2020 HS 713 Showcase
HOUSTON- Houston Dream’s director Trey Phillips brainstorm for the #713Showcase was a definite hit, especially for me since this has been a year when many players weren’t playing or for whatever reason weren’t playing where I could see them at events I attended so for the 2021 class especially, this was important because this graduating class will have an asterisk by it for a number of reasons but nevertheless, I’m glad I caught many I had seen and been watching for quite some time and what I saw from the players yet to play their first high school game, many for the absolute first time, it was a thrill, you can read about that on my blog
Here’s a quick eval on all of the high school ballers, I think I’ll do something on Prep Girls Hoops Texas as well and go a little more in-depth, so here ya go
