Anyone who knows anything about South Carolina basketball should be aware of the dominance coming out of Roebuck and Dorman High School over the last few years. After winning four consecutive state championships within the 5A SCHSAA, the Cavaliers have their sights set on magical number five. However, it likely won't be any type of cakewalk and should certainly offer more obstacles than years past. On one hand, folks will quickly recognize that Dorman is better at anyone when it comes to receiving incoming transfers and figuring out how to properly plug them into the system. On the other, this will be the Cavaliers first attempted title run without the involvement of Myles Tate. So, how will they fare' Let's take a closer look at some of their key pieces'

With the aforementioned Tate and PJ Hall departing to the next level, majority of the veteran leadership should come from 5'10 '21 Jalen Breazeale and 6'7 '21 Earl Burgess. It should be a seamless transition, as both guys were massive contributors on last year's squad. Breazeale is a smart, quick-twitch point guard prospect with excellent vision and craftiness as a penetrator. He's an effective shooter from the perimeter and has shown the ability to play with or without the ball in his hands, though he'll likely emerge as the primary creator for this group. Meanwhile, Burgess should maintain his steady production within the frontcourt. He's probably the most low-maintenance player on the roster, simply due to his ability to make plays and involve himself in the action without ever needing to force the action. Burgess is smart, unselfish, and understands how to fill in the gaps on both ends of the floor. He's a reliable defender, rebounder, and all-around offensive player from the forward/post position. 

Although the previous two guys should emerge as leaders, 6'6 '22 Jordyn Surratt and 6'9 '22 Noah Clowney still appear to be the most appealing prospects on the roster. Surratt is a two-way dynamo with the ability to carve out a productive role with any collection of teammates. He's a smart, well-rounded wing prospect with size, athleticism, and phenomenal versatility on both ends of the floor. Surratt is a capable shooter with vision, toughness, and off-the-bounce capabilities. It's been said before, but he should become one of the most coveted players in South Carolina over the next twelve months. As for Clowney, folks should be itching to see his progression with this group. The appeal was already obvious over a year ago, but it's starting to become even more evident. Clowney is a long, fluid post prospect with athleticism, rebounding instincts, and rim-protection abilities. He moves well, recovers effectively on defense, and runs the floor properly in transition. Clowney also displays soft touch around the basket and is able to knock down midrange jumpers at a solid clip. Like Surratt, it would be shocking if Clowney didn't accumulate a slew of offers going forward. 

Last but certainly not least, 6'5 '21 Dessie Canty has been their most widely-discussed newcomer for the upcoming season. Honestly, it's a perfect fit alongside the previous four names. Canty, an athletic scoring wing, should truly shine alongside a quick playmaker (Breazeale), a glue-guy (Burgess), a rim-runner (Clowney), and a complementary leader (Surratt). His abilities have been on full display this summer, and he's been nothing short of spectacular each time he takes the court. Canty is an efficient three-level scorer with IQ, toughness, and craftiness off the dribble. He's a useful defender with great anticipation instincts and the necessary mentality to succeed within this program.'
