Director of Camps- Russell 'Coach V' Vanlandingham Former 20 Year College Coach @ NCAA D1, D2, D3 & NAIA Programs After Reviewing In-Depth Evaluations & Gathering Direct Insight From College Coaches on Staff after Our Events

The Uncommon Approach is Proven To Prepare Players And  Match 'UC Recruits' With College Programs That FIT Until Interest Turns To An Offer

The "Top" Uncommitted 'Top Prospects'

6'4 Wing-SF Braiden Wagner  |  Highland CC Soph 346-493-2274 Big Wing That Had a Solid Soph Season at Highland CC, Has The Size, Skill Set And Strength To Make An Impact For a NAIA Program Still Looking To Fill Final Roster Spots. Needs The Right FIT- Programs That Run a 5 Out Motion And Play Tough HC Man To Man Defense Will Fit Greg's Game.  No Question A Scholarship Level Wing That Is a Late Steal For An NAIA Program That Runs Tough HC Smash Mouth Basketball.  Understands How To Play, Rebounds It Well From The Wing Position, And Has a Good Feel For The Game On Both Ends.  High IQ Prospect That Has Produced In JC and Will Be In Your Rotation at the NAIA Levels 

Projected Levels: Late Steal For Ranked D3's / NAIA+ 

6'5 Playmaker Greg Dumas |  Paris Junior College Sophomore 248-445- 2591 Big Wing That Scores it at all 3 Levels, Takes advantage of Mismatches, And Can Play Inside-Out at 6'5 w/ His Physicality And College Ready Body.  Really liked Greg's Game out of HS & Nothing Changed- He's just bigger, stronger and has a better understanding of what it takes to compete every possession at the college level after 2 Years of JC Ball.   Caught in a early Coaching Change this Past Year at Paris JC, but adapted and finished his Soph Season strong in one of the top JC Conferences in the Country (Region 14) NAIA's  Looking for Best Available Players Take a Close Look At Greg- He's a late Steal that will Make Your Team Better 

Projected Levels: NAIA+ / NCAA D2 

2026 Tahlan Jackson | 5'11 Point Guard Celina HS 512-868-7911 Tahlan Has Drawn a Lot of Scholarship Level Interest After a Steller Career at the HS Level-  4 Year Letterman, 3 x All-Distict Selection, TABC All-Region & Offensive POY That Ended His Career In HS Having Scored Over 1400 Points.  Another Physical College Ready Leader that Creates Space off the Bounce To Get Shots Off vs Bigger Opponents, Has the Strength And Size To Finish Plays Through Contact or Draw Fouls & Defended at a High Level In Both Games.  Not Sure How/ Why This Kid Is Still Available And College Programs at the Scholarship Levels Looking To Add Depth To Your Backcourt, Tahlan Is a FIT

6'2 Shooting Guard Ja'Varius Thompson  | JC Soph SAU Tech 346-593-9186 The Best Shooter Hands Down At The AR Camp Was SAU Tech Soph Ja'Varius Thompson, and  nothing changed in Houston.  Not sure why he is still available with his Size and his Proven Ability To Knock Down 3pt Shots at a High % at the College Level.  Coming off a very Productive Soph Season Avg. 14ppg (37% 3pt ) and pulling down 5rpg from the 2 Position, to go along with the fact that he is extremely coachable and consistently competes on D is what sold me.  NAIA / D2 Programs That Shoot a Lot of 3's And Space The Floor In the HC Still Looking To Fill Final Roster Spots- JT is Your Guy. 

Projected Levels: NAIA+ / NCAA D2

6’0 Combo Guard Trae Merchant  | 2026 A&M Consolidated 979-484-4245 Trae is Coming off a  Sr Season where he Earned 1st Team All-District, Offensive POY, and Led the District In Scoring at 23ppg.  Super Quick Combo Guard That Scores it at all 3 Levels,  Plays with a Healthy Chip on His Shoulder, And Is at His Best When The Game Speeds Up.  Capable Playing the PG Position at the Next Level & Can Make PG Plays from the Off Guard Spot- But If You Need Someone That Can Put Points on the Board In Bunches Trae is Worth a Close Look.  Up Tempo Programs Still Filling Final Roster Spots Add Trae To Your List of Recruits To Research, He's a College Level Combo And Scholarship Level Scorer Still Available That Will Help a Team 

Projected Levels: D2 JUCO / NCAA D3+ / Partial NAIA

6'0 Combo  Guard Cameron Parker  |  2026 Minden HS (LA) 318-773-4318 Crafty Combo Guard That Excels In The Open Court Getting Downhill & Does a Great Job of Moving Off The Ball And Knocking Down Shots In Catch and Shoot Situations.  Has a Quick Release, Sets The Tone On D with His On Ball Pressure And Will Be a Great Pickup at this Stage of the Game For Up Tempo Programs That Look To Get out and Run.  Cameron Is At His Best When The Game Speeds Up And Does a Great Job On Defense Anticipating Steals And Getting Deflections That Lead To FB Opportunities.  

