Likely the best motor in Georgia, Aidan Hadaway Aidan Hadaway 6'6" | SF Lafayette | 2022 State GA has risen up the rankings thanks to his effort and consistency. He’s a double-double machine and attacks rebounds with his springy lift. The lefty is an inside-out threat and is quick enough to beat his man off the dribble. His three-point shot is getting better.

Asher Woods Asher Woods 6'3" | CG Parkview | 2022 State GA is a smooth scorer that can put in points from all three levels. He can play either on or off the ball. He knows how to work angles when getting to the hoop and can finish through contact. Woods can be a streaky outside shooter, but when his shot is dropping, it opens up more driving lanes where he can choose to score or distribute.

JaQuez Thornton JaQuez Thornton 6'0" | PG Drew Charter | 2022 State GA skyrockets 68 spots and he’s not done yet. He’s turning into an elite guard that will be a point guard full-time at the next level. He has great court vision and is a blur when getting to the basket. He routinely beats his man off the dribble and finishes with either hand at the rim. The southpaw is a knockdown outside shooter and a fierce competitor. Thornton can lock up on defense and has active hands that frustrate opposing ball handlers. He looks like a D-I prospect that will only continue to get better.
