Kaden

Morgan

Big time shooter with experience coming off a Sophomore Season at Fort Scott where he shot 44% from the 3pt line, led the team in charges attempted, and Avg. 9ppg and 4rpg. Loved Kaden's toughness in HS and that hasn't changed. Brings a weapon to your team with his shot making ability, and always brings maximum effort to the floor. Has good size for a 2 guard at 6'3, moves well without the ball, and is really good in catch and shoot situations. If you run some good sets for 2 guards, Kaden is capable of coming off screens and knocking down college ready shots. Has a quick release and will be a great pickup for NAIA Programs that need to improve their perimeter shooting and team toughness.

Hank

Morris

Strong and steady combo guard who is capable of scoring it or running a team. Does a good job finishing at the rim and a threat from the perimeter with the ability to knock down the 3pt shot. Moving forward his best position at the next level would be lead guard that shoots it like a 2, because of his size and high basketball IQ. Makes easy plays, the right decisions, and has a very high assist to turnover ratio. Doesn’t do things he can’t do which is a positive, plays to his strengths and does a sound job of taking care of
the basketball. Really good at attacking downhill and putting pressure on the defense by getting in the paint, drawing help then making the right play.

John

Hunter

Nelms

Aggressive Offensive Player who stays in attack mode and has a score first mentality. Scores it at all 3 Levels, is playing at a Scholarship Level heading into his Sr Season and plays with Extreme Confidence on the Offensive End of the Floor. At 6'4 with his ability to shoot it off the Catch over the Top of the D, and how much he has improved other facets of his Game it's only a matter of time before Hunter starts to turn Interest into D2 Offers. Get on him Early in the Fall as he will be much tougher to get by the time the Spring rolls around.

Christian

O'Connor

The Surprise of the DFW Fall Camp that Won the Day, and Won every Segment of the Camp from the 1 on 1 to the 5 on 5 Title Game was Christian. Loved his Offensive Skill Set and Basketball IQ in Session I, but what won me and the other Coaches over was his Toughness and Competitive Spirit in the Defensive Portion of the Event. He wanted to be put on an island Defensively in one of the more challenging segments of the Camp, and showed his ability to Defend at a scholarship level as well. That is what separates good from great, and great things are ahead for this kid at Southlake Carroll this Year.

JP

Olivarez

JP Simply Put is a Flat Out 'Winner' and Pure PG that has Led his Team to Back to Back District Titles Without a Single Loss in the Past 2 Years at Robert Vela HS. Has Over 1700 Points & 600 Assists as a 4 Year Letterman on Varsity and fell One Game Short of Playing for a 5A State Title in 2024. Looks like JP has his Team Locked In again to Make Another Deep Playoff Run. If I was Still Coaching at the NAIA Level JP Would Have Paper Work in the Mail with the Intangibles & Work Ethic He Brings to the Table at the PG Position.

Keenan

Osei

Keenan defines what UCExposure is all about, he fell short at a Fall Camp and instead of pouting he elevated his game, improved his overall skill set, and returned Sunday to finish on TOP! Really good in catch and shoot situations, college ready defender on and off the ball, and plays with great pace. Doesn’t make a bunch of highlight plays, just makes winning plays and has a quick release allowing him to get his shot off vs bigger guards. Shoots a high % and very efficiently on the Offensive end of the floor. I hardly remember him in the October Camp at Game On, but this time around Keenan left his mark and left on TOP! I certainly will remember his name now when college coaches are calling for leads this Spring.

Blane

Parish

Intriguing Big Man who actually plays BIG! Most guys Blane size love to show they can knock down 3’s and handle the ball, and Blane is capable of knocking down the open 3 when left open and showed the ability to put the ball on the floor when pressured. However, he didn’t let the Defense off the hook by settling for perimeter shots, instead he posted up hard down low, pinned smaller players, and finished plays in the paint in the 3 on 3 and 4 on 4 Tourneys. Plays bigger than his size, has good hands, and does a great job of keeping the ball high after securing the Board.

Landen

Parker

Landen is a 3/4 that Can Play Inside and Out, Physically Strong Tweener That Posted Up Guards, and When Forwards Guarded Him Showed the Skill Set To Go Outside and Knock Down Shots or Make Plays off the Bounce. Started The Camp Going Full Speed and 100% Engaged in Early Drills, Got Tougher When The Camp Got Tougher, and Did a Great Job Communicating from Start To Finish Making Everyone Around Him Better (Yes Sr’s Those Traits Matter Outside of Your Ability to Knock Down Shots) A College Coach on Staff Put It Best Stating “He is in Position to Help a Team Right Now With his Contagious Approach and Attitude…”

Gavin

Paull

The top PURE Point Guard in the GYM at the Houston Camp was Gavin Paull from power house Austin Westlake. 2 x All-District prospect who will have the ball in his hands again this year, as he leads Westlake on what looks like to be another deep run in the playoffs. High IQ floor general who runs a team, is a vocal leader, and knows when to shoot, pass, or drive it. Really excels in ball screen action making several great reads that led to baskets for himself or others. One of two players in attendance that won multiple segments of the camp before leading his team to the ‘Top Prospect’ Title at the Houston Camp. High % shooter who plays to his strengths, does what he does best, and handles pressure well. No Brainer For D2s but could play his way onto D1 Boards if he leads Westlake To Another Great Season.

Aaron

Perez

Shooter With College Ready Size, Scores It at all 3 Levels, and is a Elite Level Shooter in Catch and Shoot Situations. Moves well without the ball in his hands, gets to his spots, and is always shot ready with a quick release so when the help D relaxed Aaron made them pay. Could benefit going the JC Route with the Transfer Portal to Secure An Offer at the Higher Levels (D2+/LM) but nonetheless, Aaron brings a College Ready Weapon to Any Roster at this Stage as a knock down shooter who plays and shoots it with Confidence. NCAA D2 Programs who lead their League in 3pt Attempts & Makes should be all over Aaron as he is an Elite Level Shooter whose best ball is still in front of him.

Tobias (Toby)

Pike

Toby would fit great in a true high-low HC Motion system where you pound it down low and interchange the 4 and 5. Skilled Passer from the HP, and does a great job down low sealing his man and catching on his spots. Had a big Summer and is heading into his Sr Season Playing D2 / LM Level Basketball! Won't be long before Interest turns to an Offer at the D2/LM D1 Level.
