Though there has been plenty of change around the state of North Carolina when it comes to prospects, the talent is still running deep all over the state. And with the high school LIVE periods coming through the month of June, we are highlighting a few players that I believe should be strong targets for so many schools and should be holding double-digit offers from schools all around. Check out Part 2 of the article.
2027 6’9 Mason Robinson (Greensboro Day)
Robinson is one that I’m high on and believe he should be a target for many schools around the area. He has the size and physical frame to come in quickly to a program and help, and Robinson continues to show growth with his overall game. The big man from GDS can shine not only as a strong finisher but one who can control the pain on either side. He finishes strong at the rim but also moves and runs the floor well at his size. He is active on the glass and just brings a physical feel inside. I’m eager to see what more he can add to his offensive game ,which would make him even more enticing for college programs.
2026 6’5 Antonio McKoy (Harrells Christian)
McKoy has produced time after time and thrives as the clear leader for his team. Not only has he shown himself to be a strong offensive scorer, attacking and creating, finishing at the rim, and being a multi-level scorer, but is also one who impacts the game in a variety of other areas on the court. It can be hard for players that are further out east to earn recognition, but McKoy had earned it from college programs all around the area. At 6’5, with his athleticism and his overall impact, McKoy can help a program.
2027 6’5 Geren Holmes (TBS)
Now at TBS and part of the Class of 2027, Holmes is one who will certainly have plenty of eyes his way and I think this is just the start. Again, we are talking about a 6’5, strong prospect that has shown early on he can flourish and lead his team. He is an effective scorer from multiple levels, can finish through contact and attack downhill, helps on the boards, can knock down shots from outside, and truly shines as a strong offensive multi-level scorer. He just earned an in-state offer, but I think more should be coming his way.
2026 6’5 Logan Johnson (Carmel Christian)
Johnson, who has shown early on to be one of the clear leaders at Carmel Christian, looks to be in for a big season with his offensive capabilities. Carmel Christian will be led by him and others, as Johnson has a chance to really put his full game on display. Already holding D1 offers, more could be coming his way with him showcasing his confident shot-making, range, and ability to score off the bounce. He has a huge opportunity to shine and be a leader, and if what we have seen early this summer is any indication, more offers could be rolling his way.
