2024 Cal Barrett (NC Spartans Liles): Barrett is a 6’9 prospect that can be effective and used in a variety of ways on the court. He operates very well in pick-and-pop situations, knocking down mid-range and stepping out behind the arc. But with his size as well, he can be a nice presence in the paint and on the boards. An underrated talent to look at more in my opinion.
2026 Sam Quebedeaux (Team PUSH): Quebedeaux is one that I believe you will be hearing a lot more down the road as he continues to showcase how effective he can be on the court. High IQ, smart guard that has tremendous range with his game, but also is one that can make plays off the dribble and create nicely. Had a very good showing to start his day with 28 points and mixed it up extremely well.
2025 Jackson Fannon (Riptide): Fannon is one that I believe should get more attention and think he ultimately will with what he is able to provide. He continues to get stronger and add more to his game, as well as growing confidence with his shot-making. Does a great job in stretching the defense out with his confident release and range with his game.
2025 Miles Leaks (Upward Stars Carolina): Leaks is a point guard that I believe deserves more attention. His composure on the court, his ability to lead a team, and his balance in running the show as well as being a scorer are impressive. Leaks is a strong creator for himself and others and is one that understands what is needed from him on the court.
2024 Darstin Onye (Manchester Magic): A new program coming overseas, Onye was one that grabbed my attention with his 6’5 frame, his ability to make strong plays and get to the rim, but also his ability to operate well within the offense. Didn’t force anything, made the right reads, showcased his athleticism, and still has a lot of potential as well.
2024 Ty Outlaw (Team PUSH): The big man showed out with college coaches watching, as Outlaw showed his ability to anchor the paint and be a force on both ends. Whether it was him finishing at the rim with force or being a defensive presence in blocking shots or rebounding, Outlaw played with a ton of energy and showed his overall impact on the floor.
2024 David Mirikwe (Team Stacked): Mirikwe is known for his athleticism and his ability to finish at the rim, but what impressed a lot on Day 1 was his defensive impact. He created a lot of havoc on that side of the ball, walling up, staying active, and defending extremely well on the ball. He was tough to score on all game long, as well as being an offensive weapon for his team.
2025 KJ Younger (Team HOPE Gripper): Really do believe more will catch on with this young man, as he looks to really show more of his potential and how effective he can be. Younger is such a strong presence on the court, embracing contact and finishing through defenders. And though he may not be flashy, he consistently produces on both sides of the ball. There are programs that could use a player like him, and should earn more attention in the Class of 2025.
2028 Cemiyric Bouie (Team Trezz): Bouie put on a SHOW at the Coach Rick TOC, as one of the youngest prospects on display at the event was hitting big-time shots. In his first game, he introduced us to his range by hitting 6 3-pointers but then backed that up in a BIG way with 11 3-pointers. Bouie shoots the ball with a ton of confidence for his age.
