Logan Threatt Logan Threatt 6'3" | PG Carmel Christian | 2022 State NC | 6’3 Point Guard | Carmel Christian
Threatt has transitioned quite nicely to the point guard spot over in the Carmel Christian rotation as they’re 7-0 on the young season. He’s producing 13.3 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 4.1 apg and 2.0 spg as the lead guard in the backcourt for the Cougars while shooting 47 percent from the field. He hasn’t had to show off his perimeter shooting just yet but he’s been active on the glass and playmaking front to offset things. Mid-major and low-major DI, especially in the state, would be wise to take a look at him. Hampton, USC Upstate and UNC-Wilmington have already offered him as well.
Brent Randleman Brent Randleman 6'3" | CG Piedmont Classical | 2022 State NC | 6’3 Guard | Piedmont Classical
Randleman is off to a hot start over at Piedmont Classical, picking up where he left off over the grassroots season with NC Gaters. He’s developed a solid frame and his athleticism has peaked at the right time. He’s as confident and comfortable as ever getting downhill and making plays at the rim and uses his length to make an impact on the defensive end. Low-major DI’s and DII’s should give him a look.
Jessie Mitchell Jessie Mitchell 6'4" | SG Grace Christian (Sanford) | 2022 State NC | 6’4 Guard/Wing | Grace Christian (Sanford)
Mitchell is a late-blooming prospect that recently moved back into the 2022 class over at Grace Christian School over in Sanford. He’s been pivotal in their 7-1 start to the season with 17.5 ppg and 4.6 rpg on 55 percent shooting from the field. He’s also dialed it up from behind the arc, shooting 41 percent from 3-point land so far. He’s a high IQ guard/wing that uses his frame and size well to create off the bounce and operate off the dribble. He’s a prospect high-major DII’s and low-major DII’s should take a look at.
TJ Ragland TJ Ragland 6'2" | PG Henderson Collegiate | 2022 State NC | 6’2 Guard | Henderson Collegiate
Ragland has been a model of consistency in the Henderson Collegiate backcourt, producing 17.0 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 3.1 apg and 3.0 spg, showing off his all-around abilities as more than just a scoring guard. He’s an efficient 50 percent shooter from the floor but he’s showing he can rebound, defend and make plays for others given his quickness and underrated athleticism. As he shows he can control the pace of the game and get others involved in scoring, he’ll be a prospect to watch in the class. DIIIs and JUCOs would be wise to give him a look.
James Jones IV James Jones IV 6'2" | CG Thales Academy | 2022 State NC | 6’2 Guard | Thales Academy (Rolesville)
Jones is off to quite the start for Thales Academy, showing his growth out of the summer months. He’s posted 21.8 ppg, 10.5 rpg, 4.0 apg and 2.0 spg as a stat-sheet stuffer for his squad. He’s a wiry guard that plays with a ton of energy and knows how to make an impact as a scorer, playmaker and defender. He’s posted two double-doubles already through four games and led the way with 32 points in a victory over Oak Forest on Nov. 22. He’s set to have a strong senior campaign after a productive summer. DIIs and DIIIs, especially in the area, would be wise to give him a look.
Trevor Button Trevor Button 6'3" | CG Emerson Waldorf | 2022 State NC | 6’3 Guard | Emerson Waldorf
Button started the season on a tear and continues to show off his ability to score in bunches on all three levels. He posted 38 points and nine rebounds on 13-of-20 shooting from the field and 4-of-6 from 3-point range against Carolina Friends on Tuesday night. He’s posting 27.2 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 4.4 apg and 2.8 spg through their first five games of the season. DII and DIIIs in need of a scorer, playmaker and defender, look no further.
