<p>The Swanny’s will identify its 2nd category from this past Grassroots season. What player is Always in Attack Mode ? I like to call a slasher deluxe at times. These players prefer to go to the rack for the majority of the time instead of looking to shoot a perimeter jumper.</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/EA2154CE-8CDC-48C7-AD65-E6762D8A22C7.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1148023" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/EA2154CE-8CDC-48C7-AD65-E6762D8A22C7-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="837320" first="Lebron" last="Thomas"] - Trinity Collegiate (Darlington) - Winner of the Swanny’s: Always in Attack Mode - Slasher Deluxe (pictured on front) </strong></p> <p>Thomas has had quite a year that’s for sure. Thomas made the over to Trinity Collegiate last season after Lee Central HS decided not to play basketball. Thomas made the most of it that’s for sure when he helped the Titans win the SCISA Class 3A State Championship. Thomas EXCELS going to the basket in attack mode and finishing at the cup. </p> <p>Thomas a left-handed guard picked up a offer from the University of Mount Olive (NC) (NCAA D2) this summer. Lebron is great in the open floor and does spend a good portion of the game at the free throw line it seems. Thomas eclipsed the 1,000 career points last season while playing at Trinity Collegiate. Thomas played on the Grassroots Circuit with Florence International Basketball (FIBA). </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/1FCC8D8E-A761-42D8-9646-4EBE0BB2AFB2.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1238653" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/1FCC8D8E-A761-42D8-9646-4EBE0BB2AFB2-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1036935" first="Richard" last="Black III"] - Westminster Catawba (Rock Hill) </strong></p> <p>Richard has the ability to pile up some points in a hurry for his squad. Black III has been solid all spring and summer playing with Team Synergy and most recently with Team Eat. Richard will form a nice 1-2 punch with [player_tooltip player_id="1008902" first="MJ" last="Collins"] (Virginia Tech) commit this coming season for the Indians. Black III does a tremendous job turning the corner and getting the ball to the cup in just a few strides. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/83702D31-5CC0-4837-8F94-3BF53C074DB0.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1221563" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/83702D31-5CC0-4837-8F94-3BF53C074DB0-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="996190" first="Justin" last="Pauling"] - York Prep (Rock Hill) </strong></p> <p>Pauling plays football in the fall at York Comprehensive HS as a defensive back. Justin a slasher really excels taking the basket to the cup. Pauling is always around the ball to make a play and manufacture points for his team. Justin saw good minutes last season as a freshman for the Patriots and really compliments the upper classmen on this team. </p> <p>#RecruitThePalmettoState </p> <p>SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 - Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo - Myrtle Beach, SC @ Myrtle Beach Sports Center - SIGN up today on prephoops.com/events for more details - use the pass code "swansontop250" at checkout to save $10. </p>
