2023 Dallas Gardner (Charlotte Country Day): Gardner really set the tone in this game to start the weekend, as he was able to fill up the stat sheet and make his presence felt on both sides of the court.' Gardner did an excellent job in pushing in transition and attacking the defense, penetrating and getting in the lane, finishing well through contact, and showing his athleticism. His defense also helped turn into points for his team, as he finished with 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 steals.

2026 Lukas Buinevicius (VES): The freshman prospect was able to give us his first glimpse of his game with Phenom Hoops, as he wasn't available the first time around. But the study guard prospect played with a nice IQ and feel for someone his age, has a strong frame and moved well without the ball, was aggressive in scoring and getting to the line, and just being a playmaker on the court for his team. Led the way with 17 points for his team.

2023 Petar Asceric (Concord Academy): The big man had a very good showing, and is really embracing his role and what he can do for his team. He doesn't need to be the spotlight to be effective, but he brings a strong presence in the paint with his ability to finish and use his size well, but also stays active on the boards and can be a rim protector for this team.' This is a team that simply has a ton of weapons to use, and Asceric was a big part on Day 1.

2024 Iverson King (Forsyth Country Day): King really showed me something on Day 1, and things could be turning up a notch for the junior prospect. King was more assertive on the court, getting downhill and attacking more. He was able to get into the paint consistently, battled through contact, finished strong around the basket, and attacked in transition. He also was more assertive and stronger on the boards, ultimately finishing with 18 points and 13 rebounds.

2024 Austin Swartz (Cannon): Swartz is really starting to enter another level with his game, and his offer sheet should really continue to grow after this season. Swartz was scoring all over the court and from all three levels, but what really grabbed our attention was his ability to handle, see the floor, and make high-IQ passes and plays for his team.' He was off the charts and showing it all, which is why his recruitment should only continue to grow.

2023 Nick Dorn (Chambers): When you look at his offer list, Dorn is one of the more underrecruited players in North Carolina with what he does as a player and how he has grown with his game. A 6'6, strong-framed prospect with the ability to be a huge threat from three, but he is showing to be a consistent scorer from all levels and is being more assertive.

2024 Maurio Hanson (Chambers): Hanson looked like a force down in the paint, doing an excellent job in posting up in the paint, operating well with his back to the basket and finishing strong, but also kicking it out to open shooters. Hanson brings such a physical presence for Chambers and is a huge difference-maker with how he operates and battles in the paint and on the boards.

2025 Jaylen Claggett (Cannon): The 2025 prospect came out extremely strong in leading the charge for Cannon, making plays out in transition and getting to he basket, but also doing what he has done so many other times in getting to his spots from outside and knocking down shots from three. He stepped up early for his team and made some big plays for his team throughout.
