@Paral2Purpose @davbentley’s zest for life towers over his dwarfism. A pillar of strength, the Assistant Coach of Hargrave Military Academy takes us through his remarkable story of resilience and faith, including spinal surgery and regaining his freedom in a wheelchair.
My focus is to show up today. Wherever I'm at. To do the best job I can do in helping our manager, the other coaches, and our players. And that's going to keep my day full.
Highlights of 2026 F Will Stevens from the Adidas 3SSB Championships via @Hoopfarm. Showed his inside-out skillset on his way to 16.8 PPG over 5 games. Brought good energy throughout the week too. @Will_Stevens22 @UStarsse
Will Stevens was one of the names that kept popping up over the weekend. The size, IQ, passing, shooting have always been there. What had people leaving excited was his activity level and the confidence he exuded. That combo with his skill set and upside leave a lot to like.

After a great conversation with the coaching staff, I am blessed to receive an offer from Vanderbilt.
2027 F Ferlandas Wright was one of my favorite prospects. His blend of size, athleticism, strength, mobility, skill, & motor is special at this age. He averaged 16.5 ppg, 13/22 FG (59%), and 7.5 rpg in the semis & finals as Indy Heat won it all. Won’t be long until he’s known.

Some 2026 guys who I thought were significant stock risers during the July Live Periods: Trey Pearson Will Stevens Kaleb Corbitt Aeneas Alexander Jaydon Kimbrough Quentin Coleman Kole Grandison Alex Leeth DJ Jackson K’Nard Callendar Sawyer Dotson Addison Dyer Cameron Jackson
2026 G Trey Pearson had one of the best weeks at Peach Jam. Posting 12.9 PPG and 5.9 APG while leading Brad Beal Elite to the title. As good of a passer as there is with the ability to also score if needed and guard 94 ft. UTA, High Point, and UIC have recently offered.
Uncommon leaders don’t blend in. They don’t just follow culture—they shape it. Don’t aim for average this week. Choose integrity over image. #UncommonLeadership #uncommon #leadership
Get better anyways. It’s not ignoring your problems and setbacks. It’s not giving them power.
Blessed and grateful to receive an offer from the University of Michigan 💙💛 Thank you Coach May 🙏🏾 @umichbball #AGTG
One of the cool things about the 🏀 world is the people you meet. Getting to know @John_Fanta and watching him call Peach Jam games as if it was the Big East Tournament was an awesome experience. His love and passion for the sport oozes out of him and evident in his work.

16u Final Indy Heat-76 JL3-67 Indy outlasts JL3 to advance to 16u Peach Jam finals. Ferlandas Wright is as impressive a prospect as I’ve seen. Jahari Miller a tough lead guard. Kam Mercer provides scoring and Isaiah Hill has TONS of upside. @indyheatgymrats @certified_hill3
Brad Beal Elite with a dominating, complete team effort win over Team Durant getting contributions from all over to advance to Peach Jam semis. JaShawn Andrews, Trey Pearson, Sheek Pearson, and Jamison White were all impressive in the win.
Final WhyNot - 66 CP3 - 63 WhyNot with an incredible 2nd half comeback on the defensive end holding CP3 without a 3pt FG. Kaiden Bailey and Julius Price led the way with 20 and 16, respectively. Two tough guards that can score it. @teamwhynot @Kobailey_2 @JuliusPrice_
Halftime CP3 - 43 WhyNot - 24 In front of a packed house and ton of coaches, CP3 comes out shooting well to stake a nice halftime lead. Cole Cloer is 4/5 from 3 and the team is 8/13 from deep.
