Aidan Von Buchwaldt 6’5 PF 509 Elite 2021 – AVB got off to a good start on the day. The stretch 5 came out strapping knocking down several 3’s in the first game he played. A high academic guy, Buchwaldt sports a 3.9 GPA and has received some interest from several high academic D3 schools.
AJ Burgin AJ Burgin 6'3" | CG San Diego | 2021 State CA-S 6’3 CG Gamepoint Elite 2021 (featured image) (#24PHSC) – The newly minted Idaho St commit was pretty dominant on the day. It’s difficult to decide where he was more effective. Was it his ability to get to the lane with ease or his knocked down shooting? He made his first 5 3’s on the day.
Alex Crawford Alex Crawford 6'6" | SF Eastlake | 2021 State CA-S 6’7 PF Coastal Elite 2021 (#83) – Crawford was a bouncy pogo stick. He showed just enough ball skills to envision him as a 3 man at the next level. Crawford currently holds offers from TCU, Alabama and San Diego.
Devon Arlington Devon Arlington 6'3" | PG San Marcos | 2022 State CA-S 6’3 PG San Marcos 2022 (#12PHSC) – Arlington showed once again why he is one of the top 2022 guards on the west coast. He does an excellent job of using his frame to shed defenders, freeing himself for open shots. He wraps that skill around terrific vision, passing and handling. He really elevated himself today. Another high academic guy, Arlington has some IVY league interest to go along with Oregon St, Colorado St and New Mexico.
Jorgen Odfjell 6’6 SF Supreme Court 2021 – Odfjell has been on this continent for less then a month. In that time, he has already had a big impact. “Baby Luka” is a highly skilled point forward who’s game resembles the Mavs star with his shooting, handle and sneaky athletic ability. The Norwegian import opened a lot of eyes on the day.
Noah Haaland 6’8 PF 509 Elite 2021 – Haaland was one of the best in traffic rebounders on the day. He played with a high motor, showed good footwork, the ability to finish through contact as well as the ability to step out and knock down 3’s.
Donavan Dent 6’2 CG Prime Elite 2022 – Dent was one of the most impressive players on the day. He played with a terrific pace, showing the ability to stop and start on a dime. He was also one of the best two way players on the day, getting a ton of steals both on ball and while playing the passing lanes.
