Kobe Sims - Fox Creek High School - 6’1 - SG

Kobe Sims put together a highly impressive weekend by scoring at an incredibly high clip from both mid-range and beyond the arc. Sims played with a sharp focus, displaying a much-improved comfort level when creating his own shot off the dribble. This evolution from a dependent floor-spacer to a dynamic, self-sufficient shot creator drastically elevates his offensive ceiling. If he maintains this level of hyper-focused scoring versatility, college programs looking for backcourt firepower will need to take notice.

Randy Robinson - Fox Creek High School - 6’5 - F

Randy Robinson plays with the raw power of a bowling ball, constantly overwhelming opponents in the painted area with his permanent attack mode mentality. Robinson is an exceptionally strong downhill driver who embraces contact, routinely bulldozing his way to the rim for high-percentage finishes. On the glass, he uses his sturdy frame to act as an elite defensive rebounder who completely locks down the possession battle. To maximize his collegiate projection, would like to see him expand his game outward and stretch the floor as a perimeter shooting threat.

Jayden Rowe - Gray Collegiate Academy - 6’3 - SG

Jayden Rowe is a fluid and explosive athlete whose recruiting stock is on a distinct upward trajectory. Rowe showcased a noticeably tighter handle, allowing him to get to his spots for smooth pull-up jumpers while concurrently knocking down the three-point shot at a high rate. Beyond his offensive output, he locked in as a highly effective perimeter defender who can disrupt opposing sets with his lateral quickness and good rim protection for his size. If Rowe can pair this elite two-way flashes with night-to-night consistency, his profile will continue to climb.

Christian Rivera - Denmark-Olar High School - 5’7 - PG

Christian Rivera proves that dynamic playmaking can completely override an undersized 5’7” frame. Rivera is a lightning-quick facilitator who acts as a premier paint-touch threat, possessing the rare burst required to get a piece of the lane virtually at will. Once inside, he displays excellent maturity by playing with his head and eyes up, routinely picking apart collapsing defenses with pinpoint passes. He can fill up the scoring column in a flash, making him a highly dangerous, high-tempo floor general.

James Epting - Daniel High School - 6’2 - CG

James Epting stands out as a textbook, fundamentally sound player who consistently plays the game the right way. Epting is a lethal catch-and-shoot weapon whose perimeter tracking forces opposing defenses to stay glued to him on the wing. When tasked with putting the ball on the floor, his good basketball IQ shines through via crisp, high-level reads that keep the offense completely on time. He projects as a highly dependable, low-turnover guard who perfectly blends spacing with smart decision-making.

Jaden Johnson - Dorman High School - 6’ - PG

Jaden Johnson established himself as a premier backcourt point-producer who can score from anywhere on the floor. Johnson is an exceptionally dynamic shooter who converts at a high rate both off the catch and while moving at full speed. What makes his profile projectable, however, is his commitment to the other side of the ball, where he is comfortable guarding the point of attack. Programs in need of a two-way lead guard who can anchor a defense and get buckets will covet his balanced skill set.

Bryce Ward - James Island High School - 6’ - CG

Bryce Ward turned heads this weekend by proving he has made a spectacular recovery from knee surgery, comfortably playing above the rim with his signature quick-twitch athleticism. The 6'0" combo guard is an absolute weapon from deep, but he pairs that outside shooting with a lightning-fast first step that lets him touch the paint at will. While he possesses the vision to get his teammates involved, Ward is at his most lethal when he is hunt-mode as a primary bucket-getter. As college coaches verify his return to peak athletic form, his offer list is primed for a significant expansion.

DJ Wylie - Ridge View High School - 6’3 - SF

DJ Wylie is an explosive athlete who perfectly embodies the coveted "low-maintenance, high-production" modern wing archetype. Wylie is a defensive game-changer, utilizing his length and elite lateral motor to be a lockdown on- and off-ball defender. His offensive utility has taken a massive leap forward due to a noticeably sharper perimeter skill set and cleaner ball-handling mechanics. By providing elite defensive instincts and efficient offensive play, Wylie projects as a premium winning piece for any college program that gets him.

Fabian McClintock - Byrnes High School - 6’4 - F

Fabian McClintock acts as the ultimate frontcourt glue guy, possessing a rare basketball IQ that allows him to drop a quiet twenty points without ever disrupting the flow of the offense. McClintock is a master at moving without the basketball, constantly manipulating defensive lapses to score off cuts, curls, and offensive putbacks. His offensive ceiling is expanding rapidly as his jumper shows improved perimeter range, forcing defenses to respect him beyond the painted area. This Swiss Army knife versatility makes him a valuable asset who fits seamlessly into any lineup configuration.
