Concordia Lutheran's Montavious Murphy was absolutely unstoppable whenever he was around the ball as he had at least three tip dunks and many more above the rim finishes. The athleticism he plays with is unmatched and makes it very easy for him to hit double digits in both categories of points and rebounds. Murphy ran the floor and took the ball straight to the basket when he wasn’t flying around. He made the difficult play look easy against Port Arthur Memorial and finished with 32 points. Murphy is Big XII ready and showed that he can protect the paint.

Not sure if the TexasHoops/GASO staff can say enough about the play of UTEP commit Jesse Zarzuela of Spring Woods (Houston), but he is simply a player. He hits the court and does a little of everything. First off, he is a competitor and plays several roles for the Tigers. He attacks the defense and handles the ball through pressure. Zarzuela has a nice change of pace in the half-court and has great court vision. He scores by penetrating to the basket, pulling up for the mid-range jumper and drains the three.
