WCE Rising Stars camp a Class of 2021 showcase

HENDERSON, Nev. – Some of the outstanding prospects from the high school Class of 2021 were among those in attendance during the West Coast Elite Basketball/Rising Stars Invitational held Saturday and Sunday at Coronado High.

There were approximately 60 players in attendance, with the bulk of those soon-to-be sophomores.

Many of the better players were members of the West Coast Elite and Texas Hard Work club programs.

Noteworthy among them were Class of 2021 members in 6-foot-5 Kevin “K.J.” Adams (Austin St. Andrew’s Episcopal) and 6-4 Langston Love (Cibolo Byron Steele), each a member of the Texas Hard Work 17U squad that played in the UAA Finals earlier in the week, as well as 6-10 Nathan Bittle (Central Point, OR, Crater), who played for the WCE NorCal 16U team.

Love hit a lot of deep jumpers in the camp games I watched Saturday night, as did Adams (PICTURED) – who also cranked out the largest number of emphatic dunks in the two games he played.

Bittle has a collection of athletic and basketball skills you don’t see in his kid at that size and age (he’s still 14 years old).

Other 2021 prospects that very quickly caught my attention Saturday included 6-5 Nigel Burris (San Francisco Stuart Hall), 6-3 Joseph Venzant (Midland, TX, Christian), 6-2 Mike Mitchell (San Jose, CA, Mitty), 6-foot Coleton Benson (Austin, TX, Bowie) and 6-1 Joey Longo (Mission Viejo, CA. Trabuco Hills).

Class of 2020 members who impressed included 6-6 Nakial Cross (San Diego St. Augustine) and 6-3 Dillon Depina (Northridge, CA, Heritage Christian).
