Devin Gillespie Devin Gillespie 6'3" | CG Cheraw | 2022 State SC – Cheraw HS
Gillespie is best suited on the wing especially with Marshall Myers Marshall Myers 5'11" | PG Cheraw | 2021 State SC as the point guard for the Braves program. Gillespie a rangy player is very good in the passing lanes with his ability to pickup deflections. Gillespie is a streaky shooter and has been on the varsity since his 8th grade year. Gillespie plays defensive back on the football team in the fall.
Kylic Horton Kylic Horton 6'5" | PF Clarendon Hall | 2022 State SC – Clarendon Hall (Summerton) (pictured on the front)
Horton was shaking off the rust since he hadn’t played basketball since the Saints won the SCISA Class 1A State Championship Game for the 2nd year in a row back in February. Horton 6’6 now plays wide receiver and has received pretty good recruitment along the way according to Head Coach Anthony Reitenhour. Horton has filled out with his frame and has a long wingspan. Horton will have to make a decision down what sport he would like to play in college ?
Mikey Templeton Mikey Templeton 6'3" | SF Orangeburg Prep | 2022 State SC – Orangeburg Prep
Templeton will wear a new uniform this season. Templeton has transferred over from Andrew Jackson Academy where he averaged 14 ppg last season. Templeton was able to connect on some perimeter jumpers here today.
Jeremiah Harris Jeremiah Harris 6'4" | SF Airport | 2022 State SC – Airport HS
Harris a rangy forward who really likes to play out on the perimeter. Harris still must get stronger was able to leak out in transition today for some cheapies. Harris can shoot the ball from behind the arc. Harris played on the Grassroots Circuit with the Soda City Spartans.
Rettek Owens Rettek Owens 6'3" | SF Mauldin | 2022 State SC – Mauldin HS
Owens really doesn’t have a true position on the floor. Owens just brings good versatility and toughness. Owens won’t overwhelm you with anyone thing he does on the floor. Owens will rebound on both ends of the floor or take charge, dive for a loose ball or hit a open shot. Owens is a player that every program should have a good role guy.
Leslie Owens Jr Leslie Owens Jr 6'6" | SF 212 Sports Academy | 2023 FL – Sumter HS
Owens is a very versatile who can play all over the floor. Owens continues to improve his game and it will interesting to see what position he plays down the road. Owens can handle the rock some, defend multiple positions and hit open shots from 15-17 feet. Owens is just one of the several juniors on the Gamecocks roster this season for Head Coach Bryan Brown.
Ryan Hawkins Ryan Hawkins 6'4" | SF Dorman | 2022 State SC – Dorman HS
Hawkins might be playing some on the wing this season with the Cavaliers already having plenty of talent in the backcourt. Hawkins played at Oakbrook Prep the past few seasons. Hawkins is a deceptive athlete and has really good length. Hawkins plays the game very hard and really competes at a high level.
Daniel Lee – Fort Dorchester HS
Lee was a new name for me this weekend. Lee showed some BIG-TIME BOUNCE on a dunk today. Lee looked to attack the rack whenever possible here at the Top 250 Expo.
Jamie Muldowney Jamie Muldowney 6'7" | SF Trinity Collegiate | 2022 State SC – Trinity Collegiate (Darlington)
Prep Hoops wasn’t able to see Muldowney play as he went down with a ankle injury during the day.
