Etienne Strothers Etienne Strothers 6'1" | PG Menchville | 2023 State VA is the younger brother of 2021 Allen Strothers Allen Strothers 6'2" | PG Menchville | 2021 State VA and is shaping out to be one of the top guards in the state from the 2023 class. He is skilled and showed off a deep jump shot.
Bryson Spell Bryson Spell 6'7" | PF Cape Henry | 2021 State VA seems to be flying under the radar a little bit but this past weekend was some of the best I have seen from him. He scored in a variety of ways and showed great hustle on the boards, especially the offensive glass. Spell continued to show how well he can stretch the floor.
Patrick Ngongba is a big 2024 kid out of Highland School that has a ton of potential. Standing at 6’7 with tons of muscle already on him and bulky shoulders, he will do a lot of stuff down low in the post. Once he learns more about the game, Ngongba will be a matchup nightmare in the low post because of his size.
Donald Hand Jr. and Jayden Epps Jayden Epps 6'1" | CG Combine Academy | 2022 State #41 Nation NC matched up against each other and both showed why they are two nationally ranked kids. Both of these 2022 prospects will have a slew of power five schools to choose from.
2021 Quentin Livingston Quentin Livingston 6'4" | SF Kings Fork | 2021 State VA was by far one of the best 2021 available prospects in the gym this past Saturday. He was always active and played with good energy all day. He showed off some nifty no look passes while also executing some good pump fakes and then getting past his defender to score the basketball. Livingston did it all this past Saturday and showed he can play at the scholarship level.
