2024 Jullien Cole (Richmond):
Cole has only continued to improve and it seems that more people are taking notice. From when we first wrote about him over a year ago (Click Here) to where he is today, Cole has continued to showcase how effective he can be on the court. He looks bigger and stronger, showing more of his ability to knock down shots from outside, his ability to create and make strong finishes, and use his size well. It is why his stock only continues to rise with college coaches.
2024 Desmond Kent (Central Cabarrus):
Phenom Hoops has been on Kent for some time now, and he continues to elevate his game even more as he earns valuable experience and is stepping more into a leadership role. But the long, lengthy prospect is one that has seen his stock rise and it doesn’t seem like it is slowing down any time soon. We introduced everyone to Kent back in 2022 (Click Here), and he just continues to elevate his game. He has incredible upside to his game, can make an impact on both ends of the court, score and operate from a variety of areas, and can fill up the stat sheet. What a summer it has been for this young man, and the rise should only continue.
2024 Kameron Taylor (Olympic):
Talk about opening up eyes, as Taylor (who is coming off a very impressive high school season) has really been able to shine on the big stage and showcase what he brings to the table. He is a long 6’7 prospect that is doing it all; finishing at the rim, scoring consistently, getting out in transition, finding ways to impact the game, and certainly knows how to fill it up. Schools are coming hard his way now and I expect that to only continue this upcoming season.
2024 Hank Neace (Davidson Day):
Neace may be one that you don’t hear as much as others, but he is having a strong summer so far and recently earned his first D1 offer. Neace though, when talking about his game, is one that checks off boxes with his size and length, his understanding of how to create, and his ability to knock down shots, but also doesn’t settle and can get downhill. He is a smart, high IQ type prospect that has continued to take strides in his game.
