Standouts: UA Finals (Part 2)
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA – The UA Finals were in full force this past week. The Hoop Vibe team was in attendance on Friday and Saturday to take in the action.
Here is Part 2 of the top standouts from the event.
ICYMI: Standouts: UA Finals (Part 1)2025 6-6 G Patrick Liburd – SOH Elite
Patrick Liburd (Pictured Above) opened a lot of eyes on Friday night. In a win over Canada Elite, the 2025 6-foot-6 guard showed off his reliable mid-range jumper and pure confidence. Liburd has a lot of length and natural athleticism that helps him find openings all over the floor. The Sagemont guard is just scratching the surface of his full potential and I think he is ready to breakout in a major way this fall.
2024 6-9 F Caleb Harrison – Pro One
Pro One came to play from the opening whistle in a win over SOH Elite on Saturday afternoon. Caleb Harrison stood out on a very smart and well-put-together squad. The 2024 6-foot-9 forward recorded 17 points in the game. He shot it at a high clip, finished around the rim and was very fundamental. Harrison is a good reliable big man out of Alabama Huntsville who earned offers from Richmond and Valparaiso this week.
2024 6-5 G Oliver Kokal – Gateway Knights
On Friday night, the Gateway Knights went toe to toe with a very athletic SOH Elite squad. In a tight loss, Oliver Kokal displayed a lot of heart and a ton of pure basketball IQ. The 2024 6-foot-5 guard is a gifted outside touch shooter, but what stood out, even more, was his ability to break down the defense for passes and lay-ins and dunks. The Missouri Parkway Central guard is one of the most underrated guys I saw all week.
2025 6-8 F Daniel Pauliukonis – Breakaway Basketball
One of the most intriguing versatile forwards I saw on the weekend was Daniel Pauliukonis. The 2025 6-foot-8 big was active from the jump in a win for Breakaway Basketball. He creates for others, is very good going downhill, plays hard and can really slash inside. Eastern Illinois extended an offer to the Illinois Benet Prep product late last month.
2027 6-4 G Dillon Callahan – Riverside Hawks
Playing up a grade, Dillon Callahan showed out for the Riverside Hawks with 19 points in a win over SOH Elite. The 2027 6-foot-4 guard is a physical athlete who has a consistent jumper and good touch on the attack. Callahan doesn’t play like an incoming freshman and his upside is very evident already at New York Iona Prep.
2026 6-2 G Stefan Frisby – SOH Elite
In an afternoon tilt, SOH Elite 15U had some bright standouts. 2026 6-foot-2 guard Stefan Frisby displayed a lot of athleticism, jumping ability and loves to create for others. In a loss to the Riverside Hawks, he totaled 14 points to lead his side. Frisby has the it factor and his mix of confidence and burst help him aplenty as a downhill attacker and floor pusher. He will be a main ballhandler at Western this fall.
2024 6-0 G Logan Suber – DC Premier
The do it all type point guards were in the gym at UA and Logan Suber was one of the feature guys. The 2024 6-foot DC Premier guard was very impressive in a win over B. Maze Elite on Friday. He has a rock solid handle, can go at you at the rim and dishes it out in transition and on the move. Suber produced 11 points but affected things on both ends of the floor all game. The Maryland Mt. Zion Prep athlete earned an offer from Lipscomb on Tuesday.
—2024 6-foot-5 guard Teyvien Barbour can find openings in the blink of an eye and didn’t miss on his first five 3-point attempts against B. Maze Elite. Barbour is a natural shooter who can hurt you in bunches if you lose sight of him.
2025 6-4 G Daniel Guandolo – Team Slay
In an overtime win over RL9, Daniel Guandolo came up clutch for his Team Slay group. The 2025 6-foot-4 guard racked up 26 points (six 3’s) in the victory and made big shots down the stretch. Guandolo has plus handles and body control. He understands floor spacing and has a quick release with a smooth jumper from behind the arc. Guandolo is in for a key role at North Carolina Charlotte Christian this fall.
Other notable performances:
2024 6-2 G Jett Montgomery (Stars Nashville) – Montgomery rarely makes mistakes and that was on display in a triple overtime win over ABC Spotlight. He racked up a team-best 21 points and saw the floor very well with jumpers and passes.
2025 6-5 G Jalin Holland (ABC Spotlight) – Offered by Oklahoma on Tuesday, Holland came to play all weekend long at the UA Finals. He totaled a game-high 27 points in the loss to Stars Nashville and did just about everything with his shot, attacking and push in transition. Holland has a bright future.
2024 6-3 G Jahvin Carter (B. Maze Elite) – A physical and crafty point man, Jahvin Carter led the charge all game long for B. Maze Elite in a loss on Saturday to DC Premier. The Penn State commit had 14 points and didn’t shy away from pressure offensively at all.
2024 6-1 G Nyziah Whaley (Stars Nashville) – The winning bucket came on a downhill attack from Whaley, who ended up with 13 points in the win over ABC Spotlight. He is a strong body that goes at you like a running back.
