Dallas Showtyme Elite is coming off a Championship (Elite 36) less than a week ago and there is some buzz of the next guard in the Gorilla Family. Who is he? Is he ready to perform with the lights of the Great American Shoot-Out on? Stay tuned!

2. IS AN EIGHTH GRADER READY TO STEP UP IN THE NBA?

Basketball Univeristy 16s will be traveling from Houston to take part in the GASO and Greg Brown is part of the class of 2020. Only one or two players in recent memory have lived up to the hype and the challenge at such an early age in the NBA Division.

3. QUENTIN GRIMES TOP 5, BUT IS HE HIGHER?

Class of 2018 Quentin Grimes (Basketball University-AG) is ready to jump into the top five, but is he a top three contender? We say he is and the TexasHoops.com/GASO Staff is ready to see the sophomore throughout the weekend.

4. D1 PREMIER HALL: DO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT STUFF?

In April, D1 Premier Hall fought their way through a non-super pool to claim a title in the Great American Shoot-Out "NCAA OPEN PERIOD". Now, all suited up, the Hall squad is ready to take the court and take on the challenge of a super pool. How will they fair?

5. IS KEVIN SAMUEL READY TO DOMINATE AGAIN?

Kevin Samuel of All 4 Sports Dream team was spectacular during the GASO April "NCAA Open Event". That weekend solidified him as the best big man in the state. How will the 6-foot-10 prospect do now that he has the label?

6. MARCUS GARRETT, ENOUGH SAID?

Swaghouse's Marcus Garrett made a huge leap into the top 10 (current No.8 in TexasHoops.com Rankings) back in March, now the hybrid guard is going to move up more, but how much? This weekend will be fun to watch Garrett.

7. AKILI VINING, IS HE STILL A SLEEPER?

FV 5:17's point guard Akili Vining was pinpointed as a sleeper back in March by TexasHoops.com. He has picked up interest from a Sunbelt program, so what will he do in the GASO? How far can he lead FV 5:17?

8. CAN KORTRIJK GO THE EXTRA MILE?

Kortrijk Miles has a 4A State Title under his belt, and MVP honors -so is the senior to be still capitalizing on his success of March?

9. DOES SABO HAVE ANOTHER RUN IN THEM?

SABO Gold is in the habit of collecting GASO Championships, and the 2017 group finished the spring in San Antonio with a title. SABO won two out of three spring tournaments, so who will stop them from winning another?

10. GATA V, GOTTA KNOW IF THEY CAN WIN ANOTHER, SO CAN THEY?

The San Antonio-based GATA V won the NCAA Division in San Antonio two weeks ago to close out the spring Great American Shoot-Out Circuit, but now they head to the metroplex. Is this team ready to take the next step?
