6’6 Will Seward (Hoggard)
Perhaps it’s due to location, but Seward is quietly one of the more under-recruited prospects throughout North Carolina. He’s a highly skilled forward/post player with phenomenal touch, footwork, and scoring instincts anywhere inside 15 feet. Seward plays hard and utilizes his length well to maintain a consistent presence as a rebounder and interior defender. He’s a fluid athlete who moves very well for his size and plays effectively through contact on both ends of the floor. Seward would be an immediate contributor for several college programs.
6’2 Jordan Tate (West Forsyth)
Although the Titans have exceptional balance throughout their roster, it’s clear that Tate has elevated his game over the last twelve months. He’s a strong, skilled guard with great size, penetration instincts, and transition ability. Tate excels at getting downhill and applying pressure on the rim while actively looking to set up others whenever possible. He’s a quality rebounder for his size/position and utilizes his body well to be disruptive defensively. Tate is comfortable operating from either guard spot and altering his approach based on team needs.
6’5 Jkhai Wade (West Charlotte)
Anyone who has watched the Lions this season should already know how much value Wade brings to the table. Not only does he typically operate as their main interior piece, but he also sets the tone with his motor, physicality, and rugged, team-oriented approach on both ends of the floor. Wade plays much bigger than his listed height, specifically as a rebounder and interior defender, and is capable of overwhelming opponents on a regular basis. He finishes well through contact and above the rim, but doesn’t require offensive touches to impact a game.
6’5 Max Skillman (West Forsyth)
Rounding out this group, Skillman has carved out a very nice role for the Titans this season. Although he’s dealt with injuries in the past, he’s found success through his steady, opportunistic game on both ends of the floor. Skillman is a useful finisher and capable scorer out of the post, but can also knock down the occasional jumper as needed. He plays with consistent energy, especially as a rebounder, and battles well to make hustle plays or earn second-chance opportunities. Skillman already knows how to make his presence felt, but still has plenty of upside remaining.
