The lefty can score from all 3 levels at an amazingly high rate and possesses a very creative handle. You can tell he has made a commitment in the weight room as he has grown 3 inches and added 35 pounds since the end of last basketball season. Majors better take notice now this kid is definitely D1 material.
Trevon Ragland, 2021 G, Sparkman: A long and wiry wing who has good athleticism and at 6’3 the ability to play above the rim from the guard position. He has an eye-opening dunk package all while showing the ability to knock down shots from the outside. He needs to continue to improve his handle which would add another dynamic to his already nice feel for the game. We look forward to seeing how he develops over his junior season.
Nathan Johns, 2021 F, Jemison: A lot of players nowadays just want to be the all glitz and glamour not many players just pack their lunch and hard hat and go to work anymore. That is not the case with this 6’6 junior from Jemison High School. He still needs to add some bulk to his frame that will help him be more of a force on the inside. He’s a capable shooter from distance but earns his living around the basket eating up rebounds. He is extremely active on the offensive glass which is a unique skill in itself. Every coach wants this type of guy on their team the true definition of a “Fox Hole” player.
Cameron Boozer, 2020 F, Lannett: The 6’9 big man looks great getting off the bus and does not disappoint once he steps foot on the court. He is physically imposing which stands out, but he really turns heads is the motor he plays with as a traditional big. He makes his living in the paint and has that unteachable skill of trying to dunk every time he gets a touch. The Lanett high School prospect is a terror on the defensive end as he goes after every shot that is put up in the paint. He has a nice ability to contest and block shots out of his guarding area. One of the best help defenders in the state needs to continue to develop his offensive game. He has good timing which allows him to stay out of foul trouble.
Jarvis Moss, 2021 G, Selma: The flashy guard has a lay-up package that is second to none. He is a blur in the open court and does a great job of pushing the tempo. Needs to work on change of pace because he sometimes over penetrates but does a great job at making pull-up threes in transition. Once he can control his speed, he should be a good-looking prospect when he graduates in 2 years.
Julius Clark, 2023 SF, Mountain Brook: One of the players who opened some eyes over the summer and made a name for himself is 6’5″ freshman forward Julius Clark of Mountain Brook. At only a freshman, this high motor athlete thrives in the open court and has good hands that allow him to catch and finish in transition. He needs to continue to work on his ball-handling and outside shooting from range as he begins to make his transition to a high school wingman, but there’s a lot to like about him right now. He plays with high intensity as a young player that you don’t see very often. His ability to communicate with his teammates on and off the court increases his value even more.
