Bradley Beal Elite's Jericole Hellems Soars To New Heights At Peach Jam
Whether it was finishing dunks with authority in transition or splashing the nets from 3-point range, nobody had a better Peach Jam than Jericole Hellems. The Bradley Beal Elite (MO) forward came out of nowhere to steal the show at the Riverview Park Activities Center in North Augusta, SC, this past week.
After averaging 8.9 points and 5.8 rebounds in 16 Nike EYBL regular-season games, the 6-foot-6 Hellems went from role player to superstar on the summer’s biggest stage. He averaged 22.4 points and 7.0 rebounds and received over a dozen high-major offers because of it.
So what changed?
For starters, Hellems shot the ball a lot better. He never posted over 18 points in any regular-season contest but did so five times at Peach Jam, including a 34-point outing against Canada's CIA Bounce.

Add in his aggressiveness on both ends and it’s easy to understand why offers came flooding in from the likes of Arkansas, Boston College, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Kansas State, Missouri, Ole Miss, Saint Louis, Wake Forest, and Wichita State.
It was a life-changing week for Hellems, and everyone will remember it all started at Peach Jam.
