Yanders Law at UAA Finals

Yanders Law (boys 17u) wrapped up their UA Rise Circuit and UAA Championship bracket tour with several impressive wins.

Going 3-2 in the UAA Championship bracket, Yanders Law Basketball has proven that it belongs among the elite. At the UAA Finals, the 17u Yanders Law squad toppled WE R1 before suffering a pair of unfortunate losses to D Premier and Nebraska Supreme. However, the team got to finish with a couple of wins over Atlanta Xpress and Houston Superstars.

To make it to the UAA Finals, Yanders Law had to rise above the competition and earn the right, besting big-market teams in UA Rise. After successful stints in Atlanta and Dallas, the team was ready to face the tough competition that awaited in Indianapolis.

In many ways, things went as planned. Zach Howell (6’5 G/F) has officially broken out as an alpha dog on offense and has expanded his repertoire in ways even he may not have believed possible only a few years prior. In addition, Jonathan Dunn (6’7 F) and Sincere Malone (6’8 G/F) have been proven monsters on the boards and got the opportunity to showcase their all-around game.

Cam Liggins (6’4 G) showed he is the capable offensive weapon he always has been but has also broken out as a defensive stud. Logan Applegate (6’2 G) and Kanon Gipson (6’3 G) were steady as ever with their playmaking while keeping defenses honest with their shooting strokes. Elijah Whitley (6’3 G) punished opposing guards with his athleticism, Corey Williams Jr. (6’2 G) showed he could do a lot more than shoot, and Tyler Harmon (6’2 G) proved to everyone that he belongs with his defense and range.

You cannot win every game, but the showing in the Under Armor Circuit this summer by Yanders Law can only be considered a victory. This has been a building block for the program, which continues to grow and impress with each passing year.

Yanders Law alumni are flourishing, the up-and-comers are gaining more exposure than ever, and the future remains blindingly bright.

Stay tuned to The Basketball Movement and Yanders Law going forward. These players were able to play in front of nearly one hundred collegiate programs over the past few weeks, and we anticipate a few phone calls in these young men’s futures.

Cam Liggins (2022) continues to dominate

Over the last few weeks, 2022 guard, Cameron Liggins has been lighting up the competition and opening eyes around the country.

6 foot 4 athletic wing, Cameron Liggins just finished up dropping a 40-piece on a Nike NYBL squad. If anyone is surprised, they have not been paying attention. Liggins has had big games this weekend against Illinois Wolves, All Ohio, and then the 40 point, 15 rebound game against Team Thad.

Cam Liggins has a great body for a perimeter player. He can drill the three, runs well, and has become a terrific downhill attacker.

He currently holds an offer from Western Illinois. Liggins has previously received interest from Oklahoma State, Montana State, and Texas State, but his Yanders Law coach, Rob Yanders has been taking calls from several new coaches this weekend following his impressive performances.

Liggins is presently slated to attend We Are United Prep this fall. His stock had been rising but is likely to spike with his current level of play. Stay tuned!
