He stretches the floor with his shooting and shows burst when attacking off the dribble. A strong offensive rebounder, he finishes well with both hands through contact. Dickert is trending up, closing his week with 12 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks. 2027 6-7 F Noah Brady – Tier2Elite – Mt. Vernon Brady continues to emerge as one of the......

A selection of top performers from Thursday at the Elite 32. By: Kyle Sandy  2026 6-2 G Chaz Rose – Salt Lake Rebels The shooting performance of the weekend came from Chaz Rose, an incredible 11-made threes en route to 35 points in a blowout win. The long-armed guard has a smooth, effortless release with deep range. Rose was shot-ready on the catch and was able to knock down shots off the dribble as well. When Chaz wasn’t burying threes, he was making a difference with his vision, shoveling in assists on......

Sunday’s top performers from the OTR Top Performers.  By: Kyle Sandy 2027 6-1 G Hogan Labyak – Atlanta Timberwolves White – Bishop Kenny Labyak put on an offensive clinic Sunday morning, pouring in 34 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal while sinking seven three-pointers. Hogan’s elite shot making made the defense pay any time they weren’t glued onto him. Labyak moves well without the ball, getting his feet set on the catch immediately. While his three-point shot was his biggest weapon, Hogan proved he was much more than just a......

OTR Hoops: Saturday Top Performers from the Sweet 16 - May 19, 2025

Saturday’s top performers from the OTR Top Performers.  By: Kyle Sandy 2026 6-2 G Jaxon Moore – Mike Dean Athletics – Calhoun I am a big fan of Jaxon Moore’s game. I think he’s ready for a breakout senior season. A multisport athlete who also gets the job done on the gridiron as a wideout, Moore is a strong athlete that finishes in the lane but is most effective with his jump shot. Jaxon is an above average catch-and-shoot three-point marksman that can also get his shot off the bounce from the......

OTR Hoops: Who Wants the Smoke Sunday Top Performers - May 12, 2025

A list of top performers from Sunday at Who Wants the Smoke? in Marietta, Georgia.  By: Kyle Sandy 2028 6-2 W Owen Ward – Team Scoot – Walton (Pictured) I was super impressed with Owen Ward’s athleticism and effort. Ward’s motor stood out in a 60-41 win. He was all over the floor making plays, especially on defense. Ward flew around blocking shots without fouling. He got to shots face-to-face and from beyond. Owen’s smooth athleticism pairs well with a frame that already has lean muscle and could pack on even more. ......

A list of top performers from Saturday at Who Wants the Smoke? in Marietta, Georgia. By: Kyle Sandy  2026 6-0 PG Markenzy Sainvil – E5 Florida – TLAP (Pictured) The energy and emotion Markenzy plays with is infectious. A true pass-first point guard, Sainvil is a quick-twitch athlete with explosive leaping ability. He flies around the floor to make plays on defense and serves as a cool-headed playmaker on offense. In a 64-61 win over the Atlanta Celtics, Sainvil was paramount in the see-saw affair. Markenzy rotated over for the game-clinching steal......

A list of top performers from Sunday at Run for the Cup. By: Kyle Sandy 2029 6-2 W Jameon Allen – Team EYA – Morrow Allen was instrumental in a 51-48 win over Team Scoot. The lengthy lefty did a little bit of everything. Jameon is a smooth attacker. He fluidly goes behind the back as he beats pressure bringing the ball up the floor. Allen plays with a high motor. When he gets into the paint he is a threat to dump off assists to his big men once drawing the......

A list of top performers from Friday’s action at Run for the Cup. By: Kyle Sandy 2026 6-2 G Demari Bailey – Team Forrest – Griffin College coaches need to touch base with Demari Bailey, an All-Region performer out of Griffin.

Bailey is a smooth athlete, an agile guard that excels at pushing the tempo after collecting rebounds. Demari has good size on the perimeter and puts......
