2028 4⭐️ 6’6” SF Joshua Huggins out of Briacrest HS has been the best player on the court for Team Thad 16U. 19 PPG | 6 REB | 3.6 AST Huggins tells me he’s been receiving plenty of HM interest since the live period started and has earned offers from: Memphis Mississippi State Ole Miss Murray State Boston College Tennessee State Alabama A&M Jacksonville Louisiana-Monroe Huggins’ physicality jumps off the film, averaging a ridiculous 7.9 FTA per game (83.6% FT%). Good change-of-pace for his size, and his athleticism pops. Huggins impressed with his playmaking skills for a bigger, score-first wing (3.6 AST per game), making several good reads. His FG% is inefficient through EYBL sessions 1/2 due to his role, but his FT% indicates good touch. It makes sense for Huggins to make the jump to Team Thad 17s, so we’ll see what happens the rest of the EYBL sessions.

NEWS: 2026 6’10” C Kaleb Davis from Houston HS (Memphis, TN) has now heard from these programs since Monday, his agency @SportsNetLLC tells me: NC State Villanova Seton Hall Texas A&M UAB UT Arlington In addition to Virginia Tech, Charlotte, La Salle others 📈 Davis’ 7’3” wingspan defensive instincts allow for him to be an elite rim protector and make an immediate defensive impact next season (2nd in 3SSB in BLKs). Still raw on the offensive end (impact limited to mainly PNRs), but as an incoming freshman, he has time to make strides in that aspect of his game. Would be a great developmental big for any HM programs looking for depth and will make an immediate impact next season for any MMs/LMs still looking for bigs. He will be playing with @TeamThadNation 17Us this weekend in Memphis. Attached is his schedule.

2027 Team Thad 6’0” G Justin Frison out of Houston HS (Memphis, TN) had a dominant EYBL session in Memphis. 15.5 PPG | 9.5 AST | 6.5 REB | 2.9 STL | 52.5% FG | 50% 3PT (10-20) Frison is now hearing from these schools, his agency @SportsNetLLC tells me: Creighton UAB Wichita State West Virginia Xavier Ole Miss Nebraska Murray State Miami Ohio Belmont I was most impressed with how Frison controlled the game this weekend. Sets up his teammates extremely well (EYBL leader in ASTs) and is pesky on the defensive end (EYBL leader in STLs). Doesn’t matter if he has the ball in his hands or not, Frison is a net positive on the court. Expecting his recruitment to blow up this summer. MM /HM- schools should be all over him. @JustinF_2027

NEWS: 2026 6’10” Houston HS (Memphis, TN) C Kaleb Davis just picked up an offer from Virginia Tech and Charlotte, his agency @SportsNetLLC tells me. 6’10” w/ 7’3” wingspan. Elite rim protector (2.9 BLKs per game, 2nd in 3SSB). High motor. Virginia Tech, Charlotte, La Salle, Arkansas State, UAB, SEMO, others are currently involved. As the transfer portal dries up teams look to add depth bigs, Kaleb Davis is a no brainer add imo. High character kid. He will be playing with @TeamThadNation 17U in this upcoming EYBL live session and looks to make a decision soon.

BREAKING: Florida Atlantic 6’9” big Maxim Logue has committed to Memphis, per multiple sources. Logue - who decommitted from North Carolina due to an academic transcript issue - averaged 4.8 PTS 3.1 REB in just 11.2 minutes per game last season. Very important pickup for Memphis, who needed more pieces at the big spot.
