Hoop Group Future All-American

READING, PA - With a star studded lineup of rising sophomores and freshmen from the northeast competing at Hoop Group Future All-American Camp, it was clear that the young, up and coming talent is pacing themselves to breakout in the near future. Here's a recap of those who stood out at the camp on Monday.

2016 Vermont Academy guard Christian Vital has done a good job of diversifying his game on offense this summer. An excellent shooter with range, the 6-foot-1 combo guard is becoming an athletic slasher who can create with or without the ball in his hands. He isn't a point guard yet, as he must tighten his handle. Vital looked aggressive at camp and did a good job of converting at the rim. He holds offers from Holy Cross, VCU and Boston. Coming off a visit to Columbia and VCU last week, Vital hopes to check out Manhattan and Providence before the summer ends.

2016 DeMatha (MD) point guard Alani Moore came to camp with the right attitude on the court. He played hard, physical ball on both ends as he would contest for loose rebounds and extra possessions. At 5-foot-10, he is small, but stout, and can find an open teammate to create a scoring opportunity. His handle is fantastic. Moore needs to shoot the ball more, but as a pass-first floor general, he got his guys going. No schools have offered him at this point, but the rising sophomore holds interest from Notre Dame, Maryland, Miami and Virginia Tech.

2016 North Royalton (OH) power forward Omari Spellman has the makings of a future high-major big man. Cincinnati had a feeling and became the first high-major school to offer him. With an extremely high motor and athleticism for his body frame, Spellman has become more confident on the court. His handle has improved in hopes of becoming a stretch four. He has good hands, and is beginning to get in better shape. Spellman has all the makings of a player who will be highly coveted in the future. Dayton, Northern Kentucky, Detroit, Ohio and Cleveland State have also offered. He will visit UCLA before the summer ends, with hopes of checking out UNLV and USC, as well.

2016 Friends Central (PA) wing DeAndre Hunter needs to become strong and more aggressive on the court, but he can potentially be a very good prospect. Although it is early, he is drawing comparisons to Syracuse's Tyler Roberson and Duke's Amile Jefferson because of their body types and how versatile they are for long combo forwards. With an overall solid skill set, Hunter's quickness has picked up over the summer as he can blow by bigger defenders. Potentially, he can be a very good prospect. Xavier, George Mason, Villanova, Tennessee and NC State have inquired.

2016 St. Mary's (NY) guard Devonte Green is working on becoming a point guard, but the rising sophomore showed off why he is such an effective two-guard on Monday. He did a great job at scoring in transition as his quick first step got him by his defender. Once he becomes a better ball handler, his stock will rise from there. While his brother, Danny, had a big year with the San Antonio Spurs, the younger Green has been picking up attention for quite some time. He has yet to receive an offer, however, schools such as UConn, North Carolina, Florida, Dayton and Providence have shown interest.

2017 Neumann Goretti (PA) guard Quade Green is part of a loaded backcourt for the Philadelphia team. While he is the youngest, his future is very bright. Confident both on and off the court, Green isn't afraid to take over a game by scoring. He got to the rim with ease and consistently finished at the basket. He can pull up and shoot it at times, and mixes that up from time to time by finding his teammates. His teammate - 2016 point guard Vaughn Covington - is more of a pass first guard, but also showed off his slashing ability at Future All-American camp.

2016 Our Savior New American (NY) power forward Kassoum Yakwe is still developing his body, but his defense continues to get better. That is in part due to his physicality and effort, as well as his length and high IQ. His offensive game is still coming along as his shots weren't falling in the post at camp, but Yakwe did a great job of showing off very impressive post moves. His defense really stood out, however, as he blocked shot after shot in a number of ways against opponents of all sizes. The Mali native holds offers from Pittsburgh, St. John's, Seton Hall, Syracuse, Oregon, UNLV and Washington, with a growing list of interest from Ohio State, Kentucky and Kansas.

2016 DeMatha (MD) power forward Joe Hampton has plenty of talent for a big 6-foot-6 power forward. While he has the body of a power forward, he has a fantastic skill set. Hampton moves well, can handle the ball, has a shot and a strong post game. His agility and athleticism isn't quite there yet, but he runs the floor extremely well and makes a great impact on the defensive side. He isn't the type of player for every coach, but one who will use him to their advantage. He is versatile and can do a lot more than simply post up and bang on the boards. Xavier has already offered, while Syracuse, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Maryland, Miami and Notre Dame are interested.

2016 Paul VI (VA) guard Curtis Jones was one of the top performers at the camp. As he will transfer to the Virginia powerhouse program for his sophomore year, Jones has improved a lot this summer as he is more athletic and much quicker. His handle has improved and he does a good job of adjusting to contact when attacking the basket. A major improvement from how he played back in June, Jones is living up to his reputation. This has earned him offers from NC State, Richmond and Virginia Tech with upcoming visits in August to Virginia and VCU.

2016 Abington Friends (PA) small forward Lamar Stevens will not be returning to the school for his sophomore year. Instead, he is opting for either Neumann Goretti (PA) or Haverford School (PA). Regardless, his upside is through the roof as the 6-foot-6 wing prospect can play both guard positions, as well as do a number of things on the perimeter. He plays hardnose defense and has a great sense of where the ball is on the court at all times. He swatted a number of shots off the backboard as his awareness, IQ and speed are also impressive. A slasher, Stevens must work next on his jumper. At this point, he looks like a high-major player who will need to find the ideal system in college. If he continues to grow and work on his jumper, it will be interesting to see how good this unique ballplayer turns out. Penn State, Xavier, James Madison, George Mason and Tulsa have shown interest.

2016 Math, Civics & Sciences (PA) shooting guard Nazeer Bostick is part of a new trend in which mid-major schools are offering kids at a younger age. Only a rising sophomore, he obtained four offers this summer. Bostick can create his own shot and can be aggressive at times. His motor isn't always on, though, and that will need to be changed. He can score in a variety of ways and has a developed body for a freshman. Robert Morris, James Madison, Florida International and LIU have offered to this point.
