Eloff scored 22 points on his own and made quite an impression.

He’s got the potential to make the U.S. team. He grew up with the game since the age of 4 or 5," Davenport Head Coach Kruger van Biljon told MLive. "He creates plays. He knows what angles and lines to run. He’s a quarterback out there."
