Explanations:
Elon: 1 commit; Tajuan Simpkins with 3 years to play is 3 years of an all-conference/conference player of the year caliber player. Tough, winner since HS.
UAB: 1 commit; South Plains G Jaborri McGhee is a rare combination of strength and burst at the guard spot.
teapawt.net/NEMCCTigers/status/188… Another tremendous performance for a preseason standout
6'3 Tyler Byrd (@Tyler_Byrd0)
Quick, Self-creating 2-guard. Extremely difficult for opposing guards to keep him away from the rim. Tremendously functional athlete (former WR).
Versatile scoring package. High-level of comfort operating in small spaces out of the mid-range.
Preseason standout David Popa with 30 points tonight for NMMI in a tight loss to top-ranked Howard

6’6 San Jose State transfer @JT_Elder5 Mid Season Highlights for the #16 ranked team in the country!

All games are on synergy!
JUCO Freshman to Watch:
6'4 G/W Tristin Fleming (@TristinFlem_23) - Motlow State
Explosive 3-level scorer. Tremendous HS career in Memphis and has quickly shown that his scoring skills will translate to the collegiate level. Scored 42 in Motlow's win last night over a very good Roane State team.
11 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks on 5/5 shooting tonight for Paul in Eastern Kentucky’s win over Chicago State tonight.

6’7 F Yvens Paul had 51 dunks in 29 games played. He shot 69.6% from the field and had a 7.8% Blk rate. In my database going back to 2019-20, no JC big has matched these #’s & the closest to doing so was South Carolina’s Nick Pringle, who played a pivotal role in Alabama’s F4 run

Another tremendous performance in a win tonight for Harcum Lead-Guard Nick Jones against #3 ranked Northwest Florida, 18 Pts (7/13 FG, 2/5 3Pt) 6 steals, 5 rebounds, and a 2nd win of the season away from home against a top-ranked opponent.
Shotmaking combo-guard that I have ranked far ahead of consensus. Extremely excited to see him play for some of our subscribers @SCSUHuskies_MBB
I have officially decided to further my education and basketball career at Saint Cloud state university @Coach_Q__ @cobrien42 #agtg #commited
My top ranked player in the 2025 juco class. Ranked as the #1 freshman a year ago as well.
In his first game for Elon, simpkins posted 18 points, 5 rebounds & 3 assists & was a +8 in 22 minutes off the bench in a tough 14 point loss at North Carolina. Some people thought this was an over-evaluation…

Terror Prep has consistently developed & prepared rim-running bigs at a high level for D1's over recent-years. Tokpah (@adam_tokpah) is next up from the Terror program & would be shocked if his recruitment didn't blow up very soon.
Opening Weekend JUCO Stock-Risers:
Poet Davis (@PoetDavis)
Started his JUCO run by doing what he did his entire HS career, shooting the cover off the ball. Averaged 29 Pts 48.6% shooting, 8/19 from deep, & got to the line 20 times in 2 games. Extremely exciting offensive profile.
Opening Weekend JUCO Stock-Risers:
Amarco Doyle (@Amarco_32)
Doyle has quickly adjusted from the NBL to NJCAA, averaging 18 & 11 on 59.3% FG & 40% 3. Tremendous physicality combined with high-feel. I have Doyle as a high mid-major eval, and expect schools to show they agree soon.

Nick Jones (@iamDorian5)
29 Pts, 5 Ast, 3 Stl
10/16 FG 2/3 3Pt 7/8 FT
Electric performance in a 97-96 cross-country road win over ranked from the preseason 14th ranked player in all of JUCO in my rankings.
As my subscribers know, Jones is a tough two-way playmaking lead-guard.
JUCO Opening Night Top Performers Thread:
LeBron Thomas
24 Pts, 7 Asts, 6 Reb, 2 Stls, 1 Blk
5/10 FG 13/15 FT
Showed why he's a no-doubt top-10 prospect in JC. Playmaking was displayed on both sides of the ball and relentless attacking the rim in Vincennes 80-73 Win over East Ms.
