2023 6-6 F Jacob Feagin – Forest Park
Blessed with outstanding length and terrific bloodlines, Feagin is a prospect to keep an eye on. He has terrific reach which helps him block shots and rebound. He’s very mobile and can play in up-tempo settings. Feagin looks like he may be able to squeeze out another inch or two, which would make him all that more intriguing considering he could become a combo-forward. Feagin will need to improve his ball handling and outside shot. He settled for too many threes at camp, but does have a workable jump shot that should get better over time and did show the ability to hit the mid-range. Once he fills out his body, he will be able to bang with more consistency inside. Feagin is a solid long-term project.
2023 5-8 PG Brendan Rose – Arabia Mountain
The undersized guard played within himself and proved to be a valuable teammate. He showed a high IQ when handling the ball and was in good position defensively. When he got to the hoop, he finished with a soft touch.
2023 5-7 CG Brock Ferrell – South Forsyth
A physically strong guard, Brock Ferrell played bigger than his listed height with his toughness and aggressiveness. Ferrell understood how to use his shoulders when attacking the rim and could shield off shot blockers by getting into their chests. Ferrell stood out with his nose for the ball, flying in for rebounds and earning his team second chance opportunities.
2023 5-6 PG Chance Whitfield – Union Grove
Though he was one of the smaller guards in camp, Chance Whitfield had no issue attacking the defense. He was sneaky good at getting to the basket and forcing the defense to collapse. When facing ball pressure, Whitfield held his own and was able to steady the offense.
2024 5-9 PG Kenyatta Bennett – Drew Charter
“Fearless” was how Kenyatta Bennett described his mindset heading into his freshman season. The mature playmaker has a good head on his shoulders and is willing to earn his minutes over the season. Bennett shined as a facilitator that always kept his head up to survey the floor. When he decided to get to the basket, he was able to do so with a burst of athleticism.
2023 5-8 PG Elias Harrison – Banneker
Elias’ attention to detail on defense made him standout as a teammate. He made multiple efforts to recover and help other defenders. On-ball, he had no issue with pressing up and making ballhandlers uncomfortable. Harrison was a winning player as a glue guy.

The young point guard picked his spots well on offense. He handled the ball and looked comfortable setting up an offense. Allen found himself in 50/50 situations and came away with loose balls.
