Kai Simmons Kai Simmons 6'8" | C St. Francis | 2021 State GA (2021, GA Canes) - The most potent part of his game at 6-8 RJ Godfrey RJ Godfrey 6'7" | PF North Gwinnett | 2022 State GA (2022, Atlanta XPress) - So quick off the deck with amazingly sticky hands, goes to the glass with an abandon Isaac Abidde Isaac Abidde 6'8" | PF Westover | 2021 State GA (2021, AC Georgia) - Easily good enough to be on multiple lists from the weekend, at 6-8 with a college body is a force on the glass Dastin Hart (2023, Wood Elite) - Combos great effort with sneaky athleticism to be a top rising cleaner Khameron Hill (2023, GA Kings Billingsley) - Big body but nimble and crafty to the glass Darius Reynolds (2023, GA Fire Premier) - So quick off the deck, combines good size with a great frame Monte Callaway (2022, West Alabama Elite [AL]) - Not overly big or strong but so smart and plays the position game on the glass Avery Childress (2022, West Alabama Elite [AL]) - Outworks and out-hustles as wing rebounder and a pain in the neck Zaquien Whitehead (2022, Tri-City Elite) - One of the better pure big men I saw, great length and  and quick to the ball off the miss R’Chaun King (2024, TSF) - A man already at an early stage, simply can out-physical most 2024s and is built like a truck Micah Smith Micah Smith 6'7" | SF Sandy Creek | 2024 GA (2024, AOT) - Simply too good to not appear on multiple lists, at a freakishly athletic 6-7 and long can dominate the glass in spurts Sam Alexis (2023, Team Tmac [FL], pictured above) - So impressive across the board it was his rebounding that put him in the D1 category right now Jeremiah Flournoy (2022, D-Favors Celtics) - A bit undersized under the rim but makes up for it with effort and craftiness Alex Acosta Alex Acosta 6'5" | PF North Cobb | 2022 State GA (2022, GA Legacy) - Put on one of the weekend’s best single-game rebounding performances with great positioning and hustle Domonik Henderson Domonik Henderson 6'3" | SG Monroe | 2022 State GA (2022, GA Canes) - My first time seeing him and he blew me away with his lift, athleticism and undeterred fight on the boards Jared Weakley (2022, Heat Elite [NY]) - Like a jumping jack, never gave up on the play, good size and terrific hands
