2023 Mayar Wol (Word of God): It was good to see our guy back on the court and he shined once again on the big stage. When you walk about Wol’s game, he is such a tough matchup in how he can operate, his ability to stretch the court, and how he uses his length. Wol is smooth from the perimeter but also did a great job in attacking in transition and finishing with power at the rim. There is a lot to like about his game and still believe there is more in what he ultimately could be in the end.
2025 Preston Copeland (Raleigh Christian): We have spoken about Copeland on so many occasions and it seems that more should walk away impressed in what he could be. The young forward has a great frame and finished time after time at the rim. He shows flashes in his game being a force in the paint, adding more and understanding what he could be, but Copeland is one of those young forwards to really watch out for and he showed that on the big stage.
2023 Aden Holloway (Prolific Prep): The duo of Holloway and Green led the charge for Prolific Prep on Day 2, but have to give credit to Holloway in how he set the tone early on with his outside shooting and his ability to be that playmaker. Holloway reads the defense so well, and can either make you pay with his smooth shot from outside but also make a ton of plays with his ability to break down defenders.
2024 Austin Swartz (Cannon): To simply put… Swartz did what Swartz has done. He is an absolute elite bucket-maker on the court, getting to his spots where he wants and knows how to finish over defenders, including a few absolutely tough and contested shots. Swartz has entered another level in his game and he introduced himself more on a national level on Day 2.
