Kimar Kurnegey 92, 6'0 Riverwood MS, NC, 2021
Kimar already has great size for age and looks like he grow a lot more over the next couple of years. Mr. 'I go hard in the paint': Physical specimen, hustles and runs the floor like a deer, big that can score the ball inside and out. Coach Royosia Easton on Kimar Kurnegey; It is so great to see a post player today that can not only shoot from the outside but he still wants to bang on the inside.

Kimar is going to make some HS coach very happy. And college coach also.
Quinton Roggins 66, 5'8 Riverwood MS, NC, 2021
Quinton is oozing with potential. At this point of his game he is a shoot guard. He can coach and shoot just as good or better than anyone at camp.

Jalen is a great change of pace guard that excels in transition; great finisher, nice handle, three level scorer. Coach Royosia Easton on Jalen Lowrey: Jalen has a smooth game. He has a really nice flow when he dribbles, arrives and shoots. He keeps his head up when he dribbles as he looks to pass and loves to score. He is going to be a great 2 or 3 guard one day. As he continues to work on moving without the ball and also his dribbling he will be a cog good offensive player. He is going to be fun to watch in the years to come.
Joshua Daniels 40 5'5' Briggs MS, SC, 2023
Joshua had a lot good plays this weekend. His game will get better and better every time he steps on the floor because he picks up the game so fast.

Kheni Briggs 99 6'2 Kannapolis MS, NC, 2021
Kheni might have been the best player at Phemon this week. Coaches raved about how good he was for his age. He has great length and a high IQ to match. He can guard all five positons on the floor; scorer, scores it on all three levels, great rebounder and great passing skills. Coach Royosia Easton on Kheni Briggs; Kheni is a natural athlete who is very skilled. He can do it all. He is a big time player who can score and defend. College coaches need to watch him now.

I love a guard that is will to push the ball up the floor to open teammates. This kid made everyone of the floor better; nice handle, great passer and finisher. Coach Royosia Easton on Georgio Najm: I would love to see film of Steve Nash in 8th grade because that is who Georgio plays like. He can shoot from the outside, pass to open teammates. His biggest asset is his ability to get the ball up the court with speed. He can finish on the fast break or pass to the open teammates. He plays great defense and hustles all the time.
