POB’s Eye Catchers from Day 3 at John Wall Invitational (Part 2)

2024 Isaiah Washington (WS Christian): Washington was incredibly strong in this game, as he went off for 21 points and did so in impressive fashion. He was able to really be assertive with his offensive game, creating and penetrating the defense, being able to stretch the floor with his pull-up game, and doing a great job also out in transition, finishing strong at the rim. He looked locked in...

Friday Standouts from Relentless Hoops Military Circuit

6’9 2022 David Dixon (Speights Academy)Dixon was arguably the top 2022 prospect in attendance at the event. In my humble and honest opinion, Dixon is a player who is being vastly under-recruited. He’s a player that could without question play in leagues like the A-10 or the American. At 6’9, he has a great mix of size, skill and athleticism. He has the ability to beat you from...

Top Players in North Carolina

Unfortunately, the vast majority of those who tend to form these ranking lists typically opt to make updates on a periodic basis rather than monthly or bi-weekly.

Recruitment Update: 2022 Freddie Dilione (Trinity Christian)

One player that really could be on the verge of seeing a big-uptick in his recruitment is 2022 Freddie Dilione from Trinity Christian. He has been regarded as one of the top players in the state of North Carolina but it seemed odd that schools were coming his way with an offer. That eventually changed though, as he earned his first offer from Eastern Kentucky and then FIU. After that, he received offers from Penn State, Houston, North Carolina A&T, and Xavier
