#11 Justin Bailey Justin Bailey 6'1" | PG Blue Ridge | 2022 State SC – Blue Ridge HS (Greer)

Bailey a left-handed guard has had a strong summer from the high school to the Grassroots Circuit season with Upward Stars Southeast 2022. Bailey has picked up offers from Charleston Southern, Citadel and USC Upstate. Bailey a scoring guard from out top averaged 25,5 ppg this season for the Fighting Tigers. 

#21 Lawrence Bartee Lawrence Bartee 6'10" | C Clover | 2022 State SC – Clover HS 

Bartee has been making noise the past few months running with the Blue Eagles and Next Level SC. Bartee a true post player has made great progress since arriving in the Palmetto State from across the border at Myers Park HS (Charlotte). Bartee recently as of today picked up a offer from High Point University and Head Coach Tubby Smith. 

#31 Ca’Darrius Sowell Ca’Darrius Sowell 6'0" | PG Andrew Jackson | 2022 State SC – Andrew Jackson HS (Kershaw) 

Sowell really makes the engine go for Volunteers Head Coach Danny Wright. Ca’Darrius has the ability to create his own shot and get by defenders up the floor. Sowell plays the game extremely hard and never takes a play off while on the floor. Sowell landed a offer from Francis Marion University earlier this summer. 

#48 Bryson Felder Bryson Felder 6'3" | SF Westwood | 2022 State SC – Westwood HS (pictured on front)

Felder had a good showing last month for the Redhawks while picking up some NCAA D2 offers along the way from Francis Marion University (SC), Johnson C Smith (NC) and Southern Wesleyan University (SC). Felder a athletic wing brings a great motor to the table for his Grassroots team Upward Stars Columbia. 

#49 JJ Hicklin JJ Hicklin 6'3" | SF South Pointe | 2022 State SC – South Pointe HS (Rock Hill) 

Hicklin just brings toughness to the floor along with the football field. JJ a defensive for the Stallions football team is a brute in the paint with his physical play. Hicklin plays bigger than his size down on the block. Hicklin picked up a offer from Francis Marion University after his play at the SCBCA #SCLive2021. 

#50 Josh Linder Josh Linder 6'8" | PF Spartanburg | 2022 State SC – Spartanburg HS 

Linder had a strong showing in the SCBCA #SCLive2021 Camp last month with the Vikings. Josh has continued his hot play with his ability to run the floor and alter shots on the defensive end of the floor. Linder a left-handed forward is finally coming into his own with offers from Coker University, Erskine College, Limestone University and Southern Wesleyan this summer.
