Hampton, Cobe Williams, Dante Headline Our Week in Review

The TBB staff made a routine stop at Ellis Davis Field House to watch Kimball and Cedar Hill as multiple state winning coach Snoop Johnson got inducted into the Kimball Walk of Honor. We made a pit stop to Irving to catch a nice guard matchup and we finished up in South Garland and Lancaster to catch a slew of big time matchups.

Cobe Williams, 2019 PG – Dallas Can Academy: Williams utilizes his quickness to get to the cup and against Universal Academy, was able to finish in traffic consistently. It was a blowout lost for Can Academy, but Williams produced and showed why he is a top 35 TBB prospect.

Jaylin Posey, 2020 PG – Universal Academy: Posey scores in high volumes and it doesn’t take long for him to connect on 6-8 points in a row. The staff is high on Posey as a prospect and can crawl up in the top 10 in the 2020 class. Posey has received interest from UT-Austin and Washington State per source.

RJ Hampton, 2020 PG – Little Elm: Hampton is one if not the best scorers in Texas regardless of class as he showed his ability to score from anywhere on the floor. Hampton orchestrated a very solid outing versus South Garland with 18 points and displayed playmaking abilities by racking up several assists in the process

Tyrese Maxey, 2019 PG – South Garland: Talking about top scorers in Texas period, Maxey is another guard prospect that contends for that title. Maxey produced 19 points against Little Elm and 27 vs Sunrise Christian. Maxey’s range goes way beyond the arc and showed a more attacking nature, getting into the paint and finishing.

Montre Gibson, 2018 PG – Waxahachie: Gibson is a steady guard that uses his body well to navigate and make plays. His ability to be smooth and efficient with the ball brings value to his Waxahachie squad and Montre is one of the better guards left on the board in the 2018 class.

Feron Hunt, 2018 CF – Desoto: Feron was flying on both ends of the floor and his motor and willingness to hunt for loose balls put Desoto in a position to win vs Whitney Young. Hunt notched a double-double on Saturday with 20 points, 10 rebounds.

Messiah Jones, 2018 PF – Chicago Simeon: Jones plays with a little bit of a mean streak and that was vital in Simeon’s win vs Waxahachie. He cleaned up on the glass, imposed his will from time to time on the block and that led him into conducting 23 points and 12 rebounds on Saturday.

N’Faly Dante, 2020 C – Sunrise Christian: Dante has the physical makeup of a high major big man and recorded a double double Saturday against South Garland with 10 points, 10 rebounds. Dante moves fluid up and down the court and his athleticism is of top notch as well.

Cole Williams, 2019 CG – Kimball: Williams second half performance was key in Kimball’s win vs Cedar Hill on Tuesday. Williams has range on his jumper, and was efficient scoring when fast break opportunities presented itself. Their are aspects of his game that Williams will need to improve in order to get what he wants in the recruiting trail but a talented guard that has attributes in his game that translates.
