Hoops City Highlights

Here's some clips of 2016 sharp shooter Tray Boyd, of Olive Branch (MS) HS, from the University of Memphis team camp and the MUS summer league. Tray excels at the catch-and-shoot spot up. He also can create space for himself off the bounce. Boyd has one of the quickest releases to his shot and has several release points as well. Shooters are needed in any type of system irregardless of pace of play. Catch up with Tray Boyd on the Summer circuit with either WACG or M33M.

Here's highlights of Jesse Neloms, of Memphis Lausanne 2017. Neloms is a speedy pass first point guard that has no problem penetrating into the lane off the bounce and finding team mates. He's also a heady pg that can get a team into its sets and offense. Jesse's offensive skills must be respected. If you play off him, he'll sting you with the jumper. If played closely, he gets by defenders with his handles and speed. Check Neloms out on the circuit running with the Arkansas Wings Elite 16 and under.

 Since we last heard from Nathan Hoover, he has picked up quite a few SEC offers. Hoover has been killing it on the Under Armour Circuit as well. Here is the second part of his High School highlights from Arlington (TN). Nathan is a dead-eye shooter that can drain shots of the bounce or with the catch and shoot. Who ever lands Hoover, will have a player on their hand no doubt.

Here's Highlights of 2018 PG Carlos Sandifer, of Olive Branch (MS) HS, from the Jerry Peters's MUS Summer League. Carlos is lightning quick with the rock and has deep range on his jumper. He specializes in penetration and kicking the rock out to the open man. Next fall, Sandifer will lead a talented but young Olive Branch team that will compete in Northern Mississippi.

Although he's a stud on the grid-iron, Chase Hayden is a heck of a basketball player too. He already holds football offers from Vanderbilt and University of Tennessee. On the court, Hayden is a speedster with good solid handles with the rock. He has good elevation on his jumper and can get his shot off. He also has good leadership qualities. Look out for Chase Hayden on the grid-iron and hardwood.
