It was another banner season for Bradley Beal’s AAU charges in the Nike EYBL circuit with both the boys and girls programs making runs to their respective championship tournaments.
Programs at all levels had successful seasons, showing that they were major players on the biggest stages, locking dozens more students into position to advance and play at the next level in the years to come.
But at the end of it all, this year, BBE also had one team that was the last team standing, as their 16U Nike EYBL team, featuring some of the best players in the Class of 2026 and 2027 went unbeaten at the summer’s end nationally televised Nike Peach Jam tournament in Augusta, South Carolina.

The team won all eight of their games, over the course of nine days led by strong performances from their three best players Miika Muurinen (Class of 2026), Jashawn “JJ” Andrews (2026) and Jaylan Mitchell (2027) as well as Trey (2026) and Sheek Pearson (2026).
This Brad Beal Elite 16u team is REALLY impressive.
6’10” Miikka Muurinen is a special prospect. Moves incredibly well for his size. Handles it. Shoots it. Blocks shots. Ranked #10 in 2026 by On3.
JJ Andrews & Jaylan Mitchell (2027) are big-time players as well.@BradBealElite
