2026 6’3 Yohance Connor (Combine Academy)
We have talked about Connor time after time this season, and he continues to play at a high level. One can’t deny that his game has continued to elevate and develop, being a more complete guard on the court. But the way he plays, the energy he brings, his relentless attack, and his ability to fill it up from a variety of levels are impressive.
2026 6’4 Eian Bailey (Mooresville)
Bailey is just a gritty, hard-nosed prospect who does what is needed, competes on both sides of the court, and looks to bring production however he can. He has a strong frame, doing a good job in attacking off the bounce and getting to the rim, but also makes those effort plays on the glass and defensively. Love his overall motor and willingness to battle on the court.
2026 6’5 Neal Swindell (Caldwell Academy)
Swindell continues to be that x-factor on the court and has consistently brought production to the table with his play this season. You simply know what you will get from this young man; he is relentless in his attack, getting downhill when he wants, finishing strong, flying high in finishing strong, and simply competing. Though Swindell is opening more up with his overall offensive game, allowing him to mix it up well.
2026 6’0 Ty Graham (Bull City)
Graham is a guard that college coaches should be looking at more and believe they will this season. No matter the occasion, event, or opponent, Graham just knows how to get a bucket, create off the dribble, finish over defenders, be a lethal three-point shooter, and just be a scrappy defender as well. He has had several big games already this season and did so again with 30 points at the event.
2026 6’2 Josh Hines (Myers Park)
Myers Park was close to pulling off a big win at home against Davidson Day, and Hines was a huge part of that. Hines did a great job in showing his ability to get to the open spots and having the confidence to knock down shots, especially from deep. But you could also see his hand in several other plays, being a playmaker, competing defensively, and playing with a ton of energy.
