As he continues to climb, look for college coaches to start recruiting him more. Treyvon Byrd Treyvon Byrd 6'5" | SF Bull City Prep | 2022 State NC | 6’8 Wing/Guard From No. 80 to No. 61 Byrd has been an intriguing prospect in the 2022 class and finds himself back on the ascent with NLPB 204.

He recently earned an offer from UNC-Wilmington.  Joshua Scovens Joshua Scovens 6'5" | SF Page | 2022 State NC | 6’5 Forward/Wing From No. 92 to No. 59 Scovens is slowly climbing up the radar after showing his development in the Page High rotation this past high school season.

Look for his name to get hot in the state soon. Graham Worland Graham Worland 6'5" | CG Hough | 2022 State NC | 6’4 Guard/Wing From No. 95 to No. 78 Worland finds himself climbing up the 2022 ranks as a versatile slashing threat with a ton of athleticism.

He uses his length and athleticism on both ends to fly around to make an impact with Team Charlotte.
