Gerard "Whoodie" Mungo Posturizes Defender with Baseline Dunk at the Middle School Hoops TV Camp
Gerard "Whoodie" Mungo is a strong and physical scorer. He can get to the rim in transition as well as in the half court. He simply power drives through defenders where he can finish at a high rate or draw the foul. "Whoodie" also proving that he can make mid range shots off the catch or dribble with range to about 17 feet consistently. Gerard who was in attendance in Indiana this past weekend also proved and can score big numbers in a short period of time when he is in the flow - he put on display a fundamentally sound handle, showed great count vision; long an under rated passer mainly because he is such an excellent scorer Mungo is growing into a more complete player and combo guard each time we see him.
He can drive draw and kick from anywhere on the floor and plays with great confidence and urgency at all times as well. If there were an award for the player with the most heart "Whoodie" win the award hands down - the St. Frances guard is the ultimate teammate.
With an energizer motor and a growing and diversifying skill set; Gerard showed us something we haven't seen before - he showed the country at the Middle School Hoops TV Camp that he has added the "facial" to his bag of tricks; check it out above as "Whoodie" goes up, over, and through his defender delivering one of the most impressive dunks of the weekend!

By MSHTV
The Class of 2022 is really shaping up nationally and this game gave fans a quick look at the top talent on this side of the country. Jarace Walker is in the discussion for the top player in the country. Francisco Mattei was a beast in this game and continued his hard nosed play throughout the weekend at the BBall Spotlight Future Phenom Camp. Jaden Johnson couldn't be stopped using a combination of three pointers and his ability to slice into the lane.

Samartine "Fatman" Bogues Generation Next
“Fatman” one of the few lead guards in the youth game that
looks to set-up teammates first, then shoot. Bogues decision-making is bordering
on flawless nowadays and his assist to turnover ratio is becoming stuff of
legends. He is at his best in the open court, either delivering a nifty pass,
finishing in the paint, and has no added a very solid mid-range pull-up.
He already had a deadly crossover which is getting even
craftier, which leaves would-be defenders chasing him down. His catch and shoot
as well as his jump shot off the bounce is improving each time we see him and
is 100% better mechanically and percentage wise than last year. As he continues
to get stronger, look for his outside shot to become more consistent from
distance – see how complete a player “Fatman” has become (below) as he
showcased his talents at the Basketball Spotlight Future Phenom Camp and
Buckeye Prep Showcase.

2015 Coach Francis Classic Game & Class of 2019 Participant Player Evaluations
Casey Morsell – Morsell is a future true point guard with
size that can push the ball at varied speeds and can get to where ever he wants
on the court to score off the dribble and set up teammates. He likes the spin
move to get by the second defender before he completes an acrobatic finish with
excellent body control. Casey’s handle is tight and fluid and he is a willing
passer with excellent court vision and feel for the game. He is a terrific
drive, draw and kick passer. Casey can score going to the rim while making it
look easy. Casey is also a solid on ball defender.
Demon Clowney – One of two 2020’s competing in the Coach
Francis Classic Clowney is a skilled combo forward at this point. He is a long
and a solid athlete. Depending on how much he grows he could play both
positions as a collegian. Demon is a
solid face up shooter with range to 15 feet. He is good enough now to score on
his own in the low post. He can spin off his defender in the post or score some
over his left shoulder. Clowney is quickly improving on his catching and
shooting. He is an excellent rebounder. He uses his length and athletic ability
to grab rebounds outside of his area. Clowney is also a solid post defender
that uses his size and length to disrupt and block shots defensively.
Will Thomas – An explosive left handed scorer with a legit
long range jumper beyond the arc out to 22 feet. Thomas has a built in desire
to be considered the best at his position; in order to achieve that status at
the 2-Guard - one cannot get ready to score the basketball one must be ready to
score the basketball. Thomas possesses that mind set which puts tremendous
pressure on any defense. His frame is long and lanky while his dribble is low
and quick which allows him to beat his man. Once inside the painted area his
soft touch and body control with length making him a great finisher; we like
his ability to finish at the rim and get to the FT line where he shoot s solid
percentage. Thomas is an able rebounder with his strong body and athletic
ability. He has the ability to take over games offensively and has a solid
skill package.
Logan Curtis – This young man is a prospect who is turning
himself into a player. By that we mean one can see the natural talent and his improving
confidence over the past year is yielding more production. Has a tremendous
wing frame and his scoring package is diverse. He's got game to three-point
range. Off the bounce Curtis will go to the rim and attempt to impose his will.
Valuable offensive player who could be a No. 1 option at Calvert Hall at some
point; but definitely fits in as a secondary option the day he walks on campus.
Good athlete, above-average speed, plenty of size for his position.
