Avantae Parker Avantae Parker 6'9" | PF Gray Collegiate | 2023 State SC – Gray Collegiate
Parker has already been making waves since joining the program at Gray Collegiate. Parker a White Knoll HS transfer will be a name that will be garnering plenty of interest from college programs down the road if not sooner.
Brenton Elliott Brenton Elliott 6'7" | SF York Prep | 2022 State SC – York Prep (Rock Hill)
Elliott is a new name to add to the database after coming over from the Hoop State. Elliott comes over from Gaston Christian (NC) and Rod Howard Select on the Grassroots Circuit. Elliott is just another piece to the puzzle for the talented Patriots roster.
Kendall Williams Kendall Williams 6'3" | SF Spring Valley | 2023 SC – Spring Valley HS
Williams isn’t flashy at all but he does what Head Coach Cypheus Bunton tells him to do. Williams will dive on the floor, post up with his back to the basket all while competing in the paint for the Vikings.
Kristian Hodges Kristian Hodges 6'4" | SF Legacy Early College | 2023 State SC – JL Mann HS (Greenville) (pictured on front)
Hodges was able to post-up and be a power guy at times today for the Patriots. Hodges isn’t afraid to take a charge while defending a post player down on the block. Hodges a strong framed player played his best basketball 5 feet in today and along the way hustled for every loose ball.
Myles Squirewell Myles Squirewell 6'6" | PF Lakewood | 2023 State SC – Ridge View HS
Myles really likes to bring his lunch pale to work especially when he cleans up on the glass. Squirewell really battles for position in the paint and grabs every rebound it seems. Myles a undersized but very effective post understands his role on the floor for the Blazers and embraces it.
Dominick Jones Dominick Jones 6'3" | PG West Florence | 2023 State SC – Wilson HS (Florence)
Jones is a bit of a swiss army knife and does a bit of everything for Head Coach Carlos Powell. Jones isn’t fancy at all with his play but effective on the floor. Jones brings great energy to the floor if it comes to rebounding, grabbing a loose ball, handling the rock or defending all over the floor.
Brandon Crawford Brandon Crawford 6'10" | PF Irmo | 2023 State SC – Irmo HS
Crawford is a RAW project in the middle for Head Coach Tim Whipple. Prep Hoops first saw Crawford earlier in the spring playing with the HYB Raptors on the Grassroots Circuit. Crawford will alter and challenge shots down in the paint and run the floor very well. Brandon really needs to develop a post move down the road. Crawford does a good job of keeping the ball up high and scoring around the basket when given the opportunity.
Corean Nelson Corean Nelson 6'0" | CG Crestwood | 2023 State SC – Crestwood HS (Dalzell)
Nelson a point guard stirs the drink for the Knights offense and Head Coach Aric Samuel. Nelson has good shot elevation on his shot. Corean is shifty with the ball in his hands to get by defenders with that next gear.
Andarrius Young – Fairfield Central HS (Winnsboro)
Young a left-handed point guard really does a good job coming screens and turning the corner to the basket. Young has the ability to knockdown shots on the perimeter for the Mighty Griffins.
