📈 Lazavion “Zay” Kelley continues to elevate his game.

The 2029 PG stuffed the stat sheet this past weekend with 21 PTS, 7 STL & 3 AST. Impacting both ends of the floor, applying pressure defensively, and continuing to grow.

Keep an eye on this one. 👀🔥

2027 6’4” Wing Orlando Edwards is starting to see his recruitment pick up 📈👀

Athletic, plays through contact, gets to his spots and competes on both ends. Orlando is NICE — college coaches need to tap in. 🎯

Sophomore 2029 PG Lazavion “Zay” Kelley is up next in the city. 🎯 Young guard with a great outside shot (NBA Range) —plays with confidence and isn’t afraid of the moment. 📈🔥

[Danny @DannyRuffin5]

Proud to announce I have received my first official collegiate offer from Graceland University! Thank you to Coach Colston and Coach Dickman!

[Coach AR @ARelite_]

2027 Orlando Edwards is setting the tone early. 🔥

Back-to-back 18+ point performances to open AR Elite Fall Ball. The athletic Aurora guard consistently gets to his spots in the midrange, attacks downhill, and finishes through contact at the rim.
