#3: 6’2 ’26 Kobe Edwards (Greenfield)

Next, Kobe Edwards is a 6-foot-2 prospect in the Class of 2026. Currently in the process of choosing where to further his playing career, he attended camp and provided his usual level of dynamic ability. Edwards is a wiry, explosive guard who knows how to run a team or produce without the ball. He utilizes his quick first step and change of direction to break down opponents and touch the paint at a consistent rate. Edwards applied pressure from all levels, set up others, and rebounded the ball well for his size/position. He also forced turnovers on a regular basis. Next in his development process is working to get stronger, as it will only help prepare him for the college game. Coach Hunter on Edwards: “Kobe is a score-first combo guard. He’s excellent at shooting off the bounce and also does a good job of reading screens.

#17: 6’1 ’27 Hunter McGrath (Hoggard)

Next, Hunter McGrath is a 6-foot-1 prospect in the Class of 2027. Although he certainly is a knockdown shooter, it’s easy to see everything he brings to a team. McGrath is a very smooth, intelligent guard who knows how to make plays with or without the ball in his hands. He’s a lethal marksman from midrange and beyond the arc, and consistently hits jumpers off the catch and bounce. McGrath is a capable creator with pace and vision. He moves very well without the ball and secures rebounds at an impressive rate for his size/position. Next in his development process is working on getting stronger, as it would make him a more physical defender. Coach Hunter on McGrath: “Hunter is a very good shooter and does a great job of spacing and moving without the ball. He needs to improve his on-ball defense against quicker guards, but he finds a way to be in the right spots and uses his basketball IQ to make plays.” McGrath proved to be an asset at camp and should remain a focal point for Hoggard going forward.

#28: 6’3 ’27 Kamauri Manuel (West Forsyth)

Next, Kamauri Manuel is a 6-foot-3 prospect in the Class of 2027. Despite being on a team filled with star-studded pieces, he had no issue making his presence felt on both ends of the floor. Manuel highlighted an all-around game with the IQ, motor, skillset, and athleticism to operate in a variety of different roles. He scored from all levels while consistently making hustle plays, securing rebounds, and overwhelming several types of opponents with his defensive presence. Next in his development process is working on tightening his handle, as it would make him a more complete offensive piece. Coach Hunter on Manuel: “Kamauri is a dawg. He is a tremendous defender and brings a ton of energy to a team. His attitude and selfless play stood out to me. I thought he shot the ball well and used his athleticism to get to the paint and make plays for others.” Manuel really stood out during his time at camp and should be a key piece for West Forsyth over the next few seasons.

#41: 6’4 ’27 Seth Harris (Western Guilford)

Next, Seth Harris is a 6-foot-4 prospect in the Class of 2027. After flying somewhat under the radar for the last year, he quickly reminded folks what makes him such a difference-maker. Harris is long, athletic, and able to impact the game on both ends of the floor in various roles. He finished at the rim, knocked down perimeter jumpers, and moved extremely well without the ball. Harris is a rugged defender and strong rebounder who naturally outworks opponents with his motor and nose for the ball. Next in his development process is working to tighten his handle, as it would make him even more difficult for opponents to contain. Coach Hunter on Harris: “Seth is a tough-nosed wing who is always around the basketball. He makes things happen, rebounding, diving on the floor, and finishing. He shot the ball well from three in catch-and-shoot situations. He’s the kind of guy I want on my team.” Harris made a lasting impression at camp and should remain the undisputed focal point for Western Guilford going forward.

#65: 6’8 ’27 Noah Dobyns (Wesleyan Christian)

Next, Noah Dobyns is a 6-foot-8 prospect in the Class of 2027. Although he possesses as much long-term appeal as anyone in his class, it was easy to be impressed with his contributions at camp. Dobyns is a long, wiry athlete with impressive fluidity and floor-spacing ability for his size/position. He’s an explosive finisher and lethal perimeter shooter who doesn’t require a ton of touches to make an impact. Dobyns utilizes his length well to be disruptive defensively, both in the passing lanes and as a shot-altering presence. Next in his development process is working on his ability to handle the ball, as it would make him an even bigger matchup problem for opponents. Coach Hunter on Dobyns: “Noah is a skilled forward. He shoots and passes the ball really well. He has good footwork and is very gifted offensively. I would love to see Noah be more physical as a finisher, rebounder, and defender in the post.” Dobyns continues to turn heads with his play and overall trajectory, and should have a big year for Wesleyan Christian.

#70: 6’9 ’27 Charles Pur (The Burlington School)

Finishing up, Charles Pur is a 6-foot-9 prospect in the Class of 2027. Given his reputation and production across all settings, it should be no surprise that he was among the top players in attendance. Pur is a long, wiry, highly skilled big man with incredible touch, ball skills, and scoring ability for his size/position. He’s able to naturally create mismatches against all types of opponents. Pur is too big for smaller defenders and far too mobile and versatile for normal big men. Defensively, he anchors the paint extremely well through his timing, positioning, and general instincts. Pur is also an excellent rebounder. Next in his development process is simply working to add strength, as it would elevate his status even more. Coach Hunter on Pur: “Charles is unbelievably skilled and versatile for his position. I would love to see him continue to embrace physicality in the post. Charles has a great attitude and is unbelievably humble for someone as highly touted as he is. Great character.” Pur was among the most productive players at camp and should be poised for a noteworthy junior season at The Burlington School.
