6’5 ‘27 Carson Johnson (Upward Stars Columbia) is standing out as an x-factor for this group. Showing the ability to create mismatches as a versatile piece with size, skill, and athleticism. Intrigued by his physical tools and general upside #PHLFinals

Really intrigued by the slew of young talent on Upward Stars Columbia. 2028s like Brayden Mack, Zyion Jones, and CJ Moore have each made a lasting impression with their production. Each playing up an age group and standing out #PHLFinals

Gritty win!!!!

We spoke with ‘28 CJ Moore at #3SSB in Rock Hill and talked about his 🏀 journey, his workout routine, experience with @UStarsse, and more (sound 🔊 on). 📸 @tyvizuals

6’5 ‘27 Ja’Nolan Mathis (Upward Stars Columbia) possesses so much intrigue and upside. Extremely long and wiry with a blossoming skillset. Showing the ability to make plays defensively and create with the ball in his hands. Already displays quality feel & instincts #PHLFinals

Upward Stars Columbia 15u punches their ticket to the Phenom Hoops League Finale Final Four @UpwardStarsCola @SavageHoopsSC @Phenom_Hoops @chillin072

2027 6’5 SG Jonolan Mathis is one of South Carolina’s emerging long, athletic wings. He possesses a great feel for the game, excels at getting to his spots effectively, and contributes solid defense. Coaches should keep an eye on him as he combines scoring versatility from inside…

2028 PG @JahlilJen86062 was impressive today in his shot making ability off the bounce. Did a good job of being scrappy defensively- had a lot of people ask about him today. @PrepHoopsSC @Phenom_Hoops @POBScout @JeffreyBendel_ @Epic_Hoops @RedhawkMBB @SavageHoopsSC

2027 Brayden Mack (Upward Stars Columbia) plays with terrific poise and pace to his game, but truly showed that he can be an offensive threat in knocking down shots as well. Solid start to the weekend for him #PHLFinals

Final score from Rock Hill, in 15U action Upward Stars Columbia Blue got past Warriors Elite 64-59. Hassan Lake (Spring Valley) led the way with 22 and Kaleb Peters (Ridge view) added 16 of his own for the Stars. Legend Stevens paced the Warriors with 22. #PHLFinals

2027 Elijah Major (Upward Stars Columbia) is a strong force as a guard. Attacked downhill and was able to finish strong and through traffic. Brought a consistent presence throughout his team's win. #PHLFinals
