6’1 ’25 Tyree White (Covenant Day)
Although there were multiple standouts from this Covenant Day group, Tyree White was arguably the top performer on display. Overall, it was a typical showing for the floor general. He consistently broke down defenders, touched the paint, and made intelligent decisions with the ball in his hands. White possesses an innate feel for the game and true understanding of how to effectively run a team. He looks to create for others as often as possible, yet offers a seemingly perfect balance between scoring and playmaking. White is very meticulous, fundamentally sound player who prioritizes getting his teammates the ball in favorable scoring positions. He’s a poised, confident leader by example who sets the tone on both ends of the floor. White also displays excellent pace and possesses a strong frame. He’s the type of player who should be a target for several types of programs—as he will be a winner whenever he ends up.
6’6 ’26 Tarris Bouie (Chambers)
If the entry above wasn’t the most impressive performer, it was undoubtedly Tarris Bouie. On one hand, Bouie is still absolutely overflowing with long-term upside. However, he’s already such a remarkable player that it’s easy to walk away more and more astonished with his general makeup. At 6-foot-6 with long arms and explosiveness, it doesn’t take long to notice Bouie’s unique array of physical tools. His frame is quite intriguing, and his present lack of elite strength doesn’t affect his ability to dominate a game at the highest level. Bouie sets the tone through his infectious energy on both ends of the floor. He flies around looking to snatch rebounds, block shots, and make a nonstop flow of plays in transition. Bouie applies constant pressure at the rim, yet also hits jumpers at a high clip from midrange and well beyond the arc. He’s a smart passer, cutter, and defender. Right now, opponents have no real answer for Bouie. Assuming he continues on his current trajectory, Bouie has all the attributes to be special.
5’11 ’26 Cam Newman (Gaston Christian)
After somewhat of a quiet travel ball season, Cam Newman enters the fall league and immediately starts destroying the competition. He’s an incredibly smart, poised point guard who can approach the game in several ways. We’ve seen him shine as a primary playmaker and productive game manager who can take over a game when needed. Now, Newman wastes no time asserting himself as the clear focal point of this group. He still aggressively looks to get others involved but is polished enough to take advantage of scoring opportunities whenever available. On Saturday, Newman displayed vision, scoring prowess, and great instincts defensively. If he continues to perform like he did this past weekend, college coaches will certainly need to start extending scholarships.
5’11 ’27 CP Perry (Carson)
Quite different from the floor generals listed above, CP Perry has quickly become one of the most electric, exciting players in the state. In a time when kids are playing an insane amount of basketball games, Perry is one of those guys who visibly competes in every single contest. This fall league was no different. Perry is a highly polished, crafty guard with the combination of vision, scoring, and creation skills to cause constant problems for opponents. He scores from all over the floor while making correct reads and getting others involved. Perry is somewhat of a deceptive player, and he knows how to use it to his advantage. He knows exactly how to lull opponents into errant decisions and defensive miscues. Add in the chemistry he has with his year-round teammates, and it’s easy to see why Perry is the leader of this group.
6’5 ’26 Jack Siegel (Charlotte Catholic)
Everyone listed should be due for an uptick in recruitment, but Jack Siegel’s stock should see as much rise as anyone. While he might seem unassuming at first glance, Siegel is an extremely skilled, talented player. At 6-foot-5 with a highly polished offensive arsenal, he’s able to naturally cause a ton of matchup problems. Siegel might not be the most powerful athlete, but it doesn’t affect his ability to dominate a game. His blend of IQ, size, and all-around skillset truly allows him to do everything on the court. Siegel is a wing who can dictate the offense, operate from the post, or apply pressure along the arc. Teams can try to use various types of defenders to combat these scoring avenues, but he always seems to have an answer. Add in his vision, rebounding ability, and general instincts on both ends of the floor, and it’s easy to envision Siegel having a breakout junior year at Charlotte Catholic.
