards at the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malek Archie, 6\u20193 CG - Southern Assault: <\/strong>I liked the versatility in Archie\u2019s game. Has improved when taking on the role of a primary ball-handler, taking care of the ball under pressure & not getting rushed as much. Still work to be done but seeing growth. Archie applied rim pressure all weekend, due to his ability to get downhill, a solid catch and shoot threat and showed patience as a pick and roll ball handler, surveying the floor and making right reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landon Brown, 6\u20192 CG - Texas Tarheels:<\/strong> When he was in eighth grade I believed Brown would become a high major prospect. It\u2019s been a turbulent high school career so far with his play, but what I saw on Sunday was a step in the right direction. Showcased his athleticism, stop-and-pop game and variety of hang dribbles to break his defender down and get to his spots. If this is the Landon Brown I\u2019ll see more often, then he\u2019ll become a legitimate D1 prospect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angel Sonnier, 6\u20190 PG - Houston Superstars: <\/strong>A scoring guard that when hot from the field, can score in bunches. The shot was on and off from the games I watched, but I like his fearlessness and short term memory. Can score it in isolation or on ball-screens as well as possess quality touch on floaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A.J. Borden, 6\u20194 SG - Family Ties: <\/strong>More I watched A.J. this weekend, the more he grew on me. A big physical guard with fine positional size. He threaded the needle on ball screens, finding the roll\/short roll guy and he embraced contact on drives and finishes. Has garnered interest from DBU and UTA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mac Goodlet, 6\u20195 SG\/SF - Urban ASAK: <\/strong>Mac has added muscle to his frame and it has helped him a lot. Shot didn\u2019t fall at the rate he wanted it to, but he had a lot of good moments. He changes speeds and direction well and absorbs contact with finish attempts. He holds a quick trigger and is a better shooter than he showed this past weekend. The improved strength and handle showcases the upside of what his shot creation and play-making can & that's why I have him on this list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devon Cork, 6\u20195 PF - Dallas Showtyme Black: <\/strong>The younger brother of TCU\u2019s big man Xavier Cork. Although shorter than his older brother at the same time, Devon mirrors the athleticism, energy and grit Xavier played with in high school. Honestly, he may play harder. Lean forward that rebounds, finishes above the rim and love\u2019s altering shots. I wouldn\u2019t label him a D1 prospect right now, but he\u2019s interesting because he looks to not be done growing and could be really good later in his basketball career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Micah Robinson, 6\u20196 SF - Southern Assault: <\/strong>Big, physical wing that can be a reliable secondary, tertiary ball-handler. Like how hard he plays and uses his broad frame to attack and finish. Now, he didn\u2019t finish it great this past weekend through contact, but it was more of a touch thing more so that he didn\u2019t embrace the physicality (Plus, again; I don\u2019t put that much stock in March travel ball play). Robinson will be a quality wing at the next level due to his versatility, toughness and ability to stretch the floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darkaun King, 6\u20197 PF - Houston Superstars: <\/strong>A broad built forward that\u2019s a dancing bear. Doesn\u2019t play above the rim but is super skilled. Can handle it well for size, shoot the three as a trail and pop guy and is a threat as a mid-post player. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Punch, 6\u20197 PF - Urbas ASAK: <\/strong>What level is David Punch? That\u2019s a common question I get from college coaches. And my prior answer? I\u2019m not too sure but it\u2019s a wide range when it comes to projection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After watching him, he just needs to go to the right fit that excels with his prototype. Punch has long arms and big hands, can shoot the three, face-up and attack with an array of moves. His size at his position isn\u2019t bad; but his vertical leap and foot speed are not the greatest, but it\u2019s improving. At the end of the day, a coach that believes in what he can be, I can see David excel at any level of collegiate basketball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Miller, 6\u201910 PF - TJ Ford:<\/strong> Best player at the event and it wasn\u2019t close. I argued to some that I thought he could put himself in the McDAAG potential player category by the end of the summer and so far he has proven me right. At his size, athleticism and skill, there aren\u2019t many in the country in 2024 that have that blend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josiah Moseley, 6\u20197 PF - One Time Legends 3SSB:<\/strong> Behind Miller, Moseley was the best frontline player at the WarB4TheStorm. Carries a potent mid-range, face-up game and passes it well out of double teams. He\u2019s applied muscle to his frame, is strong with the ball and cerebral with his scoring approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nic Codie, 6\u20198 PF - Southern Assault: <\/strong>I talked about Codie in the past and his growing offensive game is what I\u2019m most intrigued about. He\u2019s a four-man, but he can shoot the ball, attack a closeout and exploit height mismatches on the block. He needs to get stronger and not get too perimeter happy but what he can potentially be, is scary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryson McGlothin, 6\u20197 PF\/SF - Texas Impact: <\/strong>Bryson shot 7-8 from three point land and only missed three shots all weekend. A wiry, lean forward with good positional size and shooting prowess. Plays with high energy, agile and makes defenses pay with any space from the perimeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doryan Onwuchekwa, 6\u201910 C - Team Trae Young:<\/strong> Coming off a 4A University Interscholastic League Title with FAB 50 ranked Oak Cliff Faith Family, Doryan had a solid showing in Duncanville. A load in the paint that\u2019s able to make threes as a pop guy on ball screens. Expected a big summer for him as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quincy Hopkins, 6\u20195 PF\/SF - Tulsa Hawks Pro 16:<\/strong> Quincy is my type of guard. Strong built, a bully and plays through contact on every play. A downhill guard that plays with a meanstreak. Athletic, rebounds well for his size and although the jumper isn\u2019t there yet, the mechanics aren\u2019t bad at all; He can have a very good summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notables<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arhsn Lapsiwala, 6\u20192 CG - Texas Impact AE: <\/strong>Skilled combo with high feel with plus pass accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davien Taylor, 6\u20192 PG - Texas Tarheels: <\/strong>Athletic PG that\u2019s strong in the open court as a passer and finisher. Gets to the paint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malachi Drake, 6\u20194 SG\/SF - Max Levels Pro 16: <\/strong>Struggled through first part of the weekend but got hot from deep. 5-of-5 from three vs. Southern Assault and is lethal as a shooter off the catch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junior Sileu, 6\u201910 C - Southern Assault: <\/strong>Very strong physique with a next level body. Holds down the paint on defense, great screen setter and rebounder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
