Eli brings a smooth style that’s lethal and electric. His court vision is elite., his handles are strong even under pressure, and he delivers with confidence when the lights burn brightest. What separates Eli is how clutch he becomes in crunch time, never rattled, always ready. He’s a versatile guard who plays with poise and purpose, attacking with a high IQ and staying in control no matter the moment. His shooting stroke is pure, and his energy on defense shows that he takes pride in both ends. Coaches can count on Eli to run the offense, calm the chaos, and lead with his voice and effort. He’s a true competitor, learning how to be a floor general while keeping that chip on his shoulder and it shows every time he steps on the court.

This season, Eli averaged 10.2 points, 2.3 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 34% from three and 85% at the line in 25 minutes per game. The biggest improvement was on the defensive side, mainly his on-ball pressure and bringing more grit to the fight. The weight room has become a key focus, as he works to build strength and transition into a full-time point guard role. His most memorable moment was hitting a game-winner against their biggest rival, a moment that validated his growth and mental toughness. Now playing AAU for Palmetto Pride on the Puma Circuit, Eli is pushing to evolve, improve his leadership, and that first college offer. He’s especially fired up for the live period, where he plans to show coaches what he’s truly capable of.

Next season, Eli is looking to elevate again, take control, lead with confidence, and show the entire state the type of player he’s becoming. Defense is his fire whether it’s forcing a 5-second call or taking a charge, he thrives on the plays that shift momentum and deflate the opponent. He handles adversity with poise, always focused on what he can control. That even-keeled maturity, combined with a 4.0 GPA and tireless work ethic, makes Eli the type of player every program wants. And the best coaching advice he’s ever gotten is, “Stay coachable, no matter the highs or the lows.” .

I assess that Eli’s elite composure, high IQ, and ability to deliver in pressure situations make him a valuable asset to any college program. His dedication to developing as a true point guard, paired with a polished offensive skill set and competitive spirit, will translate well at the next level.

With his work ethic, defensive drive, and steady rise in confidence, Eli has all the tools to blossom into a trusted floor leader. Expect continued growth in both leadership and production as he enters the spotlight with a hunger to prove he belongs at the next level. Stay tuned.
