Jacobi Wright Jacobi Wright 6'1" | PG Legacy Early College | 2021 State #83 Nation SC – Legacy Early College – Team Charlotte
Wright is already off the the board and he will be headed to the University of South Carolina to play for Head Coach Frank Martin. Wright just plays the game so smooth from the point guard position. Wright can score, distribute, pass, defend and he’s a exceptional teammate with his unselfish play. Wright connected on shots at the perimeter when he wasn’t setting up his teammates.
Janyle Pittman Janyle Pittman 6'3" | SG Lancaster | 2021 State SC – Lancaster HS – Carolina Pressure 2021
Pittman picked up a offer from Coker University (SC) (NCAA D2) this weekend. Pittman has a great frame and body to go along with his work ethic on the floor. Pittman is extremely versatile to play multiple positions on the floor along with defending them to boot. Pittman has been a key member of the Bruins roster since his freshman year.
Nic Williams Nic Williams 6'4" | SG Mauldin | 2021 State SC – Mauldin HS – Upward Stars Upstate Bailey (pictured on the front)
Williams has really improved his game since last season. Williams a pogo stick at times with great bounce really excels in the transition game. Williams was seen handling the ball more today than in the past. Williams plays the game very active around the basket and was to connect on some 14-16 footers today. Williams at times likes to stalk the baseline.
Myles Jenkins Myles Jenkins 6'3" | CG River Bluff | 2021 State SC – River Bluff HS – LMR Academy
Jenkins has been playing all summer long for his local team out of the Lexington area. Jenkins just plays the game exceptionally hard at all times. Jenkins rebounds the ball very well from the guard position on both ends of the floor. Jenkins can drive to to the cup or pop-up for a mid-range jumper. Jenkins is really good aware and active away from the ball.
Cohen Gaskins Cohen Gaskins 6'3" | PG James Island | 2021 State SC – James Island HS – Upward Stars Columbia
Gaskins was wearing a Upward Stars Columbia which was a bit weird not seeing him in a TMP jersey. Gaskins has decided to transfer down to James Island HS this coming season after playing at Pinewood Prep. Gaskins a guard really likes to play with the ball in his hands and plays with no shortage of confidence on the floor. Gaskins can create his own shot and at times rebounds the ball very well on both ends of the floor. Gaskins enters his high school senior season with 1,581 career points.
Dessie Canty Dessie Canty 6'4" | SF Dorman | 2021 State SC – Byrnes HS – Upward Stars Upstate Watson
Canty could be on the move this off season to another school in the Upstate? Canty a rangy guard-forward has a quick 1st step to create his own shot. Canty really excels attacking the basket and the ability to absorb contact. Canty has a great motor on both ends of the floor and excels in the transition game.
