Deep ’21 Classes

Maryville

Entire ’21 class

Josh Seiler Josh Seiler 6'5" | SF Maryville | 2021 State TN
Jack Brown Jack Brown 6'4" | SG Maryville | 2021 State TN

Head Coach: Mark Eldridge
District: 4 AAA

–Rebel success in 2019-2020 truly was anchored by Joe Anderson Joe Anderson 6'0" | PG Maryville | 2020 State TN and the ’21 class is not large. Still, these two players are completely poised to breakout. Athletic, tall wings.

Oak Ridge

2019-20 season: Of the five Oak Ridge losses, three were to Cleveland and Maryville. Oak Ridge is a deep team with a large, dynamic ’21 class. A single senior graduated (Isaiah Johnson) and three starters return.

Entire ’21 class

Jeremy Miller Jeremy Miller 6'3" | CG Oak Ridge | 2021 State TN
Jonathan Milloway Jonathan Milloway 6'8" | SF Oak Ridge | 2021 State TN
Johnathan Stewart
Stafford Shanklin
Nicholas Dallas
Jaylen Hyeward
Preston Turner

Head Coach: Aaron Green
District: 3 AAA

—Of the unranked Wildcats, Johnathan Stewart is certainly the most deserving of a new look. He had a powerful junior season. Very few teams in Tennessee bring a big man like Milloway on their bus.

Cleveland

Entire ’21 class

Michael Dale
Kley McGowan Kley McGowan 6'4" | SG Cleveland | 2021 State TN
Grant Hurst Grant Hurst 6'1" | CG Cleveland | 2021 State TN
James Hall James Hall 6'4" | SF Cleveland | 2021 State TN
Keion Reid

Head Coach: Reggie Tucker
District: 5 AAA

— Kley McGowan Kley McGowan 6'4" | SG Cleveland | 2021 State TN took a leap forward in 2020. Grant Hurst Grant Hurst 6'1" | CG Cleveland | 2021 State TN is a gym rat with exceptional shooting skill Michael Dale should be in the latest 2021 rankings. His omission was an oversight. McGowan is likely to take another large step forward without the incredible scorer JaCobi Wood around (Belmont freshman).

Bradley Central

2019-20 season: Bradley Central delivered Cleveland High their lone loss, February 25th. Three seniors graduated (Saylor Clark, Ashton Boyd, Dakota Davis). The transfer out of ’22 Quante Berry is going hurt. Berry left for a North Carolina school.

Entire ’21 class

Tray Curry Tray Curry 6'5" | SG Bradley Central | 2021 State TN
Mason Rothwell Mason Rothwell 6'5" | CG Bradley Central | 2021 State TN
Cole Haney
Tucker Greene
Issaac Smith

Head Coach: Chuck Clark
District: 5 AAA

—The district of 5AAA is incredibly challenging. East Hamilton lacks the ’21 depth of these Bears of the Blue Raiders, but the EHHS guards are certainly notable ( Darwin Randolph Darwin Randolph 6'0" | PG East Hamilton | 2021 State TN , Marcus Long II Marcus Long II 6'2" | CG East Hamilton | 2021 State TN ). For Bradley Central, Tray Curry Tray Curry 6'5" | SG Bradley Central | 2021 State TN is a handful though and he dominates the glass in every game he competes. Mason Rothwell Mason Rothwell 6'5" | CG Bradley Central | 2021 State TN is still developing. His skill is promising and enticing.

Knoxville Central

2019-20 season: The Central Bobcats finished 2019-2020 with a 17-16 record.

Entire ’21 class

Greg Moore Greg Moore 6'4" | SG Knoxville Central | 2021 State TN
Elyjah Foster
Ahmad Belton Jr.
Joseph Meade
Jaylon Harris
Jadin Horton

Head Coach: Andy Hill
District: 3 AAA

— Greg Moore Greg Moore 6'4" | SG Knoxville Central | 2021 State TN is a tantalizing guard prospect with ideal guard size. Ahmad Belton Jr. is a feisty wing.
