Saturday started bracket play with losers going home and the winners extending their stay in Las Vegas into Sunday. Here is a breakdown of the action on Day 4:
Elishja Duplechan 5-foot-10 PG Team Superstar 16 Elite (Sheldon) 2017: In the opening bracket game, Duplechan looked for his shot as a point guard as he hit a few midrange jumpers and went to the foul line by initiating contact. He had a key 3-point make in the second half as he probably accounted for half the team's points. Per his club coach, Pacific has expressed interest.
Dejon Davis 6-foot-7 F Oakland Rebels 17 Red (Oakland Tech) 2016: Davis is slightly undersized to be a power forward. He has good foot movement and plays physical in the post. The Oakland Tech prospect displays a nice midrange game.
Cole Taira 5-foot-10 G E-Time Hoops 17U (Kennedy) 2016: Tiara has a non-stop motor as he plays hard on both ends. He displayed an accurate perimeter touch. Chico State, CSU East Bay, and Sonoma State have shown interest.
Peter Hamilton 6-foot-7 F Oakland Soldiers 17 Blue (Central Catholic) 2016: The Central Catholic prospect is a good face up shooter who moves well laterally. He rebounds well for his size. Per his club coach, Chaminade, CSU East Bay, and Point Loma are in contact.
Jordan Ratinho 6-foot-5 SF Lakeshow 17s Elite (De La Salle) 2016: Since Anaheim from last week, his club coach has stated that Oregon State and Utah have stepped it up in their recruiting interest. Ratinho is a versatile scorer but his perimeter shooting is his calling card. Along with teammate Nikhil Peters, De La Salle should be one of the top teams from Northern California in the upcoming season.
Sean Gilmore 6-foot-8 F Bay Area Warriors 17U (University) 2016: Gilmore was the team's most effective player as he filled up the stat sheet with points, rebounds, and blocked shots. He is versatile with his offense as he can score inside or on the perimeter. He has heard from schools like Army and Chico State but getting the most interest at the Division III level that includes Claremont, Pomona, and Whitman.
Connor O'Dea 6-foot-3 SG Greenline (De La Salle) 2017: O'Dea has good size and athleticism. He was aggressive in his rebounding and ran the court well. Per his head coach, interest from some Division II level schools has started.
Eric Galindo 5-foot-11 PG Bay Area Warriors 17U (Archbishop Riordan) 2016: Galindo is a quick and versatile guard. He displayed a fearless perimeter shot. Per his club coach, Galindo is recruited by Division III programs, which include Oberlin, Pomona, and Vassar.
David Menary 6-foot-6 F E-Time Hoops 17U (Nevada Union) 2016: Menary is an agile forward who can shoot, put the ball on the floor, and is a solid passer. He led his Nevada Union team with 18.6 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Per his club coach, he is getting interest from Chico State, Pacific, and several other Division II schools.
Nicholas Macarchuk 6-foot-7 W Greenline (De La Salle) 2016: Macarchuk is an outside shooter with length. He is not the most agile player but will be depended on for rebounding for De La Salle as he is the tallest player on the roster. His recruiting should benefit from playing alongside Peters and Ratinho.
Tavian Henderson 6-foot-4 Wing Oakland Soldiers 17 Blue (St Patrick St Vincent) 2017: The junior is a slashing wing who is a versatile scorer. He has good defensive attributes with his feet movement and long arms. Montana and Portland State have expressed early interest.
Austin Clarke 6-foot-6 SF Lakeshow 17s Elite (Campolindo) 2016: Injuries are a part of sports but Clarke has had some untimely injuries this past summer. He had a concussion on the opening day of the April evaluation period. Per his club coach, Clarke sprained his ankle in their opening game in Las Vegas and has sat out the rest of the weekend. Campolindo won 28 games last year and will need Clarke to be on the court to help them match those totals.
