Legion Collegiate will still be RANKED in the Palmetto State since the school is located in Rock Hill. Lets take a look at this region right here on your source for basketball coverage in the Palmetto State. It’s time to #RecruitThePalmettoState
Prep Hoops Predictions:
1.York Prep – The Patriots have a veteran team with a lot of upperclassmen and experience.
2.Andrew Jackson HS (Kershaw) – Never count out the Volunteers and Head Coach Danny Wright.
3. Central HS (Pageland) – The Eagles will soar at times this coming season.
4.Cheraw HS – The Braves could be a surprise team here this season.
5.North Central HS – Kaleb Caldwell Kaleb Caldwell 5'10" | PG North Central | 2023 State SC will carry the load here for the Knights this season.
6.Chesterfield HS – The Rams might be playing football late into the fall. The Rams were (1-11) last year.
7. Buford HS (Lancaster) – The Yellow Jackets finished up at (3-9) last season.
Kory Davis Kory Davis 5'11" | PG York Prep | 2022 State SC (2022) – York Prep – Prep Hoops Preseason Region Player of the Year (pictured on front)
Kory is just half of the Davis brothers connection playing for their father Larry Davis. Kory is a GAMER with a willingness to take a CHARGE on COMMAND. Kory just plays the game with no chest pounding, no jumping around, no talking trash – JUST plays the game to his fullest like his brother.
Kendall Davis Kendall Davis 6'0" | PG York Prep | 2022 State SC (2022) – York Prep
Kendall and Kory at times both could take 3-4 charges in a game a piece (I have personally witnessed this several times over the years). Kendall plays the game with a craftiness and competitive edge you can’t teach at all. These two young men will be a great addition to a college program next year wherever that might be.
Ca’Darrius Sowell Ca’Darrius Sowell 6'0" | PG Andrew Jackson | 2022 State SC (2022) – Andrew Jackson HS (Kershaw)
Sowell was great all summer long with the Volunteers or running with Upward Stars Pee Dee. Ca’Darrius a crafty guard has a nice mid-range jumper along with the ability to create his own shot at anytime. Sowell is a GAMER and this region is just LOADED with them and strong guard play.
Devin Gillespie Devin Gillespie 6'3" | CG Cheraw | 2022 State SC (2022) – Cheraw HS
Gillespie took the summer off from playing basketball to concentrate playing football. Gillespie has been on the varsity since the 8th grade and will look to concentrate on football at the next level.
Jamious Dunlap Jamious Dunlap 6'0" | CG Central (Pageland) | 2022 State SC (2022) – Central HS (Pageland)
Dunlap has a endless MOTOR that just keeps running and running. Jamious is best when he’s playing the game in attack mode. Dunlap plays the game extremely active at all times.
Jimeion Brown Jimeion Brown 6'8" | PF York Prep | 2022 State SC (2022) – York Prep
Brown a slender-sleek forward can really glide all over the floor for the Patriots. Jimeion is best at times just being a rim runner to the basket and a quick leaper.
Jy’Quawn Ealey Jy’Quawn Ealey 6'2" | SF Andrew Jackson | 2022 State SC (2022) – Andrew Jackson HS (Kershaw)
Ealey plays the game with a bit of a mean streak and a very competitive demeanor. Jy’Quawn a football player for the Volunteers carries that mentality at times over to the hardwood. Ealey does a good job of finishing on contact to the cup while always playing every play like it’s his last one.
Tanas Watkins Tanas Watkins 6'4" | PF Andrew Jackson | 2022 State SC (2022) – Andrew Jackson HS (Kershaw)
Watkins isn’t flashy at all but he sure does play HARD. Tanas has an nice set of shoulders to work inside the paint and around the blocks. Watkins is like a Junk Yard Dog at times and finishes put-backs earning those blue collar points with his athleticism.
LaDarian McCree LaDarian McCree 5'11" | PG York Prep | 2022 State SC (2022) – York Prep
McCree is part of that trio or foursome in the Patriots backcourt at times. McCree really likes to use the ball screen at times to turner the corner and get the ball to the basket. Can the Patriots get out of the region this season as the top team ?
