Ellis Graham Ellis Graham 6'9" | PF Gray Collegiate | 2024 State #305 Nation SC – East Clarendon HS (Turbeville) – Team USC 2024
Graham is a jumping jack in the paint for Team USC. Graham averaged 6.4 ppg, 9 rebounds and 5.6 blocks this season for the Wolverines. Graham glides over the floor with his great length and ability to cover a lot of ground. Graham needs to add weight down the road and still looks to be growing. Graham really has the ability to contest shots on the defensive end of the floor.
Daylon Johnson Daylon Johnson 6'2" | PG Washington | 2024 SC – Greenville HS – Team South Carolina (pictured on front)
Johnson helped Team South Carolina to a runner-up finish in the 15U Bracket before losing to the Georgia Stars. Johnson one of the biggest players on the roster for Head Coach Mike Alexander. Johnson uses his body well to draw contact going to the cup. Johnson played on the varsity level this season for the Red Raiders and will look to be more of a factor moving on down the road.
Jeremy Cook Jeremy Cook 5'9" | PG JL Mann | 2024 State SC – JL Mann HS (Greenville) – Team South Carolina
Cook is a vocal leader on the floor for Team South Carolina. Cook is not very big in size but sure packs a good punch on the defensive end of the floor. Cook has a good feel for the game and looks to have a good spring and summer for Team South Carolina.
Jaquarious Patterson Jaquarious Patterson 6'6" | SF T.L. Hanna | 2024 State SC – TL Hanna HS (Anderson) – Carolina Hawks
Patterson already has a good look to him at the forward spot for the Hawks. Patterson likes to play on the wing and still must work on skills from the perimeter. Patterson saw some great minutes this past season for the Yellow Jackets at the varsity level. Patterson averaged 7 ppg and 5 rebounds while starting 18 games this past season.
Cooper Wiley Cooper Wiley 6'3" | SF A.C. Flora | 2024 State SC – AC Flora HS – SC Wolves
Wiley a left-handed wing player has a nice mid-range jumper. Wiley was able to drop some floaters along the baseline and add some cheapies in transition when leaking out on the break. Wiley has a good feel for the game and really passed the ball well to set up his teammates at times.
