RANKINGS: Class of 2014 - 2015 - 2016

LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Each year the Pangos All-American camp serves a bridge between the spring travel ball circuit and the summer's All-Star camp circuit and live evaluation periods. On opening night, five-stars

Tyler Dorsey and Isaiah Briscoe went head to head and Jacob Evans left his mark.

Maybe the most intriguing matchup on opening night was the one between five-star guards Tyler Dorsey and Isaiah Briscoe. Headed to Arizona, Dorsey is a 6-foot-4 combo from Los Angeles who currently ranks No. 7 in the class of 2015 while Briscoe is a tough 6-foot-3 point guard from New Jersey who checks in at No. 19 nationally.

On the spring travel circuit, Briscoe made a strong case that he should be considered the best point guard in the class of 2015 and he will be moving upwards in the rankings. Early on, he took the fight right to Dorsey. Perhaps Briscoe didn't finish as well as he usually does, but he got anywhere he wanted to go and he did it anytime he wanted. Maybe most impressive early was the message Briscoe was sending defensively. A few early Dorsey drives were met by Briscoe beating him to the spot, getting his chest out using it to knock Dorsey back a few feet.

Like Briscoe, Dorsey came out aggressive. But, in the first half he lost a little bit of steam as Briscoe got off to his hot start and chatted up Dorsey and anybody else in the gym who wanted to listen. However, halftime gave Dorsey a chance to regroup and he came out and had a much better go of it in the second half. Mostly, Dorsey drove the ball and by the end of the game he had pretty much evened things out with Briscoe after Briscoe had gotten the better of him early on.

Each year, the Pangos All-American camp serves as the launching pad to national notoriety for a player or two who entered the camp relatively unknown. Based on Friday night's results, small forward Jacob Evans from Baton Rouge (La.) St. Michael is putting himself in position to be one of the players who sees his stock take off.

During Friday night's mostly wild and out of control play, Evans skill based game, basketball IQ and ability to use his body to create space and finish with either hand were impressive.

Evans does most of his damage attacking off the dribble where he can best utilize his size and he dictates the pace of things on the floor.

"I felt pretty good out there," Evans told Rivals.com. "My team, we can all push the ball and that's my type of playing style."

While Evans doesn't yet attracted a bunch of national coverage, he's getting hit hard by college coaches and that's what matters the most. Evans listed offers from Oklahoma State, South Carolina, UTEP, Houston, Richmond and Memphis. He also listed interest from LSU, West Virginia and Florida.

Currently an unranked three-star, Evans is going to be somebody to watch much more closely this weekend and during the summer with the Louisiana Dynasty. He is certainly a kid who has a good feel for his own game.

"I feel like I can get to the rack," said Evans. "Then along with my driving I can shoot pretty well. I'm working on my shooting more and want to be better with my three point jump shot.

Something about getting a commitment out of the way always seems to take the edge off of things for a prospect and allows them to just play free and easy. Friday night, Hemsley focused on getting to the rim and used good first step quickness to lose defenders. Here to view this Link.. The slender wing from Eads (Tenn.) Briarcrest Christian is definitely one to monitor going forward because of his fluid athleticism and open floor ability. High major programs will surely be getting to know more about him this summer.Here to view this Link. is one of the country's premier jump shooters from deep. If he gets a clean look -- particularly from the corner -- he isn't going to miss very many of his three-point attempts. Thought of as more of a wing up until now, Jackson has started to bulk up and he is an interesting option as a four man who can stretch the floor. He was one of the night's most productive players with 20 points and six rebounds.
