Summer Breakthrough For Trejuan Holloman

The summer of 2018 has been huge for freshman point guard Trejuan Holloman. After a very productive eighth grade season for Minneapolis North which saw him average around 11 ppg as the starting point guard, Tre transitioned into the AAU season with Howard Pulley. Howard Pulley is an organization known for its high quality point guards. Tyus Jones, Brad Davison, and Tre Jones are just a few who have gone through the Pulley ranks. Trejuan Holloman is already being recognized as the next great point guard to play for Howard Pulley (alongside 2021 top-25 nationally ranked Kendall Brown). Trejuan has been playing two years up from his age group for a while, playing 16u as a 14 year old. As one of the youngest players in the 16u Nike EYBL circuit, Tre more than held his own as the starting point guard. But this was just the start of his big summer.

Midway through the AAU season, Trejuan made the impressive jump to Howard Pulley's 17u team, seeing playing time in occasional tournaments. Tre continued to turn heads on the AAU circuit with his mature play and exceptional athleticism. One play in particular that caught a lot of attention was a huge one handed poster dunk he threw down in a Las Vegas tournament. It was an extremely impressive play for any point guard, let alone one that is only 14 years old.

Earning an invite to the CP3 Rising Stars camp, Trejuan made the most of his opportunity. He turned a lot of heads at the event, and really began to garner a lot of national attention. Playing against the top freshmen in the country, Tre managed to stand out. He performed well scoring the ball, distributing, and defending, and ended up throwing down another posterizing dunk that garnered a lot of attention on social media. Tre's play earned him a spot in the All Star game, solidifying his spot as one of the top 20 players at the camp.

Next up for Trejuan was the Twin Cities Under The Radar event: a showcase of some of Minnesota's top talent in each grade. In the 2022 game, Tre was putting on a show. He once again showed off his passing ability with a few nice dimes. He showed off his ability to jump passing lanes leading to a few transition dunks. One of those dunks would go on to blow up on Twitter, as he once again posterized a defender (that seems to be a common theme for him). 

Most recently, Trejuan attended the John Lucas Invitational down in Houston, another camp that featured some of the elite young talent from across the country. Tre's play once again made him stand out from the competition. He continued to gain recognition for his mature style of play as a lead guard, an instinct well beyond his years. And it wouldn't be a summer event for Tre without a posterizing dunk in transition, so he did just that. With time expiring in the first half of one of the expo games, Tre beat a defender before taking it to the hoop and dunking over not one, but two defenders to beat the buzzer. In a summer full of impressive plays, this was perhaps the most amazing one of them all. Tre's killer mentality when needing to score, combined with a poise well beyond his years is a lethal combination for a young point guard.

Tre also had strong showings at the Wisconsin team camp and the Northern Iowa team camp, playing with Howard Pulley in both events. He has received interest so far from Wisconsin and Iowa, two quality high major programs. After such a strong summer with Howard Pulley, and a freshmen season with powerhouse Cretin-Derham Hall looming, don't be surprised if Trejaun starts bringing in some offers in the near future.
