6-2 C Nathan Rodriguez Nathan Rodriguez 6'3" | C North Paulding | 2023 State GA – NME – North Paulding
Big Dog Nathan Rodriguez Nathan Rodriguez 6'3" | C North Paulding | 2023 State GA was a headache to play against all summer. Opposing big men may have a significant height advantage but if they aren’t disciplined, Rodriguez will eat them up. Big Dog is the epitome of an old school post. Great footwork, a multitude of head and ball fakes and terrific hands. Rodriguez is a great rebounder and uses his wide shoulders to carve out space and score inside without being blocked.
6-8 C Keith Williams Keith Williams 6'8" | C Mt. Vernon Presbyterian | 2023 State GA – Georgia Stars – Mt. Vernon Presbyterian
Keith Williams Keith Williams 6'8" | C Mt. Vernon Presbyterian | 2023 State GA earned an offer from Middle Tennessee State on September 15. He’s a mountain of a man that moves well for his size. He’s got nimble feet and good hands which help him get into rebounding position and score on putbacks. He has skill on the low block and demands attention and often double teams. He will be an immediate impact maker at his new home.
6-4 C AJ Vinson AJ Vinson 6'6" | C Social Circle | 2023 State GA – JC Ducks – Social Circle
AJ Vinson AJ Vinson 6'6" | C Social Circle | 2023 State GA uses his size to battle for rebounds. He’s a space eater that plays bigger than his size with his long arms. Vinson does a good job of anchoring himself on the low block and defending without fouling. His development will be important for Social Circle’s success in Class A-Public.
6-2 W Juwan Boggs Juwan Boggs 6'1" | SG Jenkins | 2023 State GA – GA Ignites – Jenkins
A little undersized and without a true position, Juwan Boggs Juwan Boggs 6'1" | SG Jenkins | 2023 State GA can be placed anywhere on the floor and give you results. He’s strongly built and has a nose for the ball. He will throw himself into a crowd to claw out rebounds. On offense, he can be a mismatch with his ability to score from the wing and on the block.
6-4 W Mason Etter Mason Etter 6'5" | SF Etowah | 2023 State GA – Atlanta All-Stars – Etowah
Mason Etter Mason Etter 6'5" | SF Etowah | 2023 State GA does so much for his team. He broke school records with the amount of charges he took as a freshman and is the master of doing the little things that help teams win. Etter had a great summer scoring the ball, but we need to highlight his rebounding as well. Etter expends so much energy on both sides of the floor but he never gets tired. He hits the glass hard and outrebounds bigger opponents. He has an elite will and want to win.
6-5 PF LT Overton LT Overton 6'5" | PF Milton | 2023 GA – TSF Mack – Milton
Baby Travon Walker, LT Overton LT Overton 6'5" | PF Milton | 2023 GA is on the same trajectory as the five-star UGA defensive lineman that anchored two state championship teams at Upson-Lee. Overton isn’t quite as big or the rim protector that Walker was but he isn’t that far off. He’s a powerful post that scores through contact inside and rips away rebounds. He had a lot on his plate last year but with the arrival of Kendall Campbell Kendall Campbell 6'8" | PF TSF Prep | 2023 #244 Nation GA , he won’t be the only post expected to clean the glass this season.
