National Prep Showcase - Friday Blog
NERR scout Jared Exler was on hand at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, CT for the annual National Prep Showcase.
In case you missed any of the action, here is a rundown from him on some of the Friday standouts.
Northwestern commit & @PSAhoops forward Blake Barkley stood out last game set. He makes physical straight line drives with his well built frame, is a good off ball cutter, and can score when taking smaller defenders into the post. pic.twitter.com/kT17YNy8Yk

2023 @FUMAPGbball wing Carmelo Pacheco impressed from long-range last game set draining four triples. He can hit three-pointers off the catch or on side-step attempts when defenders close out too hard. pic.twitter.com/KVfmeKZKx6

Indiana State commit & @HargravePGBB forward Jaden Daughtry went off for 28 points in a win. He showed comfort hitting standstill treys, finished well with his power/explosiveness, while also getting after it on the defensive glass. pic.twitter.com/K52nXZOUDg

2023 @StThomasMoreBB forward Mirko Bramanti caught my eye last game set. He has soft touch when flashing to the mid-post, a solid frame finishing through contact, while also showing good awareness moving without the ball. pic.twitter.com/4vgO0qk2Qs

UMass looks to be getting a good one in @SocalAcad & @TeamMe7oEYBL wing Robert Davis Jr. He can make pull-up/spot-up three-pointers, back door cuts when opponents overplay him, and impact a game defensively with his competitiveness/length. pic.twitter.com/CtwYKbn132

Look forward to tracking 2025 @NHSHuskySports & @TheCityRocks guard Keyshuan Tillery. He is quick off the bounce, needs to be accounted for from long-range, and has good leaping ability in space. pic.twitter.com/HK18upd7rX

2025 @VermontAcadHoop & @thebabc wing Joson Sanon showcased his smooth three-level scoring ability last game set dropping 22 points. He hit treys off the catch, stopped & popped for fifteen foot jumpers, and finished layups using either hand. pic.twitter.com/gPf8bdtz3v

Tennessee commit & @BrewsterHoops big man JP Estrella stood out last game set. He hit threes triples on a mix of standstill/off fade screen attempts, crashed the glass hard for put-backs, and walled up well altering opponents layups. pic.twitter.com/GxR2KKhlYc

Took note of St. Francis (PA) commit & @PerkBasketball forward Bobby Rosenberger last game set. He makes spot-up treys at a solid rate, can take contact with his sturdy frame, and has toughness diving on the floor for loose balls/putting his body on the line to draw charges. pic.twitter.com/nJ7AXKbx15

2023 @GraybeeHoops & @PSACardinals forward Spencer Mahoney impressed me last game set with how well he played within the flow of his team’s offense. He hit four spot-up three-pointers as well as one mid-range pull-up when attacking a closeout. pic.twitter.com/KnjMqoHTBM

2023 @IMGAcademy forward Eric Dailey Jr stood out in a win with his change of direction moves creating one on one, free throw/mid-range shooting touch, and vision finding open teammates with cross court passes. pic.twitter.com/eOHiV8sbvk
