UC Exposure Top Prospects

2027 Ty Aldridge

6'4 2 Guard Maud HS 430-342-3054

College Ready Shooter w/ Size That Is Physically Strong Enough To Make The Transition To College And Make An Impact In Year One at the NAIA / D2 Levels. Teams That Shoot A Lot of 3's And Switch Screens Need To Get This Kid On Your Recruits To Watch List- Scholarship Level 2 That Left His Mark Again In Houston And Was One of 3 Prospects In the Entire Camp (Classification Aside) Listed by All College Coaches As Top Ranked NAIA / D2+ Guard- This Is Ty's Second UC Exposure Camp And The He's Won His Way To the 'Top' In Both Winning Me Over In Houston. He Shot The Nets Off at the DFW Camp & Followed That Up In Houston Finishing Several Plays Above The Rim In Transition Showcasing D1 Athleticism On Top of Being a Knock Down Shooter. He Won't Fly Under The Radar For Long After Showcasing He's a Scholarship Athlete As Well In The Houston Camp. Do Some Research Early, His Stock Will Continue To Rise In the Fall-

Hands Down The Best Pure Shooter In The STX Camp Was Jeremy Bedford- Has a College Ready Release In Catch And Shoot Situations, Shoots it With Range & Plays with a Healthy Chip On His Shoulder. I Liked His Game In Session #1 of the Camp, But Once We Got To Session #2 of the Camp (4 on 4 & 5 on 5 Tournaments) He Took Over Leading His Team To Both The 4 on 4 and 5 on 5 Championship Games & Finished On 'Top' Showcasing He's a Scholarship Level Knock Down Shooter That Plays To Win, Wants The Ball In His Hands When the Game is On The Line & Knocked Down Big Shot after Big Shot To Lead His Team To a Close Win In The STX Top Prospect Title Game! If You Shoot a Lot of 3's Get This Kid On Your Watch List

2027 Charles Bell 430-302-5012
6'4 Wing-SF Kaufman HS

Charles Is An Active Rebounder, Deceptive Athlete And The Versatility To Play Multiple Positions On Offense And Defend The 1-4 On Defense. Needs an Up Tempo System But Has a Good Motor, Does all the Dirty Work, And Finds Ways To Impact The Game Without The Ball In His Hands. Would be a Great FIT In a Program That Plays Fast And Looks To Score In Transition Or Early Offense And Extends Their Defensive Pressure And Traps- Avg. a Double Double His Jr Year And Is Caught In a #s Game In a Big Basketball Market. Too Much Size And Physical Talent To Not Start Drawing More Interest, Especially If You Factor In That Charles Doesn't Need The Ball To Help Teams WIN. He Makes Things Happen And Does a Great Job Pursuing Boards And Getting 2nd Shots For His Team Or Sprinting His Lane And Finishing Plays In Fast Break Situations. If You Play Fast Add Charles To Your List of Recruits To Watch This Season

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. 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.

Projected Levels: D1 JUCO / NAIA+ (Potentially NCAA D2 If He Has The Sr Season I Project He Will Have After Evaluating The Progress Made In Just the Past Year- Keep An Eye On Him)

Jeremiah is a Hidden Talent down in South TX that has Finished on 'Top' 3 Times Which Is Not Easy To Do. It's One Thing to Show Well in the South TX Camp, But When Jeremiah Finished on 'Top' In Houston That is when I can see this kid's Potential to be a College Level Lead Guard. He Consistently Brings all the Traits You Look for in PG's to the Floor! He communicates, competes at a high level, and constantly is leading others making everyone around him better. It's one thing to talk, but when you back it up with your actions others will follow and Jeremiah backs it up with his Effort and His Consistent Play on Both Ends. Solid Small College PG that is flying under the Radar only due to playing in an Under Recruited Region.

2027 JD Martinez
6'2 Combo Guard Weslaco HS 956-800-7730

High Motor 'TOUGH' Guard That Gets Downhill In the HC And Finishes Through Contact In The Paint, and Does a Great Job In The Open Court At Making Plays And Finding The Open Man In Scoring Position. Defensively, JD Stays Engaged And Doesn't Just Play Hard But Has The Mindset It Takes To Get Stops- You Can Tell He Just Loves To Play The Game And Loves Winning. Seemed To End Up On The Winning Side of the Ball From The First Shooting Competition To Leading His Team to a Win in the STX Title Game. Sleeper In STX That Can Play The PG or the 2 Position At The Small College Levels And Brings a Winners Mindset To The Floor every Time He Steps On It! Plays Hard, Make Plays off the Bounce, Knocks Down Timely 3pt Shots And Will Be a Key To What Looks Like A Deep Playoff Run This Year With JD Leading the Way-

