Holiday Hoopsgiving Standouts Day 1

It might be Thanksgiving weekend, but basketball never stops. While most basketball fans are watching college hoops this weekend, On3 is down in Atlanta, Georgia for the 10th annual Holiday Hoopsgiving to check out the next wave of talent.

This two-day event hosted at Kipp Atlanta Collegiate presents us with some local Georgia teams like McEachern, Wheeler, Grayson, Pace Academy, and several others, along with some national powers such as Wasatch Academy (UT), Dream City Christian (AZ), So Cal Academy (CA), Huntington Prep (WV), Combine Academy (NC), Christopher Columbus (FL), and others.

Here are your standouts from Friday.

On3 MVP: Five-Star Plus+ PF Cameron Boozer

Unsurprisingly, Cameron Boozer really impressed on Friday. At 6-foot-9, he really showed off his shotmaking ability. In the first quarter, he knocked down back to back threes, and a tough pull up jump shot. An absolutely dominant presence in the paint as well. A skilled passer too. The Columbus (FL) star got wherever he wanted, when he wanted.

Boozer finished with a game high 40 points and 10 rebounds. He was also a perfect 11-11 from the free throw line.

Miami, Kentucky, Duke, and Florida have hosted him on official visits.

Boozer is ranked as the No. 2 overall player in the 2025 On3 Industry Rankings.

2. Five-Star Plus+ SF Ace Bailey (Rutgers)

Ace Bailey really popped in the early going on Friday night. At 6-10, he was knocking down his three point shot with ease. The Rutgers signee of McEachern (GA) cooled a bit in the second half but he is just dripping in potential and has the highest of upside. He was taking and making NBA type of shots. Also, an underrated passer.

He finished with 31 points on four of nine from three.

Bailey is ranked as the No. 2 overall player in the 2024 On3 Industry Rankings.

3. Five-Star Plus+ PF Caleb Wilson

Caleb Wilson is quite an impressive prospect. At 6-9, he can put the ball on the deck and also step out and shoot the three. He also gets his teammates involved and is an unselfish player. Strong performance from Holy Innocents (GA) star.

Finished with a game high 25 points and 18 rebounds.

Kentucky, Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Stanford, and Alabama have hosted him on recent visits.

Wilson is ranked as the No. 5 overall player in the 2025 On3 Industry Rankings.

4. Four-Star SG Ikenna Alozie

Ikenna Alozie might only be a sophomore but you’d never know it. The 2026 Dream City Christian (AZ) guard has a strong build with elite burst. Really impressed on the defensive end, getting in the passing lane, and his overall motor stood out. Rebounds well for a guard. The native of Nigeria is a really athletic and confident player. Very impressive performance overall today. Tracking as one of the top guards in his class. Won’t be a four-star for long.

Finished his first game with 18 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and two steals.

Kansas, Creighton, Villanova, Oregon, and UCLA are among his early offers.

Ranked as the No. 13 overall player in the 2026 On3 Industry Rankings.

5. Four-Star SG John Mobley (Ohio State)

It’s nothing new, but Ohio State signee John Mobley can absolutely light it up from deep. The 2024 Wasatch Academy (UT) guard can hit some tough shots and has a high IQ. Has a beautiful shooting stroke and can also get his teammates involved.

Finished this one with 17 points, four assists, and two steals.

Ranked as the No. 48 overall player in the 2024 On3 Industry Rankings.

6. Four-Star SG Jamari Phillips (Arizona)

It wasn’t his day shooting the ball, but Arizona signee Jamari Phillips still managed to put 18 points on the board for Dream City Christian (AZ). The 6-4 senior has a voice on the court and has leadership skills. He communicated well on defense as well.

Ranked as the No. 28 overall player in the 2024 On3 Industry Rankings.

7. Four-Star SF Naas Cunningham (Alabama)

Naas Cunningham played with confidence and energy for So Cal Academy. The Alabama signee knocked down shots and a couple of threes. Also had a nice putback dunk in the fourth quarter. Got to his spots well and rebounded at a high level. Finished with 17 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists.

Ranked as the No. 44 overall player in the 2024 On3 Industry Rankings.

Cunningham’s teammate, Martin Somerville, also had a good game. A strong guard that has feel for the game. He also had 17 points.

8. UR PF Amir Taylor

Amir Taylor impressed me on Friday night. The Grayson (GA) big man has a strong feel for the game, rebounds well, and has good touch around the rim. He knows who he is and plays his role well. Has good hands, footwork, and demonstrated the ability to step out and knock down a jumper. Holds offers from Georgia Tech, Georgia, Kennesaw State, and others.

He finished with 22 points and seven rebounds.

Taylor is currently unranked in the 2025 On3 Industry Rankings.

9. Four-Star SF Jacob Wilkins (Georgia)

Last, but certainly not list is Jacob Wilkins. He is a pogo stick. The Grayson (GA) small forward’s athleticism is off the charts. The Georgia commit and son of NBA Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins is a lob threat, rebounds well, and can protect the rim. Elite upside on both ends of the ball.

He finished with an efficient 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Wilkins is currently ranked as the No. 23 overall player in the 2025 On3 Industry Rankings.
