Jones a dual sport athlete went to twitter a few weeks back saying he was headed to Myrtle Beach HS. Jones looks to have a change of plans and he will stay with the Braves now.

[player_tooltip player_id="927575" first="Cainon" last="Norris"]Cainan Norris Cainan Norris 6'4" | SF Conway Christian | 2021 State SC – Conway Christian
Norris really stays off the grid by playing at a small SCISA 1A school just down the road from Conway HS. Norris must get quicker laterally likes to sit on the perimeter and shoot the 3 ball. Norris averaged 15.5 ppg this past season for the Eagles.
[player_tooltip player_id="747006" first="Javi" last="Marlowe"]Javi Marlowe Javi Marlowe 6'1" | PG North Myrtle Beach | 2021 State SC – North Myrtle Beach HS
Marlowe a slender-sleek guard is best when attacking the basket. Marlowe has really good length to defend the passing lanes. Marlowe can play the game at a good pace or speed it up when needed.

Nesbitt is the one of the leaders on this Sharks roster. The Sharks just recently hired a new head coach for this coming season. Nesbitt 6’1 will run the offense this coming season for the Sharks.

Herring 6’7 is virtual unknown outside the Grand Strand area. Herring runs the floor very well and has great length. Herring needs to figure out the deducation to the game and the next level. Herring has a good upside and has some tools that I would like to see progress down the road.
