2022 Jemez Herd Jr. (Team PUSH NC 2022): The unsigned senior came out with a little something to prove and that he did. He looked unstoppable on the court to finish the day, scoring in all ways. He finished extremely well in transition, finishing at the rim with power, and having multiple dunks but also displayed how tough of a matchup he can be on the floor with his size and skill set.
2022 Thomas Mandell (Sandhills Machine): To say that Mandell was feeling it may be an understatement because it seemed like he couldn’t miss from behind the arc. He finished the game with 26 points, another double-digit strong performance from the shooter, this time knocking down eight threes. Mandell has been red hot from outside all weekend long and finished the weekend with a very impressive showing.
2023 Sean Rose (Team Synergy): Rose has had a strong year overall and has been a standout on many occasions. He possibly had his best outing throughout the weekend on Day 3, as Rose continues to get stronger and develop his overall feel. His comfort level in stepping out, bringing a presence in the paint on both sides of the floor, and his ability to finish or get on the boards are all factors that should attract college coaches his way.
2023 Orlando Hudson (Carolina Bad Boyz): The Carolina Bad Boyz had a strong showing all throughout the weekend and one of the most consistent players they had was 2023 Orlando Hudson. Hudson averaged over 20 points per game in each game, really showing his tough, physical feel as a guard. He continued to get downhill, finish through contact, and simply fill it up. He couldn’t be stopped for much of the weekend in leading his team.
2024 Manny Pringle (Team 803): Team 803 had a great showing at the LIVE period and Pringle was one of the go-to leaders, especially ending the day with a 31-point performance. Pringle, a 6’1 guard, played at a great pace and shows that he can put points on the board. He gets out in transition well, penetrates and gets into the lane, and made several plays for himself and for his teammates. Pringle continues to take the necessary steps in his game every time we see him.
2025 Elijah Mobley (704 Soldierz): We got a great view of Mobley back during the high school season and he continues to play at a high level for a young prospect. The guard continues to show he can create with his handles, and knock down shots with confidence, especially showing some range in his game. He ended Day 3 helping his team in a big way, knocking down several big shots and finishing at the rim. Continue to monitor this young man.
