Can’t help but get George Pickens vibes both from his raw potential and untapped skillset but also his pose for the headshot — Pickens draft day vibe. – at Amaranth, Ontario
Immediate eye catcher during day #1 of the Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf Elite Camp was (2029) 6’5 David Kouadio of @TriCityBA Fluid athlete who passed the eye test with flying colours. Seeing him put the ball on the floor & stretch finish at the rim was impressive themapleminute.com/prospect-…

We still got the OG in the race though. Kelly O. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Bummed to see Shai & Lu go home, however it’s so refreshing to see the level of passion & emotion on display post game from Wemby. A 22-year old with an unmatched height advantage, killer instinct, discipline & elite skill — this is his league now, we could see a Brady type run.

We’re standing on this. 6’5 Isaiah Headley-Smith of @royalcrownball will be the steal of the year. Team Canada Experience ✅ State Champion ✅ Elite Athlete ✅ Interest from BC, Stonehill, Detroit Mercy… and more should be calling. Coaches, get involved before it’s too late.
(2026) 6’5 Isaiah Headley-Smith is one of the best unsigned 🇨🇦 prospects in the class — period. Last 4 games: 15 PTS 10 REB 31 PTS 5 REB 14 PTS 5 REB 19 PTS 7 REB Versatile, productive, college level frame & ready to impact winning right away. Coaches should be involved here

👀👀
A downhill nightmare for defenders — (2026) 6’5 Te’Ziah Marshall-Malcolm of Brampton City punishes the rim like it owes him money. He’s a box-checker, plays very aggressive on both sides of the floor. Threw down a violent hammer in the 1st quarter that nearly shut the gym down.

Coaches tap in — (2026) 6’2 Bailey Assembe of @cta_west plays tough, see’s the floor and can make shots from beyond the arc. Hard working young man.

Super high on Botembo!
Lincoln Prep is loaded with an extremely athletic roster, including 2027 Joseph Botembo who seems like he’s hit a growth spurt and is now 6’6 Key returners: 2027 6’6 G Alessandro Acosta-Reyes, 2026 6’6 W Dauntay Tonary

6’11 David Simon joins the Catamounts alongside PG Sean Blake who both played at @royalcrownball for their senior seasons, respectively. Now they didn’t play together but were both coached by @mikeoak23 — I think this will be a deadly one-two punch next season.
NEWS: 6’11 David Simon has announced he will be transferring to @UVMmbb per his Instagram page.

This type of energy is priceless. @FortErieMBB @chriskumu0
Chris Kumu of @FortErieMBB is unable to suit up today at the #NPSI due to a hip injury but he's making his presence felt from the bench. He's far and away the loudest player in the gym right now, cheering on his guys and encouraging them. Getting the "defence" chant going early.
