Lindsay is set to leave for Howard University come this June to play football next year in college. Lindsay a Quarterback on the gridiron laced them up this weekend and played very well.

Measmer confirmed to Prep Hoops he will be playing next year at Coker University (NCAA D2). Measmer was able to hit open shots wherever he was on the floor today.

Deyton Albury – Believe Prep (Rock Hill) – Defenders Elite 17U
I have seen Albury a few times prior this weekend playing with Believe Prep and Head Coach Kevin Jackson. Albury attended originally from the Bahamas played at Sunrise Christian (KS) a year ago. Albury plays the game extremely HARD and does all of his work around the basket. Albury has limited perimeter skills but makes up for it in the paint with his constant activity on put-backs, attention to loose balls and just GRIT and DETERMINATION on the floor. Albury has solid academics in the classroom according to Coach Jackson.
Ryan Smith Ryan Smith 6'6" | SF Hillcrest | 2021 State SC – Hillcrest HS (Simpsonville) – Big Shots SC UNSIGNED McDaniels
Smith was effective playing inside-out around the basket today. Smith can step-out and knockdown the 17-19 foot jump shot or he can post up with his back to the basket. Smith worked well from block to block at times today and was ready to receive the ball in the paint with his his ability to stay active on the floor.
