Louisiana Top Team Results: 2nd July Live Period (16u)
16u
Louisiana Elite (3-1)
Orlando Hoops Festival (Orlando, FL)
Louisiana Elite went 3-1 including 2 games over 17u programs while in Orlando, and the first game they won against CP25(Adidas) was the game of the day, as they took it 67-65. The fact that LA Elite only brought 7 players to Orlando was all the more impressive, as Will Wade of LSU took in all of their games this weekend, as well as coaches from FSU, UAB, Clemson, UCF, and FGCU.
NOLA23 (6-0)
Great American Shootout (Dallas, TX)
NOLA23 put on one of the most impressive performances of the weekend, running the table on the way to a championship. Their size and skill proved to be too much, and 6’7 G Jourdan Smith continued to be a matchup nightmare for everyone they played against. They were able to play in front of a bunch of college coaches, and I expect a bunch of players on the team to continue to rack up scholarship offers.
Louisiana Select Team Milsaps (3-1)
Great American Shootout (Dallas TX)
Team Milsaps went 3-0 in pool play, but dropped their first game in bracket play. Overall, it was still a really good showing for the 16u team from the north, and Jacoby Decker had multiple 20+ point performances. I expect his recruitment to really take off after the summer he has had, and for him to pick up some offers pretty soon.
6th Man (2-2)
Great American Shootout (Dallas, TX)
Despite not having a ton of talent on this team, they played very well as a collective, and were able to put on a respectable performance. 6’5 F Donald Calais of Cecilia had a pretty good weekend overall and was a tough matchup, and 5’8 G Seth Alexander of Breaux Bridge was hitting from DEEP all weekend long.
LA United Dynasty (0-3)
Great American Shootout (Dallas, TX)
Despite not having the win count that I’m sure LA United Dynasty wish they did, they were in every game that they played, and were competing with tough teams despite playing up. 2019 6’4 G Jahein Spencer is one of the top players of 2019, and is very tough to guard.
