2026 | Nolan Ericson | PSB Elite

2026 G Nolan Ericson had a standout weekend for PSB Elite. The lefty averaged over 20+ points per game finding scoring opportunities all over the court. Ericson is a high percentage scorer, knocking it down off the catch after ball screens or driving for a mid-range pull up or lay-up at the basket. Effective guard with a high IQ that reads the defense well to find scoring opportunities.

2026 | Tatum Holmes | SEBA

2026 G Tatum Holmes has been on a tear early this travel season for SEBA. Holmes has had multiple standout weekends and made himself known to his opponents this past weekend. Holmes does well finding teammates in transition, and can just as easily take it to the rack himself and score through contact. Holmes is continuously on the move, giving his defenders limited time to react. Defensively, Holmes is a menace, protecting the inside and the basket as much as possible.

 

2026 | Gideon Kamuelyu | Georgia Canes

2026 6’6″ PF Gideon Kamuelyu is a dominant power forward that was tough to stop all weekend long. Kamuelyu does well driving to the basket, shooting outside around 10′ out, and making moves to the basket around the short corner or block. Kamuelyu has perfected his ability to use his body and footwork to move over or around defenders, finishing through contact at the basket. Uber athletic and bouncy big that should see interest from college coaches this summer.

 

 

2026 | Jerrod Long | Austin Rivers SE Elite

2026 G is a shifty guard that can create shots off the dribble. Long is effective using minimal dribbles to get to his spots and can just as easily knock it down off the catch. Long did well evaluating the defense to find teammates cutting to the rim or dump passes inside. Had several standout performances this weekend with his quickness of play and ability to score it in bunches.

 

2026 | Trevor Manhertz | Garner Road

2026 SF Trevor Manhertz was a name that was mentioned throughout the weekend. Manhertz is one of the more versatile prospects in his class; able to bring it up the court, make plays from outside the arc, or find shots at the mid-range or basket. Manhertz has a high clip from outside, consistently knocking down multiple 3-pointers each game. Developed footwork around the mid-range to hit step-back’s or take it inside and finish at the rim. A prospect with a high ceiling that should see his recruitment pick-up heading into the summer.

 

2027 | Alex Nicohls | MABA

2027 6’2″ G Alex Nichols may have easily been one of the best shooters in his class this past weekend. In their opening game, Nichols scored a game high 30 points connecting on 7 3-pointers. Nichols was deadly off the catch, a high percentage shooter with a smooth release and proficient mechanics. Nichols made himself hard to guard with his ability to be versatile in the attack, getting by defenders for crafty finishes around the basket. Nichols made it seem just as easy to find his teammates open around the basket or in transition. Big time sleeper in his class.
