Freakish athlete, maybe the most athletic guard in his class, strong with great handles allows him to get to the cup with ease, where he finishes with either hand...I saw him throughout the Grind Session season and he looked like an improved shooter at the Pangos AA Camp, which is deadly because his first step is quick...great on ball defender, quick in the passing lanes and is a high flyer in the open court... his ability to handle it allows him to be the middle man on the break and in P&R he can blow by a big if the D switches... takes good shots, can create his own as well as setting up his teammates, good rebounder for his size.

Saw AD at the Pangos AA Camp in Las Vegas in June '25 A rebounding machine, loves to mix it up in the paint, has a thin frame so gets pushed around by big thick guys, may be a four at the next level, but will bat10le those big body's, he doesn't shy away from contact...boxes out well, can block shots and has good passing ability for outlet passes...can play with his back to the basketball, probably better at that then facing the hoop, but does have range at 16'...good athlete, runs the floor well, sets good screens, is definitely a roller, not a pick and pop guy, gets most of his points in the paint...better than average hands but just average handles, better handles in the open court, isn't going to beat you one on one in the half court, takes good shots...you want him filling a wing in transition, can finish strong around the rim...is a good low post defender and as I mentioned, helps well and can block shots from the weak side, he understands the game and has good court awareness and really goo

body language, a great teammate, always encouraging his teammates.

Elias Obenyah - 6'-5". Salesian (CA)

Class of 2026 | 6'5" Guard/Forward | Salesian (CA)

Twitter: @EliasObenyah | Instagram: @eliasobenyah


From the Pangos AA Camp, Las Vegas, June of 2025 Real good athlete, strong and physical, has some burst, can finish thru contact...good handles, passes it well, pushes the break aggressively, effective playmaker in transition, pulls up nicely from mid-range, can shoot it from 3 too, goes hard on the drive-nice first step, can defend and rebound, has a motor, great teammate...can also play with his back to the basket, good pick and roll ball handler.

Willie Burnett III

Class of 2026 | 6'5" Guard | Gillion (VA)

Twitter: @Burnettwillie_ | Instagram: @wb32ez


A great talent who can score from all three levels. Has great range and can finish strong at the rack. He is the leader of West Oaks who is very vocal and coachable. Can defend either guard position. He plays the passing lanes with his long athletic frame. Burnett has high basketball IQ and very focused when he is on the floor. He is a great rebounder from his position and will excel at either of the guard positions.

Tyran Stokes

Class of 2026 | 6'8" Forward | Notre Dame (CA)

Twitter: @tyran_stokes | Instagram: @_thetyranstokes


At 6-foot-8, 225 pounds, Stokes is far from a typical junior. One of the top players in the 2026 class, Stokes started for an undefeated Vegas Elite game, playing two divisions up at 14 years old last AAU season. Stokes averaged 14.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 23 minutes on the court. Several college coaches lined the baseline all summer as Stokes showcased an improved outside jump shot, stepping into a couple of 3-pointers with confidence. Stokes moves well for his frame has great instincts in the lane and has solid footwork around the rim. Stokes could challenge for the number one recruit in 2026 with continued improvement which he should receive playing for Notre Dame this season. Stokes is another recruit where picking the right college program will be essential to his pro development.

Twitter: @Marcis_P2026 | Instagram: @iammarcisponder_


What a horse, big body, back to the basket player was dominate in the paint on offense and defense I saw him play...godd on ball and help defender, blocks shots and is an excellent rebounder..runs the floor well for a kid his size, will improve as a mid-range shooter as his game develops, but this big fella has a major upside.

Keeper Jackson

Class of 2026 | 6'7" Forward | Columbus (FL)

Twitter: @KEEPERJACKSON22 | Instagram: @keeper_23kj


Saw KJ at the Pangos AA Camp in Las Vegas in June '24 Good athlete, runs and jumps very well, unselfish, good basketball IQ, the all-star, no structure on offensive setting didn't play to his strengths, in the three games I saw him play he got limited shot opportunities, but was a catch and shoot wing player, didn't try driving very often, nice stroke from distance...good defender, talked a lot on D with good help side presence, didn't rebound great, but wasn't in the key very often, played on the perimeter mostly...better than average handles and a good hoop IQ, great in transition/open floor filling a wing, has potential to be a very good three level scorer.

McKae Amundsen

Class of 2026 | 5'8" Guard | Clovis North (CA)

Twitter: @AmundsenMckae | Instagram: @mckaeamundsen3


McKae is a crafty PG with great court presence. For his size he is able to finish around the basket or set up his teammate but what makes him dangerous is his ability to knock down the three . On the defensive end he has a great IQ and makes reads off the ball while his on ball defense often frustrates his opponents with pressure.

Allasane Doucoure

Class of 2027 | 6'11" Center | Prolific Prep (FL)

Twitter: | Instagram:


Allasane Doucouré is an exciting international prospect from Bamako, Mali, entering his junior season at Prolific Prep. Despite arriving late in the year and still learning English, Doucouré has already made a strong impression with his physical tools, natural instincts, and rapid development.

