#6 Jamarii Thomas Jamarii Thomas 6'1" | PG The Burlington School | 2021 State NC | 6’1 Point Guard | The Burlington School
Thomas’ stock continues to rise after a productive grassroots season with Team Curry. He’s shown he can finish with consistency when he’s looking to score the ball in the paint and shown he can utilize weapons with the likes of Jonas Aidoo Jonas Aidoo 7'0" | C Liberty Heights | 2021 State #89 Nation NC , Logan Threatt Logan Threatt 6'3" | PG Carmel Christian | 2022 State NC , and Ian Schieffelin in the rotation. It’s only a matter of time before the offers start rolling in for this one. He already holds offers from Winthrop, Georgia Southwestern, Stetson, Mars Hill and others.
#11 Daylen Berry Daylen Berry 6'4" | CG Panther Creek | 2021 State NC | 6’4 Guard | Panther Creek
Berry is another guard prospect who’s gotten some attention but not a whole lot from college programs. He holds offers from Florida International, St’ John’s, Wofford, North Carolina Central, George Mason, among others given his ability on the hardwood. He’s a combo guard that gets after on defense before looking to get his offense going, a rare trait from prospects in this day and age. Look for his name to grow as the high school season approaches.
#28 Justin Taylor Justin Taylor 6'3" | CG Carmel Christian | 2021 State NC | 6’3 Guard | Carmel Christian
Taylor didn’t participate much in the grassroots season but that shouldn’t hold him back from breaking out in 2020-21. He came on strong down the stretch for Carmel Christian and has started to buy into the off-the-court aspects of the basketball experience. He’s an athletic slasher with a developing jump shot and tons of defensive pressure to offer. He’ll also pursue a post-grad year at Hargrave Military following his senior season, so his development will be something to watch. He holds offers from Elon, Mount St. Mary’s and South Florida already.
#33 Leontae Moye Leontae Moye 6'7" | PF Farmville Central | 2021 State NC | 6’7 Forward | Farmville Central
Moye was a familiar face, especially on the defensive side of the basketball for Farmville Central. With the departure of Justin Wright Justin Wright 6'2" | PG Farmville | 2020 State #403 Nation NC and Samage Teel Samage Teel 6'2" | CG Farmville Central | 2020 State NC , he’ll be one of the main focal points of Farmville Central’s frontcourt in 2020-21 along with the return of Terquavion Smith Terquavion Smith 6'3" | CG Farmville Central | 2021 State #105 Nation NC . His senior leadership should attract some attention from college coaches soon enough.
#39 Jordan Wildy Jordan Wildy 6'9" | PF Winston-Salem Christian | 2021 State NC | 6’9 Forward | Winston-Salem Christian
Wildy is a versatile forward at 6-foot-9 that does well playing whatever role given to him in the frontcourt. He can protect the rim, he can rebound the ball, he can run the floor and finish with authority. He’s got a number of offers already from UNC-Wilmington, Iona, Elon and La Salle but with a strong year at Winston-Salem Christian, he should draw some more attention.
