This grassroots season has been quite different due to the pandemic and events not being held in NC for the first few months. Although college coaches have not been allowed to physically be in facilities, that has not stopped programs from recruiting players online and several players have taken full advantage.
Juice All-Stars 2021 Wing Saiquone HarrisSaiquoneHarris
6'6" | CG Garner | 2020StateNC: He didn’t waste time getting started as he was one of the leading scorers for their squad from Day 1. He has the size for a legit college wing prospect and has showed up in just about every big time matchup they have had. Schools at the D1 & JC level have been calling so it will ultimately come down to him deciding which route he wants to take.
Team Curry 2021 Forward/Center Jonas AidooJonasAidoo
7'0" | C Liberty Heights | 2021State#89NationNC: There may not be a player that has raised their stock more than he has on the east coast in the last few months. Offers from schools all over the country have come in and when you see his overall skillset at 7 foot, it doesn’t take long to see why. Rebounding, blocking shots and running the floor are all things you will see from him consistently.
Team Hickory 2021 Guard Javian CannadyJavianCannady
6'3" | PG Concord First Assembly | 2021StateNC: Out of all the players mentioned, he’s one that still is not getting the respect he deserves but his play has allowed him to pick up his first scholarship offer. His scoring ability is what catches your attention almost instantly, he has a quick first step and gets off the floor quickly to get his shot off.
Combine Academy 2023 Guard Robert DillinghamRobertDillingham
6'2" | CG Donda Academy | 2023#9NationCA-S: The numbers that this youngster has put up has been absolutely outstanding and he’s made a legit case for being in the national rankings among the top Guards for 2023. Scoring the ball with ease and being able to handle defensive pressure without much of an issue at all are just a few of the things that stand out about him almost immediately.
Big Shots Elite NC 2022 Guard Freddie DilioneFreddieDilione
6'6" | SG Word of God | 2023#37NationNC
: The offers have not begun to roll in yet but the interest from D1 programs has clearly been rising. Dilione has played at a high level, showing an outstanding ability to score the ball regardless of whoever may be attempting to guard him.
