Continuing onward with the regional Pangos Frosh/Soph Camps, we took in the 2025 edition of the All South version last weekend. Held in Dallas at the gorgeous Duncanville Fieldhouse, the All- South Camp blended elite positional size, big time athleticism, and some super talented players from 13 different states throughout the South.The two day event gave each player three games to showcase their talent in front of the 30 plus media members/scouts who were in the building, culminating with the Cream of The Crop Top 60 Game and Cream of The Crop Top 30 game reserved for the most productive campers.
The Pangos All South Frosh/Soph Camp has boasted a who’s who as far as NBA alumni, including the likes of De’Aaron Fox, Trae Young, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey, Derrick Favors, Terrance Ferguson, Keyontae George, Cason Wallace, and countless others. Event founder Dinos Trigonis did an outstanding job of assembling a group of talent that will be undoubtedly adding to that list as well, including a couple of eighth graders who are already sitting atop of the rankings.
However, for this article, we’re going to take a deeper look at the top 2028 prospects from the 2025 Pangos All South Frosh/Soph Camp:
Terrell Jackson, 6’9, PF, Dallas Carter HS (Texas)
Combining production and long term potential, Terrell Jackson displayed his massive talent en route to winning Co-MVP at the Pangos All South Frosh/Soph Camp. Jackson exhibited really nice footwork with his back to the basket, was a reliable shooter to mid-range, and finished above the rim. The Dallas Mustangs product is the latest in a long line of talented prospects out of the Dallas Independent School District and will be at the USA Basketball mini-camp this weekend in Colorado Springs.
Xavier Young, 6’10, PF/C, Oak Cliff Faith Family (Texas)
As far as long term upside is concerned, there weren’t many who offered more at the Pangos All South Frosh/Soph Camp than Xavier Young. With a massive frame and crazy wingspan, the sophomore has the ideal frame that you look for out of a big down the road and has the skills both on the perimeter and around the rim with his explosive athleticism to match, Young will receive no shortage of attention as an emerging big in the EYBL Scholastic with Faith Family this upcoming season. He’ll also be at USA Basketball this weekend in Colorado Springs.
Aiden Clark, 6’1, PG, Legacy School of Sports Science (Texas)
The best point guard the camp offered was Aiden Clark, who also wound up being named the MVP of the Cream of The Crop Top 30 game. Clark put on a show with a loaded Max Levels Elite 15U squad on the New Balance P32 Circuit and has already received high major offers from the likes of Mississippi State, NC State, and Boston College.
Eric Beard Jr., 6’2, PG/SG, Houston Heights HS (Texas)
The most athletic of the sophomore guards was undoubtedly “E.J.” Beard, a combo guard out of Houston. Beard was an absolute lockdown defender at either guard spot, was an elite finisher in transition above the rim, and has the natural scoring instincts that you like to see out of a scorer. Beard is definitely one of the elite guards that Texas has to offer and is already firmly on D1 coaches radars.
Na’az Bell, 6’8, PF, Booker T. Washington HS (La.)
There weren’t many bigs who brought more energy to the table at Pangos All South than Na’az Bell. The long sophomore played above the rim on both ends, was elite running the floor, and kept plays alive non stop with his remarkable level of activity. Still a sleeper, Bell is definitely a name to remember in the South as his skill level continues to develop.
Marcellus Luster, 6’4, SG, Denton Guyer HS (Texas)
One of the more talented straight scorers in the event, Marcellus Luster was a problem in one on one situations at the Pangos All South Frosh/Soph Camp. He possesses effortless range from deep, has enough handle to create his own shot, and has the natural scoring instincts of a guy who can fill it up in a hurry. Having won a state title last year at Guyer HS, Luster is destined for a standout sophomore campaign after putting in work with Max Levels on the New Balance P32 Circuit.
