Naseem played last year at The Rock (Gainesville, FL) after attending Eastside HS prior to that. Mayes a left-handed forward doesn’t mind facing up or posting up down low. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/11/5B969DD4-55B4-4637-91DD-092F8EDE84AB.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1089959" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/11/5B969DD4-55B4-4637-91DD-092F8EDE84AB-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1094705" first="Jesse" last="Singh"] (2022) - Byrnes HS </strong></p> <p>Singh is a magnet for the ball and always seems to do the little things for the Rebels. Jesse can hit the open jumper, rundown a rebound or take a charge. Singh is a great team player night in and night out. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/8E937FD3-40DE-45D8-BCC1-8081D4C716FB.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1224930" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/8E937FD3-40DE-45D8-BCC1-8081D4C716FB-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1017697" first="Josh" last="Linder"] (2022) - Spartanburg HS </strong></p> <p>Linder had a strong summer on the Grassroots Circuit. Josh a left-handed floor is a quick leaper with a nice long wingspan. Linder still must polish up his offensive skills runs the floor very well and finishes in transition. </p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/D3EE2C76-3D70-4EE7-B89F-29736A65429A.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1018668" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2020/07/D3EE2C76-3D70-4EE7-B89F-29736A65429A-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1018682" first="John" last="Kurkis"] (2022) - Spartanburg HS</strong> </p> <p>Will he play this year ?
