5* basketball in California:

1. Tyran Stokes (#1 2026) turn & face, clear space, drive to jump stop to finish —> power skill player

2. Brayden Burries (2025 5* turns 20 in Sept) w/clean change of direction to quick burst to smooth, effortless offhand dunker

Basketball’s great

Very much enjoying the Bangot Dak (6-11 2023 turns 20 in a month) experience.
Well enough on the short roll here, but stays engaged with those thin pogo stick legs crashing hard with audacity.

Fletcher Loyer is light work for Danny Wolf but this is still some next shit from Wolf on the cross to drive, bounce off contact to wrong footed finish at speed.

The balance and pace on this break from Kasparas Jakucionis (future lotto pick) is ridiculous. Total control.

CJ Ingram’s (6-6 4* 2025 Gator commit turns 18 in august) feel, body control, processing, athleticism all been impressive at #hoophall.

Slick attacking mismatch w/dump off here then ++fluidity on the react to catch & finish.

Be happy #gatornation

Have been a Miikka Muurrinen (6-11 2026 5* turns 18 in March; potential reclass) fan for a bit but finding his lack of physicality bit frustrating early on here and then he creates this magnificent sequence out of thin air.

Jeremiah Fears (big younger brother, 18 in OCT) keeps doing few things really well:

- accelerates hard out of screen - force D to commit
- fluid as all hell cutting/changing direction w/ball, sudden and smooth - force hard charging help to shift
- takes advantageous angles

Constant pressure from Ben Saraf (6-5 or so, turns 19 in April, 2025 draft eligible) and freezing defender for the1.
Showing good strength for age consistently blowing by defender arm tackles finishing thru contact.

Nothing elaborate here from young Kingston Flemings but running things on his own terms. Shrugs off the pressure, creates advantage, makes the read.
No need for exertion. #kingstonflemings

Kasparas Jakucionis (pride of Lithuania, turns 19 in May) crafty as shit throwing the dribble ahead while making the splitting long stride.

Good lord young Dylan Harper has a whole ass arsenal for a kid who doesn’t turn 19 until March: horizontal burst, strong as hell, tight handle, reads/processes on the move.
