Darren Lloyd Darren Lloyd 5'8" | PG West Florence | 2023 State SC (2023) – West Florence HS
Lloyd is a tough minded guard and with Hudson will form a great 1-2 punch in the backfield and backcourt for the Knights. Darren really scraps for everything he brings to the hardwood. Lloyd is a pesky on the ball defender and really looks to bring chaos and several steals to the table night in and night out.
Zandae Butler Zandae Butler 6'2" | CG Wilson | 2023 SC (2023) – Wilson HS
Butler is just coming off a solid football season for the Tigers as a wide receiver. Butler and the Tigers approach to the game is playing extremely hard every time out when they touch the floor. Butler finished the football season with 39 receptions – 662 yards and 6 touchdowns.

Jamarie Brown Jamarie Brown 6'3" | PG South Florence | 2024 State SC (2024) – South Florence HS
Brown has a nice pull-up mid-range jumper to go with shifty handles. Jamarie has a decent stroke from the perimeter to keep defenders honest when he’s not trying to shake and bake to the cup.
