Player Spotlight

6’6 four-star SG Kaden Cooper headlines this TSF team as the highest prospect in their program. Great offensive player that can score in multiple ways and is a hard nose competitor. Kaden plays extremely hard on the defensive end and has freakish athleticism. Skilled shot maker and uses his athletic ability to finish well around the rim. High level player who recently cut his list to Kansas, LSU, Kansas State, Alabama, Gonzaga, Texas, OSU, Georgia Tech, Memphis and Oklahoma. 6’7 senior wing Wesley Tubbs is another high level player in this program. Relentless attacker, loves to put pressure on the defense and get downhill. Adept at being a playmaker as well as knocking down perimeter shots and playing with high energy on the defensive end. Another high level player with major Division I offers.

Supporting Cast

Lathan Somerville is one of the best bigs in the class of 2024. The 6’10 center possesses great footwork with the strength to clear space in paint and finish through contact. With his strength he also has a soft touch around the rim, being able to finish over either shoulder and the ability to bounce off defenders into short fadeaway jumpers. The four-star center holds high major offers from Virginia Tech, Missouri, Georgia Tech, Xavier, Rutgers and Wake Forest to name a few. Junior point guard Rodrigo Farias was a member of Dominican Republic’s FIBA U17 team this past year and is a natural scorer. Great feel for the game and good poise, plays at his own pace and can make tough pull-up shots. Junior guard Jeremiah Wilkinson is a raw athlete. Quick bounce and the ability to hang in the air makes him a great finisher around the rim. Great downhill lefty guard who has a high motor and a high competitor. Look for senior guard Desmond White who’s committed to George Mason to make winning plays and be a leader for this TSF team.
