The 2017 SEBA Atlanta College Showcase took
place this past Saturday on the campus of Oglethorpe University in Atlanta.
This 13th annual exposure event featured a full capacity roster of 220
prospects. The prospects represented many high school programs from all parts
of Georgia, as well as from the states of Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, South
Carolina, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Illinois. The Showcase continued the
SEBA tradition of providing excellent exposure to all of the participants, as a large collection of College Coaches representing schools from throughout the nation were in
attendance to evaluate the talent on hand. Several Regional scouting
publications were also on hand to cover the event.
The Camp consisted of a complete day of instruction,
inspiration, competition, and exposure. During the morning session, the players

some of the state’s top high school, travel ball, and skill development
coaches. Following the morning station, the players were treated to a super
passionate and inspirational speech from Coach Courtney Brooks. Fresh off the inspiration, the
players moved into 5-on-5 play, where they competed in three (3) full-court

Titus Brown (6’ 0, PG, Franklin County; 2020) is definitely a young guard to watch out of Northeast Georgia. He has a scorer’s mentality and good playmaking ability. He showed good quickness on both ends of the floor and did many things to put his team in position to win. Keondre Williams (6’ 2, SG, Metter; 2019) is a nice prospect with a good all-around game. He has good quickness, and explosive first step, and plays with a non-stop motor. Charleston Willingham (6’ 0, SG, Woodville Tompkins; 2019) had a breakout Junior season for Class A power Woodville Tompkins, where he was named as the Region Player of Year. He continued that momentum into camp where used his big motor and athleticism to make an impression. He has a very quick first step and great slashing ability. He also knocked down a healthy share of outside jumpers. CJ Riley (6’ 1, CG, St. Francis; 2018) is a good looking guard who played an important role for Class A State finalist St. Francis this past season. The Junior guard is athletic and showed a very nice looking three point and mid-range shot. He is also a threat to attack the rim and once in the paint, he knows how to finish. Tay Howard (6’ 3, SG, East Jackson; 2019) is long guard with skill and versatility. A 1st Team All-Region selection this past season, he does many things well on both ends of the floor and is a 3.7 GPA student. Definite prospect for Coaches to put on their radar going into the Spring & Summer.
2018 & 2019 Wings
Anthony Newsome (6’ 4, Wing, Stephenson; 2018) is a physical and strong framed wing who was effective from both mid-range and in the paint. He brings good energy and the ability to play lock down defense and crash the boards hard. Anthony was a 1st Team All-Region player for a Stephenson squad that won 20 games this year. Jeremiah Sanabria (6’ 5, Wing-Forward, Allatoona; 2019) is a versatile forward who played his way onto the watch list of a number of schools at the camp. He can slash from the wing as well as bang in the paint. He has a solid face-up game and is a strong rebounder and interior defender. He demonstrated good athleticism with a couple of impressive above the rim finishes. Preston Crisp (6’ 4, Wing, Woodville-Tompkins; 2019) is a blooming prospect out of Savannah who had a very good Junior season. He uses his length and athleticism to his advantage while slicing to the rim for buckets. He is above average defender and rebounds well from the wing position. While still developing, the talent is there for him to be a special player. Isaac Hulin (6’ 3, Wing, Oglethorpe County; 2018) is a physical inside-out wing who is a tough rebounder and defender. A career 1000 point scorer, he is a very strong finisher in the paint and plays with purpose. He has a knack for being around the ball and creating second chance opportunities for his team. In addition to the Stockbridge players mentioned above, both Ocean Scott (6’ 2, Wing, Stockbridge; 2018) and Kaelon Hinton (6’ 4, Wing, Stockbridge; 2019) were two additional Tigers who had good showings. Hinton is good athlete who runs the floor well in transition and is a versatile defender. Scott is a ferocious competitor who plays much larger than his height. He is an excellent rebounder and major intangibles guy. He does a lot of things that don’t show up in the scorebook but help make a team successful. Ty Nails (6’ 5, Wing, Stephens County; 2019) is an athletic wing with a really bright future. “Finisher” is the first word that comes to mind when describing his game, as he showed the ability to score at the rim in both half court set and in transition. He also kept the defense honest by knocking down some long jumpers. Averaged 17 ppg and 8 boards on way to All-Region honors as a Junior. Christian Kelly (6’ 4, Wing, Duluth; 2018) is a long wing guard with a lot of talent. Although streaky, when he is focused and locked in, he is a tremendous offense threat capable of putting up big points in a short period of time. He is an excellent shooter off the dribble and has deep range on his three point shot. Will be a nice pickup for a Juco program needing perimeter scoring punch.
