We will have first through third teams for the 17U, 16U and 15U age brackets. Determinations are based on reports of coaches, statistics where available, and action seen live. These teams are not meant to be indicative of a player’s overall potential or past performance, but rather the way they played during this condensed window of the 2015 summer. Therefore, players who played during all three evaluation periods had an edge over others who missed time.
D’Shawn Schwartz, guard/forward, Colorado Miners: Schwartz, described as a point-forward by his coach JJ Brimble, kept his reputation as a big-time offensive threat alive with some dominant performances. The 6-foot-6 wing has tremendous skills.
Corey Seng, guard, Colorado Chaos: Seng was a relentless defender on the perimeter with his long arms and footwork and displayed an ability to knock down shots. He looks to be a rising star into the high school season with one of the state’s best programs, ThunderRidge.
Calvin Fugett, guard, Colorado Hawks: The point guard received his first Division I offer from the University of Montana in July and came through big at the Las Vegas Live for a Hawks team that finished as the runner-up. The high-academic prospect is extremely fast and tough on defense.
Matt Johnson, guard, Colorado Connect: Johnson poured in 21 points per game and was a floor general for a successful team. If you don’t know his name by now, you are one of the few.
Jalen Sanders, guard/forward, Billups Elite: The wing from Valor Christian also nabbed his first offer from the Air Force Academy. He helped lead Billups to the Elite 8 of the Adidas Uprising Summer Championships in Las Vegas and was an effective scorer throughout July.
Jamison Washington, guard, Colorado Chaos: Bouncing back from a hip injury in the spring, Washington showed why he has a chance at being a Division I recruit with an excellent summer for Chaos as a speedy player with a knack for creating for himself and his teammates.
Brevin Brimble, guard, Colorado Miners: Surrounded by high-scoring wings, Brimble was the consummate leader on the court. He’s one of the smartest players in his class.
Sam Grad, forward, Colorado Titans: The 6-foot-6 forward, a standout in the classroom at Fairview, shined at the Big One Tournament in Anaheim and was named a top prospect at the tournament by Hoop Review. He has a growing all-around game.
Joe Abiakam, guard, Colorado Premier: The point guard has always been able to attack the rim and his ranginess allowed him to guard at a high level.
Malik Salley, guard/forward, Colorado Miners: The wing helped guide the Miners to the quarterfinals of the Great American Shootout. The 6-foot-3 player, with leaping ability and the heart of a lion, was willing and able to defend any and all players.
