Was at that game, man the atmosphere was electric
Beebe played at WIU when I lived in Macomb. When his position coach became head coach at Chadron State he transferred there. He had elite speed.
Brandon's Breakdown: What I liked from Sunday at Pangos All-American Camp
THE POTENTIAL OF KEL'EL WARE... The potential of Kel'el Ware is beyond enormous. Factor in his length, touch, and overall feel for how to play the game, and the output is a five-star caliber prospect who has tools to play at the highest levels of the sport if he stays on the right track. Ware is fresh off of his first visit to Arkansas and is due to make appearances on the campuses of Illinois, Oregon, and Texas soon.
WHAT JALEN HOOKS BROUGHT TO THE TABLE
... Speaking of June 15th, Jalen Hooks should expect his phone to be continuously buzzing that day. He is not the most athletic prospect in the national 2023 class, but he has the ideal length and shooting touch that will intrigue college coaches once they are back in the gym. Butler, DePaul, Illinois, IUPUI, LSU, and Xavier have already extended offers and more should soon come his way.

2021 NY2LA LONE STAR INVITATIONAL - 17U TOP PERFORMERS
Anthony Black – 2022 – G – 3D Empire
Black is an incredibly high-level prospect as a 6’7” guard with a great skill set plus his athleticism. He is a true do it all player with his combination of size and skill. He moves well with the ball to score the ball exceptionally well going to the basket and is a tremendous finisher with his length but can also shoot it off the dribble. Black is a high IQ player that can also defend nearly anyone on the floor well. Easy to see why he is one of the more sought after 2022 guards in the nation.

2021 NY2LA LONE STAR INVITATIONAL - 17U ONES TO WATCH
Trey Pettigrew – 2022 – G – Mac Irvin Fire
Pettigrew is an exceptionally skilled playmaking point guard. He has strong handle with the ball plus good moves off the dribble. The junior scores it well in a variety of ways but can also distribute it out. He has a great ability to get to the basket but can also create his own shot and hit them from the perimeter.

2023 6’10 Owen Freeman – Mid-Pro Academy 16U NY2LA
Owen Freeman was dominant over the weekend as part of a loaded Midpro Academy 16U group, helping lead them to an undefeated record at the Lone Star Classic. At 6’10 he controlled the paint on both ends of the floor - blocking shots, finishing at the rim and grabbing boards. Freeman has great hands and footwork around the basket, the athleticism to play above the rim and knocked down a couple jumpers to add to a very impressive performance. Already holding an early offer from Illinois, look for Freeman to be a hot commodity at the high major level over the next year.
2022 6’3 Seth Trimble - Phenom University 17U EYBL
Seth Trimble put together yet another good weekend for Phenom University. He controls the game from the Point Guard position, getting his team into sets, knowing when to look for his own offense and when to get his teammates involved. He is able to finish at the rim through contact with great body control, footwork and explosive leaping ability. Trimble has shown major improvement in consistency with his jumper and elevated for some midrange jumpers that will absolutely translate to higher levels of basketball. Trimble recently added offers from North Carolina and Michigan and is trending towards a potential 5 star recruit when rankings are updated.
2022 7’0 Kel’el Ware - All Arkansas Red 17U
Kel’el Ware was the best rim protector in Dallas over the weekend. A legit 7 footer, Ware has a huge wingspan and good timing defensively to block and alter shots in the paint. He has a quick second jump and did a good job of controlling the glass on both ends of the floor. Ware also flashed the ability to stretch the floor offensively, knocking down a smooth three from the top of the key. As he continues to polish his offensive game, Ware has a chance to be a major contributor at the high major level.

No mention of Storr's performance. Same forJJ Taylor. AJ Casey opted out of camp due to either injury or other conflict.
Very nice. Now he just needs to move it to somewhere where he can use it everyday. I don't miss Illinois weather!

IIRC Jimmy Chitwood practiced on an uneven dirt surface using an underinflated ball that barely bounced. That's Midwestern basketball, my friend!

I appreciate the posts illininut. Would you be willing to include the recruits name and possibly even year/position in the posts? The recruits name is the one that would help me the most.

I thought about doing what 75 said. But I'll have to decline. Most of my posts have the players name and size. But 75...if the post doesn't I'll add it at the top or bottom. Sometimes I even get on Youtube and look a video of the player to add.

Thanks! For folks who use screen readers due to low vision/blindness, writing the names or other basic info is really helpful vs going to the linked tweet. Twitter is not super accessible and doesn't play well with screen readers.
