1. Give a name from the 2021 class with no offers, but you believe worthy of one or more?
Giacubeno: I’m not sure how many times I have to say this, but…JAMES GROSS. JAMES GROSS. JAMES GROSS. The 6-foot-3 guard is a can’t miss low to mid-major prospect an brings valuable intangibles to the table. After doing some digging, Gross’ recruitment is wide open and if I was a local low-major program, I’d be all over him. Equipped with explosive athleticism, Gross brings playmaking ability in the open floor, defensive versatility and a toughness that can spread quickly through a roster. It’s been made apparent that many programs are backing off of their 2021 recruitment as players on their current rosters have been granted an extra year of eligibility, but I’m extremely confident in saying that if a roster spot is open, Gross is well worth it.
Ayalew: Trenton Picott is one name that comes to mind. South County’s versatile forward displays an underrated skill set on offense and is a smart defender who guards multiple positions. Picott moves well for his size and can also hit perimeter jumpers while open when his are feet set.
Wilson: This has been said countless times by us but I am going to go with Mike Myrie Mike Myrie 6'2" | CG Magruder | 2021 NC . Myrie is a 6’2 combo guard who recently transferred to North Mecklenburg High School (NC), but used to attend Magruder. Myrie has elite athleticism that allows him to play at least at the low major level. Once Myrie gets going, he is very tough to stop as he can score the basketball in bunches and is a big time threat running out in transition. It is simply mind boggling that Myrie does not have more D1 attention.
