2026 Eli Brown (Upstate Hornets)
Brown may not always get the recognition he deserves, but no one can say that this young man doesn’t produce, and we are here to recognize that. The big man continues to be a force on the court, carving out space, operating strong and with good footwork/feel in the paint, and can be a factor with his outside game. Every time we get a chance to watch him, he makes smart plays and can be a dynamic scoring option.
2026 Marjaylen Jackson (VA Havoc 434)
Jackson was a player who really earned my attention throughout the day. Hard not to notice him with his strong, football-like frame but he is one that moves and knows how to operate on the court. Jackson plays hard and runs the floor, doing a great job in posting up down low, using his body to play through defenders, and finishing with touch inside.
2026 Griff Simpson (Anthony Morrow Elite)
Simpson is another prospect that has had a strong summer, really opening more eyes with his game and impact. Every time we watch him, he is finding ways to score from multiple levels, whether it is attacking off the bounce and surprising you with his athleticism, getting to his spots for his face-up game, or stretching the floor from the perimeter. I also like his activity level on the glass, as he competes in several areas.
2026 Josiah Sanders (1of1 Elite)
I always enjoy watching Sanders in action, and you can see why so many schools are intrigued with his game. Whether it is size, the ability to play and defend multiple positions, score inside with his physicality, or be a playmaker for his teammates, Sanders is one who can impact the game in so many ways. His value can’t be denied on the court, which is why so many schools have entered the picture for him.
2027 Liam Drayton (XLXB)
Standing on the sidelines, the 6’6 football prospect really shined as a strong piece for his team. Learning more about his game, Drayton was able to find success in operating down in the post, showing good feel, positioning, and bringing a physical aspect to the floor, but also did a great job in being able to stretch the floor as well. Overall, a really good athlete who can produce both on the court and looks to be a strong prospect on the football field.
