Game Set 1, 10:00 AM
5-star PF GG Jackson is doing it all for his team. Bringing the ball up the floor, facilitating, and knocked down a three. He is playing with confidence and encouraging his teammates. – Senior National Recruiting Expert Joe Tipton
5-star PF Omaha Biliew running the court harder than Xavier Booker. Biliew has been the best big on the floor, with his motor and finishing around the rim. – Senior National Analyst Gerry Hamilton
5-star PG AJ Johnson is living in the paint. Has explosive length and a shifty handle, easily creates space. – National Analyst Jamie Shaw
5-star SG Robert Dillingham is such a smooth and crafty scorer. Ability to get to spots and the feel to rise up on a dime. – Jamie Shaw
5-star C Baye Fall continues to expand his offensive game. He made a 17-footer and followed it with a 12-foot reverse-pivot bumper in the lane. – Gerry Hamilton
4-star F Mouhamed Dioubate is relentless on the offensive boards. He outworks his opponent and showing off his high running motor. Also has some nice touch around the rim; hard work and explosion. – Joe Tipton
4-star SF Stephon Castle has lived at the free-throw line. His ability to make a play and his confidence on the ball allows him consistent production – Jamie Shaw
4-star SG Jason Jackson is a perfect guard for Texas Tech head coach Mark Adams. Plays hard, tough, and with active hands on defense, and plays through contact on offense. – Gerry Hamilton
Game Set 2; 11:30 AM
NR PF Flory Bidunga is closing in on 5-star status. His activity level is off the charts. Strong, physical, and explosive he may be the top post in the 2024 class when things are all said and done. – Jamie Shaw
4-star CG Chris Johnson continues to show he makes the right reads with near-perfect timing, especially in the open court. Knocked down a contest three from the right-wing. If he does that more consistently he is a top 30 kid in the class. – Gerry Hamilton
4-star PF Zayden High can really space the floor. He was efficient from beyond the arc, finishing on four of his five attempts. – Joe Tipton
4-star SF Cody Williams gets so low for a 6-foot-7 wing. He wins the leverage battle every time, so flexible. – Gerry Hamilton
4-star C JP Estrella brings so much toughness to the floor. He is still raw, but has patience on the block, comfort to create over his left shoulder, and is a natural and active shot-blocker. – Jamie Shaw
4-star PG Simeon Wilcher is aggressive getting into the paint. Making good reads and showing off his athleticism, he’s been running the team. – Jamie Shaw
4-star F Sam Walters can score the basketball in bunches. Alabama is getting a sharp-shooter, lots of upside here.- Joe Tipton
4-star Khani Rooths is a stock riser. At 6-foot-8 he is so versatile and plays both sides of the ball. Good IQ, buy stock now. – Joe Tipton
Game Set 3, 3:00 PM
4-star CG Layden Blocker is aggressive downhill. In transition, there is so much to like as he sets his sights on the front of the rim and gets there. – Jamie Shaw
2025 SG Darryn Peterson is a space creator. He gets to his spots as well as anyone in camp. – Gerry Hamilton
4-star SG Marvel Allen continues to show grit and toughness. Still playing with lingering knee soreness, but still in attack mode off the bounce. He initiates and plays through contact. – Gerry Hamilton
4-star PF Derik Queen is one of the more skilled bigs in the country with his ability to stretch the floor. His ability to win with skill will be paramount long term, as he’s not among the group of most athletic bigs in attendance. – Gerry Hamilton
3-star SG Comeh Emuobor has shown little holes in his game. Defending the perimeter, making great passes, attacking the rim; so many positive plays. – Jamie Shaw
4-star C JP Estrella just knocked down a contested three from the wing. An intriguing skill set to combine with the number of blocked shots and rebounds he continues to accrue. – Jamie Shaw
Game set 4, 4:30 PM
OTE forward Matthew Bewley plays so hard, every time he steps onto the floor. Chases rebounds and finishes at the rim. – Jamie Shaw
5-star PF Kwame Evans has knocked down multiple threes here, both off the catch and off the bounce. You don’t notice much else, but the shot has been falling. – Gerry Hamilton
4-star PG Trey Parker is electric with the ball in his hands. He just knocked down a step-back three and followed it up with a tough and-one finish. – Jamie Shaw
4-star C Somto Cyril has grabbed multiple offensive rebounds here. Finishing at the rim, but his size and activity have been impressive. – Gerry Hamilton
4-star PG Elmarko Jackson just finished the dunk of Day 1 over two defenders. Brought Joe Tipton out of his seat. – Jamie Shaw
