The Geico Top Flight Invite kicked off on Friday night with teams from as far as Virginia taking part in the event. Here's a look at the standouts from Day 1.

1 Shaedon Sharpe, 6'5 Guard/Wing, Dream City (Kentucky Commit)
Shaedon Sharpe was one of the top performers of the day for Dream City in their 85-69 victory over Vertical Academy. He showed his composure in letting the game come to him as he put up 24 points, nine rebounds, two blocks, two steals and two steals while shooting 10-of-15 from the field and 3-of-7 from 3-point range.

It's very easy to see why he's the No. 1 rated prospect in ESPN's Class of 2022 national rankings with his smooth game, athleticism and shooting stroke. He's also quite the presence on the defensive end as he made plays at the rim defensively as well. He was the No. 1 standout on Day 1.

2 Adem Bona, 6'10 Forward/Center, Prolific Prep, 2022
Adem Bona was one of the biggest burdens in the frontcourt on Day 1 of the Geico Top Flight Invite. He was all over the stat sheet in Prolific Prep's 88-79 victory over Hoop Nation (CA). He finished with 19 points, 17 rebounds, five blocks and a steal, showing off his ability to use his length in a variety of ways in the paint.

Bona showed off his prowess as a rim-protector, rim runner and pest on the offensive glass as he posted eight offensive rebounds in his performance. He's a highly sought-after prospect out of Prolific Prep and it's easy to why. 

3 Chris Livingston, 6'7 Wing/Forward, Virginia Gold (Kentucky Commit)
Chris Livingston was another Kentucky commit on display at the Geico Top Flight Invite with Virginia Gold. He finished with a double-double on his birthday, finishing with 22 points and 10 rebounds, including the game-winning lay-in as time expired to give his team a 70-69 victory.

Livingston is another athletic slasher that likes to shoot at volume. While he didn't have his best shooting game to open things up, he showed off an ability to create off the bounce and get to the rim and showed up when it counted. 

4 MJ Rice, 6'5 Guard/Wing, Prolific Prep, 2022 (Kansas Commit)
MJ Rice set the tone on the offensive end of the floor for Prolific Prep in their win over Hoop Nation, finishing with 27 points on 10-of-18 shooting from the field and 2-of-8 shooting from behind the arc. A lot of questions have been asked about his shooting, he answered those questions today.

Rice scored nine of the team's first 15 points, showing off his ability to knock down shots on the perimeter and use his frame and length to get to the rim. He'll be looked upon to play a big role in their semifinal meeting against Virginia Gold.

5 Mikey Williams, 6'3 Guard, Vertical Academy, 2023
Mikey Williams got hot and found a rhythm for his Vertical Academy squad, though it wasn't entirely enough to go up against the Dream City Christian sizeable front. He finished with 26 points (15 in the second half) along with six assists and two rebounds to show off his poise in the backcourt. He showed off his ability to co-exist on a new squad along with Trey Parker (2023) against another national squad. Parker also finished with 15 points. 

6 Yohan Traore, 6'11 Forward, Dream City, 2022
Yohan Traore was a burden to bear on the interior for Vertical Academy as Dream City got an opening-round victory. He finished Day 1 of the Geico Top Flight Invite with 22 points and five rebounds on the interior for Dream City, showing off his strong frame and hands around the rim as a finisher. He's another undecided big man in the 2022 class that's highly-rated and for good reason given what he can do on the floor. 

7 Kijani Wright, 6'9 Forward, CBC, 2022
Kijani Wright was an efficient force in the paint for CBC in their opening-round victory over Air Nado in the Geico Top Flight Invite. He posted a double-double on the day, finishing with 22 points and 10 rebounds on 8-of-11 shooting from the field and a perfect 6-of-6 from the free-throw line. He's a big man with a solid frame that he uses well to establish position down low and make plays around the rim. 

8 Richard Isaacs, 6’2 Guard, Air Nado (Texas Tech Commit) 
Richard Isaacs finished with the day's best-scoring performance, finishing with 33 points on 7-of-17 shooting, four made 3s, and a perfect 15-of-15 shooting from the free-throw line, as he paced the Air Nado offense with his ability to score at volume and create scoring opportunities getting to the rim. 

9 Jared McCain, 6'3 Guard, HoopNation, 2023
Jared McCain was another prospect that hung 30+ points on the day, though it came in a 88-79 loss to Prolific Prep. He showed off his ability to knock down 3's and get to the free-throw line behind 33 points on 5-of-9 shooting from 3-point range and 12-of-15 shooting from the free-throw stripe. He'll be one to keep an eye on Day 2 given his ability to get going in a hurry. 22 of his points came in the first half.

10. Jason “Jase” Richardson Jr., 6'2 Guard, LV Orange, 2024
Jason Richardson Jr. was an impressive sophomore for LV Orange as they almost pulled off an upset of Virginia Gold in the opening game of the day. He paced the offense for his squad with 24 points and three assists on 7-of-13 shooting and three made 3-pointers to open things up. He's a wiry guard and the son of former Michigan State standout Jason Richardson and brings quite the pedigree to the floor with his length and athleticism on both ends of the floor.
