2024 Recruiting: Nike EYBL Peach Jam

[husky429]

Tahaad Pettiford is 4-25 on threes, Jahki Howard is 2-19, their team is 12-75.

I expected Howard to come back down to earth. He's more a 30% shooter than the 38% he did in the regular season

 

[SportsFan88]

He's dominating 17u playing up 2 years. Pretty sure he's averaging 25 a game this week and 20 during the 6 rwgular season games. Flagg and Boozer aren't even playing up 1 year.

IMO yes, he's on their level. But that's just one guys opinion.

2 guys (me) lol, his footwork, effort and just natural talent is prodigy like, as he physically fills out he is gonna be SCARY

Green light starting to turn yellow??

 

[Mr. French]

Watching Rens now, Betsey is smooth for sure. As I type this he just hit a step in from NBA range. Dylan Harper is a total stud, I love his strong and controlled game, like a more physically gifted Brunson. He's going to be really good in college.

Jeff Goodman on Twitter: "Never thought I would see the day when arguably the top two high school basketball players in the country hail from New England, but that might be the case. AJ Dybantsa - Massachusetts Cooper Flagg - Maine Two of the best high school players I’ve seen in the last 20 years." / Twitter

duck* it would be nice just to get one, man.

I think it’s safe to say if Dan lands this kid, we’re building a statue or re naming a street near gampel.

Any video of the Hurley interview?

I can't find the replay of it anywhere, I will keep looking and see if I can grab it

Ngongba with the and-1 3... assist from his cousin.

This is a fun game. Couple of shooters going nuts and the energy/team play is much better than a normal AAU game.

 

[Tommyboy]

This game is crazy right now.

 

[Mr. French]

Getting intense! 2 good teams, Vegas has some ballers.

The second I turned it on Nnongba hit a 3 and 1 (missed FT) and announcers talked about his physicality and finesse combo.

 

[navery12]

Had never watched Abraham before, only seen the comments here so was going in with low expectations. Obviously a very small sample but he seems like a solid role player

Passing is a little better today--actually got a couple of assists. Has had 2 assists in the 6 games he's played all week before this. Good to see him playing well in the biggest game yet.

Just had a nice little right hand drive.

Announcer just said that he's already made up his mind but hasn't publically announced yet. Thinking it must be the good guys.

Edit: I'm pretty impressed with Ngongba and Abraham's screening this game. Working well together on that at the 4/5.

 

[husky429]

3 nice buckets and a block for Ngongba to start the half.

Abraham bricked a couple shots and had a pretty horrible transition drive. Solid defense all around though and staying involved on offense.

Ngongba not making the best decisions guarding the post and got benched.

 

[husky429]

Abraham with the best game I've seen from him. Just banged a corner 3 and has 7/2/3

Ngongba with a clutch drawn charge and a 2 at the other end to really put the game away.

 

[husky429]

Team Takeover wins the title.

Ngongba: 11/5/3 on 5/6 shooting

Abraham: 7/2/3 on 3/6 shooting.

 

[BGesus4]

Team Takeover wins the title.

Ngongba: 11/5/3 on 5/6 shooting

Abraham: 7/2/3 on 3/6 shooting.

For 11 and 5 , I thought Ngongba looked like a pretty dominant big

 

[sdrouin]

This is a Kentucky beat writer, sure UK fans love this lol

I've watched a tremendous amount of the Peach Jam. These are the best of the best kids in the country and the best of the best AAU teams in the country. Flagg and Dybantsa are incredible young talents but with the top veteran AAU teams I'm not seeing great teams and great talent. Certainly not like what I've seen in many past years. Some of those NY and NJ teams from the 90's would absolutely murder these teams.

New England media pretty happy that 2 of the best high school players in the country are here.

Pretty cool that both guys will probably be kicking tires(OVs) in Storrs before they make their final CBB decisions..
