All Georgia Elite (OTR) (17U)

Xion Evans and Dominion Bunch – Visited Indiana State; unofficial visit to FAMU coming up
Analysis:
Evans and Bunch proved to be one of the hottest duos on the OTR Circuit this summer. Evans is a go-to scorer and Bunch is a versatile frontline force.
PSB Tampa (17U)

Ayaan Bhadouria – Offers from Carnegie Mellon, Middlebury, and Centre
Micah Jarvis – Offer from Centre College; visit scheduled to Berry College (Sept 18-19); heavy interest from Sewanee and Oglethorpe
Mo Turner – Offer from Centre College; visit scheduled to Huntingdon (Oct 30); heavy interest from Oglethorpe, Webber International, and Kenyon
Jonah Daniel – Offer from Centre College; heavy interest from Oglethorpe, WPI, Kenyon, and Wabash
Reid Boland – Offer from Centre College; visit scheduled to Randolph-Macon (Sept 26-27); heavy interest from Catholic, Oglethorpe, and Sewanee
Adrian Thomas – Heavy interest from Webber International, Keiser, Warner, Middle Georgia State, and Montevallo
Bob Buccino – Offer from Penn State Brandywine; heavy interest from Rowan
Karson Coleman – Heavy interest from Albright, Immaculata, Piedmont, and Covenant
Cam Samuel – Offer from Cairn University; interest from Albright
Analysis:
PSB Tampa is one of the best at getting their prospects in front of college coaches. From high academic candidates to specialty players, everyone gets a look Bhadouria emerged as one of the top all-around prospects on the OTR Circuit this year. His blend of shot making and athleticism make him a recruitable prospect.
Warner Robins All Stars (17U)

Tyler Harris (’27) – Campus visit to Huntingdon College in September
Analysis:
Harris is a prospect with sneaky potential at the next level. He served as a defensive stopper for Coach Tat and the All-Stars. We are not sure we have seen the best of Harris at this moment. Let's watch how his high school season progresses.
Tennessee Panthers Basketball Club (17U)

Cleo Wonderly (’27) and Cooper McElroy (’28) – Camping at Lincoln Memorial this weekend
C.J. Colliers (’27) – Offer from Newberry
Analysis:
Coach McInnis continues to develop prospects in Middle Tennessee who achieve success at the high school level and are ready for the college game. Wonderly proved to be a top scorer at the Final Run at the end of July. While McElroy became one of the hottest 2028 prospects on the OTR Circuit and should be tracked closely this high school season.
Florida All Stars (17U)

O’Jarion Patrice – Offer from Oberlin College plus several others
Cyrus Pipkin – Received an offer and is now attending St. Thomas University
Tykeem Paseler – Interest from several schools
Analysis:
Patrice is a hidden gem in South Florida. There are a handful of coaches that are trying to get ahead of the curve. He earned recognition at the Power 24 this summer. Here is what @OntheRadarHoops wrote:
O’jarion Patrice (@Ojarionp2027) is another long guard for the Florida All stars. He looked unstoppable today in transition. Utilizes his wingspan for disruptions on defense then gets a layup or a dunk on offense.
Thunder Select (17U)

Ian Kelly – Received an offer during the live period
Analysis:
Kelly was a breakout prospect at the Power 24. He picked up an offer from Huntingdon College after lighting up the scoreboard. He also visited Lee College this month. In terms of guards who are wired to score, Kelly is one of the best in the state of Georgia.
HezzyFam OTR (15U)

Ar’Monis Jefferson – Interest from Clayton State; unofficial visit scheduled this weekend
Jor’Dyn Holsey – Interest from Georgia Southwestern; plans to visit campus this upcoming season
Analysis:
The HezzyFam organization is showing that they are working hard to get their kids seen at an early age. Jefferson and Holsey had several good weekends on the OTR Circuit. They certainly deserve the attention they are getting.
