Joseph Richey Joseph Richey 6'5" | PF Legacy Early College | 2021 State SC – JL Mann HS – Upward Stars Upstate Watson
Richey was VERY PRODUCTIVE when he was in the game. Richey a left-handed undersized post player plays with his back to basket and doesn’t mind carving out space in the paint. Richey has a great nose for the ball and has the ability to rebound out of his area. Richey was able to be used as a mover-screener on the floor.
Ansuelo Young Ansuelo Young 6'5" | SF Lexington | 2021 State SC – Lexington HS – Big Shots Select SC (pictured on the front)
Young really likes to use his body at times to go to work in the paint. Young played last season in Texas and will be a welcome addition to Wildcats roster this year. Young isn’t afraid to talk it up in the paint and tends to stay just around the basket. Young collected a few put-backs on the glass just on tip ins.
Chris Rhone Chris Rhone 6'4" | SF Gray Collegiate | 2021 State SC – Gray Collegiate – Carolina Pressure 2021
Rhone has a great frame to him and looks to maybe have a breakout year for the War Eagles. Rhone started off his career at nearby Northside Christian before coming over to GCA. Rhone a athletic guard has great skills and the ability to create off the dribble. Rhone really excels on the football field as a defensive back where he recorded 99 tackles and 5 interceptions last season for the War Eagles. Rhone will he play football or basketball at the next level?
Jaiven Lowery-Isaac Jaiven Lowery-Isaac 6'3" | SG Sumter | 2021 State SC – Sumter HS – Carolina Pressure 2021
Lowery-Isaac is a thick forward who really likes to stir up the pot at times with his play. Lowery-Issac is a kid you love to have on your team but you would hate to play against him. Lowery-Isaac 6’4 likes to bully defenders never tends to back down from anyone. Lowery-Isaac has a decent stroke from out on the perimeter.

Burns has played well this summer with his teammate Myles Jenkins Myles Jenkins 6'3" | CG River Bluff | 2021 State SC here for LMR Academy. Burns has the ability to take a charge, grab a lose ball on the floor, rebound in traffic and hit a elbow jumper. Burns does a lot of the little things to put your team in position to win games. Burns is a decent athlete that plays wide receiver on the football team for the Thoroughbreds.
