I conclude my protection of the TCU Elite Camp by taking a deep dive on the 2025 prospects that carried out properly. The 2025 class nationally is loaded and it’s additionally loaded in Texas. Let’s have a look.
RELATED: 2026 Standouts at TCU Elite Camp
Parker Jefferson, Jason Scott Look Wholesome Once more
It’s actually a course of in recovering from critical accidents. For the physique to be 100% bodily, the conditioning needing to be on level and in addition the arrogance to do issues on the courtroom the participant was accustomed to doing previous to the harm.
Junior (2025) huge man Parker Jefferson is again wholesome and has shedded some weight. He confirmed off his passing abilities, post-play and deal with within the open courtroom. He’s by no means going to be a big-time vertical athlete however he’s good, is aware of the way to use his physique to carve out area and his contact from across the rim and outdoors the arc was exhibited at camp.
Jason Scott, who was the Co-MVP of the Pangos FR/SOPH Camp in Dallas final yr, has recovered from his leg harm. The spring & summer season was a bumpy highway however I can inform he’s again to his regular self. Slashing to the rim, a powerful off-ball cutter that performs off two ft properly to transform and able to making pictures from deep. Motor blended with good-enough capturing & a excessive quantity of rim strain is what Scott delivered to the desk.
Cam Smith Is A Sturdy Addition to Duncanville
You possibly can say it’s a reloading yr for Duncanville Excessive College, who completed No. 3 within the Ballislife FAB 50 Rankings for the 2022-2023 season, however items have been added and realizing David Peavy, he’ll have a staff that’ll compete for a state title yearly. Cam Smith is a welcoming addition to the squad. At 6’5 and sporting a 6’8 wingspan, Smith is a lefty wing-guard that performs with size. He thrives in transition as a finisher, assaults closeouts and is an satisfactory driver to the rim. Additionally, Smith is a succesful shooter with clear trying mechanics. Defensively, he intercepted passing lanes and used size to trouble pictures when defending on-ball. Just like the upside with this one, as Smith could be a defensive playmaker and in addition a flexible offensive menace down the highway.
His teammate at Duncanville and the go-to-guy, Kayden Edwards, had a powerful displaying on the as properly. Lefty with one of many quickest releases within the state and may make pictures from all around the courtroom. As his ball-skills and energy have improved, it’s allowed him to open his sport and get to his pictures. Prior, he was extra of a spot up man, however as a result of he’s extra snug creating and placing the ball on the ground, Edwards can maintain the protection guessing on when he’ll launch.
Versatility of Kash Polk
Somebody that will not have popped out to some however actually impressed me was Kash Polk. He’s about 6’7 with plus arm size and he simply will get so much executed on the courtroom. Rebounds his butt off, is a seize and go candidate, seems to be to get to the rim, assertive pursuit to the rim and may make pictures from the perimeter. An computerized double-double man that competes on the defensive finish, too. Seeing him decide to guarding the first ball handler and in addition tussle with the bigs on the block was a very good factor. Polk makes successful basketball performs and I believe will find yourself within the 10-15 vary within the 2025 class when it’s all mentioned and executed.
South Grand Prairie Will Be One To Hold Tabs Of
South Grand Prairie has three 2025 prospects that catch my eye constantly and can play huge roles this season. Cam Carroll is a 6’2 combo that’s a D1 guard. Bodily, has a powerful body and is shifty with the ball. He confirmed extra of his passing this final weekend and that’s been the swing ability for him…. How properly or keen is he as a passer? I positively consider he’s rising in that division as he’s somebody that could be a common customer to the paint and seen him make kick-out passes to the shooter within the nook or dump it off to the put up. Cam Paul is an enormous wing at about 6’7 with guard abilities. He could make robust pictures and is robust as a pull-up shooter. Coupled together with his motor and energy he’s added to his wiry construct, Paul has emerged as a excessive main prospect in a loaded 2025 class. Markece Younger is the final one and he’s a yunk-yard canine. Rebounder, defender, driver to the rim. Like his aggressive nature and pursuit to get to the paint and end.
Guard Standouts
LD Jones, 6’3 2/1 CG – North Forney: Was a very good efficiency day for LD. He could be inconsistent however he holds immense expertise. An athletic guard that may rating it in bunches. Extra snug enjoying off the ball however confirmed some good playmaking talents within the open courtroom.
Caleb Steger, 6’4 SG – Dallas Jesuit: Caleb confirmed his capturing prowess. A dependable shooter with a stockier body. Regardless if that was on motion, spot up or mid-range pull-up, Steger was knocking it down.
JaCobe Coleman, 6’2 CG – Tempo Academy: A pure scorer that’s athletic. Will get downhill and finishes using energy and contact. Holds a fast first step and fearless with regard to pulling the set off from deep.
Jaylon Dean-Vines, 6’5 Wing – Kimball: An athletic wing-scorer. Explosive finisher and an satisfactory pull-up shooter. Has improved as a shot creator within the final yr and I count on a breakout yr at Kimball.
Roman Miller, 6’3 PG – Mustang (OK): I like this child’s sport so much. A pg with good positional dimension and really feel. A secure live-dribble passer that confirmed environment friendly mid-range sport. I like how he balanced playmaking and scoring. He comes from a household of robust basketball bloodlines as his dad is the all-time main scorer at East Central in Oklahoma.
Jamison Thrower, 6’3 CG – WT White: A terrific addition to WT White, a staff that carries an immense quantity of dimension within the front-court. Jamison has a very good canvas and may rating and facilitate properly. Obtained to the rim and when given area, he saved the protection trustworthy by connecting on a pair jumpers.
Leroy Kelly IV, 6’2 2/1 CG – Dynamic Prep: A pure scorer with good really feel for the sport. Leroy assaults closeouts properly and has a clear pull-up jumper from mid-range and is a reliable shooter from deep off the catch. He’s been constant and productive on offense everytime I see him and the TCU Elite Camp wasn’t something completely different.
Bigs
David Iweze, 6’8 PF – Ischool: A ahead prospect with extra ability to his sport than given credit score. Handles properly for place and dimension, outdoors of Parker Jefferson, was the second greatest huge man passer on the camp and defensively lined floor resulting from his lengthy arms and lengthy strides.
Amari Reed, 6’6 PF/C – Lancaster: Can inform Amari has been engaged on increasing his sport. Tried threes, though I didn’t see one go in I did see his willingness to drive to the rim and try jumpers when open. Nonetheless has methods to go however I can recognize the truth that he’ll attempt to do the issues he’s been engaged on on this setting. A tough-playing put up with big-time size at over 7-foot. He tries to dunk the whole lot, block the whole lot and rebound each miss.
Aidan Duran, 6’6 PF – PSAT: Was a stable contributor on the camp. Actually a tweener that may rating in and out. A mismatch ahead when his shot from the perimeter is on, he’s laborious to protect.
Jayden Leverett, 6’9 C – Chapin: He was good on the camp. Nonetheless uncooked however performed properly. One factor that basically stood out to me was how fast he processes issues. He utilized the post-moves and positioning that was taught on the camp and transferred it instantly to the sport. That’s not regular in most camp settings, particularly for bigs, however for Jayden it was no drawback and it equated to success.
Hudson Goellner, 6’8 PF/C – Rockwall: A tough enjoying, robust ahead that’s energetic on the glass. Like his motor, skill to play by contact and get positioning inside. A glue man that gives greater than what’s seen on the stat sheet.
