Zeke Marshall Zeke Marshall 6'5" | SF Westside | 2025 State SC – Westside HS (Anderson) – Upward Stars Upstate 16U Fagan
Marshall (2025) is playing up an age group with this bunch already. Zeke plays out on the wing and plays extremely aggressive for his age. Marshall has good length and plays very active away from the ball. Zeke does a good job of rebounding the ball from his position. The Rams will look to have a bright future with some young talent on the roster.
Keenan Arcega-Whiteside Keenan Arcega-Whiteside 6'3" | SF Dorman | 2025 State SC – Dorman HS – Upward Stars Upstate 2025
Keenan is just another player waiting his turn for the Cavaliers. It’s shouldn’t take too long for to start contributing at the varsity level. Keenan’s older brother plays in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles and his mother is girls basketball coach at Dorman HS. Keenan was able to drop a few turnaround jumpers today when he wasn’t getting downhill to the basket. He has a GREAT MOTOR on the floor and intensity level.
Next Level Elite 2024 has some talent on its roster this coming spring. This squad had the likes of Jaquarious Patterson Jaquarious Patterson 6'6" | SF T.L. Hanna | 2024 State SC , Cameron O’Kelley Cameron O’Kelley 6'3" | CG Seneca | 2024 State SC , Franklin Davis Franklin Davis 6'3" | SG Landrum | 2024 State SC and Javeyn Martin are just a few on this talented roster that stood out this past weekend. Patterson a long and athletic wing player was most effective around the cup area.
O’Kelley is very beneficial out on the perimeter knocking down shots from behind the arc or using a nice mid-range game. Cam was able to work himself open at times and create separation on the floor from defenders.
Davis plays up at Landrum HS for Head Coach Lyn Smith. Franklin has a quick shot release and good range on his stroke. Davis is always shot ready to receive the ball in the pocket and let it fly.
Martin is a new name for the database here at Prep Hoops. Javeyn keeps the ball on the string and really likes to play on the right side of the floor a lot especially behind the 3-point line.
This Next Level Elite 2024 will be a team to watch this spring and summer here on the circuit making some noise.
