6’6 Ryan Evans (Cap City Charlotte)
Between his size and shooting alone, it’s surprising that Evans doesn’t have way more suitors. At 6-foot-6, he’s a legitimate perimeter player who can apply pressure as a spot-up threat or creator with the ball in his hands. Evans is comfortable in various roles and understands how to adapt whenever necessary. He consistently hits jumpers, attacks closeouts, and makes his presence felt as a defender and rebounder. Like most of these unsigned seniors, Evans would’ve already received a ton of offers (and likely committed) in a normal year.
6’8 Kotchi Wilfried (MidState Magic)
It doesn’t take more than a mere glance to realize that Wilfried should be a priority for a ton of next-level programs. He’s a long, fluid athlete with size, strength, and interior instincts on both ends of the floor. Wilfried knows his identity and looks to physically overwhelm opponents around the basket as a finisher, rebounder, and rim-protector. He’s a great athlete who routinely plays above the rim and runs the floor effectively in transition. Wilfried also appears comfortable making passes or hitting the occasional jumper. While he should appeal to scholarship-level coaches, he certainly has all the tools to be a difference-maker for a variety of programs.
6’3 Kaleb Roope (Team Loaded 336)
Shooting is such a consistently valued skill, and Roope is truly one of the best available shooters in North Carolina. He’s a fairly well-rounded guard, but knows how to apply constant pressure from beyond the arc. Roope is a lethal spot-up threat who really only requires a glimmer of daylight to get off (and convert) clean looks. He moves well without the ball and understands when to assert himself, yet still looks to make the extra pass whenever possible. Roope has the ability to be a useful addition for several programs.
