A 6'4" small forward who can do a little bit of everything, Peoples was very active on defense and played aggressively in the paint and around the hoop. A good athlete who can get up and block shots or take a fast break for a dunk, he also has the ability to knock down shots from deep and stretch the floor as a shooter. </li> </ul>   [player_tooltip player_id="1102676" first="Rob" last="Wade"] | SF | McCallum Recruitment: Committed to UT-Dallas <ul> <li>Wade had a great senior season averaging 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block per game for McCallum, leading the Knights to an Area-Round playoff appearance.

Earned First Team All-District 26-6A. </li> </ul>   [player_tooltip player_id="1150100" first="Augustine" last="Arroyo"] | PG | Manor Recruitment: Uncommitted <ul> <li>Arroyo is a true playmaker on offense who can light it up from deep range. He can hit from anywhere from beyond-the-arc and showed the capability to go on scoring hot streaks where he could take over games for Manor.
