Joseph Richey Joseph Richey 6'5" | PF Legacy Early College | 2021 State SC – JL Mann HS – Upward Stars Upstate Watson
Richey is a left-handed forward who does a great job carving out space down low. Richey is a bit undersized in the paint but seems to be very effective around the cup. Richey will rebound the ball out of his area or take a charge around the basket. Richey likes to play the game on contact and seems to be just figuring out how good he can be down the road.
Kymani Knox Kymani Knox 6'4" | PF North Myrtle Beach | 2021 State SC – North Myrtle Beach HS – Manzer (pictured on the front)
Knox is undersized in size but sure not with HEART. Knox gives you everything you want as a coach while on the floor. Knox plays the game around the basket and on the floor sacrificing his body all night long. Knox is relentless on the boards and will look to finish on the left-side quite frequently. Knox provides GREAT EFFORT and ENERGY while on the floor for his team.
Travis Cooper Travis Cooper 6'4" | SF West Florence | 2021 State SC – West Florence HS – Upward Stars Pee Dee
Cooper is a TWEENER on the floor and seems to be most effective playing around the paint. Cooper is a live body and rebounds the ball well on both ends of the floor. Cooper is a very good athlete who runs the floor well and likes to stalk the baseline at times.
Jordan Spraggins Jordan Spraggins 6'8" | SF York Prep | 2021 SC – Ridge View HS – 1-Carolina
Spraggins looks to be headed to Oakville Prep (Canada) this coming fall. Spraggins scores most of his points around the basket on put-backs or just cleaning up the glass. Spraggins moves well around the floor and can alter – challenge shots on the defensive end.
