NC Elite 2022 De’ante Green: One of the players with the most recruitment on the court, Green faced all types of defensive pressure but still showed some flashes of why he’s a legit HM prospect. Overall he didn’t have the showing that he would have liked early on but he got better as the day progressed.
QCAA 2022 F/C Brandon White Brandon White 6'10" | PF Donda Academy | 2023 #146 Nation NC : During the games we watched, he did the majority of his damage inside the paint on both ends of the floor. Defensively he blocks shots at a very high rate, he has good timing and doesn’t leave his feet too early which helps him to not pick up fouls. On the offensive side of the ball he used his strength to score the ball as well his height and wingspan!
NC Elite Center 2022 Christian Reeves Christian Reeves 7'0" | C Oak Hill Academy | 2022 State NC : Clearly a project player but he has one thing you can’t teach and that’s legit height. He stands close to 7 feet tall and has a long wingspan so deflecting/blocking shots and rebounding are things he does already without much issue.
Team Curry 2021 Forward Kuluel Mading :You know his name already , he’s a top 15 prospect in the state and has plenty of upside to go along with almost 20 offers. His height, wingspan and ability to shoot the ball are all things that make him an intriguing prospect to colleges .
Big Shots Select 2021 Forward Isaac Farah Isaac Farah 6'9" | PF Liberty Heights | 2021 State NC : A sleeper prospect that’s starting to grab more attention, he picked up a D1 offer on Saturday and will add more sooner than later. One of the most impressive attributes he displayed was his ability to rebound the ball at a very high level. He’s constantly working for position when the ball goes up and fighting for every rebound in his area.
Juice All-Stars 2021 Forward Kenechi Nwosu Kenechi Nwosu 6'5" | SF Word of God | 2021 State NC : He’s somewhat undersized for a typical Forward but he makes up for it by using his strength and athletic ability. Constantly working for rebounds, contesting shots and finishing above the rim, he’s a player that you have to keep an eye on.
