Immediate 2024 Recruiting Targets: Bigs in North Carolina (Part 1)
2024 6’8 Richard Goods (Grimsley): Goods should be a huge priority for so many programs of different levels. The 6’8 is a strong, physical forward who is continuing to have a huge year in averaging 21.0ppg, 14.2pg, and 3.1bpg. Goods can be a demanding big that is hard to slow down, attacks and looks to rip the rim off, has excellent touch and feel on the boards as well as finishing with touch...

Standouts from Phenom Tourney Town
2024 Lewis Walker (WS Christian): Walker was tremendous on Day 1, leading his team in a big way for a win against TBS.

Smith): It was a gritty and...

Needing a Big' – Seniors to look at Immediately in NC/SC (Part 1)
Taky Prosper 2024 Darius Carr (Gray Collegiate Academy): Carr is a player we have talked about a lot recently, and was the one that inspired me for this article. Carr had a tremendous showing at the SC Top 80, and is an underrated forward who plays the game the right way, has a strong feel for the game down in the paint, works hard, and has the right mindset both on and off the court.

POB’s Eye Catchers from Day 1 at Phenom Queen City Showcase
2024 Caden Giles (D1 Stars): Really liked what I saw out of the forward to start the evening, as he was impressive on both sides of the court. Giles was effective in scoring around the basket with a soft touch, understands angles, and uses his body really well. But he also made multiple plays defensively in blocking shots and attacking the boards. Very intriguing prospect to keep an eye on, but...

2026 Carter Bullock (NC GBB Varsity): Only a freshman, Bullock played with a lot of poise and did a great job today getting to his spots. He finished with 16 points and hit multiple threes from a variety of areas of the court. Like his understanding, can create off the bounce, and has good size for his age. 2023 Shaedon Simpson (Combine PG): It was great to watch Simpson on the court again, and...

2024 Gage Lattimore (Carolina Clutch): Lattimore came into Day 3 with something to show and prove, and he did as he put on an impressive scoring show. Lattimore is a smooth and unselfish type of player, but he had it going; picking his spots well, pulling up for his jumper, getting to his spots off the ball from three, and just simply being a playmaker on the court. Impressive showing from the...
