Silas Mason Silas Mason 6'7" | SF Ben L. Smith | 2020 State NC – Guard/Wing – Ben L. Smith
Mason is still on the board and unsigned heading into the final signing period before the 2020 class steps foot on college campuses. He holds a number of high major and mid-major offers with one recently coming from UNC-Wilmington and North Carolina A&T. He’s a versatile wing prospect that has all the athleticism in the gym. He put up 20.1 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 1.9 apg and 1.5 spg as a senior for the Golden Eagles, earning District Player of the Year, first-team All-District and All-Conference honors as a result. He’s an unsigned prospect loaded with promise at 6-foot-7.
Javarzia Belton Javarzia Belton 6'10" | C Moravian Prep | 2020 State #341 Nation NC – Forward – Moravian Prep
Belton battled through some injuries in 2019-20 but when he’s at optimal health, he’s a 6-foot-10 big man that’s a bruiser on both ends. He protects the rim with his strength and length and is hard to stop when his back’s to the basket with the ball in his hands. He’s a double-double machine that’s slowly finding his way on the hardwood. He holds offers from a number of midmajor programs including Eastern Michigan, Southern Miss and Rhode Island.
Linwood Grandy Linwood Grandy 6'6" | SF Wayne Country Day | 2020 State NC – Forward – Wayne Country Day School
Grandy is a 6-foot-6 forward that played a big role in the Chargers’ frontcourt in 2019-20. He produced 13.9 ppg and 3.9 rpg as they made a return to the NCISAA 4A State title game. He’s a prospect that’s hard to stop in the paint and loves to finish with authority in traffic. As he develops his game on the perimeter, he’ll be one to watch. He recently received an offer from Wake Tech.

Devin Brown Devin Brown 6'8" | PF Eastern Wayne | 2020 State NC – Forward – Eastern Wayne
Brown is an underrecruited forward that had a strong senior season at Eastern Wayne, putting up 17.7 ppg, 12.8 rpg and 1.9 bpg in 2019-20. He’s a 6-foot-7 force to be reckoned with in the paint and really came on strong during his final year of high school, showcasing a strong post game and solid rim protection. He’ll be making his college decision very soon.

Luke Davis Luke Davis 6'7" | PF Moravian Prep | 2020 State NC – Forward – Moravian Prep
Davis is another prospect from Moravian Prep on this list and for good reason, given his ability to play inside and out. He’s a 6-foot-7 forward that runs the floor well and can get above the rim and make plays. On the perimeter, he’s got the ability to knock down shots from deep with no issue. Recently, he was offered by Vincennes University, Chowan and UNC-Pembroke.
Trey Pittman Trey Pittman 6'7" | PF Greenfield | 2020 State NC – Forward – Greenfield School
Pittman is another underappreciated forward in the 2020 class that remains unsigned. He’s a 6-foot-7 forward that has a nice all-around feel for the game and can do a whole lot more than score. He knows how to be a burden on the glass as well as a presence in the paint when he’s on the floor. He earned All-State honors this past season at Greenfield School and holds offers from Barton College, University of Lynchburg and Randolph-Macon.
