6’4 ’26 Markus Kerr (Chambers)
The newest addition to the Cougars should immediately double as one of the best players on the roster. Though young, Kerr has already proven himself as a meaningful piece for a contender during his first high school season. He’s a smart, skilled, athletic guard that possesses great size, toughness, and overall polish. Kerr scores from all levels and displays quality playmaking ability, but also makes his presence felt as a rebounder and perimeter defender. He’ll inevitably start collecting offers soon.
6’1 ’26 Rassell Young (Mallard Creek)
Despite already holding multiple offers, it feels like this is just the beginning for Young. Between his incredible poise, confidence, and balanced offensive identity, it’s easy to see him emerging as one of the top guards in the country. He’s a high-level shooting threat with deep range, craftiness off the bounce, and the ability to set up others or score from anywhere on the floor. Young also stands out as a quality defender, rebounder, and natural leader on both ends of the floor. Expect his offer sheet to continue to grow.
6’8 ’26 Mason Robinson (Orange)
Different than the rest of the players here, Robinson is the lone big man listed. Although he’s still just truly scratching the surface of his long-term upside, it’s easy to see the appeal. Robinson is a fluid athlete with long arms, big feet, and great interior timing as a rebounder and shot-blocker. His post-game is still developing but he’s already able to capitalize on finishing opportunities and produce within the paint. Robinson also runs the floor well in transition. He should improve considerably over these next few years.
6’5 ’26 Tarris Bouie (Chambers)
Although we’ve talked considerably about Bouie during the current travel ball season, folks should still be aware of what he’ll bring to this new-look roster. Although he’s brimming with long-term potential, the 6-foot-5 wing is more than ready to be a difference-maker. It all starts with his phenomenal shot-making ability. Whether from midrange or beyond the arc, Bouie is a constant threat to score. He possesses beautiful mechanics, rises up extremely well, and utilizes his length to score over the arms of outstretched defenders. Bouie is also a quality passer, defender, athlete, and finisher. His blow-up is coming.
6’4 ’27 King Gibson (The Burlington School)
Despite just entering his freshman season, it’s easy to see that Gibson is a legitimate prospect and an immediate contributor. Between his size, athleticism, and overall skillset, he’s able to impact the game on both ends of the floor. Gibson defends his position with energy, battles on the glass for extra opportunities, and can do a healthy amount of everything offensively. He creates his own shot well, but can also cut, spot-up, or apply pressure in transition. Though young, Gibson has the tools to be a high-level prospect.
