Eric Hampford @3ricHampford ·

Andrew Force @AForceF150 ·

Kobi Simmons (GA) makes tough layup. Shouts "He Can't hold me!" Gives up 3 by gambling 5 seconds later.

Eric Bossi @ebosshoops ·

Kobi Simmons has definitely stepped his game up. Way too quick for Gamepoint. Lengthy PG getting to cup at will #adidasuprising

Corey Albertson @Corey_Albertson ·

Celtics up big at half. Kobi Simmons is a pro athlete at PG spot, gets whatever he wants off bounce. Celtics loaded top to bottom.

Corey Albertson @Corey_Albertson ·

6'10 C James Banks has also stood out for the Celtics. Decently skilled post with athleticism and length.

Brian Snow @BSnowScout ·

Kobi Simmons is playing unreal here. Passing it and scoring at will

Reggie Rankin @ReggieRankin ·

Kobi Simmons was excellent tonight. Made plays in full attack mode. Game has continued to blossom

Reggie Rankin @ReggieRankin ·

Very excited about the upside of James Banks. Only been playing three years. The best is yet to come.

Tariq Sbiet @Tariq_NPH ·

Catching Team Tyler Ennis for 1st time. STACKED roster. Simi Shittu, Rowan Barrett, Andrew Nembhard, Danilo Djuricic & list goes on

Reggie Rankin @ReggieRankin ·

Really like the versatility of Syracuse commit Matthew Moyer.

Scott Burgess @scottybscout ·

Jordan Tucker putting in work. Big SG with a smooth jumper with quick release

CourtCred @courtcred ·

We R 1 back court of Quadre Green & Trevon Duval continues to impress. Both cutting up the D w/penetration in both half court & transition.

Dean Francis @OttosWorld365 ·

For those wondering, yes SU has staff members(Hop/GMac) checking out recruits tonight before the B-Ball gala tomorrow. #Cuse

Pressure is on, give me Al Gilbert with the rock every day of the week. #EYBL

Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein ·

D1 Circuit @D1Circuit ·

Team CP3 G Alterique Gilbert (@iBleed_Royal): 14 PTS, 5 AST, 2 STL vs GA Stars

D1 Circuit @D1Circuit ·

Albany City Rocks G Quinton Rose (@qrose_3): 9 PTS, 4 REB, 3 AST, 2 STL in a win over MeanStreets

Corey Pegram @CoreyPegram ·

2017 Trevon Duval is eating this SYF defense alive. 3's, tough finishes, dishes from perimeter & in paint. High level prospect.

Josh Gershon @JoshGershon ·

2017 Expressions center Nick Richards is really impressive. Nonstop motor, all over the defensive glass, blocks shots and finishes w/contact

Hoop Group @TheHoopGroup ·

2018 Cameron Reddish of Team Final 16s has high major written all over him. 6'6 bouncy wing, the game just comes natural to him #PittJamFest
