6’1 ’25 Beau Harvey (Rising Pros Training)
Though unsigned, it’s pretty clear that Harvey has the makings of a next-level floor general. It’s unclear why more schools haven’t gotten involved with one of the most successful players in North Carolina (playing in state championships three of his four possible seasons). Harvey is a smart, unselfish leader by example who simply knows how to set the tone as a focal point. He’s a capable scorer who consistently creates for others and makes quality decisions with the ball in his hands. His steady, reliable two-way presence is a massive part of why he should appeal to coaches. Harvey has ability to affect the game without needing a ton of shots or touches.
6’4 ’26 Max Skillman (NC Spartans Henderson)
Despite some ups and downs for this group, Skillman continues to produce. He’s a very polished forward who has made massive strides over the last calendar year. Unironically, Skillman possesses a strong level of skill for his size and position. He’s a reliable scorer on the block, featuring an excellent blend of touch, footwork, and ability to play through contact. Skillman can knock down open jumpers or attack from the wing, but is arguably at his best when operating from the low-post. He’s a great rebounder and utilizes his motor to be disruptive defensively. Expect his stock to continue rising.
6’4 ’26 Jordan James (Warriors Life Elite)
Given the flashes of greatness throughout the weekend, it feels like more schools should be pursuing James. He’s a long, skilled, athletic wing who highlighted a lot of ability on both ends of the floor. James is capable of handling the ball and creating scoring opportunities for himself and others. He made several sharp passes while applying pressure from all levels and asserting his presence in transition. James defended multiple positions, rebounded well for his size, and appeared comfortable with or without the ball in his hands. Don’t be surprised if he has a breakout high school season.
5’11 ’26 Elijah Brandon (Team Loaded 804)
It’s difficult to ignore someone like Brandon and the massive offensive load he carries for this group. He’s a crafty, polished lead guard who can consistently fill it up as a scorer from all levels. Brandon possesses an incredibly strong body and plays really well through contact when driving to the basket. He sees the floor well as a passer and shows a willingness to make the right play with the ball in his hands. Brandon is a scrappy on-ball defender whose blend of strength and quickness make him a problem for opponents. He’s also a useful rebounder with the ability to make hustle plays.
6’2 ’26 Arrie McWilliams (Team Loaded 804)
The ability to produce in a low-maintenance role is the key to success for most players, and that rings especially true for McWilliams. He’s a knockdown shooter who consistently hits jumpers, defends with energy, and fills in the gaps however necessary. McWilliams moves well without the ball to find openings as a cutter, but can also attack closeouts as needed. He utilizes his length well in the passing lanes to force turnovers defensively.
