The latest small forward to verbally commit was Eddie Ricks III Eddie Ricks III 6'9" | SF Clarksville Academy | 2023 State #152 Nation TN , who selected Morehead State (verbally) August 23rd. He will almost certainly sign to Morehead State University in November, at his first opportunity.
The players in the second list, the ‘Needs New Eval’ bunch were sorted within these positional rankings very high, but without seeing them play on film or in-person in the last nine months there inclusion is not really fair to the players who we did see. Phil Grant Jr., for example, is ranked #25 overall in Tennessee and he is probably a Top 10 small forward, but we simply do not know. So, he is in the second list below.
Who are the best wing forward prospects available in the Class of 2023?
Small Forwards
- Jarred Hall Jarred Hall 6'8" | SF Lebanon | 2023 State #65 Nation TN – The #1 overall player will be able to choose from a wide assortment of D1 programs thanks to his explosive, complete game. Scores any way you want. Rebounds like a warrior.
- Damarien Yates Damarien Yates 6'8" | SF Fayette Ware | 2023 State TN – Breakout junior season for Fayette Ware. He did have JaSteven Walker alongside (Alabama State freshman) though, so the burden will be much greater for “Dink” this winter.
- Stephen Olowoniyi – Absurdly bouncy. Elite second-jump ability. Plans to officially visit UAB, MTSU, Little Rock, and ETSU.

- Grant Campbell Grant Campbell 6'8" | SF Heritage | 2023 State TN
- Keelan Jackson Keelan Jackson 6'4" | SF Tyner Academy | 2023 State TN
- Alex Vandenbergh Alex Vandenbergh 6'5" | SF Collierville | 2023 State TN
- Jamarcus Powell Jamarcus Powell 6'5" | SF Lausanne | 2023 State TN
- Tyler Johnson Tyler Johnson 6'5" | SG Douglass | 2023 State TN
- Judah Sault Judah Sault 6'5" | SF Cleveland | 2023 State TN – Elite rebounder. Wonderful finisher around the rim. Lacks the shooting range to be a Top 5 SF in the class. It is probably the only skill that separates him from a Top 20 player overall in Tennessee.
- Zachariah LaBoo Jr.
- Kevin Lusk – Might be a SG at the college level. Hard-charging, versatile wing. Plays and defends very well at high speeds.
- Wizdom Laws Wizdom Laws 6'4" | SF Camden | 2023 State TN
- Joshua Roberts -Elite athleticism. Elite defense around the arc. Needs to improve his handle and shooting-off-the-dribble.
- Collin France Collin France 6'4" | SF Usn | 2023 State TN – Wonderful strength. High-academic recruit. Looks to be a college player with lovely wingspan and bounce for the position. Very disciplined in both off-season conditioning.
- Quintus Broadnax Quintus Broadnax 6'2" | SF Brainerd | 2023 State TN — coming off ACL surgery. Great strength. A little limited skill-wise compared to other Top 30 SF’s.
- Gage Boykin Gage Boykin 6'2" | SF Jackson Christian | 2023 State TN
- Riley Everett Riley Everett 6'4" | SF William Blount | 2023 State TN
