Our schedule for April is stacked starting this weekend with the first session of The Hundred!
Get plugged in with us this month! You'll want these events on your schedule!
The buzz in the gym is different when Ace Bailey is playing. Five-star forward has a big time it-factor to him. He made some incredible plays and finished with a 30-piece against Wood Elite & was fantastic getting to the rim and finishing.
The winner of the Most Valuable Player in our 17U division is...Josh Nickelberry (Game Elite Gold)! The 4-star guard/Louisville commit hit the game-winning 3 in the championship to knock off the Atlanta Xpress. Doesn't get more VALUABLE than that.

Early candidate for defensive play of the year.
Kell 2024 guard CJ Brown (
@CorBrown02
) saved the game at the end of regulation with this unbelievable athletic play.

@kell_hoops
"Kaleb Banks is one of the more naturally gifted prospects in the class. He can score from all three levels in a variety of ways and possesses great size, length, and athleticism. Indiana is getting a good one here." -
@RivalsDan
Georgetown signee Ryan Mutombo makes his presence felt on both ends for Lovett.
He's a game changer on the defensive side and his offensive game has come a long way. A 29-point game in a win over Therrell shows that development.
Anthony Edwards, the No. 1 player in the country from right here in GA, will be announcing his college decision on Monday (Feb 11th) morning at 9 AM! He'll be choosing from FSU, UGA, Kentucky and UNC. "Ant Man" was the Most Outstanding Player at our inaugural
#BattleForGeorgia
!
Fayette County senior forward and Indiana signee Kaleb Banks is no stranger to putting up big numbers. He scored 32 points tonight in a win over Luella, including knocking down five triples as well as showing his athleticism around the rim.
Kell 2024 center & Auburn commit Peyton Marshall is one of the most unique players in the state.
He’s looked purely unstoppable on so many occasions this season, propelling Kell’s success. He’s been named POY in Region 6-5A.
After evaluating him on the
#RYZETipOff
live stream this weekend,
#UGA
head coach Tom Crean called 2022 forward Aidan Hadaway (

) earlier today. Expect him to be a stock riser over the next few months.
🚨News Alert 🚨
We will be hosting the LakePoint Hoops Live Showcase on July 10-12 at the Champions Center for a limited number of 15U-17U teams.
All Games will be streamed live & rosters will be made available for college coaches to evaluate prospects.
Jabari Smith will be signing with
#Auburn
during the early signing period.
Our staff has really enjoyed watching Jabari grow from an under the radar rising sophomore at the 2018
#BattleForGeorgia
to a consensus top 5 prospect in the 2021 class.
Add Virginia to the offer list for 2019 guard Chase Hunter. They join Georgia, Houston, Oklahoma, Providence, Saint Louis, Tulane and Wake Forest in offering the 6'3 guard since he starred at
#BattleForGeorgia
on July 8th. Congrats, Chase!

Riverwood & Georgia Stars 2024 guard Karris Bilal has committed to Vanderbilt.
One of the Peach State's best scorers, Bilal has given Jerry Stackhouse and the Commodores staff his commitment after a visit a couple weeks ago.
Pro One 2024 PG & Creighton commit Ty Davis had a good showing in a win over SOH Elite. Scored 16 points, shot it well from three, and as always controlled the game and made plays off the dribble.
Team Curry 2024 guard/wing Sir Mohammed is as versatile as they come. Plays all over the floor at an athletic 6-foot-6, very skilled, great feel. He checks a ton of boxes and will be a name you hear a lot of moving forward. Son of former Kentucky star & NBA vet Nazr Mohammed.
If you are planning to attend the
#LPLiveShowcase
this weekend at the Champions Center, you will be REQUIRED to wear a face mask at ALL TIMES (unless you are a player, coach or official during a game).
Georgia Tech fans are going to love Blue Cain when he gets to North Ave. He’s an athletic scorer, but it’s everything else he does that makes him a big time standout. Very good passer and rebounds well from the backcourt. Jackets are getting a good one.
Pebblebrook came away with a HUGE region win over McEachern tonight.
The win largely came on the back of Danny Stubbs who went for 40. The Georgia State signee turned in one of the performances of the year so far.
Team Georgia Magic 2021 wing Travis Harper is easily one of the most under-recruited players right now in Georgia. 6-foot-6 wing is long & athletic and can score the ball from every level.
Need a sleeper in Georgia’s 2021 class? Our staff thinks Omarion Smith could be one. The 6-foot-5 forward is long with a strong build, plays with a high motor, and is an elite level rebounder.
It’s pretty easy to see why Centerville (OH) 2023 PG is such a highly regarded prospect in the Midwest. He does so much to impact the game and is a knock down shooter from three. Dayton, Ohio State, & Xavier among those that have offered in the last two weeks.
@Elk_Basketball
Caleb Mills, one of the stars at the UA Challenge last month at
@lakepointindoor
, committed to Houston this morning! Caleb received offers from Auburn, Clemson, FSU, GT, Marquette, Miss St, Pitt, Providence, Tenn, Wake Forest & Xavier. Congrats, Caleb!