Christian DePollar – Love him more every time we see him. Solid
wing that gets after it on both ends; owns a lefty stroke that extends to
three-point range. Has a live body and is a rangy defender who knows how to use
his length. His willingness to mix it up
in the paint takes his game to the next level and he has the potential to be a
bigtime scorer (not just a shooter) with continued work and dedication. Tools and demeanor are there for him to be a
top prospect. Plain and simple he's a good
basketball player with a high ceiling.
Gerard Mungo – “Whoodie” is an explosive combo-guard that can get anywhere he wants off the dribble. He is much more scorer than facilitator, but he affects the game in multiple ways. He is slippery while maneuvering his way to the basket and he has a variety of ways of finishing. He is quite potent in the mid-range area with the use of the two-dribble pull-up or he has that burst and length to get to the rim. Plays with the heart of a champion and is the consummate teammate. We believe that Gerard is still an under the radar prospects and he has played with elite talent for years. Due to his frame, athleticism, he must be considered major talent.
Anwar Gill – Gill is developing into an aggressive scorer with high skill and excellent athletic ability. With terrific size for the wing; he is shown the ability knocks down the three point shots with consistency on the break or catch and using screening action in the half court. When he puts the ball on the floor he can get all the way to the rim and score or find an open player. He has really good length and a great basketball body that should continue to fill out. His skill level is what separates him and the chip on the shoulder that tell him he will be one of the best when it’s all said and done.
Austin Allison – The 2nd 2020 playing up in the event; Allison is a true shooting guard that can make jumpers to the arc and straight line mid-range pull ups. He has a smooth confident stroke and is a good ball handler and passer as well. He must add strength, rebound more and become a better at getting his own shot but Allison has great upside and is capable of getting hot and putting up excellent numbers. A nice looking stroke and is very confident in his ability to make open shots and pull ups over defenders. Austin does a good job of running the wing on the break, coming off screen and spacing to the open area on dribble penetration where he is shot ready on the catch. Allison also has a good basketball IQ and can deliver the ball to an open teammate when he draws a second defender. He is a good straight line ball handler as well who competes and plays with toughness.
Jordan Hairston – This is a big time player who's managed to fly somewhat below the national radar. Loyal kid so he's stuck with his AAU team and teammates when he could have starred elsewhere. A competitive fire burns strong and the thinking here is that he's a Top prospect in the area now and long-term is more than realistic, impact point guard and sure-fire all-league potential. There's lots to like about Hairston; has size, speed, strength and a diverse offensive game to augment his court vision and natural playmaking abilities. A good, not great 3-point shooter, Jordan uses his speed to create chances off the bounce. His pull-up jump shot is a big weapon. As a creator, he easily gets into the lane and will finish or find shooters. Improving leader and shows savvy enough to dive to the post and abuse guards when its advantageous. Intelligent young man on and off the court and it shows in his play. Extremely important for his position is the handle and he owns a very unique and tight one.
Jamel Melvin – An incredibly talented young player, with a
world of potential - frankly once he reaches 6’10, Melvin has as much long term
potential as any player in the class of 2019. He stands a legitimate 6'8"
with tools that will allow him to play face up basketball and the versatility
to guard potentially 3 different positions on the floor. He has the
complete. Physically, he has great
agility for his size, a pretty strong and developing frame, and solid
athleticism. Like a raw steak, we know
it looks good but we know it will be even better when served perfectly cooked with
a loaded potato on the side.
Mahki Long – Long is a terrific shooting guard that can
score to the arc and with his smooth middle game. He also uses his ability to
shoot the ball to help him get shots for teammates when he attacks multiple
defenders. Mahki has great size, skill and feel for the game. He can get on a
role and knock down jumpers with great accuracy. Mahki can also play the point-forward
in a pinch but he seems to think and operate more like a shooting guard. Big
time size and talented perimeter player - On dribble penetration he finds the
open area of the floor for penetrate and kicks, and can really knock them down
when his feet are set. In the half court set he knows how to use screens and good footwork
allows him to get shot ready once he clears the screen. Defensively, Long has
the size and length to lock down on perimeter players. He can give smaller guys a
little space while using his length to contest shots or use his physicality to
push guys off screens to the perimeter. A above average rebounder at his position,
Long has a good knack for knowing where the ball is going off the rim and
getting there often creating second chances for himself or teammates.
Marvin Price – His body will take him places. He's got
length, wide shoulders and size for a high-major wing. The range on his jumper was above average and
he has produced consistently off the catch. He doesn’t torch as a primary function
of his game; but has shown the ability to take over and do so in the flow of
the game. Clearly one of the top wing forwards out there. He's not over-hyped Price
is the real deal. He can score the ball
and always tries to finish with power – winning is most important priority.
