MSE 6th Graders (No particular order)

Dylan Henderson (NV) -  He made a run for MVP honors.  The 5’10″ athletic wing/forward shared the ball and scored a high percentage of field goals.  The mature player’s jumper was fluid and he knew it.

Marques Watson (NY) – This NYC guard was another impressive player who put on a show.  He played a fancy but fundamental game.  He had a deceptive handle and lighting speed first step.

James West (VA) – This kid is special.  He never let the competition rattle him.  He’s a good decision maker and has a natural feel for the game.

Alonzo Verge (IL) – He soaks information like a sponge.  He was one of the best one on one players but needs to embrace team concept to reach full potential.

Tyler Bourne (NY) – He represented Coney Island and all of Brooklyn.  He did street moves like ‘Sham  God’ to shake off defenders.  He amazed the crowd.

Jamal Nixon (IL) – He’s 5’10″ and growing.  The wing showed ability to put the ball on floor.  He cleaned glass on defense and got easy put backs on offense.

Jaiye Jinwright (NJ) – The 5’6″ combo guard has the total package.  He saw the floor well and looked to run  a fast pace game.  He slides his feet and doesn’t reach on defense.

David Vasquez (OR) – He looked as if  he’s been in the lab.  He showed nice separation moves and his shot fell on both days of camp.  He’s destined to make it.

Jordan Rowell (IL) – The 6’0″ athlete played on all cylinders.  He was physical on all possessions.  Rowell had presence down low, he blocked shots, rebounded and finished well at rim.

Tyler Brelsford (DC) -  He’s a smart player who confronted the situation.  He recognized mismatches and fed big men in the post.  He took full advantage of the national spotlight and got big time exposure.

Gabriel Jimerson (VA) – He’s 5’5 and plays the 1, 2 & 3 position.  On fast breaks he made the middle and outlet pass.  He also made tough lay ups with his weak hand.  Look out for him.

AJ White (IN) – Has a football built with basketball skills.  He commands respect and is difficult to contain.  He looks to strike from the wing and baseline area.  He’s a good executor.

Richie Thompson (Canada) – He may grow as tall as his dad who is 6-6.  Thompson gave his team the push needed when it counted.  Once he adjusted there was no stopping him.

Sean Q Willis (IL) – He pushed the rock in a blur and quickly found the open man.  He played aggressive defense and scored in multiple ways.  He has a good point guard skill set.

Middle School Elite National Basketball Camp Elite 10 for the class of 2018

The MSE camp had its share of talented guards, forwards and big men for 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th & 9th grade.  Many players traveled from 50 states in America including Hawaii; The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Canada.

MSE 5th graders (No particular order)

T. Remington Minor - It was Texas Chain Saw Massacre in NYC.  Minor’s speed and quickness allowed him to slash the paint.  Anyone could tell you he’s the truth.  “I take this sport serious,” he said without smiling.  His focus on and off court was most impressive.

Marquise Walker – This youngster is highly advanced for his age and still has a lot to learn.  Walker currently holds the MSE national rankings #1 spot.  In showcasing, he pulled the rabbit out the hat and used  every trick in the book to keep position.

Rafael Jenkins -  One of the toughest players and biggest talks of the camp was Jenkins from Charlotte, North Carolina.  He’s an extremely crafty ball handler who dealt  with whatever the defense threw his way.  He enjoys distributing the pill and looks for his own shot opportunities.

Jordan Simmons – The shooting point guard from Illinois, Chicago plays a in-and-out game.  He either absorbs contact to finish strong in the red or puts defenders on their heels and rises for a mechanical jump shot.  He reminds us of a Russell Westbrook.

Kyler Kluge – His name is ringing bells across the country as a sharp shooter.  He has a quick release and knack for swishing nets.  He looks to immediately square up to the rim and flick his wrist.  Keep eyes on Kluge from Bloomfield,  Maryland.

El Khana Hidalgo -  The New Jersey native was one of the best players  in his division at camp.  He was aggressive and scrappy on defense.  We must say Hidalgo has a good offensive game.  He demonstrated a high basketball IQ last weekend.

Rychael Ellis -  Las Vegas wide body guard Ellis aka Macca didn’t waste any time attacking the paint and nailing treys.  He has an all around game with good upside.  Ellis was a standout player that caught scouts attention.  He’s a name to remember.

Jalen Hosea – He came from Chi-Town to make a name for himself and we were watching.  He handled the ball great especially under pressure and has a natural feel for the game.  He surveyed the floor and made sweet dimes to open teammates.

Lunden Taylor -  The new ‘Windy City’ face couldn’t chew bubble gum and tie shoes at the same time.  Now young Taylor has a decent NBA range three that he launches if given a hair length of space.  He plays defense good and uses a triple threat stance, before dribbling.

Atiba Taylor – He’s capable of competing with the best of them.  The NY 2 guard went straight to work and did whatever he wanted on the court.  He has nice size on this level and great potential.

Bottom line is the competition was top notch and kids had a world of fun.  However, MSE got a good look at the campers and there were truly some special talent in attendance.

“It felt like I was on another planet,” 9th grader Isaiah Whitehead (NY) said, because his teammates were mostly from different states.  Whitehead used a full arsenal to protect his turf.

New face 6th grader, Alonzo Verge (IL) 5-6 emerged as a crowd favorite at camp.  The rebounding guard gave several New Yorkers a scare.

Featured 5th grader, Jordan Simmons who’s also from Chicago was extremely impressive; a deadly but silent assassin.  He displayed the best perimeter shot form in a game.

Kyree Banks, 4th grader from Clinton, MD showed his worth in the point guard position. He sees the floor well and is patient with the rock.  Remember the name.  Mr. Banks told us “The camp had some bumps but you made the adjustments from day one to two” and ” The next one will be better.”

“We had an incredible experience playing in NYC.  We learned about how other regions play.  I’m glad to say we are right on schedule for where we want to be and coming to MSE confirmed that to our team.  Hope to see you again at next years camp!” said Mr. Hudson father of 8th grader Chad Hudson from Louisville, Kentucky.

Kajuan Johnson 7th grader from Louisiana said, “I had one of the best times of my life” and his pops Mr. Johnson said, “We enjoyed the camp being that it was our first one and also the people up there were cool and I would like to use your camp as a stepping stone for my son to get into other venues.”

Kids shouted  “five in the morning!” whenever the camp instructor asked “What time is it?”
