Bryce Slay Bryce Slay 6'5" | SG Carmel Christian | 2025 State #276 Nation NC | 6’4 Guard/Wing | United Faith Christian Academy
Slay is a rising prospect set to start his prep career at United Faith Christian Academy and could contribute right away to the lineup. He’s got nice size already at 6-foot-4 that he uses well to defend, rebound and operate off the bounce on the wing. He had a productive grassroots season with TSB Elite, showing off his advanced skill set as a facilitator and creator. It will be interesting to see if it translates into his freshman year.
Jakson Cullen Jakson Cullen 6'2" | SG Cape Fear Christian Academy | 2025 State NC | 6’2 Shooting Guard | Cape Fear Christian Academy
Cullen is a sharpshooting prospect in the 2025 class set to debut at Cape Fear Christian Academy. He’s an emerging creator off the catch and off the bounce that played up on the grassroots stage (15U) this past cycle while showing off his confidence as a shooter and downhill finisher. He should be a name to keep an eye on in 2021-22.
Yohance Connor Yohance Connor 6'3" | CG Combine Academy | 2026 State NC | 6’3 Wing/Guard | Winston-Salem Prep
Connor is an up-and-coming name at Winston-Salem Prep in the class. He’s fearless finishing in traffic and has good shooting potential that could develop. His biggest asset is his ability to move without the ball and find open spots to score points. He’ll be a prospect who defenders will need to keep their eyes on or he’ll make them pay.
Wesley White Wesley White 6'7" | PF Hickory Ridge | 2025 State NC | 6’6 Forward/Center | Lake Norman Christian
White is a frontcourt prospect to keep an early eye on at Lake Norman Christian School. He’s got good instincts around the rim, using his footwork to score through traffic. He’s got solid mobility to defend on the perimeter and in the paint as well. He’s a big man to watch in the 2025 class in the state.
Addison Newkirk Addison Newkirk 6'6" | SF Greensboro Day | 2025 State NC | 6’3 Forward/Wing | Greensboro Day School
Newkirk is another 2025 prospect in the state that could contribute right away in the Greensboro Day rotation given his ability to knock down shots, fly around for rebounds and make hustle plays. He’s got some versatility and length in his wheelhouse that he uses well to make plays and should do similar for the Bengals in 2021-22.
