Peach State: Day 3 Notebook

By Robert Alfonso Jr.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Team had made a strong push after three days of basketball. Some of them took advantage of the stage by putting together impressive performances on Day 3 of Peach State.

1 of 1

Addison Archer (2023) can help a college program in the near future. The 6-foot-8 forward is full of energy. He runs the floor and seems to grab every rebound anywhere possible. This is a skill many players lack, while Archer has mastered. The Chase High product has a soft touch around the rim and from outside the paint.

Derin Saran (2023) knows how to run the point. The Turkish native plays within himself and with good pace for the Charlotte-based ball club. His court vision gets teammates into excellent scoring position. Asheville School has themselves a good one for another year. 

Run The Citi

Jason Asemota (2024) is a long shifty guard who knows how to get into his shot. He has good court vision.There is no mistake on why many have inquired about the 6-foot-8 prospect from Boston. He attends Hillcrest Prep in Arizona so college programs from both coasts and anywhere in the middle will soon be on his trail.

Tyrese Melo Garcia (2023) has a smooth game. This guard handles the ball with tremendous poise. The Lynn English High product has a good looking shot and release.

I Can All-Stars

Zyier Beverly (2023) came to the South and showed exactly why so many on the West Coast know him by name. This 6-foot-8 wing looked fluid with the ball in his hand. He can shoot it, get to the rim, and finish in any way possible. His length is a problem for many players guarding or looking to get at him. The Washington Prep product recently picked up offers from New Mexico State and Nevada. 

Max Levels Elite

Tyler Ringgold (2023) woke everyone up in the morning session. He scored at easy getting to the rim before taking off on one possession dunking on a player. The Southern Lab product is aggressive on either end of the floor. He can shoot the ball but is great at getting into the lane finishing with contact. His 20 point performance allowed him to showcase all his abilities.

Jeremiah Johnson (2023) was locked in on both ends for the Louisiana based program. He is full of energy and does not shy away from doing the things necessary to win. His offensive contribution is timely. The Wasatch Academy product will win you plenty of games because of his desire to persevere.

Norcross Heat

Keishawn Hampton (2023) has had a great summer. The floor general has always been able tot fill-up the stat sheet. He has been on a roll and continues to develop with every possession. The Collins Hill product will flourish in a new uniform this upcoming season.

Cade Simmons (2023) provides the Georgia based with some extra firepower from the perimeter. The Gainesville High product can get his shot off and fill it up in rapid fashion. This lefty knocked down three 3-pointers consistently in every game.

MEBO

Connor Rogers (2023) is a compact floor general with plenty of personality. He runs the Mississippi based program with confidence. His game is to get to the rim and punish defenders. This Starkville High product scored 18 points with an array of different finishes.

Backcourt teammate Malik Franklin is a wiry and full of energy guard, which is a compliment to Rogers. He is productive from the opening tip and doesn’t let up. This Vicksburg High product finished with 18 points in the teams victory.

Team Tatum

Khayri Dunn (2024) knows exactly what to do with the basketball. He understands how to score it in bunches. His first step is quick and calculated. The Rockdale High product gets to the rim and has a smooth release on the jumper. There are moments you don’t realize the game he has had because Dunn is always locked in on the teams success.

Judah Nation

Blaise Wallace (2023) has created nothing but problems for many players. At 6-foot-7, the MaClay School product plays off of two feet. This allows him to be balanced while absorbing the contact. He then can put pressure on defenses by extending the floor outside the paint. His range extends to beyond the three-point line. He can handle the ball getting to the basket every chance possible. College programs need to look into this prospect who is fundamentally sound and athletic enough to make an impact.

Harris Jackson (2024) is a complete problem on the hardwood. The 6-foot-6 wing lets the game come to him. He surveys the floor attacks the defensive weakness. This played out well for the Brewster Academy product as teams struggle to contain him. 

Gabriel Fajardo (2023) can help a program at the next level in a variety of ways. The 6-foot-point guard does a good job running a team. He puts guys in solid scoring opportunities. Whenever he is not facilitating the team, the Mater Lakes High prospect can provide his own scoring opportunities. He has a textbook jumper and a finishing package through traffic.
