Parker a White Knoll HS transfer will be a name that will be garnering plenty of interest from college programs down the road if not sooner. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/C13CECD3-DB08-44D9-8E60-79C1A856C65C.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1226282" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/C13CECD3-DB08-44D9-8E60-79C1A856C65C-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1225776" first="Brenton" last="Elliott"] - York Prep (Rock Hill)</strong></p> <p>Elliott is a new name to add to the database after coming over from the Hoop State. Elliott comes over from Gaston Christian (NC) and Rod Howard Select on the Grassroots Circuit. Elliott is just another piece to the puzzle for the talented Patriots roster. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/7D08F02F-2413-4D82-A566-A576D4F7E289.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1226281" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/7D08F02F-2413-4D82-A566-A576D4F7E289-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1214182" first="Kendall" last="Williams"] - Spring Valley HS </strong></p> <p>Williams isn’t flashy at all but he does what Head Coach Cypheus Bunton tells him to do. Williams will dive on the floor, post up with his back to the basket all while competing in the paint for the Vikings. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1071723" first="Kristian" last="Hodges"] - JL Mann HS (Greenville) (pictured on front) </strong></p> <p>Hodges was able to post-up and be a power guy at times today for the Patriots. Hodges isn’t afraid to take a charge while defending a post player down on the block. Hodges a strong framed player played his best basketball 5 feet in today and along the way hustled for every loose ball. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/C9848831-299D-474D-A0CA-E8BAE67DF85A.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1226278" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/C9848831-299D-474D-A0CA-E8BAE67DF85A-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="865337" first="Myles" last="Squirewell"] - Ridge View HS </strong></p> <p>Myles really likes to bring his lunch pale to work especially when he cleans up on the glass. Squirewell really battles for position in the paint and grabs every rebound it seems. Myles a undersized but very effective post understands his role on the floor for the Blazers and embraces it. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/34A73FB7-F345-476E-9734-FA16832DCAF6.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1226291" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/34A73FB7-F345-476E-9734-FA16832DCAF6-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1186674" first="Dominick" last="Jones"] - Wilson HS (Florence) </strong></p> <p>Jones is a bit of a swiss army knife and does a bit of everything for Head Coach Carlos Powell. Jones isn’t fancy at all with his play but effective on the floor. Jones brings great energy to the floor if it comes to rebounding, grabbing a loose ball, handling the rock or defending all over the floor. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/CFF55147-20FD-4FAD-94D7-4FA3BD66DD22.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1226280" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/CFF55147-20FD-4FAD-94D7-4FA3BD66DD22-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1225774" first="Brandon" last="Crawford"] - Irmo HS </strong></p> <p>Crawford is a RAW project in the middle for Head Coach Tim Whipple. Prep Hoops first saw Crawford earlier in the spring playing with the HYB Raptors on the Grassroots Circuit. Crawford will alter and challenge shots down in the paint and run the floor very well. Brandon really needs to develop a post move down the road. Crawford does a good job of keeping the ball up high and scoring around the basket when given the opportunity. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1225775" first="Corean" last="Nelson"] - Crestwood HS (Dalzell) </strong></p> <p>Nelson a point guard stirs the drink for the Knights offense and Head Coach Aric Samuel. Nelson has good shot elevation on his shot. Corean is shifty with the ball in his hands to get by defenders with that next gear. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/D0AF6E59-E5F3-4615-899A-9C4312F8D7D1.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1226285" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/D0AF6E59-E5F3-4615-899A-9C4312F8D7D1-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>Andarrius Young - Fairfield Central HS (Winnsboro) </strong></p> <p>Young a left-handed point guard really does a good job coming screens and turning the corner to the basket. Young has the ability to knockdown shots on the perimeter for the Mighty Griffins. </p>
