Zidkijah Edmond 6’0 PG Jefferson Davis 2024
Edmond is a smooth floor general that can operate as both a primary scorer and playmaker due to his skill set. Edmond has solid handles and the deceptive first step that makes him tough to stay in front of. In addition to that, he’s a slithery finisher around the basket who can avoid charges, defenders and find angles to finish at the rim at a high rate. As a shooter, he’s effective off the catch from deep and shows excellent touch on his mid-range pull-ups. Edmond shows good accuracy, timing, and awareness when making plays for others. He is elite at kicking out to the corners or making lob passes to bigs when breaking down defenses. As a defender, Edmond is impressive with his effort and willingness to take on challenges. He has an elite ability to block shots as a guard, which speaks to his basketball character and mentality.

Jordyn Turner-Durley Jordyn Turner-Durley 6'3" | CG Florence | 2023 State AL 6’3 PG Florence 2023
Durley is a big guard with a high skill level. At 6’3, he possesses the prototypical size to dominate smaller matchups consistently. As a scorer, Durley is a smooth operator who’s always controls and knows where he wants to go. He plays at his pace and always gets the shot he wants. Durley has exceptional handles and is crafty around the basket with euro’s, off-hand finishes, hop gathers. In addition to his skill, his frame allows him to finish through contact frequently. As a jump shooter, he has solid mechanics, is a knock-down shooter on his mid-range pull-up, and can be a floor spacer as a stationary shooter from deep.

Julian Whitfield 6’3 PG/SG Holt 2023
Whitfield is a rangy/ explosive combo guard who plays with pace and bounce. His elite speed and quickness make him unstoppable transition as a one-man fast break. Whitfield’s long strides eat up space and allow him to put pressure on the rim at a high level. This elite speed and his crafty finishing make him one of the better slashers in the state. Though he’s a score-first guard, Whitfield shows great vision and willingness to get his teammates involved.

KJ KIRK 6’0 PG Chalkville 2024
Kirk is a lockdown defender at the guard position, making life difficult for guards. His persistent pressure, quick feet, solid frame, and quick hands make him an excellent point of attack defender. He also has an uncanny ability to pickpocket ball handlers and open up fast break opportunities for his team. Offensively Kirk is a reliable contributor who shows excellent touch in the midrange and can knock down shots from deep off the catch as a stationary shooter.

Braylon Dame 6’2 SG/SF Lawrence County 2025
Dame is a young prospect that shows potential to develop into a very solid player. His playstyle is well beyond his years and shows he can flourish within a team construct with his skill set. As a shooter, he’s great off the catch and is highly effective from the corner, optimizing space for the offense. Dame also shows some skill when playing off of pump fakes and attacking closeouts. As a passer, he has a nice feel for the game and can make the right read consistently. As Dame grows into his frame and rounds out his game, look for him to be an impact player on a winning team.
