MARIETTA, GA – In Part 2 of our look at SEBA’s All-Star Shootout from last weekend, we focus on in some of the many shooters who tickled the twine in front of a nice turnout of coaches and scouts. By: Keith Agran Mekhi Mawdesley, 6-5, SG, Habersham Central, 2022 (pictured above) Quite familiar from his BCB summer performance how hot he can get from up to 3 or 4 steps past the arc, had a run in one of his games that had coaches scribbling into their notebooks, classic catch and shoot......

MARIETTA, GA – We move to Part 2 from Wood Elite’s Top 100 Showcase at Kell from a week ago, with 4 guys who were just too good to miss. By: Keith Agran Jaiun Simon, 6-6, SF, Pebblebrook, 2023 (pictured above) Had the most impressive showing overall to me, just a monster at times at both ends as he can dictate whatever he wants in spots with an offensive game that has both skill and edginess, showed more of a face-up handle than I’d seen to this point and combined that with......

ATLANTA, GA – Northside Parkway is a great way to get around traffic on 75-N as you make your way up to 285, Cobb and beyond, but you couldn’t get around the sweet backcourt combinations I saw at North Atlanta HS’s Fall League last weekend. Let’s get a snapshot: By: Keith Agran TJ Lewis (6-1, Senior) | K’hamani Olivacce (5-9, Senior), North Atlanta The hosts are not quite rebuilding but have to replace a lot of production off of last year’s 20-win team that drew the unfortunate long road trip to Richmond......

NORCROSS, GA – The Pack Brothers and their Double Trouble organization held their three-day DT Academy for HS-ages this past weekend at Norcross HS, and there was a ton of big-name talent in the building. The big names performed well, I tried as I often do to dig a little deeper and pull some names out who you might not know or who are set to make big jumps in their recruitment. I was able to take in Friday’s drill session and portions of Sunday’s mixed drill and live-play action. I tweeted......

WOODSTOCK, GA – We grab 8 more guys from a very deep field to highlight specifics in what they did at last Sunday at SH Report’s Fall Showcase. By: Keith Agran TOP SHOOTER Caleb Lesch, 6-4, SG, West Forsyth, 2022 Plenty of shooters on hand Sunday who lit it up in drills and game action, effortless and textbook beauty on this stroke from Lesch, a thing to watch in the rotation and splash, good size means he can shoot over folks, despite another stellar turn from the ATL Timberwolves this summer he......

WOODSTOCK, GA – It can be easy for marquee names to both take over play at Showcases as well as over-populate evaluators’ notes. Here are a handful of names from Sunday’s SH Report Fall Showcase who were either new to me or don’t draw in the same amount of exposure as others, but deserve the attention. By: Keith Agran Christian Torres, 6-5, PF, East Hall, 2022 > The activity level and effort put him at or near the day’s top, snuck up on guys it appeared as he was a load to......

WOODSTOCK, GA – Southern Hoops Report hosted its Fall Showcase at Etowah HS last Sunday, and yet another deep field was in attendance for Kris Watkins and crew. It was a fun and hard-working day as the kids got excellent drill work in and the game-play was at a high level. Some familiar faces from past Showcases this year as well as June Live play shined yet again, while a few others stamped their presence onto radars of evaluators in attendance. As I bounced from court to court, here are 7 that......

SUWANEE, GA – HoopSeen kicked off its Fall League last Thursday night at SSA, a good field is assembled and I got a look at several guys who are sure to be impact performers for their teams this fall and winter. By: Keith Agran Nordin Kapic, 6-8, PF, Denmark, 2022 The European-transfer has exceptional ability and transforms Denmark from what was going to be an already excellent playoff contender to perhaps a team that can make a deep run, scoring ability from multiple levels aside it’s the passing that really jumps out......
