There were quite a few prospects worthy of winning here, but Khavon Moore’s performance trumped them all. In an afternoon win, the 6-foot-8 wing played as well as he’s played in a while. It’s nothing new to see him attacking the rim in transition and making plays for others. What stood out most was the fact he hit five three-pointers on his way to 26 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Moore recently dropped in the updated 2018 rankings from five-star range down to No. 53 overall, but performances like he had on Friday will help him make up lost ground.

On the recruiting side, Moore recently cut his list down to 12 schools. Georgia's Mark Fox was among the head coaches in attendance, as were assistants from Alabama, Florida and N.C. State.

If you start going down the checklist of what makes a good basketball player, regardless of position, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl checks all the boxes. The five-star prospect will have a long hoops career because of his versatility and feel for the game. He may not have the same upside as some of his peers in the 2019 class, but he’s as productive on a consistent basis as any of them.

When Anthony Edwards is in the game for the Atlanta Xpress 16’s, it feels like he can score pretty much whenever he wants to. He has a smooth looking jumper from deep. Off the bounce, he possesses a quick first step, and he’s a very strong finisher at the rim. Long term, he could possibly develop into more of a combo guard, which will only add to his value as a recruit. Avery Johnson was spotted courtside for his afternoon game. Auburn, Florida State, Georgia Tech and Texas A&M are among the other schools in the mix here.

Devon Dotson spent more time at the free throw line in Friday night’s semifinal win than any prospect I’ve seen in a while. He uses a number of different ball moves going to the basket, and he’s very crafty in how he creates contact with the defender as he goes up to shoot. On the recruiting front, word is Florida, Kansas and Maryland are heavily in the mix.

Back during the two recruiting periods in April, Bates played very well but was still very raw and limited on offense. While he still has a lot of room to grow, he looks like a much more confident offensive player. He knocked down a very nice looking mid-range jumper and dunked everything he possibly could. Combine improving offense with a guy who plays his tail off on the defensive end and on the glass, and you have an intriguing prospect. N.C. State head coach Kevin Keatts had a close eye on him along with several other high-major assistants. Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Georgetown are involved as well.

The 2019 guard from the DC Blue Devils had a lot of coaches asking, “Who is that guy?” A 6-foot-2 combo guard, Lee is wired to score and he’s an explosive athlete. He’ll be a hot commodity in the DMV area before long.

The Peach Jam over the years has built up a reputation as the best hoops event of the entire summer, and rightfully so. The atmosphere at the Riverview Park Activities Center is top notch. Friday night’s semifinal matchup between Team Thad and Team Charlotte had a Peach Jam feel to it. The court was filled with college coaches and spectators, the crowd was into the game, and the play was very competitive. Team Charlotte squeaked out a close one behind four-star point guard Devon Dotson.
