Team 3
Coach: Bobby Thompson
#1: 5’0 ’28 Alaya Clemons (JH Rose)
Starting off, we look at a player who did a lot of things well despite being the smallest camper on display, Alaya Clemons. She’s a tough, scrappy, high-motor guard prospect who consistently competes on both ends of the floor. Clemons is a lethal shooter from beyond the arc and excels in spot-up situations. She’s a willing passer who looks to attack the basket and set up others at a solid rate. Clemons also battles defensively and understands how to outwork opponents for extra possessions. Next in her development process is working on the use of her off-hand, as it would make her a better ball-handler against pressure. Coach Thompson on Clemons: “Alaya is a sharpshooter/three-point specialist with great range and accuracy. Has the ability to drain threes in transition and displayed that she can get out and score on the break. Hands down one of the top three-point shooters in NC’s class of 2028.” Clemons enjoyed a quality showing at camp and should blossom into a focal point for JH Rose over the coming years.
#7: 5’9 ’26 Jayla Brower (Concord Academy)
Next, we look at a player who showcased the ability to fill in the gaps on both ends of the floor, Jayla Brower. She’s an unselfish, high-motor guard prospect who can do a little bit of everything on the court. Brower knocked down jumpers, attacked the basket, and deferred to open teammates when driving. She’s a solid finisher and passer who knows how to get to her spots in transition. Brower provides a useful defensive presence and utilizes her length to cause problems for opponents. Next in her development process is working on the use of her off-hand, as it would make her a better ball-handler against pressure. Coach Thompson on Clemons: “Jayla is a competitive combo guard that thrives on the defensive side of the ball. She has great ball instincts and rotates well. She possesses a winning attitude and is a great team player.” Brower made a nice impact at camp and should be a key piece for Concord Academy over these next few seasons.
#8: 5’4 ’28 Shania Wilson (Rocky Mount)
Moving forward, we look at a player who made a lasting impression through her tough, physical approach to the game, Shania Wilson. She’s a strong, unselfish guard prospect with a high IQ and nonstop motor. Wilson displayed the ability to attack the basket and set up others at a terrific rate, but truly didn’t require touches to make her presence felt. Wilson consistently stood out on defense, where she mirrored opposing ball-handlers, made hustle plays, and forced turnovers with regularity. She also rebounded the ball very well for her size/position and pushed the break in transition. Next in her development process is working on getting quicker, as it would make her a more dynamic player. Coach Thompson on Wilson: “Shania is a strong combo guard who loves to scrap on the defense. She has good natural instincts and a nice feel for the game. She uses her body extremely well to create space to score. She plays with a lot of tenacity and confidence.” Wilson proved to be an asset at camp and will be a prospect to monitor as she begins her high school journey for Rocky Mount.

Continuing forward, we look at a player who easily stood out as one of the top performers in attendance, Jahriell Murchison. She’s a smart, skilled, athletic guard prospect with a high motor and strong feel for the game. Murchison handles the ball with poise while displaying the ability to create for herself and others off the bounce. She’s a reliable shooter from midrange and beyond the arc, yet also looks to attack closeouts and finish at the basket whenever available. On the other end, Murchison causes a ton of problems for opponents. She mirrors opposing guards as an on-ball defender, forces turnovers at a strong rate, and seems to get her hands on every possible loose ball. Next in her development process is working on her ability to move without the ball, as it would open her up to even more scoring chances. Coach Thompson on Murchison: “Jahriell is a super-athletic combo guard who showed she can impact the game on both ends of the floor. Plays with a leader’s mentality and a will to win! She has 3-and-D ability, defending with energy and shooting the three-pointer with accuracy. She can fill it up from distance but also finishes at an elite level around the basket.” Murchison shined as a leader during camp, finishing fifth in scoring at 12.7 PPG and winning the 2025 MVP. Expect her to have a big year at Rolesville.
#35: 5’7 ’27 Ke’Myia Young (Washington County)
Next, we look at a player who consistently found ways to make her presence felt on both ends of the floor, Ke’Myia Young. She’s a strong, skilled guard prospect with a high motor and fairly well-rounded identity. Young is an excellent penetrator who can break down opponents, touch the paint, and finish or set up others. She’s a great shooter from midrange and beyond the arc, yet understands how to mix it up to keep defenses guessing. Young is also a tremendous rebounder who carves out space extremely well around the basket. Coach Thompson on Young: “Ke’Myia is a strong combo guard who can get downhill in a hurry. Elite offensive rebounding skills at her position. Capable three-point shooter when in rhythm. Great work ethic and is a willing defender. Very talented prospect in the Class of 2027.

Expect her to have a notable sophomore season at Terry Sanford.
#67: 5’11 ’26 Kalin Favreau (Oak Grove)
Next, we look at a player who made a lasting impression with her ability to impact all facets of the game, Kalin Favreau.

Favreau is a solid ball-handler with sharp vision and the ability to set up others regularly. She moves well without the ball, defends multiple positions, and rebounds effectively on both ends of the floor.

Finishing up, we look at a player who possesses an enticing collection of tools, Alani Skye-Wilkerson. She’s a strong, physically overwhelming post prospect with a high motor, unselfish approach, and quality feel for the game on both ends of the floor. Skye-Wilkerson offers a straightforward game and makes a consistent impact as a finisher, rebounder, and floor-spacer. She displayed the ability to knock down midrange jumpers and open looks from beyond the arc, but was at her best around the basket. Skye-Wilkerson moves well without the ball and makes hustle plays as needed. She’s a game-changing rebounder with the physique to overpower opponents. Next in her development process is working to get quicker, as it would make her a better defender when switching onto smaller guards. Coach Thompson on Skye-Wilkerson: “Alani has a lot of potential. Physical around the basket and willing to use her body. Active rebounder on the glass. Finishes great but can also knock down open jumpers. Eager to watch her game grow.” Skye-Wilkerson did a lot of things well at camp and should be a difference-maker for Terry Sanford over the foreseeable future.
