Rock Hill, South Carolina – Semi-Final Saturday at the Adidas 3SSB Circuit Championships was electric. College coaches stayed until the end, and On3’s National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw was courtside for all the action.

Here are the storylines you need to know.

Davin Cosby continues breakout weekend

Davin Cosby has been a known commodity around central Virginia. The 6-foot-5 wing is a catch-and-shoot sniper, and he always has been.

Texas A&M, Wake Forest, Alabama, Fordham, California, and others offered this weekend. Today, Cosby finished with 21 points on five made threes in today’s win. He will suit up tomorrow in the Adidas 3SSB 17u championship game for Team Loaded Va., a game that will have many high major eyes watching.

The New World trio remains undefeated

Khani Rooths, Jaeden Mustaf, and Jamie Kaiser have been one of the most impressive trios on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit this week.

Rooths is a 6-foot-8 2024 four-star. The lengthy and explosive forward has been all over the rim, getting out in transition and aggressively finishing plays.

Mustaf is a 6-foot-4, strong-bodied lead guard. Also explosive, he plays with a great pace and showcases vision all over the floor. Mustaf rebounds his area well and is an aggressive team defender.

Jamie Kaiser has been nationally among the fastest-rising players in the 2023 class. The 6-foot-5 wing recently gave up football to focus solely on basketball. The former wide reciever had offers from Maryland, Pittsburgh, and other high-major programs.

The four-star is a sharp-shooting wing with a tough presence on defense and the boards.

New World will play Team Loaded VA in the 17u championship of the Adidas 3SSB Circuit tomorrow morning. It was this trio that put them in that position.

Flory Bidunga is a force of nature

Welcome to the championship game. Flory Bidunga’s high motor plays with a high motor, and his physical nature is a tough matchup for any team because he is also an elite athlete with quick twitch and explosion.

His Indiana Elite 16u team is built around his post presence. Iowa commitment Cooper Koch is a catch and shoot threat, and four-star point guard Travis Perry runs the team.

The 6-foot-10 post is On3’s No. 3 player in the 2024 class. Head coaches and assistants from every conference across the country watched Bidunga here.

Caleb Wilson is a name to know

Caleb Wilson is a 2025 prospect from Atlanta (GA) Holy Innocents Academy who plays up with the AE5 16u program. The 6-foot-8 wing has a lengthy frame and is fluid in his movements. He can handle, shoot, and pass, knocking down two threes and finishing with a team-high 19 points in today’s win.

On3 will not be ranking the 2025 class for another few months, but Wilson is tracking as one of the nation’s top prospects in his class.
