Team Rio has a combination of 2019 guards Bryan Antoine, Jalen Gaffney, and Aidan Igiehon all playing well. They went 3-1 as Antoine led with 11.8 points, Gaffney had 11.5 points and Igiehon averaged 11.3 points per contest. Igiehon finished with 6.5 rebounds per contest while Antoine was right behind him with 5.5 rebounds per game.
Antoine has generated a lot of interests from some of the top programs with offers from Duke, Kentucky and Villanova under his belt, among others. Gaffney earned an offer from Xavier University for his efforts. Igiehon is climbing up the ranks after earning an offer from Florida over the weekend. Stanford, Oregon, USC and Louisville are also pursuing the 6-foot-10 big man.
2020 combo guard R.J. Hampton led all scorers with 24.5 points and passers with 6.5 assists per game in Session 1. He also averaged 5.0 rebounds and 2.8 steals.
He’s generated interest from the top programs and may be down to a final three of Duke, Texas and Kansas in the early going.