Projected Levels: NCAA D3+ / NAIA

Combo With a College Ready Body That Plays With Good Pace, Has a Solid Mid-Range Game Knocking Down Several Pull-Up Shots Off The Bounce & Does a Good Job In Transition Making Plays and Creating Shots For Himself or Finding the Open Man. When he Is In Attack Mode Making Plays On Both Ends of the Floor He Looks like a Next Level Prospect- The Key for Everett to have a breakthrough Sr Season is developing the Mindset of a Key Player, not a solid piece of the puzzle: he will be expected to play a much bigger role on one of the better teams in SA Year In and Year Out (Harlan HS). The Physical Talent & Toughness is There to do just that so track his progress as he's a Sleeper in the 2027 Class

Surprise of STX Camp Wyatt Miller Listed as a Shooting Guard, But Is at His Best as a Playmaker Who Is Capable of Knocking Down 3pt Shots, Which Creates More Driving Opportunities. Although He's Only 6'3 His Wing Span Makes Him Look 6'5 / 6'6. Has Great Instincts On The Offensive Glass And Pursued Balls Consistently When Shots Went Up Which Led To Several Put Backs And 2nd Shots For His Team In The 4 on 4 and 5 on 5 Games. He Has Really Good Shot Mechanics on His Mid-Range and 3pt Shot and Shoots The 3 at a High %. Right Now He Is a Scholarship Level Rebounder w/ a High Ceiling Set To Have a Breakthrough Sr Season. Soaked Up Coaching, Got Tougher As the Camp Got Tougher And Won His Way To The 'Top' In South TX

2027 Kaeson Robinson
6'7 Forward Shadow Creek HS 832-377-6778

Big Man with a High Ceiling To Go Along a Motor- New Move In To Houston By Way of Georgia Has Kaeson Flying Under The Radar. His Best Is Still In Front Of Him And Has Tools And Size You Can't Teach. Needs To Continue To Put In Work On His Overall Offensive Game, but Makes An Instant Impact On The Glass And On Defense. Keep Growing Those 2 Facets of Your Game Big Fella, And Buy Yourself a Year To Continue To Grow Your Offensive Game. He's Got a Knack For Rebounding And Had Several Putbacks After Securing The Offensive Board. Made Some Big Time Plays On The Defensive End That Led To Fast Break Opportunities In the 5 on 5 Gams. Kaeson Has Time On His Side And a Big Upside And Needs To Play To His Strengths This Season At Shadow Creek And Coaches Will Take Notice.

2027 Anthony Smith 682-241-2085
6'8 Forward Chapel Hill HS

You Know The Old Saying 'You Can't Teach Size..." That Is True But I've Seen a Lot of Bigs That Look The Part But Bring Very Little To The Floor But Being Big. Big Ant Is No Where Near The Level He Can And Will Be Playing at But He Has The Motor, Skill Set, And Soaks Up Coaching So His Best Ball Is Yet To Come. College Ready Rebounder And Help Defender That Has Good Instincts Off The Ball Defensively And Gets a Lot of 2nd Shots For His Team. Showed The Ability to Catch and Finish In The Paint, Explosive Athlete That Had Several Dunks In Traffic & When He's Pinning In The Paint He Looks Like a Whole Different Player. With The Uncommon Approach Players Get Direct Feedback In Areas To Elevate That Increase Recruitment And I Can Already See Big Ant Implementing Some Things That Make Him Tough To Guard. Too Big, Too Strong, Too Much Upside Not To Have On Your Recruits to Research In the 2027 Class

Projected Levels: D1 JUCO / LM D1 Upside If He Goes the JC Route He Will End Up With D1 Level Options

Elijah is a Small Forward That Has The Ability To Play Both Inside And Out. Has Good Hands In The Paint, Keeps the Ball High And Finishes Around The Rim at a High %. Has Good Shot Mechanics And Release When He Gets The FT Line So Demanding The Ball More On The Block Will Lead To More FT Attempts. So Demanding The Ball Down Low And Catching In His Spots Will Lead To More FT Attempts At 6'7 Elijah Has The Foundation To Be a Really Good Stretch 4 With His Skill Set And Size. Pursues Boards, Runs The Floor And Does a Good Job Altering Shots In Defensive Situations. Played a Big Role Last Year On a Senior Laden Southwest Team, And Is Stepping Into Being A Key Piece This Year And Expect Big Things As Elijah Is Set To Have a Big Sr Season. Class of 2027 SF To Get On Your List of Recruits To Watch!

2027 Anghel Trinidad 956-401-0548
6'2 Shooting Guard Laredo United South

The 2027 Surprise of the San Antonio Camp Was Anghel Trinidad. Only 2 Players Were Listed By Every College Coach On Staff As a College Level Recruit. Came In Unknown And Left His Mark As One To Get On Your Radar This Year. 3 Level Scorer And College Ready Shooter That Can Score It In a Variety of Ways- However, The Reason He Was Listed By Every Coach Was What He Did Without The Ball In His Hands In Our Small Group Settings. Anghel Competes, Communicates On D, And As One Coach Stated "He's The Hardest Worker In The Gym..." Plays With Great Pace, Gets to his Spots On Offense And Shoots It at High %. Very Efficient Offensive Player That Competes On The Defensive End as Well. Flying Under The Radar Playing In an Under-Recruited STX Region So Will Be a Sleeper For The Coaches That Do There Research. Senior Set To Have a Big Season
