South Carolina Top 80 Camp Evaluations: Team 6
Team 6 Coach: Josh Staley #6: 5'9 '26 Michael Jones (Indian Land) Starting things off, we look at a player who easily stood out as one of the top performers on display, Michael Jones.

POB's Eye Catchers from SC Top 80 (Class of 2025)
2025 Cedric Schofield (Keenan): Schofield had a very good overall showing at the SC Top 80, and I believe a showing like this when you watch the film should help him garner more attention. The 6'8 athletic forward was active all throughout, running the floor in transition, showing his bounce and ability to finish at the rim, but also show a nice well-rounded balance in his overall skill set. He...

Team 2 Coach: Stan Carpenter #101: 5'7 '24 Ziyon Gamble (South Florence) Starting things off, we look at a player who consistently found ways to produce despite being the smallest camper on this team, Ziyon Gamble. He's a smart, scrappy, unselfish guard prospect with a nice penetration sense and a willingness to do the dirty work on both ends of the floor. Gamble makes quality decisions...

POB’s Eye Catchers from SC Top 80 (Part 1)
2023 Jordan Miller (Dorman): Miller was strong throughout the camp and one can really see that he has taken his game to another level. The hard work is paying off as Miller showcased terrific IQ and feel for the game. Plays with such a smooth feel and under control, as he doesn't force much offensively, finds his spots, and displays a confident release from multiple levels. 2025 Robert...