Projected Levels: D2 JUCO / Up Tempo NAIA

 

6'4 Wing-Playmaker Jakarion Greer  |  2026 Mansfield HS (LA) 318-517-4697  Possibly The Most Athletic Wing Still Uncommitted With a High Ceiling and Even Higher Motor Is Jakarion Greer From Mansfield HS (LA)  Needs a Pressing System But No Question This Kid Can Flat Out Play And Is a D1 Level Athlete That Finishes Plays Above The Rim In FB Situations. Capable of Guarding The 1-4 With His Length, Speed And Athleticism.    He's a Consistent Jump Shot Away From Being a Higher Level Player.  Would Be a Great Pickup For a JUCO Program That Plays Fast & Looking For Best Available Players Regardless of Position

Projected Levels:  D2 JUCO / D1 JUCO

2026  6'1 Combo Guard Charles Perry  | CC Miller HS 210-213-1287 / MVP of District, 1st Team All-Region, Offensive POY, 2 x 1st Team All-District Who Is Coming off a Sr Season Where He Averaged 23 PPG and 4 APG-  Listed as a PG But He's More of an Off Guard That Can Make PG Plays.   Aggressive Scoring Guard That Scores It at All 3 Levels, Attacks The Paint & Finishes Through Contact In Transition.  Had Scholarship Level Options In FB But His First Love Is Basketball and Showcased In STX That He Can Play At Scholarship Levels In Basketball as well.  If He Can Spend One Full Year With All His Focus On One Sport- He Could be a Late Steal That Plays His Way Into The Rotation By  Second Semester.   To Much Physical Talent To Overlook Late- Do Some Research He's Worth a Closer Look

Projected Levels: D2 JUCO / D1 JUCO

June Camps- 'Top Prospects' Class of 2027  To Get On Your Recruits Watch List  

2027 Elijah Sommers | 6'7 Small Forward SA Southwest 210-788-1978 Elijah As Predicted Is Starting To Gain More and More Interest One Tournament At a Time.  This Size And Skill Set Has Been There,  But He's Playing Much More Aggressive And Rebounding It at a Higher Level vs Top Competition.   At 6'7 With the Length & Versatility To Play Multiple Positions and Guard Multiple Positions In College- He's One To Get Eyes On In The Late Live Periods.  Elijah Is a Young Sr That Will Continue To Fill Out,  His Game is Growing And His Ceiling Is High.  D1 JUCOs & NCAA D2s Should Already Be On This Kid As His Stock Will Rise And He's Set To Have a Big Sr Season- Projected Levels: D1 JUCO / NCAA D2+ (Can Play His Way Onto LM/MM Boards When It's all Said And Done)

2027 Elton Richardson | 6'1 Point Guard Cy Falls 346-493-2274 Elton is a 2-Way Player And College Ready Leader That Does a Great job of making it tough for opposing guard to get into an Offensive flow with his on ball pressure, and is at his best getting downhill in the open court and half court.   Skilled Passer who sees the floor well when drawing help,  tough on ball defender that sets the tone for your Defense, and can run a team in the HC or make plays in transition.  Must continue to work on taking and making timely 3pt shots to open up more driving opportunities, but has the work ethic, drive and time on his side to continue to grow his Game.  I Project Elton will have a big Sr Season and Lead Cy Falls On another Deep Playoff Run!   Projected Levels:  NAIA / NCAA D2

2027 Tyler Brownlee  | 6'4 Playmaker Houston Randle HS 210-410-2269 After Playing a Big Role On Randle's Playoff Run That Fell One Game Short of State Semi's- Tyler is Ready To Be a Key To Randle HS Success In 2026-2027:  Checks All The Boxes Outside of Talent, Has Size, Length And Athleticism To Go along With 'WILL' It Takes To Transition To College.  Has To Continue To Put In Work On His Offensive Game, But Brings Consistent Effort On Defense, Pursues Boards And Gets Teams 2nd Shots, And Has The Ability To Guard The 1-4 Positions With His Length And Competitive Mindset.  Keep Putting In Work When No One Is Watching Tyler, And It's Only a Matter Of Time Before Coaches Start To Notice What I Already Know You Bring To a Team....

2027 Kalen 'Red' Eddie  | 6'1 Point Guard Peabody Magnet HS 210-410-2269 After Finishing On 'Top' In the Houston Camp- Tyler was a Late Addition To the UC Gold Team Based On What I Personally Look For When Evaluating Talent at My Camps.  He Checks a Lot of Boxes And Has The Size, Length And Athleticism To Go along With the 'WILL' It Takes To Make a Big Leap This Summer and Rise in the Ranks As the Next GO TO Guy on a Very Good Houston Randle Team Returning from a Deep Playoff Run.  I Told Him He Had To Play out of Position In The Team Camp But It was a Chance To Grow & Show You Can Do More Things
