Will Gray Will Gray 6'2" | CG East Forsyth | 2023 State NC | 6’2 Guard | Forsyth Country Day
Gray is a prospect that should turn heads in the Triad area in 2020-21 this season at Forsyth Country Day. He’s already got a year of varsity under his belt from his freshman season that should equip him to emerge as a top prospect in his class as a sophomore. He filled up the stat sheet this past season, posting 14.6 ppg, 4.3 apg, 4.0 spg and 3.2 rpg and should bring a much more well-rounded game on both ends to the table that will see his production elevate this year.
Jakel Powell Jakel Powell 6'5" | SF Raleigh Christian Academy | 2024 NC | 6’4 Forward|Wing | The Burlington School
Powell will be a new face in The Burlington School rotation after running through the competition at Neuse Christian in 2019-20. He’s a versatile prospect that should serve multiple roles on the floor this season for a team in need of an athletic wing like him. Alongside Jamarii Thomas Jamarii Thomas 6'1" | PG The Burlington School | 2021 State NC , Powell’s presence on the floor should elevate this team in 2020-21. He holds offers already from Winthrop and Fairfield.
Khyelle Ingram Khyelle Ingram 6'5" | CG Bull City Prep | 2023 State NC | 6’5 Forward | Gaston Day Prep
Ingram had a strong finish to the summer on the grassroots stage with Team Trezz . He’s a presence that never stops working on both ends and likes to operate in the midrange area for shots in the halfcourt. He’s due to get some attention this season at Gaston Day Prep.
Jamal Townsend Jamal Townsend 6'0" | CG Northern Nash | 2023 State NC | 6’0 Guard | Rocky Mount
Townsend is another prospect that emerged this grassroots season with Team Trezz . He’s due for a breakout sophomore season at Rocky Mount after putting up 9.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 2.4 apg and 1.5 spg as a member of the varsity squad. He should grow into a bigger role as a force on both ends in 2020-21 with his athleticism and three-level scoring ability.
Abrahm Driver Abrahm Driver 6'7" | PF Bull City Prep | 2023 State NC | 6’8 Forward | Bull City Prep
Driver will be a new face at Bull City Prep in 2020-21 that should turn heads given his ability to operate with the ball in his hands. He’s a versatile prospect at 6-foot-8 that can create in the post and on the perimeter, making him a lethal threat when given the right opportunities. Defensively, he uses his body and length well to alter shots and make his presence felt without fouling. He’ll be one to keep an eye on.
