6’4 ’21 Greg Moore (Team Passion)
It should be common knowledge at this point, but Moore continues to solidify himself as a next-level player with this Team Passion squad. He’s skinny, but smart, skilled, and understands how to stand out as a leader in various different ways. Although Moore is a lethal shooting threat, he also highlighted the ability to attack closeouts and set up others at a quality rate.
6’7 ’22 Saylor Schott (NC Spartans)
This Spartans squad has a nice amount of talent, and arguably no one has improved more than Schott over the recent months. He’s long, wiry, and understands how to play hard on both ends of the floor. Schott is a capable rebounder and shot-blocker with the ability to finish above or below the rim. He moves well for his size and operates effectively in a low-maintenance role.
6’4 ’22 Jacob Fisher-Davis (CC Elite)
While he probably doesn’t receive as much attention as other guys on this roster, it’s easy to see the value in Fisher-Davis. He’s a reliable perimeter shooter with the IQ and understanding of how to properly move without the ball and position himself for success. Fisher-Davis consistently operates within his role and doesn’t try to force the action offensively.
6’3 ’22 Lucas Searcy (Team Passion)
While there were numerous contributors throughout this contest, Searcy was arguably the main difference-maker. He operates well in a low-maintenance role and only looks to seize opportunities when necessary. Searcy is an excellent perimeter shooter with the ability to spot-up or create within one or two dribbles. He also provides great effort defensively and on the glass.
6’4 ’24 Jaylen Cross (Team United)
Despite being the most recent addition to the roster, Cross already finds countless ways to shine with this ultra-talented Team United group. For starters, his rugged, unselfish, team-first mentality allows him to make an impact without even requiring offensive touches. However, Cross is also an extremely polished, efficient three-level scorer with IQ, athleticism, and the ability to effortlessly create for himself and others. He possesses all the tools to be a legitimate star and eventual priority for all types Division I programs. National-level attention could be in store, especially if he continues on his current trajectory.
6’0 ’23 Deuce Hudson (Carolina Bad Boyz)
Easily one of the top multi-sport athletes in the Carolinas, Hudson was nearly unstoppable as the clear leader of this Bad Boyz group. He’s smart, quick, and poses an effective scoring threat from all levels. Hudson ran the offense, scored in a variety of different ways, and made countless defensive stops. His leadership was evident on both ends of the floor from start to finish.
6’3 ’22 Brent Randleman (NC Gaters)
Although the Gaters continue to be a balanced squad, it was easy to see Randleman’s production throughout this contest. He’s a long, athletic wing prospect with skill, toughness, and quality feel on both ends of the floor. Randleman is effective with or without the ball in his hands, and knows how to make his presence felt in transition. He also battles well for rebounds on either side of the ball.
6’5 ’22 Karon Boyd (Charlotte Hoyas)
The Charlotte Hoyas continue to trend upward as one of the premier independent teams in North Carolina, and Boyd is a massive reason as to why. In many ways, he’s the engine of this operation. Boyd naturally seems to lead by example and set the tone in every facet of the game. He’s a smart, rugged, versatile, high-motor forward prospect who communicates and looks to make the best possible play at every opportunity.
6’3 ’25 Dominic Cotton (Upward Stars PD)
Though very young, it’s easy to be intrigued with the current abilities and long-term upside of Cotton. He’s already quite productive and understands how to utilize his motor to make hustle plays on either end of the floor. Cotton defends with excellent energy and shows flashes of versatility, which should bring a lot of optimism toward his trajectory going forward.
5’10 ’22 Greg Brockington (Team Hickory)
There are numerous guys on Team Hickory worthy of attention from college coaches, and Brockington is certainly amongst that grouping. He’s slightly undersized but very quick, crafty, and capable of scoring from all levels—or setting up others with his vision. Brockington defends well for his size and understands how to operate within the flow of the action. He should have opportunities at the next level.
