The Nike Global Challenge in Chicago, Illinois is almost done with the third day of games. There are quite a few Arizona recruits playing in the Global Challenge, and all of them have done well today.

Allonzo Trier: Zona's most recent commit in the class of 2015 has been stellar through three days in Chicago. He is scoring at will, like he's been doing for many years now, and he was really locked in on the defensive end. He only scored nine points in his first game today, but the young combo guard was aggressive when attacking the rim and he worked to get his teammates involved.

D.J. Hogg: The 6-foot-9 forward recently trimmed his list to six schools, and the 'Cats made the cut. Hogg had a solid offensive performance today for team U.S.A. West he scored 15 points on a 55 percent shooting clip. He was aggressive when trying to rebound, but he only grabbed three, largely in part because Tyler Davis and Stephen Zimmerman were rebounding every available ball.

Stephen Zimmerman: Zimmerman is one of the more talked about bigs in the class of 2015. He has all the skills needed to be successful on the college level and he showed that in his win today. The Nevada native was active early and often today, he connected on ten of his 16 shots and scored 21 points. The 6-foot-11 center was everywhere on the offensive and defensive glass, too, he grabbed four and five, respectively. It should be noted that Zimmerman's performance at the Global Challenge has been good enough to have his name in the mix for MVP of the event.

Tyler Davis: Davis is a force in the paint. Standing at 6-foot-9 and weighing 265 pounds he is able to carve out space to work in the paint, and he has the strength to defend opposing centers. Besides Zimmerman, Davis was the other active big for team U.S.A. West, he hit eight of his 13 shots. The Texas native scored 19 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, he is another player that is in the conversation for the Nike Global Challenge MVP.

Omari Spellman: Nothing noteworthy from Omari Spellman today. He played against team U.S.A. West and struggled to find his offensive groove. He could not find the net from anywhere on the floor today and he went 1-4 from the free-throw line.

Team U.S.A. West will play in tomorrow's championship game. Team U.S.A. East, featuring Allonzo Trier is playing again tonight at 8PM EST.
