2022 Hudson Rixham (Charlotte Country Day): Rixham really had a complete game to start Day 2 at the Phenom November Classic. She comes in with good size but brings a lot of versatility to the court, making impact plays and playing multiple positions on the court. She showed she can be the main ball-handler, used her size on the boards, created for herself off the dribble, and knocked down shots as well. Also played well on the defensive end; she was one of the main catalysts for her team in the win.
2022 MJ Collins (Westminster Catawba): Collins continues to produce at a high level and showing why he is one of the premier talents in the region. He can really be a big scoring factor on the floor, creating his own shot and getting what he wants on the floor. The explosive guard can score in a variety of ways and make it look easy. He went off in carrying the load offensively with 25 points on Day 2.
2022 Luke Grace (Wesleyan Christian): Grace is an underrated forward in Noth Carolina but on the big stage, he stepped up big for his team. He is a very skilled prospect at 6'9 and understands his game/ability to stretch the floor with his perimeter shot, something he is quite comfortable in doing. But also uses that size down in the post, displaying a nice feel with his back to the basket.
2024 Jahseem Felton (Gaston Christian): Felton really helped lead the charge after his team found themselves down by 10 at halftime. With his 6'5 frame and his strength, he can really make an impact in a variety of ways. He finished strong in the paint, bodying up his opponents and being physical while also pushing out in transition and scoring. Finished with 17 points, 14 of which came in the second half to help his team win.
2022 TJ Ragland (Henderson Collegiate): The best way to describe Ragland is that he is simply tough. He plays hard on both sides and scored in a variety of ways. Love his competitive nature on the defensive end while showing his ability to create for himself, step out with his outside shot, and get to the rim, carving through the defense.
2023 Michael Nwoko (The Burlington School): This was our first true look at Nwoko at this event and the 2023 big man had a strong showing in both. Everything you have heard about this young man is true, as he plays with a physical feel, brings a ton of power to the table, and finishes incredibly strong at the rim. He doesn't settle much down in the post, as well as being a physical force on the boards.
2023 Emanuel Richards (Christ School): Richards led the charge on Day 2 for Christ School, really giving us more of a glance of his improved overall game. Yes, he still plays with that physical game that he has in the past, embracing contact and finishing but also showing more of his pull-up game. He can be really effective from multiple levels on the floor, and it is easy to see why more schools are coming his way.
