2027 Tyler Brownlee

6'4 Playmaker Randle HS 210-410-2269 

Tyler Is Simply Caught In a #'s Game In a Big Basketball Market (Houston) I Haven't Seen This Kid Since Last Spring At a Camp And His Game Has Grown.  He's Playing a Lot More Aggressive, Rebounding It a Higher Level, And Has Gotten Physically Stronger Finishing Through Contact and Is Tough To Stop When Getting Downhill In Transition. Another Big Guard Who Has Size, Strength,  Length And The Athleticism That Translates To The Next. Level.   Moving Forward Tyler Must Bring Those God Given Traits To The Defensive Side Of The Ball-  With So Many College Teams Switching Perimeter Screens These Days Tyler Needs To Make Guarding The 1-4 His Ticket To Securing Offers And That's Exactly What Will Happen In The Spring!  He Soaks Up Coaching And His Game Has Grown So I Project He Will Do Just That & Turn Interest Into Scholarship Level Offers When It's All Said And Done.

2028 Ellis Richardson

5'11 Point Guard Cy Falls 346-777-6967

 Man I Would Not Like To Be at the Dinner Table In The Richardson Household With Only One Dinner Roll Left-  Between Elton And Ellis I Have No Shot In That Scenario Of Taking A Bite of the Last Roll!  Analogy Aside, This Kid Similar To His Older Brother is T O U G H, And Plays With a Healthy Chip On The Floor.   Junkyard Dog On Defense,  Applies Consistent On Ball Pressure, Physically Strong, And Makes Winning Plays On Both Ends of the Floor.   Offensively, He is at his best In The Open Court Getting Downhill In Transition And Making Plays.   The Key For Ellis Won't Be Playing Any Harder Or Tougher, It Will Be Adding Defensive Discipline To Go Along With The Effort He Brings To Stay on the Floor For Longer Stretches By Staying Out of Foul Trouble.   Keep Your Aggressive Attacking 'Mindset' And Add Defensive Discipline Where You Pressure The Ball Without Going For On Ball Steals And College Coaches Will Start To Take Notice

'Top Prospect' Recruiting Report

-South TX Camp-

2027 Wyatt Miller

 6'4 Wing-SF Orange Grove 361-207-8984 

Wyatt Doesn't Have a True Position And In Some Ways That Works In His Favor When it Comes To Finding a Great FIT:  He Shows The Ability To Play With His Back To The Basket And Post Up Smaller Wings, And The Skill Set To Take Forwards Outside And Knock Down 3s or Take It Off The Bounce.  Tough Matchup In PnR Action as a Pick And Pop 4 or Can Move The 3 Position And Put Points On The Board.  Having Said That, He Needs To FULLY Buy Into That His Scholarship Level Ticket Will Be On The Glass!   Wyatt Has Great Instincts When Pursuing Boards,  Seems To Get Every Missed Shot, And Has The Length And Good Hands To Not Only Secure Rebounds But Finishes a High % of Putbacks In The Paint After Rebounding It!   Elite Rebounder, Versatile Offensive Player, And Hard Worker Whose Best Ball Is Still In Front Of Him

2027 Roel Palacios

6'3 Shooting Guard Edinburg North 956-778-3265

 I've Evaluated Roel In Games This Summer And Wasn't Truly Aware Of His Ability To Shoot The Ball Like He Did In the STX Camp.  The Small Group Settings Allows College Coaches And Myself a Truer Assessment Of a Players Strengths And Talent- And Roel Can Flat Out Shoot The Ball Outside of Being a Hard Nosed Defender That Competes On D.  Coming Off a Jr Season Where He Was Named Defensive POY, He Showcased That He Is Not Only a Tough Defender But a 2-Way Player That Brings a Weapon To the Court With His Ability To Knock Down 46% of Shots Beyond The Arc (3pt % In 2025-2026)  Another Sleeper Hidden In STX To Get On Your Recruits To Watch List In 2027.  While Your at It- Check Out His Brother Raul As Well As He Can Flat Out Play And Edinburg North Could Make a Deep Playoff Run With Raul and Roel Leading The Way

2027 Frankie Santiago

6'5 Playmaker Aransas Pass 361-230-2145

The 2027 In South TX Camp With the Highest Ceiling Was Frankie.  Coming Off a Jr Year Where He Earned All-State 1st Team Honors Along With Being Named Offensive POY In His District, He Is In Position To Not Only Have a Big Sr Season But Secure Scholarship Level Offers.  To Do So, He Must Prove He Can Guard A Wing In College and Elevate His Game On The Glass.   The Tools, Length And Talent Is There So It's Just a Matter Of Developing Consistent Habits In Both Areas And His Recruitment And Level Of Recruitment Will Increase.  Already A Scholarship Level Offensive Player And Athlete Heading Into His Sr Season, And Has Shown Progress In Each Camp So I Can Certainly See Frankie Taking His Game To Another Level This Year And Securing NAIA / D2 Level Offers In The Spring.  Too Much Talent, Size And Skill Set To Fly Under The Radar Much Longer- STX Sleeper To Get On Your List of Recruits To Watch In The 2027 Class

