UC Exposure Alumni

Cooper

Pillion

At 6'6 he can see over the top of the D or knock down the 3 at a very high rate in pick and pop situations. Regardless, whether you need a stretch 4 or a big guard that can shoot the 3, Cooper brings both to a team. Does a great job as a help defender by playing hard and being in the right position. Rebounds well, is a proven 'Winner' and plays with tremendous effort on both ends. Has genuine interest from some of the Top NCAA D2 programs in the country but no Offers yet. Makes no sense as whomever does some real research on his overall athletic resume will get a steal. Big time player and student that will secure a Top 25 NAIA Offer or NCAA D2 Offer.

Maxwell

Purushothaman

Versatile Playmaker who is capable of guarding the 2-4 Spots on Defense, and plays multiple positions on Offense with the length and size you look for at the higher levels in Wings. Deceptive athlete who is at his best making plays off the bounce whether it be scoring it or finding the open man. Does a good job in both the HC and Transition reading the D and making the right play. Skilled Playmaker or Stretch 4 that could be a tough matchup in PnR Action both as the screener or the one you are screening for. At 6 '5 with his talent, upside, and ability to make plays on both ends, and it’s only a matter of time before Interest turns to an Offer. Looking for a High Academic Institution in the Spring.

CAMREN

ROPER

I love Camren’s length, athleticism, motor, drive and determination to get better every time I’ve had him at a camp.  He's a consistent 3pt shot away from moving onto some LM D1 radars. That will improve with his work ethic so I would start making contact with him right as his offensive game catches up with his talent and toughness you have established a relationship with Cam. Winning Ways matter at UCExposure Camps and Camren has been a 2 x ‘Top Prospect’ consistently showcasing winning ways and making winning plays on both ends. He’s a tough matchup in the open court with his versatility and ability to finish in traffic.

Caleb

Riojas

Caleb defines what UCExposure is all about, after falling short in a Fall Camp, instead of pouting he elevated his game, improved his overall skill set, started playing to his potential instead of playing to the level of his competition, and took home the State Title, District MVP, and State Tournament MVP averaging over 25 ppg in the playoffs. High IQ, High % scorer who is very efficient on the Offensive end of the floor, and 5 times tougher without the ball in his hands since the Fall Semester. Growth like this is no accident, he puts in the work, is hungry, and is now playing college level basketball. Finished the year on TOP, and started the Final Four Camp with something to prove by winning the Skills Challenge against 6A All-State & All-Region Guards to earn the first spot in the ‘Top Prospect’ Game. You can’t hide in UCExposure Camps, but you certainly can change your recruitment by showcasing your hunger, will, and skill in smaller group college intense settings. Caleb did more than hold his own at the Final Four Camp

Rowdy

Robinson

Rowdy caught my attention in the Skills Challenge with his size, college ready body, and his perimeter skill set. At 6 '5 he can shoot over the top of the D, showed the ability to make plays off the bounce, and knocked down open 3s. Versatile Playmaker and Active Defender who got a lot of 50/50 balls, rebounded well for a Wing, and tough matchup for Guards as he is too big and can play with his back to the basket down low when he has mismatch.All-Region, Offensive POY & 1500 Points Over His HS Career. No Brainer for NCAA D3 Programs That Can Secure A Higher Level Offer In April When Coaches Start Researching the Best Available Seniors.

Diego

Rodriguez

Diego is a Natural Scorer with the Length, Size and Skill Set that Translates to the Scholarship Levels. Getting Over Looked Playing in a Smaller Market (West TX) but nonetheless this Kid Can Flat Out Score the Ball (24ppg) Leads his District in PPG, 3pt Makes, and Plays and Stays in Attack Mode on Offense. On top of that, he is a Skilled Passer When Drawing Help in the Paint. Intriguing Prospect that I Can See Going the JC Route and Ending Up with Several D2 Level Offers after 2 Years to Grow His Game vs Higher Level Comp.

Noah

Rossow

Noah is what Uncommon Exposure is all about Listed by Every Single Coach on Staff in Houston and already got a few calls from College Coaches in attendance about Noah! From the Opening Tap, Noah showcased leadership traits, Communicated on the Defensive End, and Competed at a high Level on Both Ends of the Floor to Win The Day. Scores it in a variety of ways, makes a lot of Winning Plays that don’t show up on stat sheets, and Is One To Bring To Campus for a Workout So You Can Get an In-Depth Look at all the Little Things he Does that Lead To Wins.

James

Sakalas

Playmaker With Size that Can Play the 2-4 Positions, finished plays in the paint all Day, and has really Grown his Game Since the Fall Camp. Jimmy Competes at a Very High Level so wasn’t Surprised that he was Voted District Defensive POY This Past Season. Offensively, he is a much better Shooter than his HS Stats may indicate as he did what his Coach needed him to do to 'Win' Games on an Undersized CC Flour Bluff Team. Had a Great Showing Vs Some of the Top Talent In Houston at the RCS Sports Sr Showcase, love his Motor and Toughness as he out played and out toughed 2 Guards With Offers in Houston. NO Brainer For A D3 Program Looking To Make Their Team Tougher.

Jarek

Schmittou

Jarek dominated the SA Camp from start to finish showcasing he was the top PG at the event in the 2023 class. Don’t get me wrong when I say dominate, it doesn’t mean he rose up and dunk over folks, or dropped 25 points in the 5 on 5 title game, it means he dominated the PG position in every segment. Led his team to the 4 on 4 winning ways title, led his team to the 5 on 5 Top Prospect game title, and led his team to the 3 on 3 defensive stops finals. The key word is LEAD. Gritty player, high % shooter that takes and makes timely shots, and makes the right play that leads to easy baskets for his teammates. I predict Jarek will work his way onto a college roster after leading Churchill to a 20 win season and deep playoff run. Looks his best in a team setting so take a closer look at Churchill Games and you will see what he brings to a team.
