#22 Zachariah LaBoo Jr. Zachariah LaBoo Jr. 6'6" | SF East Hamilton (football) | 2023 State TN (East Hamilton)
Few sophomores boast a stronger physique than Zachariah LaBoo Jr. Zachariah LaBoo Jr. 6'6" | SF East Hamilton (football) | 2023 State TN . Perhaps much of his physical development can be attributed to to his football training.
Teamed with Keelan Jackson Keelan Jackson 6'4" | SF Tyner Academy | 2023 State TN on an ascending We Get Buckets AAU team.

#23 Shamar Porter Shamar Porter 6'5" | SF Ensworth (football) | 2023 TN (Ensworth)
Shamar is an absurdly athletic dual-sport athlete with recent college football offers from Ole Miss, Tennessee, and more. Like LaBoo, Porter dominates basketball games with a tremendous athleticism advantage. The outside shooting is not impressive. Hustle plays and rebounding are really where he shines currently. Porter will certainly be splitting time in his skill development between basketball and football. To be blunt this will limit his basketball potential. At this moment though there are not 30 people statewide with better basketball potential.
#24 Rodney Broadnax Rodney Broadnax 6'5" | PF Cleveland | 2023 TN ((Cleveland)
Rodney Broadnax Rodney Broadnax 6'5" | PF Cleveland | 2023 TN is a wonderful two-handed rebounder. His power at a young age is tremendous, but there is a long-term concern over his position of prominence. Will he grow taller into a college forward? Will he develop the capacity to defend the perimeter at a much higher level? It is tough to project deep into his future development clearly. Still, Broadnax produces now. He is effective now. Cleveland High will certainly continue their excellence thanks to RB’s talents and skills.