Makhi Mitchell – One of the top overall prospects in
America. There's no reason to think he can't be an All-American and all-pro
someday; he's got that ceiling. He'll wear the 'top 25' slot for a lot of years
in high school and he'll be a marked man under constant scrutiny. His
reputation as a tough player and hard worker will aid him as he hopes to
improve and stave off competition for his slot.
He loves to catch on the blocks or extended, face and weigh his options.
Not afraid to go glass and can drive it from mid-range going either way.
Basically, he's a real problem. When he needs to, he can explode and is a
conscientious rebounder. His touch around the rim and ability to leap multiple
times is begin to display itself. The young man has counters and power moves.
If he likes his matchup, he'll dive right to the blocks and set up shop. There
isn't a spot on the floor where he can't begin his drive package. Likes the
baseline too and will hit high-arching fadeaways. Owns a motor and once an
affinity for playing hard becomes his addiction scouts may OD on his talent.
Jason Murphy – He's one of those lengthy front court
prospects. Has the athletic ability to go get it off the glass, will even make
tips at the rim. His face-up game is of
the catch and shoot variety at this point; and has developed a reputation for
attempting to dunk anything and everything that he can – a great mental mindset.
Let's call him what he is: a guy with a significant upside, the kind that you would
be smart to believe in. This is a top-prospect.
He has all the physical markers and his athleticism is improving each time we
see him. He's a talent, and one will
have to watch closely.
EJ Jarvis – This is a kid who is raw but coming on and
quickly. The smooth combo-forward has all the physical tools but that's not why
he's going to make it big. In addition to the tools, size and athleticism he has
coordination, explosion and an uncommon agility and feel. For a 6’8 baby he's
got super touch to mid-range. He eats rebounds and collects blocks. With both
hands he finishes around the rim. Each time we've seen him on the court he's
gotten more aggressive. If you watch him in drills you'll quickly notice that
he handles the ball with more fluidity and natural basketball acumen than many
guards. This kid is a worker. He's intelligent, committed and sees the big
picture. He has the desire and ability to actually max out his potential.
Malik Anderson – A point guard prospect that has great upside. He has spectacular court vision combined with a high level of athleticism and a non-stop motor that is most apparent on the defensive end. He is shifty with the ball inside the arc splitting defenders and finishing with either hand at the rim or feeding the open man. Standing at 6’0 h he plays bigger than his height and does a good job of probing defenses and pinpointing his pass to set up a score or shooting a floater or mid-range pull-up. Has the potential/skill to be a scoring one but also the vision and IQ to be a big time facilitator. His drive game, passing ability, and versatility make Anderson a top prospect in 2019 and a major talent to watch.
Makhel Mitchell - While Makhel’s body and skill set continue to develop at a rapid rate, his long term potential and upside are undeniable. He has all the physical intangibles (extraordinarily long arms, strength, and improving bounce) scouts look for in a high-level prospect. He is an innate scorer who can work off the dribble out the 3-point line; but also play back to the basket and middle game basketball. In addition, he had a number of high-level finishes through contact while slashing to the basket off the bounce. He possesses a strong frame that continues to stretch out which includes big hands and feet that are not done growing. His physical tools are becoming elite status and he is still growing into his body. Versatility and ability to create his own shot off the dribble at his size make him unique in his class. His handle is a weapon and we just don't see that often with players at his age and size. He can be a facilitator at times with his increased understanding of the game. Add to the mix a steady rebounder that shows a nose for the ball coming off the glass.
Jay Heath – Heath is a comb guard w/ great length and a
ton of explosion to his game. His speed w/ the basketball is off the charts
as he is able to push the ball from end to end in the blink of an eye and
equally explosive with his first step when attacking in the half-court set. His
speed and length also makes him a tremendous defender, both on and off the
ball, as he can dart into passing lanes from out of nowhere or lock up opposing
ball-handlers. Physically, he has ideal size for his position that enables him
to see over the defense. While he must
shoot the ball more consistently to space the court in order to maximize his
tools, Jay is a great prospect for moving to the point because of his great
size, length, and the major burst to his game. He will have to learn the PG
position but doing so could pay big dividends for him and future.
Anthony Harris - There may not be a more polished scoring
lead guard out of the DMV than the versatile Harris. He affects the game on
multiple levels, especially on the defensive end. His jump shot has improved
and he has a terrific pull-up game as well. What sets him apart from other
prospects is his feel (great passer) for the game. Harris' skill level,
savvy, and knack of slithering his way to the rim is unmatched – the kid as a
chance at 6’5+ period.
Justin Moore - Moore is special because he contributes to
his team even when he is not scoring which makes him even more valuable. For
example he possesses a feel and vision for when to score and when to keep the
ball moving. This is evident by how he passes the ball quickly and early when
reading his defender and a defense. He has improved his athletic ability so
much in recent months and it now matches his solid skill. Everyone loves those
players that can just "go get you a bucket" and Mr. Moore is one of
those players.
