Fred Whitaker Fred Whitaker 5'11" | PG Northwood | 2024 State NC | 5’11 Guard
From No. 31 to No. 26
Whitaker is a guard who’s seen a slight bump in his ranking with a strong summer finish with the Chapel Hill Blue Flames. While his primary position is the point guard spot, he’s capable of playing without the ball and expending that energy on the defensive end to make key stops, as he’s done on the grassroots and high school scene. He’s another prospect to keep an eye on at Northwood High.
Zion Walker Zion Walker 6'2" | PG The Burlington School | 2024 State NC | 6’2 Guard/Wing
From No. 38 to No. 30
Walker is another prospect that’s seen a slight bump in his ranking from No. 38 to No. 30. He’s a versatile prospect with good strength/frame that allows him to guard bigger opponents and a nice shooting stroke on the perimeter on the offensive end. He holds offers already from Coastal Carolina and North Carolina A&T.
Jamarion Wall Jamarion Wall 5'11" | PG Richmond County Senior | 2024 State NC | 5’11 Point Guard
From No. 60 to No. 40
Wall is an emerging floor general with a ton of promise getting downhill and getting to the rim. Couple that with his quickness on the defensive end that allows him to create fastbreak opportunities makes him quite an intriguing point guard. He’s another prospect at Richmond County Senior High to keep an eye on in 2021-22 given his ability to operate off the bounce.
Miles Beard Miles Beard 6'3" | CG Moravian Prep | 2024 State NC | 6’2 Guard
From No. 56 to No. 43
Beard is a combo guard that’s really come along this past grassroots cycle with CC Elite 2024 while playing up on the 16U stage. He’s got a nice build along with nice athleticism that allows him to make plays at the rim and finish through traffic. His recruitment should grow at Hickory Ridge High as he shows he can knock down shots on all three levels.
Jaylen Sturdivant Jaylen Sturdivant 6'4" | CG Hoke | 2024 State NC | 6’3 Guard
From No. 54 to No. 44
Sturdivant is a rising prospect in the 2024 rankings that developed well with Sandhills Machine program this past cycle. He’s got good instincts off the bounce and makes electric plays on all three levels already. He’s set to have a strong season at Hoke County High this season given what he can do.
