Season Preview: Moravian Prep Regional Team

<p>While a lot has been said about the Moravian Prep National Team, they've got some favorable talent on their regional squad as well. Here's a look at prospects to watch from their squad and a brief overview of their 2019-20 schedule.</p> <h5>Backcourt</h5> <h5>2020 Cam Thompson</h5> <p>Thompson is quite the competitor on both ends for this Moravian Prep squad. He can get to the rim and finish using his quickness at 5-foot-10. He can make plays for his teammates with his tough handles and passing ability. He can defend with his speed and strength. He's the proverbial leader for this squad and they go as he goes. He controls pace well and plays both ends with a sense of urgency. He's a prospect college coaches will want to track.</p> <h5>2021 Parker Grant</h5> <p>Grant is a shifty combo guard with an underrated first step and tons of athleticism that allows him to operate on all three levels. At 6-foot-3, he's quite the combo guard prospect with his knack for creating for himself and others off the bounce. He's coming along on defense just as the rest of the team is and as he finds his mojo on the defensive end, he's a prospect that should gain traction as a solid prospect for some college programs.</p> <h5>2022 Hamilton Campbell</h5> <p>Campbell is a new addition to the regional squad and should play a solid role off the bench as a playmaker and scorer for this team. He's got a nice handle with the ball in his hands and makes nifty passes to get his guys going on offense. He's also got nice range on the perimeter and can get to the rim with relative ease with his length at 6-foot.</p> <h5>2021 Badu Griffin</h5> <p>Consider Griffin to be a glue guy for this team with his ability to defend the basketball at a high level and fill whatever role may be needed at the time. He can get to the rim and finish strong in traffic and is also quite the underrated shooter from deep. He's an intriguing prospect for his size at 6-foot as well given his frame and strength on both ends. He'll be a prospect to keep an eye on as the season progresses.</p> <h5>2025 Eli Ellis</h5> <p>Ellis is a lethal sharpshooter with unlimited range on the perimeter. He's only in the seventh grade but plays well beyond his years with his high IQ and ability to defend and force turnovers. He can operate off the dribble but for now, he's one that's looking to make the defense pay from deep and can do so with quite the efficiency already at a young age.</p> <h5>Frontcourt</h5> <h5>2021 Blane St Clair</h5> <p>St. Clair is an emerging shooter from all three levels that's slowly finding his way on this squad. He can score off the catch and off the dribble and has nice length on the perimeter at 6-foot-4 that gives opposing defense nightmares already. He holds an offer from DePaul already and is due to earn more offers with his ability to score in bunches.</p> <h5>2021 Tee Bryan</h5> <p>Bryan is a versatile forward prospect at 6-foot-4 that never stops playing on either end. He can defend in the paint and on the perimeter and won't hesitate to put the ball on the floor and get to the rim on offense. When he doesn't have the ball in his hands, he's battling in the paint for rebounds, using his long wingspan to be a difference-maker on the hardwood. He's another prospect in this frontcourt due for some offers coming his way very soon.</p> <h5>2021 Tavis Bridges</h5> <p>Bridges is an emerging forward prospect in the paint with his ability to play above the rim and operate in the post. He's got nice length at 6-foot-8 and uses it well on both ends to make an impact. On defense, he blocks shots around the rim with relative ease and secures rebounds in traffic. On offense, he's becoming quite the threat on the block. As he finds his confidence, he's beginning to really come into his own in the paint.</p> <h5>2024 Brayden Crump</h5> <p>Crump is another young prospect on this regional team that's only in the eighth grade but continues to show that he belongs on the floor. He can stretch the defense with his outside shooting ability and uses his 6-foot-6 frame well on the interior to finish around the rim. As he develops his game, look for him to become a hot commodity on the recruiting trail very soon. </p> <h5>2019-20 Regional Schedule</h5> <p>Oct 26 Greenville’s SC Jamboree</p> <p>November<br /> 2 @ Phenom Jamboree<br /> 5 Covenant 6:00 pm<br /> 9 @ Winston-Salem/HoopCities<br /> 12 Freedom Scrimmage<br /> 14 BTSB <br /> 16 Knoxville <br /> 19 Charlotte Secondary <br /> 21 Legion Charter<br /> 22/23 Charlotte Showcase</p> <p>December<br /> 6 MP Showcase (Combine Reg.<br /> 10 @ Elevation Prep<br /> 13-14 Big Shots WV<br /> 16 Carolina Wildcats<br /> 17 @ Lincoln Charter<br /> 19-21 Raleigh Exposure Tnmt</p> <p>January<br /> 6 Npire Australia<br /> 8 Elevation <br /> 10 Legion Academy<br /> 11 Richmond/Comenius<br /> 14 Christian Family<br /> 16 @ Charlotte Secondary<br /> 17 Charlotte Elite<br /> 20 Zaxbys @ Greensboro<br /> 23 @ Franklin Prep<br /> 31 MP Showcase 2 games</p> <p>February <br /> 4 @Charlotte Elite<br /> 7 MP Showcase (Nebo)<br /> 12 Franklin Prep<br /> 14 MP Showcase<br /> 21 Wildcats<br /> 28-30 Big Shots National</p>
