6’2 ’24 Stephen Quinn (Team Charlotte)
Arguably the most lethal shooting threat in every building he enters, it’s pretty easy to see why Quinn would be an asset for various programs. While there are plenty of available shooters, very few possess the unlimited range, quick release, and sheer accuracy of someone like him. Quinn can reliably attack closeouts, make extra passes, and mix it up as needed, but often makes his biggest impact when forcing opponents to stay attached along the perimeter. He’s a smart player who understands how to move without the ball and consistently finds open holes within the defense. Quinn is also a solid defender and rebounder for his size/position.
6’2 ’24 Russ White (Team USC Premier)
Every team needs a tough, team-oriented piece to help set the tone, and White regularly stands out as that guy. Although strong, physical, and capable of containing bigger opponents, White possesses the necessary IQ and versatile skillset to make his presence felt in a variety of different ways. He gets downhill with relative ease, where he’s able to finish or set up others, but can also knock down perimeter jumpers at an efficient clip. White’s two-way versatility naturally leads to matchup problems for opponents on both ends of the floor. Expect his smart, well-rounded identity to appeal to various programs at the next level.
6’4 ’24 Brendan Bailey (NLPB Select)
It’s easy to appreciate the selfless, yet highly productive presence that Bailey brings to this group. He’s a polished three-level scorer with feel, size, and the ability to find success with or without the ball in his hands. Despite his ability to apply constant scoring pressure, Bailey stands out as an unselfish teammate who always looks to make the best possible decision. He rebounds his position well, makes his presence felt defensively, and can adapt to various different roles as an offensive cog. Bailey is simply a great teammate who will do whatever is necessary to win.
6’7 ’24 Joah Chappelle (Wood Elite)
Although there was a slew of intriguing prospects from this roster, Chappelle stands out as a guy who should have more action within his recruitment. He’s a long, high-motor forward prospect with toughness, athleticism, and an excellent nose for the ball. Chappelle doesn’t look to force the action or play outside the team structure, often finding most of his offensive opportunities through his sheer activity as a cutter, rebounder, and transition piece. That being said, he can post-up, attack from the wing, or knock down the occasional jumper. Given his size, energy, and two-way presence, it’s shocking that he doesn’t already hold offers.
6’0 ’24 Makel Smith (PSB Kisonas)
The right floor general can drastically change the outlook of any team, and Smith certainly fits that notion. His combination of IQ, pace, poise, and well-rounded skillset make him a very reliable, appealing prospect. Smith displays natural leadership and a high level of maturity while calmly dictating the offense and containing his assignment defensively. He creates for himself and others at a constant rate, applies efficient scoring pressure from all levels, and understands how to make the right play with unwavering consistency. Smith doesn’t possess any real weakness in his identity. College coaches will eventually be battling for his services as a dependable all-around leader.
