Cole Sinclair Cole Sinclair 6'1" | PG Winston-Salem Christian | 2022 State NC | 6’1 Guard | Durham Hurricanes | 2021
Sinclair is a highly underrecruited guard prospect that led the 17U Orange division in scoring this past weekend with 90 total points on 30.0 ppg. He’s a prospect that can score from all over the floor with the ball in his hands. He put up 36 points against the Georgia Stars and 33 points to open things against the Georgia Knights. Appalachian State is the latest school to reach out about him. He’s a prospect LM DI’s and high-major DII’s should be recruiting heavily.
AJ Smith AJ Smith 6'4" | CG Combine Academy | 2022 State NC | 6’4 Wing/Guard | Team Charlotte | 2022
Smith gives Team Charlotte one of the toughest backcourts to defend alongside Trey Green Trey Green 5'10" | PG Link Academy | 2023 #69 Nation MO . He’s a strong guard prospect that can score in a variety of ways and is tough to stop once he gets going downhill. He’s athletic with a ton of versatility given his frame and strength in the paint. He rebounds the ball and creates on the break with ease. His 17 points just added fuel to the fire in their big victory over Team Curry in the 17U Orange title game.
Jeremy Gregory Jeremy Gregory 6'8" | PF Oak Hill Academy | 2022 State NC | 6’8 Forward/Center | Team Charlotte | 2022
Gregory proved this past weekend that the post man isn’t dead with Team Charlotte . He was another top performer all weekend long for them while producing 11.5 ppg including 18 points in the championship game. He’s a physical prospect that uses his size on both ends to make his presence felt in the paint. He isn’t afraid to battle on the boards and affect shots on the defensive end, making him a solid two-way frontcourt presence. He’s a name that’s due to grow soon in the state of North Carolina.
MJ Collins MJ Collins 6'4" | CG Combine Academy | 2022 State #116 Nation NC | 6’4 Shooting Guard | Team Curry | 2022
Collins was a prospect that showed off his ability to knock down shots on the perimeter for Team Curry this past weekend. He’s created a lot of buzz already this past season at Westminster Catawba Christian and he met the “noise” so to speak with a solid showing at the shooting guard spot. He put up 11.5 ppg while spacing the floor with his shooting ability. His offer list continue to grow as well. Following his 16-point performance against Big Shots Select Winston-Salem, he earned offers from Xavier and Virginia Tech.
Jaden Daughtry Jaden Daughtry 6'6" | SF Benedictine College Prep | 2022 VA | 6’6 Wing/Forward | Team Marsh | 2022
Daughtry is a prospect that continues to get better by the weekend on the Big Shots stage. He finished Big Shots Carolina Live with 19.0 ppg while showing off his ability to play multiple roles on the floor. He’s an active presence on both ends and knows how to shed contact in traffic to finish around the rim. As he improves his shooting, look for more schools to put him on their recruiting board. He holds 12 offers already from the likes of Charleston Southern, Hampton, Old Dominion and others.
Knoah Carver Knoah Carver 6'2" | SF Charlotte Country Day | 2021 State NC | 6’4 Guard | Big Shots Elite Lewis | 2022
Carver is an intriguing prospect given his ability to score from the perimeter and get to the rim and finish around the rim. He made waves this past season at Ardrey Kell while producing 16.2 ppg, 3.4 rpg and 2.8 apg while shooting 36 percent from behind the arc on the wing. He showed off his talents this past weekend while putting up 18.0 ppg in the Big Shots Elite Lewis rotation. He closed out the weekend with 30 points while showing off his stroke from the arc in their final game of the weekend. Look for his recruitment to pick up this summer.
Trey Green Trey Green 5'10" | PG Link Academy | 2023 #69 Nation MO | 5’10 Guard | Team Charlotte | 2023
It’s hard to deny Green’s abilities as more than just a floor general given his ability to go on his own personal scoring runs with the ball in his hands. He showed off his ability to take over games while playing on the 17U Orange stage at Big Shots Carolina Live. He was a lot to handle as he posted 20 points including four straight 3-pointers in their championship victory over Team Curry. He’s a prospect high majors will be all over soon.
Caleb Foster Caleb Foster 6'4" | PG Notre Dame | 2023 State CA-S | 6’4 Point Guard | Team Curry | 2023
Foster was another 2023 prospect from the state of North Carolina playing up on the 17U stage at Big Shots Carolina Live. He showed poise running the show for their squad and showing he can do more than just score the ball while still averaging 11.5 ppg. He put up 10 points and 10 assists in their showdown against Team Charlotte , though things didn’t go in their favor. He’s a prospect that continues to improve as an all-around point guard and is due to draw attention from HMs as he has already. Washington, Georgetown and Virginia Tech are a few schools that have offered him already.
