@houdefenders have a few 2028’s playing 17’s. Soon to be 4⭐️ guard @ericbeard2028_ (Heights HS) played well. A tough shot maker, physical guard who will need to be more aggressive offensively to help his team on the @p32league

His HS teammate 6’5 ‘28 Erick Egwegbara was active in the interior with his offensive rebounding and ability to run the floor and finish at the rim.

‘27 G @BryantAmirrr (Xavier Academy) played as well as I’ve seen him play in a while. He attacked basket with his athleticism, and had several dunks in half court. When he plays downhill and with confidence he’s tough to defend.

Immediate impact. Physical defender. Confident shot-maker. Attacks gaps, finishes through contact, and competes every possession. Plays with pace, toughness, and intent — not developmental minutes, winning minutes.

Plug-and-play.

Conroe, TX 📍 | #ConroeChristmasClassic

Spent the Day at Conroe HS (@ConroeHoops) and what an amazing gym set-up it was! 3 beautiful gyms, within 5 steps of each other, allowed me to get eyes on a ton of action! Let’s talk Hoopers! ⬇️

The Show 🎬

Elijah Garrett (@_elijahhh5) was the show! He was the engine, and as Beaumont Westbrook looks to go back to back, he is the IDENTITY. Seems as if Wesbrook is ready to roll now ,after huge weekend. Christian Haskett (@KatilChristian) makes this team DIFFERENT and 6’9 2027 Braedon Moton (@Braedonmoton5) is a name I’m going to be very LOUD about going forward 📈

Super Sophs 🪄

Eric Beard & Madden Hill are DUDES! Got my eyes on both of these prospects for the first time this season and they delivered.

Eric Beard (@ericbeard2028_) has such high IQ for his age. At 6’3 with yes, a college level frame, the 2028 showcased a blend of getting down hill and shot making. Watching him move without the ball + the timing and pace in which he played was so fun to watch. He was dialed!

Madden Hill (@MaddenHill_1) is SPECIAL. His approach to the game is the first thing that stands out. You can’t rattle him. It doesn’t matter if you throw double teams at him or if he hasn’t gotten a touch in a few possessions. He is all business, all the time. The scoring consistency and explosion is something I haven’t seen out of a guard his age and his size in a long time!

Names With Game 🏀

Jacari Irvin - Fort Bend Marshall (@2turntCari4) of FB Hightower at 6’5 he has a frame that can really punish you so it was awesome to see him not press to much to get to the rim. He was getting to his spots. High level showing!

KD Layton - Cy Woods (@Kdwitdathree) He was a game changer on both ends of the floor. He’s a nightmare in passing lanes and he just presents a calming aspect for CY Woods when they need to execute and win!

SJ Young - Willis (@Syoung042) Length was showcased in the game I saw. Great slasher with the ball in his hand and this Willis team is so fun in transition, where at 6’4, he really excels.

Caiden Guillory - CE KING (@BentleyCaiden10) He took over the game I watched. He’s stronger than you and he’s going to let you know it. LOUD and 1’s to close a game where Paetow was loving every second of it. Very fun and supportive bench cheering on Guillory down with the big plays down the stretch!

Johnathan Gafford Jr - Conroe (@Easymoneybxcket) A nice athlete that has a real understanding on how to play the game. Really good feet and ball skills insides makes him a problem to defend!

Yanni Ibikunle - Randle (@_justyanni) Is so versatile for his size. Saw him guarding multiple positions and his motor is one that many can’t keep up with. A super tough prospect, and with the intangibles he brings, he’s an easy sell to college coaches!

Notable Performers ⭐️

Casey Small - Morton Ranch
Tyce Blodget - Katy Taylor
Bryce Jones - Jersey Village
Rondell Lewis - Willis
Kaiden White - CE King
Brody Thornton - George Ranch

6'2 2028 Eric "EJ" Beard Jr of Houston Heights (TX)/@houdefenders has been one of best PG's at @Trigonis30 @FCPPangos All South Frosh/Soph Camp. Productive PG who is automatic with pull-up and is capable of playing either backcourt spot when needed on both ends.

[Marcus Sloan @bigsloan32]

‘28 G 6’3 EJ Beard (Heights HS) might be the best pure scorer in his class. Reminds me a lot of Bryson Howard. #OTRFallShootout

The 11th ranked ‘28 in the @ExposureOtr Houston rankings, Eric Beard Jr, (Heights HS) once again shows why he’s one of the better perimeter players. Physical scorer that attacks the rim.

Also ‘28 PG Landon Horton (Clear Falls HS) really has command, & can get any defender. @ExposureOtr #TheWarmUp

First & foremost I would like to thank God, my parents, & my Coaches for all the guidance & support. I am blessed to announce, after a great conversation with Coach Shaw, I have received my first Division 1 offer from Texas A&M Corpus Christi..
