Hey, Old Fart, I’m trying to put together a trip over to KC for the EYBL event Memorial Day weekend. In addition to who you’ve already noted above the new offerrees playing there would be Kinney, Taylor, Moody, Smith and Gaskins. Is that correct or am I missing someone? I feel like I am.

OOPS!  Just sent you a dm but it's the Memphis schedule not the KC schedule.  List of names should be correct.  You can get the KC schedule at:  https://nikeeyb.com/schedule?~w=fl~eJwVizEOwjAMAL9SecZSnMQ2sBeJhQFaqWvSOBPq0g3Uv4PHO919YYfrAMpSqkTCkHpCoh6wkihaV26hxnPpBU4DvD22DceH08fpdl-m-Tm-XOyrGxYVS0q8tpwjt_8ejLI2NbkoHD-AkByw

EYBL has their $hit together in a way none of the other circuits are even dreaming of yet.

Capsule summary of our '26 offers from Alex Bozich.  Unfortunately, he overlooked Caleb Holt.   Mildly interesting that at this point Taylen Kinney and Anthony Thompson are the only kids that were offered by the previous staff and have been re-offered by our new staff.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 93,000]

It's an NCAA Evaluation Period weekend and the major shoe circuits all have events scheduled.   For anyone unfamiliar with what an Evaluation Period is, it means coaching staffs can be in attendance at the event but cannot make any kind of in-person or off-campus contact with the recruit.  Coaches are required to sit in specific areas of the venue and even given specific instructions as to what doors to use for entry/exit.  After this weekend, we'll have a clearer idea of who the staff is really targeting and if any other Woody offers will be re-offered by DDV.  At this time, only '26 Tay Kinney, '26 Anthony Thompson and '27 Jason Gardner have received fresh offers from DDV.   And following this weekend, we'll likely see reports of new offers being extended.

Lots of traveling required this weekend.

Weekend is underway and KJ and Drew are in Iowa watching '27 Jason Gardner and '27 Cooper Zachary at the 3SSB event.

Woodson conveniently allowed for a booster event to be today so CDD isn’t on the road yet. He will be tomorrow and Sunday. - peegs

'27 Isaiah Hill (Indy Heat) 10 pts; 10 reb; 7 blk in a win

'26 E. J. Hazelett (Indy Heat) to transfer from Franklin Central to Kankakee, IL where his dad will become head football coach.  He's been on campus a couple of times but unsure about our level of interest.

No idea who 'we' is.  Kenny and Drew were at the 3SSB event (Iowa) earlier today while Rod was reported at the EYBL event in Memphis.  Our name was just included in a long list of schools that were at this particular EYBL game.  

Andershock just said it's just Rod Clark.

DDV on the road today and currently in Iowa with Drew and KJ watching '27 Jason Gardner and '27 Cooper Zachary.   Going 3 deep certainly sends a message that Gardner is a very high priority '27 target.  And despite the fact his dad is on the staff at Arizona, we must feel his recruitment is truly open.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 93,000]

Rod Clark in Memphis (EYBL) watching Prince-Alexander Moody and Jordan Smith both playing on Team Takeover.

16U Indiana Elite with another win this morning.  Cooper Zachary 6-9 on 3s finishing with 23 pts.  That's after making 5-3s in yesterday's game and scoring 24 pts.

EYBL stats for DDV offers.  I'm no longer going to post stats for Woody offers  unless it becomes clear the new staff is clearly interested in that particular player. '27 Ryan Hampton and '26 Jordan Smith some impressive scoring.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 93,000]

Cited as standouts at last weekend's 3SSB event.

Anthony Thompson | 6-8 Forward | 2026 | Indiana Elite 17U 

Thompson’s natural tools and long-term upside are at times jaw-dropping, as he remains one of the circuit’s most promising prospects. The smooth lefty boasts positional size, length and the type of mobility that makes everything look effortless. He showcased his soft shooting touch from deep in Council Bluffs, pulling up comfortably from beyond the arc and knocking down shots with ease. Thompson also flashed his ability to create off the bounce, using his length and body control to finish through traffic. Though he sat out the final games due to injury, his blend of physical traits, skill level, and age for his class gives him one of the highest ceilings of any prospect in the field. Coaches will be keeping a close eye on his continued development. 

 

Cameron Williams | 6-11 Forward | 2026 | Compton Magic 17U

Williams made a strong impression in Session 2, displaying his two-way potential with multiple standout showings on both ends of the floor. The long, fluid forward continues to trend up, combining pro-level physical tools with growing confidence and feel. He’s averaging 17.4 PPG and 6.0 RPG and has been a defensive force—racking up 2.8 BPG and 2.0 SPG. His shot-blocking instincts, timing, and ability to cover ground made him a major deterrent around the rim, while his quick hands and lateral agility allowed him to defend multiple positions and jump passing lanes. Offensively, Williams is highly efficient, currently shooting 62.9% (97 attempts) from the field and 46.2% from 3 (26 attempts), stretching the floor and capitalizing on his length and touch around the basket. Throughout the weekend, Williams was assertive, active on the glass, and consistently made winning plays. With his defensive versatility and offensive efficiency, he’s quickly emerging as one of the most complete front court threats in the country. 

 

Cooper Zachary | 5-10 Guard | 2027 | Indiana Elite 16U 

Zachary is objectively one of the most impactful guards on the 16U circuit and a huge reason Indiana Elite is off to a 6–2 start through two sessions. He’s a knockdown shooter with deep range and a lightning-quick release—connecting on an eye-popping 58.3% from 3 (60 attempts) while averaging 19.3 PPG on 59.3% shooting overall. Beyond his elite shotmaking, Zachary plays with a fearless edge and mature poise, balancing his scoring with 3.1 APG and unselfish decision-making. He thrives in a fast-paced, run-and-gun system, constantly moving off the ball and creating chaos for opposing defenses. Defensively, he’s alert and instinctive, averaging 1.8 SPG by reading plays early and jumping passing lanes. Alongside Jason Gardner, Jr., he forms one of the most electric backcourts on the 3SSB circuit.
