The Noble Elite Camp featured some of the top prospects in the 2026–2029 classes, along with several major stock risers. It was a highly productive weekend, and I’m confident the players walked away with valuable knowledge that will translate directly to their performance this spring as they head into their respective circuits. A sincere thank you to Terrel Harris and all of the coaches who came out and poured into these players—teaching the game the right way and helping elevate their understanding at a high level. We also want to thank our officiating sponsor, Pre-Game Officials, for delivering high-quality officiating throughout the camp, and our beverage sponsor, RECOVER Hydration, for keeping both players and coaches fueled and hydrated all weekend. Appreciation as well to the scouts in attendance—Kevin Howell, Ani Umana, Shu Negga, and others—who took the time to evaluate and support these athletes. A special thank you to the outstanding staff at Parish Episcopal for ensuring a smooth and professional experience for everyone involved. Lastly, thank you to all of the parents for trusting us with your student-athletes. There are countless ways you could have spent your weekend, and we’re grateful you gave us the opportunity to coach, teach, and invest in your sons. 👑 NOBLE | Be Legendary. ⚔️

Sure... When I refer to the 2026 class as the “greatest,” I’m evaluating it through a combination of depth, high-major talent, positional versatility, and overall impact on winning across the state. First, the depth of Division I talent stands out. This class has produced an unusually high number of players committed across all levels of Division I basketball, from Power Conference programs to strong mid-majors. It’s not just top-heavy — there’s legitimate talent spread throughout the rankings. Second, the high-end talent at the top is significant. Players like Bryson Howard, Austin Goosby, and Davion Adkins have proven they can perform at the highest level and are heading into major programs with real expectations. Third, the versatility across positions, especially on the wing, separates this group. The number of 6'5”–6'8” players who can score, defend multiple positions, and impact the game in different ways is higher than what we typically see in a single class. Fourth, this group has consistently produced in high-level environments — strong schedules, national circuits, and deep playoff runs, including multiple state championships and state finals appearances. Lastly, there’s a clear winning pedigree across the class. Many of these players weren’t just talented — they were key contributors on teams that competed at the highest level in Texas. -- Aside from the 50+ currently committed prospects, there are still several uncommitted players who will find Division I homes very soon. Dallas alone nearly produced the same number of Division I prospects that we typically see from the entire state, on average, in a given year. So when calling this class one of the best, it’s not based on one factor — it’s the combination of depth, top-end talent, versatility, and proven production that makes the case.
