This kid showed another gear since we last saw him play in March. he was getting up and down the floor rim running and he was either rewarded or positioned himself nicely for a put back. Defensively he moves his feet and he was showing that he can get lateral against shifty SF or guards. Strong presence inside on both ends that allows his teammates to get open looks and lanes to drive.

Talk about a high IQ guard that knows how to use his lanes and angles all over the floor. He controls the tempo and has his vision up which makes him elite. This kid is a LM kid that should be looked at. He is shifty and he can shoot the rock. Defensively he was tough as nails against other guards as he gets low and beats the offense to the spot.

High motor and downhill drives really made this kid pop in Day 1. Kayden was getting in the lanes and finishing through contact and no call fouls. Spot up deep game is nice and he can hit off the bounce. He is a young player to track in the 2025 class out in Texas.
6’0 PG Quientin Meza || Utah Prospects 3SSB || 2023 ||
Motor is sneaky as he is just working all game long and he does not take any plays off. He defends his tail off and he can hit tough shots, especially those long three’s. He uses all 6’0 of his height to defend and he is effective.
6’10 C Jazz Gardner Jazz Gardner 7'0" | C Los Altos | 2023 State #85 Nation CA-S || Dream Vision 3SSB || 2023 ||
Still wet around the ears which means he still has not hit his ceiling. Nice right handed hook and with some time he could really be a force with a soft touch and good hands. Really showed some promise in Day 1.

The surprise dude of the day. This kid was on another level and he has that extra gear as he posterized a few guys in one game. By the looks of him he caught everyone in the gym off guard besides his team and coach. He has a step that gets him by defenders and he is strong so he can body check guys off of him. You have to play up because the dude has a strap too. This kid plays at a high level on both ends of the floor. Do not be surprised if he blows up after this weekend.
