🔥 OFFER FROM CAMP

'27 G, Jayden Hopkins @jaydenhopkins__ has received an offer from Langston University after a great showing at the @AllNOneSports1 Labor Day Showcase

With @jaylen_durham , pay attention to what happens before the pass. He has a developing feel for drawing defenders into decisions, then finding the opportunity that follows. For a 2028 guard, learning how to manipulate coverage instead of simply reacting to it is an important part of his progression.

Travis Black @Travisblack3 is a crafty, athletic gem who can really score, but his IQ adds even more to his game. He changes pace, creates off the bounce, and attacks the rim with the strength to finish through contact. Travis can also create for his teammates, and his feel for the game makes him a playmaker who knows when to score and when to set somebody else up.

Ayden Cox @acox2028 has a smart, unselfish game with the court vision to find teammates while still creating his own offense. He moves well without the ball, sees plays developing, and has the patience to make the right read instead of forcing the action. Ayden brings that same IQ defensively, staying active on the ball, reading rotations, and putting himself in the right spots. His passing, feel for the game, and team-first mentality bring plenty of value on both ends.

Dylan Rogers @DylanRRogers27 is a shifty guard who combines sick handles, good floor vision, and a physical attack off the bounce. He changes speeds well, creates the space he needs, and can finish tough buckets at the rim with either hand. Dylan also sees his big rolling to the basket and shooters waiting on the outside, using his vision and passing to create easy looks for his teammates.

Banner Carlson @bannercarlson is a versatile guard who can hurt a defense in plenty of ways with the ball in his hands. He can rain in the three, attack off the bounce and use his size to finish strong at the rim. Banner handles the ball well, changes direction to get where he wants and can attack a closeout instead of settling for the jumper. His ability to create and score from all three levels gives defenses plenty to worry about.

2027 G Artis Hampton keeps proving why he should be on more recruits list.

Shooting is great but there are other areas I enjoy about his game. Drive to the rim and finish or find someone open.

Defensively I enjoyed him as well. Being able to take a charge is something that goes unnoticed but can be a big play. Something college coaches will notice about you.

Its these types of things that have me interested in him. Ways he can affect the game without scoring.

Should be on many college teams radar if they are looking for a 2027 class player.

2030 PG Gage Stepich is someone we want you to start knowing about.

What I really like about him is his PG IQ. He understands how to play the pick and roll. Can read what defenses are doing and show great pass ability.

Can shoot the basketball as well which is key for any young PG. Being able to shoot will allow him to drive and pass easier because defenders have to respect the shot.

I think for a 2030 he has many tools that will allow him to be a great pg. He has that PG feel and ability to shoot.

More work to go but we believe Gage Stepich is a young PG we want you to know about.
@Gage__11 @NXTLevelSN

[Elite Hoops Spotlight @EHoopsSpotlight]

His 15 points per game will stand out but I think he has more to offer with his 10 rebounds and 7 assists per game as well.

Impressed by this 2027 guard at 6'3". Has the ability to shoot the ball from the perimeter, handle and change speed while making plays. His 40% from 3 will be something that teams can utilize. Allows him to get to the rim or make other passes.

Could have a diverse skill set if he continues to develop. Shooting guard that can grab rebounds at his position and distribute the ball.

Will continue to keep an eye on him in the class of 2027.
@KortlanWilliams @NXTLevelSN

[Elite Hoops Spotlight @EHoopsSpotlight]

He's a very explosive guard that will play with speed and confidence on both ends of the floor.

His ability to change directions and gain separation from defenders is impressive. He knows how to play at different speeds and control the tempo of the game. He can shoot from deep but can also drive to the basket. He has good court vision and knows how to make the right pass to open up other players.

Defensively he will bring intensity on the ball and play hard.

What I enjoy about him is all these attributes can play together. He can play fast and be a shot creator, explosive and have good court vision. All while being competitive on defense. He will make defenses beat him as a score but won't hold onto the ball too long and try to make his teammates better.

Great two way guard that college programs should know about.

The 2028 G Chase LeBaron had some nice offensive touches at the @AllNOneSports1 Labor Day showcase.

Niceville HS guard can score from all levels with being 6'2". Can sink the 3 but I enjoy his ability to attack the midrange as well.

Not only can he create for himself but he's able to find others as well. Has good feel for the game when it comes to passing.

Good shot maker, mid range touch and can pass the ball. That's always a plus on a 2028 class guard.

LeBaron is someone to continue to follow as he grows.

[Elite Hoops Spotlight @EHoopsSpotlight]

2027 G Dae'vion Bailey will bring great speed and quickness to the perimeter and he loves to score.

Marion HS 6'0" guard has good shooting form and is able to make the three and pull up jumper. But he can be tricky to guard because he's quick. Bailey will be able to take defenders around the corner and come downhill to score. He likes to get to the rim instead of just taking jump shots.

Good shooting mechanics along with speed and quickness and he can finish at the basket. That's what I like about Bailey. Defenders will have to respect the jumper but also worry about him coming to the rim.

If you add a 3.6 GPA and making Honor roll and 5A East All Conference he's a guard to watch for the class of 2027.

Ayden Harvey @aydenharvey09 lives in attack mode and keeps the defense on its heels. He can rain in the three, attack off the bounce with pace, get to the rim, and finish strong through traffic or above it. His court vision shines when the defense collapses, finding the open man with a sweet pass and creating easy buckets. Add his length, anticipation, defensive versatility, and nonstop motor, and Ayden can make his mark on both ends.

[Kevin Moses Scouting and Promotional Services @mosesk225]

Daniel “DT” Green @TheDanielGreen_ is a versatile playmaker with three-level scoring ability and plenty of bounce. Whether he is attacking off the bounce, raining in threes, or rising at the rim, he is a problem with the ball in his hands. Daniel can run the show, create for others, or flip into scoring mode, giving him plenty of ways to make his presence felt.

[Kevin Moses Scouting and Promotional Services @mosesk225]

Gabe Stepich @Gage__11 is the perfect floor general with a pass-first mentality and a feel for running the show. He controls the pace, changes speeds with the ball in his hands, and uses his handle to create space. His elite court vision leads to dazzling passes, but he can also rain in the three, score off the bounce, and make the extra pass to keep the offense rolling. Gabe plays with a high motor and knows how to make winning plays.

🚨 MEET 28’ G 6’2 CHASE LeBARON 🚨

@CLeBaron2028 continues to show intriguing upside as a 6’2” guard with scoring ability and confidence with the ball.

At the @AllNOneSports1 Labor Day Showcase, LeBaron flashed shot-making, smooth offensive instincts and the ability to create his own looks. He plays with good pace, doesn’t shy away from tough attempts and looks comfortable operating as a primary scoring option.

📈 Size + skill + confidence = a 2028 prospect worth following closely.
