6’6 ’29 Kaedyn Cole (FBC Elite)
In terms of long-term potential, Kaedyn Cole was as appealing as any prospect on display. His array of tools as a rising eighth-grader is simply uncommon. Cole moves incredibly well for his size and already displays natural instincts on both ends of the floor. Although several middle-school prospects made a lasting impression, he was clearly the most dominant prospect within his age division. Cole anchored the paint exceptionally well as a rim-protector and blocked a consistent stream of shots, both inside the paint and along the perimeter. He consistently rebounded, finished around the basket, and showed flashes of floor-spacing ability. Cole has all the tools to be a special player.
6’3 ’28 Ayo Awo Sanya (Carolina Culture)
After watching him regularly over the summer season, it’s becoming more and more clear that Ayo Awo Sanya is a player worth noting. While he already possesses size and fluidity, his versatile skillset allows him to cause mismatches against various types of opponents. Sanya creates well for his size and is capable of posting up, attacking off the bounce, or hitting jumpers along the perimeter. He’s able to rebound, push the break, and set up others. Though already quite impactful, Sanya is someone who should only continue to blossom going forward.
6’6 ’26 Evan Truzy (Team Crews)
Given his consistent production for Team Crews, it’s easy to appreciate everything Evan Truzy brought to the table.

He rebounds well for his position and makes his presence felt defensively.
5’11 ’28 Ryley Rodriguez (Team FLY)
Despite falling short as a group, there was a lot to like about Ryley Rodriguez and everything he’s shown during the summer season. He’s simply a gamer who possesses the necessary adaptability and skillset to operate in a healthy variety of roles. Rodriguez is a smooth shooter with useful vision and solid craftiness off the bounce. He battles defensively and rebounds well for his size/position. Eager to monitor his development over the coming years.
2030 Sonny Watkins (SW15H Elite)
Though young, it’s easy to see what makes Sonny Watkins such an enticing long-term prospect. Already blessed with great size, mobility, and two-way feel, he’s able to impact the game on both ends of the floor. Watkins is able to attack off the dribble and finish well around the basket, but also finds opportunities as a cutter and transition threat. His length and high motor make him a quality rebounder. Watkins also blocks shots at a solid rate.