2027 Jeremiah Gomez

5'11 Point Guard Mission HS 956-720-3439

 Jeremiah Has Been Attending UC Exposure Camps Since His Sophomore Season, And I Can't Recall a Camp In Almost 2 Years That He Didn't Finish On 'Top'  Winners WIN And This Kid is a WINNER!   Reviewing College Coaches Notes In Just The Past 3 Camps Jeremiah Attending And They Consistently State: "Respect His Toughness, Grit And Will To Win..."  That Is not a Bad Trifecta To Bring to a Team.   What I Personally Love Is He's Had Some Challenges Outside of His Control, And That Has Never Stopped Or Discouraged Him From Bringing The Same Passion, Toughness, And Leadership Traits To Each And Every Camp He's Been at.   Good Things Come To Those Who Wait, And Jeremiah's Time is Now-  He's Put In The Work And Is Ready To Have a Big Sr Season at Mission HS   

Projected Levels: NCAA D3+ / Partial NAIA (Great Piece At a NAIA Program)

 

2028 George Garza

 6'8 Forward CC Carroll 956-324-4492 

Big Man with a High Ceiling And Time On His Side To Elevate Performance And Increase His Recruitment.  George Is One Of Those Players That Doesn't Know How Good He Can Truly Be When He Starts Playing More Consistent In Areas That Stand Out In His Favor. Loved The Way He Sought Out Coaching, Got Better As The Camp Went On, And Finished On 'Top' In South TX With So Much Room To Grow.   Although He Has a Solid Skill Set And Made Some Nice Plays Out of the HP, He's at His Best On The Black When He Pinned Hard Or Pursued Boards.  The Moments In The Camp When He Did That He Looked Like A Whole Different Level Player.  That's What Makes Uncommon Exposure Camps Truly 'UNCOMMON': The Post Camp Feedback And Direct Insight From College Coaches On What Players Like George Must Do To Increase Their Recruitment Over The Course of the Season Is What Has Turned Interest To Offers.  You Have Time On  Your Side Big Fella And A Recruits Cheat Sheet, Don't Let STX Opponents Off The Hook This Year By Hanging Outside The 3pt Line-  DOMINATE THE PAINT and Knock Down Timely 3's And There Won't Be Many In South TX That Will Have An Answer For You. 

Projected Levels: NAIA+ / NCAA D2

2028 Noah Garza

5'11 Point Guard Sharyland HS 956-638-5622

  Noah Got My Attention From The Opening Drill And Kept It Until The Last Possession Of The Final 5 on 5 Game With His Effort, Competitive Toughness, And Communication Throughout The Camp On Both Ends.  College Ready Leader Coming off a Great Jr Year Earning Both Offensive & Defensive MVP of the District.    If You Are Undersized a Bit You Must Do 2 Things Consistently To Draw College Level Interest: #1 Lead (Be Vocal) #2 Be The Best On Ball Defender At All Times.  Noah Was Both For 5 Hours In South TX And Left His Mark Not Only With The College Coaches But Won Me Over As He Never Stopped Communicating And He Consistently Guarded The Ball From Start To Finish.  Needs The Right FIT -  Teams That Play Fast And Extend Their Defensive Pressure Get Noah On Your Board, He's One To Track This Season.  Pure PG And College Ready Leader Flying Under The Radar In STX To Add To Your List of 2028s To Watch List

Projected Levels: D1 JUCO / NCAA D2+

2028 Harrison Pohlmeier

 6'3 Shooting Guard CC Ray 361-537-8679 

 College Ready Shooter w/ Size, High Basketball IQ And Does a Great Job When Run Off The Line At Taking It off The Bounce And Drawing Fouls.  Harrison Just Knows How To Play And When He Got In The Paint vs Bigger Guards / Small Forwards He Used His Body And Angles To Draw Contact or Finish Through Contact.  Deceptive Athlete On Defense That Showed The Ability To Keep Smaller Quicker Guards In Front Of Him, And Stayed Engaged and Active Off The Ball Defensively Taking Some Big Charges In The Game Portion And Getting His Hands On Balls In Passing Lanes.   Knocks Down 3s at a High %,  Takes Good Shots & Plays Within His Game Which is a Great Thing.   Too Many Players At Our Camps Try To Showcase Things That They Can't Do Exposing Bad Habits, Harrison Did The Exact Opposite And Had a Very Good Showing In South TX With 2 Years To Continue to Grow and Improve.  Under-Recruited 2 Guard To Get On Your Radar And Great Invite To Your Elite Camp So You Can Get a Closer Look at all the little things Harrison Does That Help Teams Win

Projected Levels: NCAA D3+ / NCAA D2

​

2029 Caleb Black

6'3 Combo Guard CC Carroll 847-412-8322

 The Only 2029 To Make The STX Report & Possibly The Most Physically Talented Player At the South TX Camp Was 2029 Caleb Black.   In Session #1 You Could See The Potential And Talent To Play at the Higher Levels (D2+ / D1) Once The Games Began,  It Was Apparent That Caleb Was The Most Physically Gifted Player On The Court Making Some D1 Level Plays In The 5 on 5 Tourney.   Moving Forward The Key For Caleb To Start Drawing Genuine Interest From Those Levels Is to NOT Rely On Physical Talent Alone In a Smaller Basketball Market.   He's Young, Soaked Up Coaching, Sought Out Insight Post Camp On Areas He Must Improve, Which Bolds Well For Caleb As His Biggest Challenge Will be Consistently Playing To His Highest Potential Not To The Level Of Competition.  Players w/ D1 Level Upside Like Caleb In Smaller Regions Must Be Disciplined Enough To Develop Consistent Habits Regardless Of Who The Opponent Is.  If Caleb Can Do That Over The Course of the Season He Will Head Into The Summer On D2+ / LM D1 Boards With Time On His Side. 

Projected Levels: D1 JUCO / NCAA D2+

(With 2 Years To Grow His Game And His Upside- Caleb Could Play His Way Into D1 Level Offers)​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
