2025 Israel Eatman (Green Level)
We have said on so many occasions that Eatman should be a player who gets more looks as a D1 prospect, and he continued to prove that narrative this past weekend in the Fall League Championships. Eatman flourishes as a high IQ guard who knows how to be that strong playmaker for himself as well as others on the court. He makes good decisions, takes what is given, shoots the ball at a high level, and competes on the defensive end, as he knows how to impact the game in a variety of ways. He will be a huge piece once again for Green Level, and his stock has continued to rise in the last year.
2026 Julian Adigun (Greensboro Day)
Adigun continues to show flashes of what he is capable of providing but also is one that should only continue to develop. But with his attributes and potential, he should be on more radars for D1 schools. You just don’t see too many 6’10 prospects that move as well as he does, capable of defending along the perimeter, being able to stretch the floor, showing his impact in running the floor, and using his size to his advantage on the glass. Again, he continues to be a work in progress but if things continue to come together for him, Adigun could be a nice steal for a future program.
2025 Christian Ananaba (SE Raleigh)
If we are talking about a player who deserves to be on more radars and could be that steal for a D1 program, Ananaba should find his name in the mix. Watching him again at the Fall League Championships, he offers so much to work with, and one can see that he will only get better at the next level. He has the length that D1 coaches will like, he understands how to fill up the stat sheet, and he can be used in a variety of areas on the court, one can’t deny his work ethic and hustle on both sides.
2026 Jordan Buzzard (East Meck)
Buzzard is continuing to create buzz with his game, as the forward is finding ways to make plays and be effective for his team throughout. He has a unique blend of size and comfort level from several areas of the court, and when locked and assertive he can be a tough matchup for defenders. Buzzard can be effective operating in the post with footwork and touch but also does a great job in stepping out, making plays off the bounce, and being a multi-level scorer.
