Tayshaun Garolds Tayshaun Garolds 6'5" | PF New Bern | 2025 NC | 6’5 Power Forward
Garolds is a 6-foot-5 big man with a ton of upside given his size and strength already. He moves well with and without the ball in his hands and does well to establish position on both ends and make his presence felt in the paint and on the glass. He’s a name to know in 2025.
J’quarius Carr J’quarius Carr 6'4" | PF Eastern Wayne | 2025 NC | 6’4 Forward/Center
Carr is a sizeable big man that uses his size and frame well on both ends to establish position on the interior and make his presence felt. He was a FAB40 ENC attendee this past fall and has emerged on the grassroots scene with the Carolina Swarm. He uses his frame well to alter shots and act as a rim protector. He’s an early name to watch this summer.
Grant Clayton Grant Clayton 6'7" | C AC Reynolds | 2025 State NC | 6’6 Center
Clayton is a name to keep an eye on at AC Reynolds High School. He’s a 6-foot-6 post man with a nice touch on his shot on the interior and on the outside with nice mobility to go along with it. He’s a young prospect to keep an eye on alongside Rakease Passmore Rakease Passmore 6'6" | SF Combine Academy | 2024 State #50 Nation NC in the AC Reynolds rotation.
Mason Brown Mason Brown 6'8" | C South Granville | 2025 State NC | 6’5 Center
Brown is a young prospect headed to South Granville that’s worth keeping an eye on. He’s got some things to work on but given his youth, he should use his freshman season to get some experience under his belt. As he adjusts to the speed of the high school game, look for him to have a bright future.
Jayzion Davis Jayzion Davis 6'4" | SF Hoggard | 2025 State NC | 6’2 Forward
Davis has been a standout on the grassroots scene with Flight 22 Wilmington this spring/summer. He’s a prospect with good instincts in the paint and around the rim as a finisher. He’s got a solid frame he uses well to operate in the post.
