6’4” ’26 Tarris Bouie (Team EAT)
Bouie was in the top tier of prospects in this weekend’s 15u division. He’s a long and athletic wing that, while still physically developing, is more than strong enough to defend up positions and handle contact. He was arguably the best shooter in the division, acting as one of the few five tool shooters in the event. He has incredible shooting flow, being able to hit shots in practically every difficult situation a shooter could face (transition pull-ups, off the move turnarounds, contested short and long range, etc.). Bouie is much more than just a shooter as his incredible length and feel enable him to penetrate and create rim attempts with relative ease. His touch around the rim is plus-level and his many physical and intangible traits give him a high floor and an even higher ceiling as a versatile POA defender.
6’2” ’26 Marcus Green (WCBA)
Green impacts winning more than anyone I saw this weekend, constantly making the right play at the right time. He’s already an elite defender, something that earned him playing time at Athens Drive, thanks to his physical traits and high feel. He’s got long arms, big hands, and a strong frame that should fill out nicely as Green continues to grow and develop. Green is a calming and consistent presence on offense, using his well-rounded skillset to impact each part of the game. He’s a natural passer and shows signs of growing into a 6+ APG guy down the line. He also has great body control when he penetrates, able to finish consistently through contact and with simplicity. His shot and handle are rapidly improving and in 12-18 months, Green will be one of the most complete players in Raleigh.
6’3” ’26 Jack Seigel (CC Elite Ford)
Seigel was one of the more impressive, low-maintenance guards in any division this weekend. He has a super high floor thanks to his knockdown shot, capable handle, and his ability to play off two feet which limits turnovers and allots him more time, space, and angles to make the correct read. He’s an underrated passer that can pass teammates open on occasion. Seigel has a very repeatable jumper and is comfortable shooting off the move, catch, or dribble. He’s extremely reliable with the ball in his hands and that combined with his positional size will make him a consistent contributor at Providence next season.
6’ ’26 Cam Jones (FBP Elite JG)
Jones impressed me with how dynamic he was on the ball and with his offensive versatility. A true combo guard, Jones can play on or off the ball and excels at creating plays from either position. He has a sturdy frame which allows him to absorb and create contact, which he benefits from on both sides of the floor. He’s a volume scorer but rarely does he force shots and he’s able to produce naturally within the offense. Jones is a solid defender and is on a nice development track that should set him up for a productive sophomore season at Heritage (Wake Forest).
6’2” ’24 David Mirikwe (Team Stacked)
Mirikwe was one of the smoothest athletes in attendance this weekend, establishing himself as a transition nightmare and an extremely versatile defender. He’s a great downhill attacker, using his loose handle to get around defenders and his athleticism to finish in even the most difficult situations. He’s a good creator, able to create advantages himself and then make correct reads to find teammates. Expect him to flirt with points-rebounds double-doubles (with the occasional high assists/steals game) all summer while being one of the best defenders in the RDU area. s
