William Blount #0 Cole Gibson (2022) #2 Caden Williamson (2021) #4 Marshall Cooper* (2021) #10 Caleb Linginfelter*(2021) #14 Trey Klemmer* (2021) #15 Matthew Klemmer (2023) #22 Jake England* (2021) #24 Riley EverettRileyEverett6'3" | PFWilliam Blount | 2023TN (2023) Maryville #2 Terrence Dorsey* (2022) #5 Davis Ernsberger* (2023) #11 Carter Cox (2022) #12 Josh SeilerJoshSeiler6'5" | SFMaryville | 2021StateTN* (2021) #24 Charlie Rice* (2021) Nick Johnson (2023) Lane Pinkerton (2023) Jack BrownJackBrown6'4" | SGMaryville | 2021StateTN (2021) Heritage #10 Nate MarshNateMarsh5'8" | PGHeritage | 2021StateTN* (2021) #14 Parker RotheryParkerRothery6'1" | PGHeritage | 2021StateTN* (2021) #11 Dylan Varitek #33 Ethan Golden* (2021) #40 Grant Campbell* (2023) Alcoa   Tai CatesTaiCates5'10" | PGAlcoa | 2023StateTN (Alcoa) Tremendous shooter. Tai put on a lot of muscle in the last year and he finishes better after the bump as a result.  His first-step quickness needs to improve and there is a need to avoid foul accumulation too.  Tai is a gamer though.  Finishes strong and taking over contests at the Class AA level is already common for the high school sophomore.   Jahvin CarterJahvinCarter6'1" | PGAlcoa | 2024TN (Alcoa) Automatic from the free-throw line.  Carter is that rare freshman with college offer (Missouri).  As silly as it is to offer a college scholarship 3 years in advance it does speak to his talent, size, and potential.  Carter can handle like a senior star and finish anywhere on the floor.  His rise and strength will only improve with his natural maturation.  Terrence Dorsey (Maryville) Dorsey is an interesting, positionless prospect. His athleticism and defensive ceiling suggest he will compete for a post-HS career spot somewhere. Jack BrownJackBrown6'4" | SGMaryville | 2021StateTN (Maryville) Well-rounded scorer with plus bounce.  Brown typically leads a balanced Maryville team in scoring.  Division II all day. Josh SeilerJoshSeiler6'5" | SFMaryville | 2021StateTN (Maryville) Josh SeilerJoshSeiler6'5" | SFMaryville | 2021StateTN can play baseball or basketball beyond high school. Good wing height.  Strong catch-and-shoot guy.  His ability to drive is only modest for a college wing though he is strong enough to finish at the rim after contact. Parker RotheryParkerRothery6'1" | PGHeritage | 2021StateTN (Heritage) Parker suffered through and then conquered severe knee pain, mostly.  He views himself as 60% now with the 100% lurking around the corner after his planned post-season knee surgery. "Well, what happened is I don’t have any cartilage in my knees," said Rothery. "On the left one I have had an arthroscope surgery and then a cartilage transplant and that one is good to go. My right one doesn’t have any, so I had a micro fracture surgery on it before the season to get me through the year and as soon as the high school season is over I am going to have to get the cartilage transplant done and be good to play college. Once I get that done that should be my final surgery." Rothery is fighting through the remainder of his high school career in pain. "One more thing about my knees, right now I think that I’m playing about 60% because the pain and swelling, but after I have my surgery when the season is over I will be 100% for my 4 year career per Dr Mathien." https://twitter.com/Park3r_14/status/1353492948600680448?s=20 Grant Campbell (Heritage) Campbell is an already-tall sophomore with room to grow.  Can hit the spot-up to about 18’ if given the time. Drew Napier (Alcoa) Drew is both skilled and passionate, two things that will serve him well in a ferocious competition for a small college guard scholarship.  He can do it.  Napier is adept with the handle and unafraid of contact though he needs to add more heft to endure the bumps in the lane.
