This sold-out event featured 120 top 2015 and 2016 players (along with a few talented 2017 players) from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kansas and Virginia.

* Isaiah Brown 5’10” 2016 Flower Mound (Flower Mound TX) Quick playmaker with solid handle.* Andrew Dotson 6’2” 2015 Martin (Arlington TX) Crafty scorer matched King McClure for a team-high 17 points to lead the Black squad over the White team 96-83. This fiery competitor has great court savvy and a high basketball IQ.* Tyler Davis 6’9” 2015 Liberty (Frisco TX) Burly and very physical postman is a bull in the paint and his soft hands allow him to be consistent scorer on the block. Davis has the size, work-ethic and motor to develop into a high-major impact player. Born in San Jose CA, this talented PF has called Plano TX home since he was 14. |
| * Austin Evans 6’5” 2015 Green Hill (Addison TX) Smooth lefty with an accurate perimeter stroke reportedly has Ivy league caliber grades.* Terrance Ferguson 6’5” 2016 Home School (Flower Mound TX) One of the surprises of camp, Ferguson has a chance to skyrocket up the national charts once more and more scouts and media get exposed to his variety of skills. Reminds me of a young Josh Childress (Stanford/NBA) and his long-range perimeter stroke was an impressive sight all weekend long. His gangly physique and huge feet make him a prospect nowhere close to peaking for a long time. Ferguson’s 23 points in Top 25 game (including several deep “threes”) forced people to take notice that he belongs among the nation’s best in 2016. |

* Admon Gilder 6’2” 2015 Madison (Dallas TX) Strong wing is a defensive stopper with a solid mid-range jump shot.* Dante Hales 6'10” 2015 Wilson (Dallas TX) Very raw C has tremendous length and the potential to evolve into a coveted post prospect.* Harrison Henderson 6’7” 2016 Triple A Academy (Dallas TX) Son of former Duke star Phil Henderson, this long swingman is oozing with potential and his development must be tracked by mid-high majors.* DJ Hogg 6’7” 2015 Plano West (Plano TX) Finesse hybrid-forward moves really well and has the foundation of a nice perimeter jump shot. |
| * Trey Knight 6’3” 2015 Round Rock (Round Rock TX) Athletic off-guard moves well without the ball and shoots the rock with accuracy off the bounce.* Ka’Juan Malveau 5’10” 2015 Everman (Fort Worth TX) Fast PG has ability to beat defenders off the dribble.* King McClure 6’3” 2015 Triple A Academy (Dallas TX) Skilled and athletic combo-guard was clearly the top backcourt prospect here, reminding me of a young Anthony Marshall (UNLV). Love his basketball instincts, willingness to defend and crafty ball handling skills. Big time scorer can fill the bucket in a variety of ways. King’s17 points in Top 25 game as well as terrific all-around play earned him co-MVP honors of that contest. |

* Cameron McGriff 6’5” 2016 South Grand Prairie (Grand Prairie TX) Proto-type athletic SF can do offensive damage from both inside the paint and out on the perimeter. Scored 16 points in Top 25 Game.* Matthew McQuaid 6’4” 2015 Duncanville (Duncanville TX) Bouncy wing with legitimate 3-point stroke. Love his motor and competitiveness.* Jalon Miller 6’6” 2015 Seagoville (Seagoville TX) Strong rebounder is active in the paint as well as mobile in transition.* Brandon Moore 6’5” 2015 Bishop Anne (Lancaster TX) Active wing is a tenacious defender that runs the floor well. |
| * Keoddrick Polk 5’11” 2015 Wyatt (Fort Worth TX) Speedy ballhander can handle defensive pressure well.* Mason Riggins 6’7” 2015 Whitewright (Whitewright TX) Blue collar PF plays hard, is athletic and his productive rebounding in the paint is an asset to any team he suits up for.* Herard Schneider 6’10” 2016 Boyd (McKinney TX) Haiti import is extremely long to say the least and he uses his length with enormous effectiveness as a shotblocker and rebounder. Has to be a Top 20 caliber national prospect in the 2016 class. Great upside!* Tyler Singleton 6’1” 2015 Triple A Academy (Dallas TX) Scrappy off-guard is a harassing defender.* Derrick Staten III 6’0” 2015 Cypress Woods (Houston TX) Heady combo-guard makes good decisions. |

Elite national recruit contributed 12 points/8 in Top 25 game.* Gilbert Thomas 6’6” 2016 C.E. King (Houston TX) Very promising young small forward is active around the rim and rebounds at a high clip.
