As we continue our invites to The Basketball Movement Invitational 2020, more big-name high schoolers make appearances.
The Basketball Movement’s Robert Yanders has another wave of names for his annual Invitational Camp. Nationally ranked players, big name Missouri and Kansas standouts, and more are being invited to the most explosive camp for high school boys in the Midwest.
Let’s dive right into the next batch of invitees for The Basketball Movement Invitational 2020:
Chet Holmgren, Minnehaha Academy (MN): Regarded as one of the best high school players in the nation, Chet Holmgren is a 7’0” center with the game of a guard. Holmgren is currently not travelling due to personal reasons, but if that changes by mid-October, our doors will absolutely be open to him.
Chris Livingston, Akron Buchtel High: Kids from Akron know a thing or two about hoops, and Chris Livingston has the size, skill, and POWER to go with that basketball I.Q. At 6’6”, the SF is currently ranked number four in the nation by ESPN for 2022 players. His arrow is pointed straight up.
Grady Dick, Collegiate (Wichita): Another nationally ranked 2022 player, Grady Dick is a 6’7” forward that is as comfortable throwing down a windmill jam in the open court as he is making defenders pay by showing off his outside stroke. Dick holds offers from numerous Midwest D1 programs including Kansas, K-State, and Creighton.
Kanon Gipson, Logan-Rogersville: A veteran of The Basketball Movement Invitational, Kanon Gipson is a known sniper that can make it rain on opponents. Gipson is always a threat with the rock in hands; he has the ability to distribute as well as score from anywhere on the floor.
Connor Killion, East Newton: Another vet of The Invitational, Connor Killion has the size and skill to complement any team he plays on. Currently boasting a full-ride offer to play for Navy, the dangerous scorer and competitor only needs opportunity to continue to raise his stock.
Jack Chapman, Blue Valley NW (Overland Park): A 6’7” guard, Jack Chapman is one of the top players in the state of Kansas. Chapman uses his size to punish smaller players down low or to shoot over them from deep. His versatility makes him a threat to score from anywhere and his high-motor playstyle makes him a nightmare on the offensive glass.
Matt Cleveland, Pace Academy (GA): A Florida State commit, 6’6” Matt Cleveland is ranked number 35 on ESPN’s Top 100. Cleveland earns his ranking with his combination of size and skill. Already boasting a pro frame, you don’t want to jump with this kid. He is a big-time scorer and willing defender.
Zach Clemence, Sunrise Christian Academy (KS): A 6’10” forward out of Kansas, Zach Clemence is ranked number 43 on ESPN’s Top 100. He is able to go to work in the paint, but his ability to stretch the floor and distribute make him special. Verbally committed to continue hooping at Kansas, the future is bright for the young star.
Mark Mitchell, Bishop Miege High (KS): Another Kansas standout, Mark Mitchell is ranked 20th by ESPN among 2022 players. At 6’8”, he already boasts scholarship offers from North Carolina, Kansas, and K-State among others. If Mitchell is on the court, he’s dunking. The sky is the limit for the 2022 stud.
David Hill, St. John Neumann (PA): Brother of Alize Johnson of the Indiana Pacers, David Hill is a 6’1” combo guard with the skills and basketball I.Q. to make big strides this year. Handles, vision, and a smooth shot mean that he can blend seamlessly into any scheme and be an impact player with or without the ball.
Javonte “JJ” Taylor, Kentwood High (Chicago): One of the top 2023 players in the nation, JJ Taylor is a versatile 6’7” player with star potential. Already able to score at all three levels, his athleticism is what will soon be bringing him to highlight reels near you. With proper guidance, this kid could go all the way to the top.
Omarion Henry, Normandy High (StL): A willing defender and and crazy athlete in a 6’7” frame, Omarion Henry has all the tools to be a D1 impact player. Currently a bit underrated, Henry is exactly the kind of player that needs to head over to The Basketball Movement Invitational. Lets boost some stock.
Joshua Minott, St. Andrews School (FL): Memphis commit, Josh Minott is 6’8” 195lbs of pure hooper. If he catches a defender with a crossover, it is time for everyone else to get out of the way. Memphis landed a sleeper with a chip on his shoulder.
Tommy Pinegar, Greenwood Academy: An excellent compliment to nationally ranked teammate, Aminu Mohhamed, Tommy Pinegar has the ability to stretch the floor like few other players in the Springfield, MO area. Defenders cannot afford to help off when Pinegar is looming beyond the perimeter.
Steven Clay, Menomonee Falls (WI): One of the top prospects out of Wisconsin, Steven Clay is a 6’4” shooting guard with D1 offers from Maryland and Wisconsin-Milwaukee. A 2022 standout from Phenom University-Team Herro, Clay has a great jumper and the ability to finish around the rim with finesse beyond his years.

Logan Landers, Cedarburg (WI): Another Phenom U-Team Herro player, Logan Landers is a 6’10” big man with the athleticism to switch and remain largely positionless on the floor. Landers has been recruited by Bill Self and Kansas in addition to multiple other D1 programs. He has the size to bang down low and the touch to score from anywhere.
