Jeremy Dixon Jeremy Dixon 6'5" | SF Kinston | 2022 State NC , 6’5 Wing/Forward, Kinston, 2022
Dixon is a prospect that can get downhill and finish at the rim with his athleticism. He’s a strong, versatile wing/forward that can defend multiple positions on the floor and rebound on both ends. As he improves his shot-making ability as the primary option in the offense, look for his recruitment to grow in the Kinston High rotation.
Dontavious Pettaway, 6’4 Forward, Greene Central, 2022
Pettaway is an emerging prospect in the Greene Central rotation that plays with a ton of energy on both ends of the floor. He flies around both ends of the floor making plays around the rim using his athleticism and length. As he shows his offensive arsenal off this season, look for his recruitment to grow in the class.
Israel Powell Israel Powell 6'4" | SF Hertford County | 2023 State NC , 6’3 Forward/Wing, Hertford County, 2023
Powell is another athletic prospect at the 2A level that makes plays at the rim and in the paint for Hertford County. He’s set to have a strong junior season after posting 10.7 ppg and 4.3 rpg in 2020-21 as a sophomore.
Javon Bullock, 6’3 Wing/Forward, JF Webb, 2022
Bullock is a versatile prospect hat should play multiple roles in the rotation this season with his length and ability at 6-foot-3. He can handle the ball, make plays for others and operate in the paint with his skill set. He’ll be a solid 1-2 combination alongside Markeevis Latta Markeevis Latta 5'11" | SG JF Webb | 2023 State NC in the JF Webb rotation in the 2021-22 season.
Jarin Stevenson Jarin Stevenson 6'8" | SF Seaforth | 2024 #14 Nation NC , 6’7 Forward/Wing, Seaforth, 2024
Stevenson is a top prospect in NC’s 2024 class set to make his debut for Seaforth High at the 2A level after starring for Northwood High this past season. He’s an inside-out that can create his own shot in the paint or as a threat on the perimeter, creating matchup problems in the process. He’s a high-major prospect in the making to keep an eye on.
