Collin Tanner Collin Tanner 6'6" | SF Combine Academy | 2023 State NC | 6’6 Guard/Wing | Wayne Country Day School
Tanner has impressed with his addition to the Wayne Country Day School rotation, emerging as a double-double machine off the wing. He’s produced 25.3 ppg and 7.5 rpg along with five double-doubles as his squad is off to a 10-2 start. He holds offers from Coastal Carolina and Campbell already. LM and MM schools at the DI level would be wise to get eyes on him.
Nigel Okwakol Nigel Okwakol 6'5" | CG Quality Education Academy | 2023 State NC | 6’5 Guard/Wing | NCGBBA Regional
Okwakol is really starting to come into his own a versatile wing/guard threat at 6-foot-5. He’s posted 21.6 ppg, 3.8 rpg and 2.0 spg as an energy/glue guy in the NC GBBA Regional rotation. He’s an emerging name that can operate on all three levels and make plays in traffic in the paint. LM/MM colleges at the DI and DII levels would be wise to take a look at him.
Cole Callaway Cole Callaway 6'4" | SG Lake Norman | 2023 State NC | 6’4 Guard | Lake Norman High
Callaway continues to grow in the 2023 class at Lake Norman High. He’s producing 20.7 ppg, 4.5 rpg and 1.5 spg while showing off his growth as more than a shooter on the perimeter. He’s become a more active presence on the rebounding and defensive front and it’s shown as the Wildcats are off to a 6-0 start. He’s another LM/MM prospect for DI and DII schools to get eyes on with a strong frame.
Keenan Wilkins Keenan Wilkins 5'11" | PG Christ School | 2024 State NC | 6’0 Guard | Hendersonville High
Wilkins is a speedy guard that can fill it up in a hurry on all three levels that has a ton of confidence at Hendersonville High. He’s a 6-foot guard producing 25.0 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 4.4 apg and 3.0 spg through their first seven games as they’re off to a 7-0 start. He’s a crafty name that makes his presence felt in a variety of ways when he’s on the floor. LM DI and HM DII schools would be wise to get eyes on him.
Chase Dawson Chase Dawson 5'10" | PG Cary Academy | 2023 State NC | 6’0 Guard | Cary Academy
Dawson is another emerging guard to know at Cary Academy as they’re off to a 4-3 start to the season. He’s put up 21.3 ppg, 2.1 rpg and 1.6 apg as a volume-scoring guard that gets to his spots on all three levels to make things happen. He’s shooting 49 percent from the field and 42 percent from 3-point range in 2021-22. DII and DIII schools should take a look at him.
