UC Exposure Alumni

Justin

Burns

Active Defensively, runs the floor like a Guard, and attacks the glass on both ends of the Floor. Still Raw Offensively but the foundation and tools are there for Justin to turn into a very good Small Forward at the College Level with his Motor and Upside. Right now he brings Defense & Rebounding to the Floor, and plays with great Energy. Has the length, agility, and athleticism to guard multiple positions, and does a good job finishing around the basket. I can see him going the JC Route, and after 2 more years to continue to grow his overall Offensive Skill Set, he would have several options at the D2/LM Levels.

Gian

Carlo

Gian doesn't pass the eye test walking in the door, but he passes the ‘can play’ test if you get a more in-depth look like you do at UC Exposure Camps. 2 College Coaches listed him as a small college Combo, scores it at all 3 levels, and just finds ways to put points on the board. Scores it in bunches and uses his body well in the paint to shield off bigger guards, finish plays, or draw fouls. Gian has a very quick first step and gets to the paint at will making plays for himself of finds the open man. Not surprised that he was voted Offensive POY while Leading His Team To 30 Wins and the 4th Round of The Playoffs Avg. 18.6ppg

Isaiah

Carrillo

Isaiah is a skilled SF that could end up being a very solid small college PnR prospect at a D2/D3 JUCO so he has room to grow into his full potential. Has a nice touch from 3 when his feet are set, skilled passer
and deceptive athlete who runs the floor well in transition. Defensively, he has the god given tools to be able to guard the 2-5 spots at the D2/D3 JUCO or NCAA D3 levels. This kids best is in front of him as he fills out physically and plays with more consistent effort on both ends. Has some tools you can't teach, and as a young Sr (17) his best is clearly in front of him.

Trevin

Coffell

Played tough and physical from the opening drills, has improved his overall perimeter skill set knocking down several 3s, and out worked and out played bigger market ranked prospects to finish on
TOP. Plays with tremendous energy, active rebounder, and just flat out finds ways to WIN. Every college coach on staff used the same verbiage when describing Trevin and that was: Tough, High Motor, Winner. 3 Traits that should take Trevin from great small school player to college signee when it’s all said and done. Watching the progress he's made in the past year, you will be getting a 6'5 Playmaker with his best in front as he continues to put in the work.

Nate

Coley

The best pass first PG and decision maker with the ball in his hands at the Final Four Camp. Lead guard that can run a team, knocks down the open 3, plays with great pace and one of the tougher on ball defenders on the court regardless of position. Fills up a stat sheet on the offensive end, while guarding the best player on the other team is a good combo to have in a PG. Winners win and Nate also excels in the classroom being on Honor Roll both his Jr and Sr Season. If you need a PG in the 2023 Class, look no farther and watch some game film on Nate Coley he is a college ready Point Guard that can step on the court his freshmen season and be productive.

Kensington

Colston

The consistent theme across the board from the college coaches on staff when it came to Kensington’s assessment was 3 things: Competitive, Leader, Playmaker. Showed the ability to knock down open 3s, but is at his best making plays off the bounce and getting downhill in transition. Attacks the paint, finishes plays in traffic, and has a high basketball IQ. Plays with great energy and showcased leadership traits throughout the Camp that you look for at the next level. Has college ready size and is a tough matchup in PnR action with his ability to pass, shoot or drive it. 1000 Point Club, All-Region Selection, And Broke The All-Time Assists Record In 2024.

Desmond

Combs

College Ready Rebounder and Defender who started all season for DCCCD Runner-Up Richland CC. Big bodied Forward who has a high motor, plays to his strengths and does all the dirty work that leads to wins. He is a perfect piece to the puzzle for an NAIA program, if you need to improve your rebounding and defense in the front court. Soaked up instruction/coaching throughout, played with tremendous energy from start to finish on the boards and on D, and finishes plays around the Rim. If you have signed a scoring big or have scorers at the 4 and 5 spots returning, then Desmond would be a great pickup for you and one to research. Makes a lot of winning plays that don’t show up on stat sheets, will continue to get better, and has a college ready body.

Reid

Daniel

Combo Guard with Size (6 '4) that competes at a high level, excels in transition going downhill as a Playmaker with Size, and is Active on Defense getting his hands a lot of balls that puts his team in Transition.
Runs the lanes hard when he is the wing, or capable of Rebounding and pushing it as the lead guard on the Fast Break. Loved this kid’s energy and activity on the Defensive End, Versatile Enough to Guard the 1-3 spots and does a great job of getting 2nd shots from the Wing Position. College Programs that play fast, look to turn defense into Offense, and switch perimeter screens should take a close look at Reid.

Jaidyn

Davis

Up tempo point guard that controls the pace, excels in the open court, and competes at a very
high level. That is what stands out most is his competitive spirit and love for the game. Intangible wise, you can’t teach the energy and motor that Justin plays with which is why he made the report. When you are undersized and have the speed Justin has, it is all about fit. Programs that have a scoring PG or combo guards leading the team, could add Justin for what he brings to your roster, toughness, energy & effort.

Nathan

Day

Nathan is a High Academic Combo Guard w/ the Size and Skill Set it Takes to Play at the Scholarship Levels. One of those Players that the Portal has Truly Hurt, it May take Longer but I Can Certainly See Nate end Up With NAIA / D2 Level Offers at the Right Fit in April / Early May. Has Several D3 Programs Pressuring Him Into Committing and I can See Why, they Know he's a Scholarship Level Player Caught in a Waiting Game. Do Some Research and Keep Nathan on their Radar cause if he decides to Wait he will be a Late Steal for a High Academic NAIA / D2 Program...

Almamy

Diaby

Almamy is a combo guard with a quick first step, who does a great job of getting by the first line of defense, and when he draws help has a high IQ of when to pass or score it. Skilled passer who sees the court well and gets teammates open shots. At 6'3 he can see over the top of the defense or finish plays at the rim. Almamy finishes around the basket with an array of floaters, mid-range shots, and uses both his right and left hand effectively which makes him tough to stop when he gets in the paint. Defensively, Almamy plays with a lot of energy, has active hands off the ball, and does a really good job of applying ball pressure without giving up straight line drives.
