Cam Smith<\/strong> is a welcoming addition to the squad. At 6\u20195 and sporting a 6\u20198 wingspan, Smith is a lefty wing-guard that plays with length. He thrives in transition as a finisher, attacks closeouts and is an adequate driver to the rim. Also, Smith is a capable shooter with clean looking mechanics. Defensively, he intercepted passing lanes and used length to bother shots when defending on-ball. Like the upside with this one, as Smith can be a defensive playmaker and also a versatile offensive threat down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHis teammate at Duncanville and the go-to-guy, Kayden Edwards<\/strong>, had a strong showing at the as well. Lefty with one of the fastest releases in the state and can make shots from all over the court. As his ball-skills and strength have improved, it\u2019s allowed him to open his game and get to his shots. Prior, he was more of a spot up guy, but because he\u2019s more comfortable creating and putting the ball on the floor, Edwards can keep the defense guessing on when he will release.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nVersatility of Kash Polk<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSomeone that may not have popped out to some but really impressed me was Kash Polk<\/strong>. He\u2019s about 6\u20197 with plus arm length and he just gets a lot done on the court. Rebounds his butt off, is a grab and go candidate, looks to get to the rim, assertive pursuit to the rim and can make shots from the perimeter. An automatic double-double guy that competes on the defensive end, too. Seeing him commit to guarding the primary ball handler and also tussle with the bigs on the block was a good thing. Polk makes winning basketball plays and I think will end up in the 10-15 range in the 2025 class when it\u2019s all said and done.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nSouth Grand Prairie Will Be One To Keep Tabs Of<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSouth Grand Prairie has three 2025 prospects that catch my eye consistently and will play big roles this season. Cam Carroll <\/strong>is a 6\u20192 combo that\u2019s a D1 guard. Physical, has a strong frame and is shifty with the ball. He showed more of his passing this last weekend and that\u2019s been the swing skill for him\u2026. How well or willing is he as a passer? I definitely believe he\u2019s growing in that department as he\u2019s someone that is a regular visitor to the paint and seen him make kick-out passes to the shooter in the corner or dump it off to the post. Cam Paul<\/strong> is a big wing at about 6\u20197 with guard skills. He can make tough shots and is strong as a pull-up shooter. Coupled with his motor and strength he\u2019s added to his wiry build, Paul has emerged as a high major prospect in a loaded 2025 class. Markece Young <\/strong>is the last one and he\u2019s a yunk-yard dog. Rebounder, defender, driver to the rim. Like his competitive nature and pursuit to get to the paint and finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nGuard Standouts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nLD Jones, 6\u20193 2\/1 CG - North Forney: <\/em><\/strong>Was a good performance day for LD. He can be inconsistent but he holds immense talent. An athletic guard that can score it in bunches. More comfortable playing off the ball but showed some nice playmaking abilities in the open court. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCaleb Steger, 6\u20194 SG - Dallas Jesuit: <\/em><\/strong>Caleb showed his shooting prowess. A reliable shooter with a stockier frame. Regardless if that was on movement, spot up or mid-range pull-up, Steger was knocking it down.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nJaCobe Coleman, 6\u20192 CG - Pace Academy: <\/em><\/strong>A natural scorer that\u2019s athletic. Gets downhill and finishes utilizing strength and touch. Holds a quick first step and fearless in regards to pulling the trigger from deep. <\/p>\n\n\n\nJaylon Dean-Vines, 6\u20195 Wing - Kimball: <\/em><\/strong>An athletic wing-scorer. Explosive finisher and an adequate pull-up shooter. Has improved as a shot creator in the last year and I expect a breakout year at Kimball. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRoman Miller, 6\u20193 PG - Mustang (OK):<\/em><\/strong> I like this kid\u2019s game a lot. A pg with good positional size and feel. A stable live-dribble passer that showed efficient mid-range game. I like how he balanced playmaking and scoring. He comes from a family of strong basketball bloodlines as his dad is the all-time leading scorer at East Central in Oklahoma.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nJamison Thrower, 6\u20193 CG - WT White: <\/em><\/strong>A great addition to WT White, a team that carries an immense amount of size in the front-court. Jamison has a good canvas and can score and facilitate well. Got to the rim and when given space, he kept the defense honest by connecting on a couple jumpers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nLeroy Kelly IV, 6\u20192 2\/1 CG - Dynamic Prep: <\/em><\/strong>A natural scorer with good feel for the game. Leroy attacks closeouts well and has a clean pull-up jumper from mid-range and is a dependable shooter from deep off the catch. He\u2019s been consistent and productive on offense everytime I see him and the TCU Elite Camp wasn\u2019t anything different.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBigs<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nDavid Iweze, 6\u20198 PF - Ischool: <\/em><\/strong>A forward prospect with more skill to his game than given credit. Handles well for position and size, outside of Parker Jefferson, was the second best big man passer at the camp and defensively covered ground due to his long arms and long strides.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nAmari Reed, 6\u20196 PF\/C - Lancaster: <\/em><\/strong>Can tell Amari has been working on expanding his game. Attempted threes, although I didn\u2019t see one go in I did see his willingness to drive to the rim and attempt jumpers when open. Still has ways to go but I can appreciate the fact that he will try to do the things he\u2019s been working on in this setting. A hard-playing post with big-time length at over 7-foot. He tries to dunk everything, block everything and rebound every miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nAidan Duran, 6\u20196 PF - PSAT: <\/em><\/strong>Was a solid contributor at the camp. Really a tweener that can score inside and out. A mismatch forward when his shot from the perimeter is on, he\u2019s hard to guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJayden Leverett, 6\u20199 C - Chapin: <\/em><\/strong>He was good at the camp. Still raw but played well. One thing that really stood out to me was how quick he processes things. He applied the post-moves and positioning that was taught at the camp and transferred it immediately to the game. That\u2019s not normal in most camp settings, especially for bigs, but for Jayden it was no problem and it equated to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHudson Goellner, 6\u20198 PF\/C - Rockwall: <\/em><\/strong>A hard playing, strong forward that is active on the glass. Like his motor, ability to play through contact and get positioning inside. A glue guy that provides more than what\u2019s seen on the stat sheet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Junior-To-Be Standouts! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":272133,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8316,1444,3176,6886,8320,46250,23192,416],"tags":[46606,44851,46605,7878],"featured":[],"class_list":["post-272132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-all-blogs","category-events","category-exclusive-videos","category-grassroots-coverage","category-news","category-profiles","category-hs-south","tag-jason-scott","tag-parker-jefferson","tag-tcu-elite-camp","tag-texas-high-school-basketball"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
