Agency 🔮’s and 📝’s have been added and mock updates have been logged over the past week.

Intel continues to pour in as the prospect field takes shape.

Continue to follow along here ⤵️

The PIT mock is back!

Teamed up with @HoopLikeDrazen to project the 64-prospect field.

The 2026 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament takes place April 15-18. https://t.co/G2Gwpc5XS6

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

@ProLOWD @JonChep For sure. I pushed hard for him. Love the energy he plays with. Likely depends if other players decline. Always a lot of bigs invited.

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

Thanks Chep! This make for my 10th time at PIT. Foundly remember my first go-around back when Jake Odum was Stirtz before Stirtz.

Will be a big class of Seniors, with most all of the extra year Covid eligibility ending for players. See you at Churchland.

[Jon Chepkevich @JonChep]

The PIT mock is back, folks!

Joined forces with @HoopLikeDrazen to map out a 64-prospect field for the 2025 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament.

Double-class with both traditional and COVID super seniors, so should be a great group. https://t.co/o4YH0WZ9gw

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

Looking at 2-Way List. Remember Pat Spencer as rook, 1yr at NW cause of Lax. Had nowhere to play till Feb, to Hamburg for cheap in Covid. Super athlete but still learning game. Knew about Cam. Saw live w/ Loyola/Rutgers, tough/smart but slow. Now both on 2-Ways. Hell of a family.

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

What a list. This is the world now.

BCL Final Four 2024 - Belgrade, Serbia.

🏆 Game is an all Spanish affair.

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

Paris has the Eurocup Finals…

Portland, Maine has the G League Finals

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

@MasonFanatic @JonChep Semi local college, could be a fill in guy if other bigs decline.

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

@thebigwafe @JonChep Straight to the combine with that flamethrower.

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

A tradition like no other… Me + Chep deciding which mid major big is worthy of blessing the floor of Churchland High. Were a month away from PIT.

Last year’s event featured: Toumani Camara, Tyger Campbell, Trey Jemison, Craig Porter Jr, Hunter Tyson…

Tap in to see who’s next.

[Jon Chepkevich @JonChep]

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s PIT mock time!

As is tradition, collaborated w/ the great @HoopLikeDrazen to project the 64-prospect field for the 2024 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. https://t.co/RNkXfHtmVd

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

@NickLovesSpain I couldn’t agree more. Cheers.

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

@ballineurope Thanks broski I’ll take a look

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

How quick it can happen… Back in 2018, D2 coach Joe Mazzulla got me in touch w/ D2 player Haywood Highsmith to see if wanted to hoop Overseas. He went to G League, eventually did 1yr in Europe w/ Crailsheim…. 5 years later Haywood just nailed a 3pt next to Joe coaching in ECF.

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

@EricWeiss_SA Couldn’t agree more. And his top ast left before the playoffs started. Never even close to a staff that reflects the coach. But the media discourse is vile. It’s getting personal out there.

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

No one better to collab with than Chep. All the fancy work is by him. Just happy to put my recommendations in. Our PIT mock.

[Jon Chepkevich @JonChep]

Back by popular demand, it’s PIT mock time!

Teamed up w/ Sam Meyerkopf to project the 64-prospect field for the 2023 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament.

See you soon, Churchland High 🫡 https://t.co/XFKCqtVwnz

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

Cup weekend is something special in Europe. Been to Spain, Italy, France to see but watching from afar this year. Can still see all the emotions. Brescia’s run, Oldenburg in finals at home, Bourg v Asvel, & Tenerife maybe making history with their first Copa. Happy Finals Day 🏆

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

@robscott33 @PIT_Basketball A guaranteed lock if there ever was one.

[Sam Meyerkopf @HoopLikeDrazen]

Wait the Churchland High School. Home of @PIT_Basketball. Yet more history being made on that court.

[Darren M. Haynes @DarrenMHaynes]

MUST SEE: A 22-year-old Virginia H.S. basketball coach is fired after impersonating a 13-year-old in a JV basketball game!! They also CANCELED the ENTIRE season for this!

This was at Churchland H.S. in Portsmouth, VA. on Jan 21st.

Here's the video:
