No. 92 Julien King Julien King 6'3" | CG GRACE Christian | 2023 State NC | 6’3 Guard | GRACE Christian
King is a new face in the class over at GRACE Christian School in Raleigh that’s playing well. He led the way with 14.7 ppg, 4.8 rpg and 1.6 apg for the Eagles as a presence in the backcourt. He shot 46 percent from the field and 38 percent from the 3-point range and remains as a top scoring guard in the Top 100 ranks.
No. 96 Jared Davis Jared Davis 6'5" | PF Seventy-First | 2023 State NC | 6’5 Forward | Seventy-First
Davis is a mobile forward prospect with a knack for making things happen around the rim on both ends of the floor. He produced 13.9 ppg and 7.6 rpg on the interior as a clean-up guy on the glass and a finisher when given post opportunities. He’s an underrated name for DII and DIII schools to get eyes on.
No. 97 Ellija Preddy Ellija Preddy 6'0" | PG Mount Zion Christian Academy | 2024 NC | 6’0 Point Guard | Wakefield
Preddy is a prospect that had a solid season in the Wakefield rotation in 2021-22. He averaged 13.4 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 3.4 apg and 1.6 spg while showing he can run the show for the Wolverines in his junior campaign. As he shows off his ability to take over games, look for his stock to grow in the class.
No. 103 Kyshon Atkinson Kyshon Atkinson 5'10" | PG Greenfield | 2023 State NC | 5’9 Point Guard | Greenfield School
Atkinson is a name that should climb up the ranks before it’s all said and done over at Greenfield School. He’s a strong, stocky floor general with a nice handle of the ball and ability to find teammates in space. He’s a point guard DII and DIII schools would instantly fall in love with.
No. 105 RJ Bridges RJ Bridges 6'4" | CG Jordan | 2023 State NC | 6’4 Guard | Jordan
Bridges is another new face in the Jordan High rotation that’s turned heads with his play in the 2023 class. He’s a two-way presence that’s posted 8.1 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 1.9 apg and 1.6 spg using his length in a variety of ways to make things happen. He’s got breakout potential given what he can do on the floor.
No. 121 Harrison Poole Harrison Poole 6'5" | SG Ravenscroft | 2023 State NC | 6’5 Guard/Wing | Ravenscroft
Poole is an active presence in the Ravenscroft School rotation that’s made waves with his skill set. He’s a wiry 6-foot-5 prospect that can defend multiple spots, rebound the ball and knock down shots on the perimeter in bunches. He’s a prospect to keep an eye on alongside another top name at Ravenscroft.
No. 125 Rashad McCormick Rashad McCormick 6'7" | CG Andover Prep | 2024 State NC | 6’6 Wing/Forward | Hough
McCormick is a versatile prospect over at Hough High with a ton of potential in the 2023 class. He led the way for his squad with 14.8 ppg, 4.7 rpg and 1.8 apg while showing off his athleticism and ability to operate on all three levels. He’s an underrated name to know in the class.
