Aries Hull Aries Hull 6'8" | PF HHCA | 2023 TN | Hamilton Heights
from No. 80 to No. 68
Hull makes a move from Winston-Salem Christian over to Hamilton Heights (TN) where he’ll look to be an inside-out threat. He was underutilized a bit at his previous school given his ability to fly around defensively for blocks/rebounds and solid footwork in the paint to finish at the rim.
Zechariah Barbour Zechariah Barbour 6'4" | PF Forest Hills | 2023 State NC | Forest Hills
from No. 179 to No. 118
Barbour continues to climb up the 2023 rankings with his ability to play a physical brand of basketball. He’s a strong prospect on the interior at 6-foot-6 that uses his strength well to get position in the paint and finish through contact around the rim. Though undersized, he’s proven he can battle on the interior on both ends and be a presence with his length.
D’Markus Tucker D’Markus Tucker 6'4" | PF Crossroads Christian | 2023 State NC | Riverside
from No. 187 to No. 123
Tucker is another forward/big prospect at 6-foot-5 that isn’t necessarily the tallest but he makes up for it with his effort and strength. He does well to stay within himself and finds teammates from the high post area for points. He’s got a good feel on the floor on where to be to make things happen.
Patrick Tivnan Patrick Tivnan 6'8" | C Charlotte Catholic | 2023 State NC | Charlotte Catholic
from No. 169 to No. 148
Tivnan is an underrated big man at 6-foot-9 set to do work in the Charlotte Catholic rotation in 2021-22. He’s got solid instincts as a mobile prospect that can guard on the perimeter and in the paint. As he learns to be more aggressive on the offensive end, look for his recruitment to grow.
Jahterius Horne Jahterius Horne 6'3" | PF Hunt | 2023 State NC | Hunt High
from WatchList to No. 145
Horne finds himself at No. 145 in the latest rankings update following a solid grassroots season with Team DBGH. He does well to get to the rim and finish authority through traffic. He’s quite the ball handler in the open court as well that can find his way to the paint and make an impact as a passer. As he shows off his shooting ability, look for his name to grow in the class.
