Who looked good? Who surprised? And how did some of the UW targets fare, like Matisse Thybulle, Jermaine Haley, and Corey Kispert?

Fetters and Beach were joined by Jason McCleary of Left Coast Hoops, who gave us some great insight on some of his surprises during the first day of the NW Premier Summer Showcase.
