Montgomery College (JuCo) soph. G Ian Pascal has completed visits to Maryland Eastern Shore & Claflin, I’m told. His recruitment remains open. The 6’4” Miami native was named NJCAA 2nd Team All-American averaging 24.3PPG, 6.2RPG & 3.4APG.

RT @SebaRivera23: Mix from last weekend at @BigShotsGlobal

28’ Kareem Smith-Bey (@kareemsmithbey_) @SJCBoysHoops 6’5 Wing currently Rank in the top 100 in the class @SLAM_HS , 4 ⭐️ had a break performance play up on 17’s in the 27’ in class @3SSBCircuit. 📈 Currently holds offers from: Mississippi St, UMD , WVU , George Washington

FINAL @GymRatCHALLENGE (17u): @TeamThrillUAA 72 D. Davis 30p 3a 2r S. Hill 14p 8a 2r 2s J. Green 10p 2a 1r 3s J. Mancho 8p 6r 1b D. Lunn 5p 4r 2s S. Simley 4p 6r 1s @NY_Lightning 60 S. Ragoo 24p 2r 1a Y. German 12p 4a 4r 2s J. Manya 8p 6r 1a 2b A. Wilson 7p 4r 2a G. Samake 5p 4r 1b J. Desir 3p 7r 1a

‘27 Jordan Taylor’s dominant spring continued this weekend as @NikeEYB play tipped off. The 6’5” forward is packed w/ violent athleticism that comes to light when his forearms are above the rim for lobs, pinning layups against the glass or hauling in rebounds. Continues to flash ability away from the rim as well. 17PPG, 10.5RPG, 3APG in S1

Loved the poise & composure through adversity from ‘29 Dylan Higginbotham. Southpaw guard who can play on or off the ball. Gets to spots w/ pace + balance as he stops on a dime for pull-ups. Paint toucher who plays off two & reads the entire floor. Vision + creativity in PnR’s

‘29 Tylen Kingsby (Huntington Prep) has a chance to be a breakout name this summer. 6’5”-6’6” w/ ideal frame for a wing to go with unique athleticism that pops around the rim. The @teamdurant_AAU standout headlined his weekend w/ a 24PT🚀 vs Melo + game-winning 3️⃣ vs TTO.

Trio of standouts for a short-handed @TopShotBB 17u group in a loss to City Rocks #2 Sebi Buyogueno 📸 26p 5r 3a 1s 1b -Had a red-hot 2Q with 5 made 3s in a row, played through an injury in the 2H to impact the game as a play-maker and rebounder #15 Tyler Brown 📸 17p 11r -Loved his activity throughout the game on the glass as an agile rebounder that collected misses around the rim with a quick second jump, good movement skills make him versatile defensively #13 Jim Gatehouse 16p 5r 1a 1b 2s -Impacted the game as a shooter and rebounder, moved well off the ball, competed defensively to force some tough shots

Old school sense of pride & intensity watching ‘29 Harlem Nunez compete above the rim at both ends of the floor. Emphatic shot blocker, knows when to hold verticality & tries to end anyone who contests his dunks on the other end. 18PTS, 13REBS 7BLKS in a win over Takeover.

Day 2️⃣ @NikeEYB City Series

@HereGoJayAgain Listen, we can give the coaches a pass somewhat because there’s a chance they’ll be on pics or video. The ones that blow my mind are the parents that walk in at 8am like they’re about to go to the club. But maybe they just never left from the night before 🤔

Some of these coaches got their fits on at 8 AM like they had it laid out on the bed like the first day of school fit...gahleee...

‘27 Beau Daniels has always been known as a powerful athlete, but it was the explosion that he showed yesterday in @teamdurant_AAU’s win over Final that popped. Much quicker vertical twitch since he left for @MVABasketball in the fall. Half his makes were felt by defenders or the crowd with the ferocity that he imposes on the rim. 18PTS (7/11 FG), 4REBS @BeauDaniels27 | @NikeEYB

Obviously have seen my fair share of ‘28 Xavier Skipworth throughout his HS career, but I’ve never seen the mechanics on his long ball look as fluid as they did yesterday in @TTOBasketball’s comeback against Melo. If this is what we can expect moving forward, look for his stock to 🚀to elite levels this summer. 22PTS (8/15 FG, 4 3️⃣s), 4REBS @xavierskipworth | @NikeEYB
