Frazer a strong guard was able to get the ball into the paint today or dish out to the open man. Frazer plays the game with a great bit of confidence and will be a great addition to a very talented Blazers backcourt this season.
Thomas Oppold Thomas Oppold 6'3" | SG Lucy Beckham | 2023 State SC – Lucy Beckham HS (Mount Pleasant)
Oppold will play for the Bengals this season and Head Coach Andrew Glover. Oppold is a bull-eyes shooter at times and really can shoot the ball at a high percentage. Oppold plays very well away from the ball and is always shot ready to receive it.
Jude Wilkins Jude Wilkins 6'1" | SG Legacy Early College | 2023 State SC – JL Mann HS
Wilkins will be back in the Upstate this season at JL Mann HS after playing last season at Fairfield Central. Wilkins was all over the court today with his hustle. Wilkins was able to connect on some open jumpers out on the perimeter.
Taevean Famutimi-Brown Taevean Famutimi-Brown 6'1" | PG Balboa | 2023 SC – Trinity Collegiate (Darlington) (pictured on the front)

Rhett Norris Rhett Norris 5'10" | PG Wando | 2023 State SC – Wando HS (Mount Pleasant)
Norris is a human floor burn at the times. Norris is a tough-minded kid that you just love to cheer for and have on your team. Norris will take a charge, grab a loose ball, rebound, hit a shot, deflect a pass and just give you hustle points all night long.
Lukas Schou Lukas Schou 6'7" | PF Oceanside Collegiate | 2023 State SC – Oceanside Collegiate (Mount Pleasant)
Schou plays in the paint with his back to the basket. Schou was able to connect on a few put-backs. Schou can be a mover-screener type in the paint while drawing contact.
Prince Johnson Prince Johnson 6'7" | PF Pebblebrook | 2023 State GA – Marlboro County HS (Bennettsville)
Johnson is a new name for sure this coming season for the Bulldogs. Johnson 6’6 likes to play face-up at times from the basket and can go down low in the paint. Johnson has the ability to alter and challenge shots on the defensive end of the floor.
Quinton Dugdale – Wando HS (Mount Pleasant)
Dugale 5’7 might be small in height but sure not determination. Dugdale kept the ball low to the floor and was able to connect on some open shots here today. Dugdale is very coachable and was always looking to make the pass first.
