Over 100 college coaches were on hand for the premier of The Main Floor presented by Snoop Johnson Basketball and Stacy Houston. College coaches packed the bleachers and D1 prospects packed the court as this was the first grassroots event ever in Texas with a regulation shot clock.
Tyrese Maxey Showing 5 Star Status
2019 Tyrese Maxey put up a dynamite performance in RM5’s victory vs Dallas Showtyme with 15 pts in the first half. The South Garland guard scored off the bounce efficiently and his ability to stop on a dime to go with his smooth perimeter stroke was on full display Thursday. Maxey, who is coming off a strong string of performances at Nike Peach Jam, verified his 5 star label to the TBB staff at The Main Floor.
2020 Caleb Lohner receives BYU Offer
Lohner’s scoring ability is apparent when watching him play but the staff likes that he is skilled and plays with a high motor. In a premier night game vs Blue Star Shooters, Lohner led his team in scoring with 16 points and was active on the glass. The 6’6 forward received his first offer from West Coast Conference program BYU last night and the 2020 F has shown the potential all spring of being a HM prospect.
YIIS Follows Adidas Gauntlet Championship With Strong Showing at The Main Floor
The Yes 2 Success squad were clicking on all cylinders on Thursday as the backcourt play of 2018 Chris Mullins and Nigel Hawkins carried the scoring load with 36 pts combined (checkout our one on one with Nigel Hawkins Here)
2018 rim protector Ousmane Ndim made sure to secure the paint defensively and 2019 Charles Bassey in limited minutes showed his presence on both ends as he was tough on the glass and was finishing through contact.
Darthard showing D1 Translation
2018 Calvashawn Darthard has made the most with his opportunity this grassroots season as the guard for Dallas Showtyme has blended his ability to defend with a better feel as a facilitator and scorer off the dribble. Darthard at the Main Floor on Thursday was his team’s best decision maker with the ball and we didn’t see a drop in his intensity on defense with a bigger offensive load. He is emerging as a Division one prospect to our staff and is seeing a boost in his stock.
Milton, Archie Guide Urban DFW to Victory
The best game so far was the matchup between Nike ProSkills and Urban DFW as the contest went into overtime and was sealed by a game winning freethrow by 2018 Kaden Archie. Archie in the second half did a better job getting to his spots and attacking the gaps in the long zone ProSkills possesses. TBB top 35 2018 prospect Kennedy Milton orchestrated a strong performances as the set-up man from Lincoln High School made quick decisions with the ball in the open court and 20 ft out. When Archie and Milton are playing off each other and clicking, Urban DFW is tough to beat.