Standing at 6’11” with a strong frame, Doucouré is a dominant presence in the paint. Defensively, he excels as a rim protector and shot blocker, using his length and timing to alter shots and secure rebounds. He plays with toughness in the key, and his ability to defend without fouling stands out for a player still adjusting to the American style of play.

Offensively, Doucouré is highly effective on the low block. He finishes well through contact and displays good footwork and touch around the rim. He has also shown the ability to step out and hit mid-range jumpers with consistency, making him a more complete offensive threat. His solid performance at the free-throw line adds to his reliability in late-game situations.

One of Doucouré’s most promising traits is his coachability. He works hard, listens intently, and shows steady improvement every time he takes the floor. As he continues to adapt to the language and culture, his confidence and communication on the court are expected to grow significantly.

With his size, skill, and upside, Allasane Doucouré is a high-ceiling big man with the potential to become a high-major Division I recruit. His combination of defensive impact and offensive polish at such a young age makes him a player to watch closely in the Class of 2027.

Seven Spurlock

Class of 2026 | 6'3" Guard/Forw (FL)

Twitter: @Sevenspurlock1 | Instagram: @seven_spurlock


Seven Spurlock is a versatile and high-motor wing player from Prolific Prep who enters his senior year as one of the team’s most impactful two-way contributors. Standing at 6’3”, Spurlock primarily plays the small forward position but has the skill set and agility to slide into the shooting guard role when needed, giving coaches flexibility in both offensive and defensive matchups.

Defensively, Spurlock sets the tone. He’s a relentless on-ball defender who applies full-court pressure and thrives in disrupting the rhythm of opposing guards. His lateral quickness, anticipation, and physical toughness allow him to guard multiple positions, making him a key asset in switch-heavy schemes. He embraces the challenge of locking down top scorers and brings consistent energy on every possession.

Offensively, Spurlock displays high-level court vision and passing ability, often acting as a secondary ball-handler or facilitator. He sees the floor well in transition and in the half court, creating opportunities for teammates with smart reads and unselfish play. While his scoring ability continues to develop, his willingness to do the little things — rebound, dive for loose balls, make the extra pass — makes him a glue guy who elevates team success.

Spurlock is a fiery competitor who plays with a chip on his shoulder and a relentless drive to win. His intensity, defensive mindset, and team-first mentality make him a college-ready wing with the intangibles coaches covet. As he continues to refine his offensive game, expect his recruiting stock to rise significantly during his final high school season.

Twitter: @symon_ghai | Instagram: @symondhak18


Symon Ghai is a long, athletic post player from Senegal entering his senior season at Academy of Central Florida with a reputation as a high-impact defender and reliable interior presence. With a notable wingspan and impressive timing, Ghai thrives as a shot blocker and rim protector, consistently altering shots and locking down the paint against opposing bigs.

Defensively, Ghai is a standout. He covers space quickly, rotates well, and has the mobility to guard ball screens and switch onto smaller players when needed. His presence in the key deters drives and forces opponents to change their offensive approach. He brings intensity and awareness on that end of the floor, making him a valuable anchor in any defensive scheme.

Offensively, Ghai has solid hands and a good feel for the game around the rim. He finishes efficiently with both hands and understands positioning in the post, allowing him to create scoring opportunities with minimal dribbles. His ability to control the ball in tight spaces and score through contact gives his team a dependable option inside. He continues to improve his footwork and touch, and with his coachable attitude, that development is expected to continue.

Off the court and in the locker room, Ghai is known as a great teammate and leader by example. He works hard, listens, and brings a positive energy to the team dynamic.

Symon Ghai projects as a strong Division I prospect with a defensive foundation that translates immediately and an offensive game that continues to grow. His combination of length, effort, and coachability make him a player with real long-term potential.

Rajan Roberts

Class of 2026 | 6'1" Center | Prolific Prep (FL)

Twitter:  @RajanRob2 | Instagram: @jonsoshifty_1


Rajan Roberts is a dynamic and high-IQ guard from Chicago, Illinois, entering his senior season at nationally ranked Prolific Prep. Known for his lightning-quick first step and exceptional handle with both hands, Roberts is a blur in transition and a constant threat to create separation off the dribble.

Offensively, Roberts is a well-rounded scorer. He has deep range on his jump shot and can consistently knock down three-pointers off the catch or dribble. In the half-court, he’s just as comfortable hitting pull-up jumpers from midrange as he is attacking the rim with craft and speed. His strong court vision allows him to make sharp reads, often setting up teammates for easy buckets in both open-floor and set-play situations.

Roberts also stands out as a defender. He takes pride in locking up on the perimeter, using his quickness, anticipation, and lateral movement to apply pressure and force turnovers. His on-ball defense, paired with a strong understanding of team defensive schemes, makes him a two-way contributor.

A selfless competitor and respected teammate, Roberts plays with intensity and purpose every possession. His leadership, skill set, and defensive toughness make him a valuable asset for any high-level program. With another strong season ahead, Rajan Roberts is poised to draw significant Division I interest as one of the more complete and underrated guards in the Class of 2025.