#gocoogs
Etowah 2023 PG Brandon Rechsteiner has committed to Virginia Tech.
He becomes the first commitment for Virginia Tech’s 2023 class, and the Hokies’ staff have made him a big priority over the past two months.
Centerville (OH) 2022 wing Tom House shot the lights out in a win over Grayson. Shooter with size at 6-foot-6, scored 18 points and knocked down four threes.
Brandon Rechsteiner is the most popular recruit in the southeast right now and becoming a priority recruit for HM programs in recent weeks.
NEW OFFERS: LSU, Tennessee, Miami, Wichita State, Clemson, App State, Virginia Tech, Dayton, GT, N’western, KState

@CarterTuck
: “Myles Rice has all of the qualities you look for in a modern day collegiate guard. He picks his spots well, is aggressive looking for his offense, and scores it really well. He’ll be a really productive guy at the next level.”
Don't be surprised if Stephon Castle (
@StephonCastle
) to UConn ends up being one of the most important signings nationally. The Newton/Atlanta Xpress guard plays with a chip on his shoulder and has all the skills & physical tools to be an impact guy right away in the Big East.
Good luck to Cartersville native Ashton Hagans as he starts his college basketball career with

Wheeler 2023 five-star PG Isaiah Collier will be on campus in Ann Arbor for an official visit to Michigan starting tomorrow.
The Wolverines are in Collier's final four schools, which includes Michigan, USC, UCLA, and Cincinnati.
The winner of the Most Outstanding Player in our 16U division is...KD Johnson (Game Elite Black/SW Dekalb HS)! The 6'1 guard started the day with a 39-point outing against ATL Hoops and never let up. He received his first high-major offer Sunday night after the
#BattleForGeorgia
.
AC Georgia wing Rashad King has had a nice travel season. Physical 6-foot-5 August product should be on a lot of college radars. Scored 18 points in a win this morning and did it from all three levels.
Sixty!?!
First Presbyterian Day senior guard Jordan Jones absolutely went off tonight. He knocked down 13 threes en route to a 60-point performance.
What a night!
Jalen Forrest went for 33 points in a comeback win over AOT. He was able to play physically and find his way to the rim where he finished efficiently and got himself to the line. He was very impressive down the stretch.
It’s easy to see why so many college programs are already seeking Team Forrest 2023 PG Alex Odam. Really strong with the ball, always seems to make the right reads. Mercer offered this week, joining UAB & Jacksonville State.
Pace Academy senior wing/forward & Cincinnati signee Josh Reed nearly messed around and went for a triple double tonight in a win over South Atlanta.
Future Bearcat has been on a tear to start the season for the Knights.

, who is also a really talented basketball player.
Adairsville 2025 CG Tre Winters stole the show to open our Fall League. Made a statement with 28 points, doing it in a variety of ways. Versatile, athletic 6-foot-4 guard. Big time sleeper in Georgia’s 2025 class.
Congrats to Dwon Odom (
@dwonodom1

Adairsville 2025 guard Tre Winters (
@TreWinters1
) is one of the most athletic players you’ll find in the Peach in 2025. When he gets to the rim, he’s so tough to stop and his physical abilities always stand out when he’s on the floor.

The RYZE Live Showcase I has come & gone, and so many talented players continue to leave their mark on the 2021 travel season on our stage.
Here is RYZE Live Showcase I Super Six, all of whom separated themselves & shined brightly with us this weekend:
You never know who’s going to be in the gym any given weekend.
It’s been fun to have Kenny Smith here coaching TSF EYBL 2026. The Jet has a squad, too!!
The best scoring performance of the weekend goes to Atlanta Timberwolves 2024 PG Luke Flynn, who went for a 44-piece on 14 threes in a win over Anthony Morrow Elite. He went unconscious from deep in the second half, and didn’t miss a shot down the stretch.
We're excited to have the

, and they'll be back in town visiting him at Norcross HS today. BJ is one of the top prospects in the country and has a scholarship offer from the Blue Devils!
JD Davison capped off the day with a 34 point performance and looked unstoppable getting to the rim and scoring. His bounce creates a special kind of buzz in the gym.
2022 wing Jalal McKie (
@JalalMckie__
) averaged 16.8 points per game this weekend at the
#RYZETipOff
against four of the best teams in Georgia.
Following the event, he received a call from the App State coaching staff after they evaluated him on the live stream.
Athens Academy 2024 PG Kymel Williams has been one of the best overall performers here this weekend so far. Went for 32 points this morning in a win over Cherokee Bluff. Tough, savvy lead guard that scores, distributes, defends. Really good prospect in the Peach in 2024.
Liberty is getting a great fit in 2021 Pro One guard Brody Peebles. He’s a dynamic scorer who plays with a high IQ and a fiery competitiveness. He should help the Flames remain a MidMajor threat in the coming years.
Kell junior guard Scoot Henderson put together one of the top scoring performances of the year in the Peach and WENT OFF for a 53-piece against Osborne.
When he's cooking, he's nearly impossible to stop.
Kell 2024 PG CJ Brown (
@CorBrown02
) turned in one of the more impressive performances of the night, going for 21 in a win over North Broward Prep (FL). Scored it well off the bounce, made shots off the dribble, found teammates for opportunities, defended at a high level.
East Paulding senior guard/wing Sebastian Tidor went crazy in an overtime win over Carrollton. He finished with 40 points, 17 boards, and 6 blocks. He's a very versatile, high motor player and has been very productive for East this season.
Hiram (GA) 2023 guard Jay Boyd (
@JayBoyd2023
) might have turned in the best overall performance of the morning, going for 32 in a win over N. Broward Prep (FL). High energy, two-way guard that can hit shots, attack the paint, and play with speed & athleticism.
Atlanta Timberwolves guard Jax Bouknight was terrific this afternoon against Team Curry. Absolutely fearless and plays with an insane speed and quickness. Finished the game with 24 points.
16U
#LPLDC
Championship:
Georgia Legacy 64
Pro One 57
Dylan Wolle capped off a great weekend with 17 points with Trent Jackson scoring 13, and JaQuez Thornton & Kyle Keener with 9 apiece. Calen Lightford was great down the stretch for Pro One & finished with 21.
The 3rd 17U quarterfinal matchup in the inaugural

"I really believe Josh Reed is going to be a heckuva player for Cincinnati as they transition into the Big 12. He has great size, versatility, and skill at 6-foot-7. It's been fun watching his growth over the last few years." -
