Indiana, Florida, Alabama and Virginia Tech lead for his services. Teammate [player_tooltip player_id="650234" first="Jordyn" last="Surratt"] will stay at home and play down the road in the Big South Conference at USC Upstate. This frontcourt DUO just brings more talent to the Cavaliers roster for Head Coach Thomas Ryan. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/F6BAEB03-F105-4F82-A5EC-D08D5CE5C506-crop-1092x717-1629161600.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1266257" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/F6BAEB03-F105-4F82-A5EC-D08D5CE5C506-crop-1092x717-1629161600-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a></p> <p><strong>#2 - [player_tooltip player_id="1008902" first="MJ" last="Collins"] and #39  [player_tooltip player_id="1036935" first="Richard" last="Black III"] - Westminster Catawba (Rock Hill) </strong></p> <p>Collins is headed to the ACC next season after committing to Virginia Tech. [player_tooltip player_id="1036935" first="Richard" last="Black III"] is a attacking guard who really finds ways to score the ball. The Indians have plenty of weapons on this roster for Head Coach Ed Addie. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/6160FEB8-E55A-4CFE-869A-0459E94BCD6A.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1236607" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/6160FEB8-E55A-4CFE-869A-0459E94BCD6A-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>#5 - [player_tooltip player_id="837330" first="Shane" last="Blakeney"] and #6 - [player_tooltip player_id="837343" first="Marcus" last="Kell"] - Legion Collegiate (Rock Hill) </strong></p> <p>Staying in the Upstate this Lancers DUO recently ended their recruitment. Blakeney will head up to Philadelphia to play at Drexel University while Marcus will play at Western Carolina University. The Lancers have plenty of talent on the roster this season to really make some noise. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/D4CD7416-5EC1-4304-A596-AB2D150F9F7F.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1223557" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/D4CD7416-5EC1-4304-A596-AB2D150F9F7F-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>#9 - [player_tooltip player_id="594075" first="Dylan" last="Williams"] and #17 - [player_tooltip player_id="930601" first="Julian" last="Kiett"] - Irmo HS </strong></p> <p>Williams a pure point guard decided not to play football this past season. Kiett nicknamed "Juice" can really get the ball going downhill to the cup. This is a fun DUO to watch for Head Coach Tim Whipple in the Class 4A ranks. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/F3FAC1EA-6C21-4DDF-BFDA-062BF6CE703C.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1168598" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/F3FAC1EA-6C21-4DDF-BFDA-062BF6CE703C-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>#10 - [player_tooltip player_id="949980" first="Isaiah" last="Williams"] and #24 - [player_tooltip player_id="837333" first="Samaad" last="Wright"] - Blythewood HS </strong></p> <p>Williams is headed out to Colorado Springs, CO to play for the Falcons in the Mountain West Conference. Wright a combo guard will be more of a focus point this season with the departure of Julian Phillips to the Show Me State. Can the Bengals make some noise in Class 5A under Head Coach Zeke Washington ? </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/DB0BEDCC-AB55-4B4C-A7AD-A3D80FB99B78.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1019096" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/DB0BEDCC-AB55-4B4C-A7AD-A3D80FB99B78-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>#11 - [player_tooltip player_id="746056" first="Kory" last="Davis"] and #19 - [player_tooltip player_id="746059" first="Kendall" last="Davis"] - York Prep </strong></p> <p>Kory and Kendall are really tough literally to identify off the court. When it comes to playing the game these two young men will jump in a fox hole and have your back in a hurry. Great teammates that love to play defense and create havoc at all times. This DUO will take a CHARGE on command which is truly a lost art this day in age. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/2801E5A7-1075-4796-B077-3633A145DDC4.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1298241" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/2801E5A7-1075-4796-B077-3633A145DDC4-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>#13 - [player_tooltip player_id="837320" first="Lebron" last="Thomas"] and #30 -  [player_tooltip player_id="930613" first="Bessanty" last="Saragba"] - Trinity Collegiate (Darlington) </strong></p> <p>Thomas was a great addition to the Titans roster last season for Head Coach Mike Teasley. The Titans won a SCISA Class 3A State Championship. Thomas a left-handed SLASHER deluxe to the rack can really pile up the points. Saragba is a athletic post player in his his 3rd year at the school. Bessanty and several of his teammates (SEVERAL SENIORS) this season will make a look to repeat once again. The Titans have plenty of one stop shopping for college programs this year. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/9F1402BE-4FE8-48A4-AEBE-A3EAC6DC7289.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1223583" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/9F1402BE-4FE8-48A4-AEBE-A3EAC6DC7289-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>#18 - [player_tooltip player_id="1017696" first="Drake" last="Downs"] and #28 - [player_tooltip player_id="780355" first="Caleb" last="Byrd"] - Mauldin HS </strong></p> <p>Downs and Byrd have been instrumental in the Mavericks play over the past few years. Downs a athletic forward and Byrd a combo guard played at the Class 5A level in the Upstate. This DUO both ran with Big Shots CPA SC 2022 this past Grassroots season. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/B0C45098-3C6E-4319-9AFB-4611FB9AACCA.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1220854" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/B0C45098-3C6E-4319-9AFB-4611FB9AACCA-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>#27 - [player_tooltip player_id="930607" first="Tory" last="Kelly"] and #47 - [player_tooltip player_id="594048" first="Calvin" last="Hall"] - Gray Collegiate </strong></p> <p>This backcourt DUO have won a few State Championships over the years for Head Coach Dion Bethea. Kelly a rugged tough guard also excels on the gridiron. Hall a combo guard has the ability to knockdown shots on the perimeter or bring some toughness as a on the ball defender. </p> <p>Plenty of talent in this 2022 Palmetto State Class.
