<p>Prep Hoops took in the final day of action from SCISA Live 2022 event at Cardinal Newman yesterday. Let’s take a look at some members of the 2023 Palmetto State Class right here. #RecruitThePalmettoState</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1354735" first="Brendon" last="Brantley"] - Andrew Jackson Academy (Ehrhardt) </strong></p>
<p>Brantley is a new face for the Warriors this season. Brendon made the move over from Wade Hampton HS (Hampton). Brantley a long and rangy guard-wing really likes to play out on the perimeter. Brendon must get stronger in the weight room and tighten up his handle down the road. </p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/17AB2FBA-1BD2-4D9D-AA93-25F87A6F097B.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1490212" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/17AB2FBA-1BD2-4D9D-AA93-25F87A6F097B-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1490167" first="Robert" last="Clark"] - Andrew Jackson Academy (Ehrhardt) </strong></p>
<p>Clark a stocky point guard made the move over from nearby Wade Hampton HS. Robert is a deceptive athlete who can fight off contact to the cup. Clark had no problems jumping on the floor for 50/50 balls. </p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/6D28F75C-3F90-4FF6-8D04-1BB9E63E40D8.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1490200" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/6D28F75C-3F90-4FF6-8D04-1BB9E63E40D8-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="865320" first="David" last="Johnson"] - Andrew Jackson Academy (Ehrhardt)</strong></p>
<p>Johnson has really slimmed out his frame and grown a few inches. David was automatic it seemed today from mid-range with his stroke. Johnson really took high percentage shots and converted on most of them for the Warriors. He felt really comfortable playing off the ball at the shooting guard position. </p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/D5AF88B2-DB5B-4D6A-8B05-20570DB960BF.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1490206" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/D5AF88B2-DB5B-4D6A-8B05-20570DB960BF-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="865343" first="Keshaun" last="Wright"] - Christian Academy of Myrtle Beach </strong></p>
<p>Wright is back for another year with the Saints. Keshaun will one of the senior leaders on this roster this season. He does his best work driving to the cup and slashing. Wright generally picks up his scoring chances on rebounds and second chance points through effort. Wright has good length and long wingspan to get disruptive in the passing lanes. </p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/8954B786-CC7A-479B-85EB-8976AB862952.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1490202" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/8954B786-CC7A-479B-85EB-8976AB862952-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1108826" first="Greyson" last="Singletary"] - Dillon Christian </strong></p>
<p>Greyson has a quick trigger from behind the arc for the Warriors. Singletary piled up some numbers along with three pointers last season for the SCISA Class 2A program. Greyson does a good job of finding his spots on the floor and getting good looks with separation. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1340380" first="Amari" last="Evans"] - Hammond </strong></p>
<p>Evans a left-handed guard will be relied on quite heavily this coming season for the Skyhawks. Amari has the ability to create his own scoring chances whenever needed on the floor. He really likes to drive it to the cup and drop off a bounce pass to an open teammate. </p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/C9DE29AF-F261-4BBA-8D56-12D9BD64A0F0.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1490201" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/C9DE29AF-F261-4BBA-8D56-12D9BD64A0F0-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1063832" first="Jordan" last="Frazer"] - Cardinal Newman </strong></p>
<p>Jordan really does a good job of using ball screens to get to the basket at times. Frazer can score the rock from all 3 levels on the floor. He was able to finish drives to the cup with either hand or through contact. Jordan was able to capitalize on some open jumpers he was able to knockdown today. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1490166" first="Chris" last="Agbomi"] - Shannon Forest (Greenville) (pictured on front)</strong></p>
<p>Agbomi was a pleasant surprise today with his play. Chris came up big with some clutch free throws with 7.8 seconds left to secure the win vs Andrew Jackson Academy. Agbomi never took a play-off while on the floor and always swarmed the ball on the defensive end. He was able to finish at the rack on some layups and showed to be very productive on the floor at all times. </p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/B815748A-196E-4C0A-9DE0-EC2825B6A673.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1490205" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/B815748A-196E-4C0A-9DE0-EC2825B6A673-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1226086" first="Brandon" last="Wilkins"] - Shannon Forest (Greenville) </strong></p>
<p>Wilkins ran the point guard position for the Crusaders today. Brandon plays at a good pace and really got the team into the offense for a chance to execute. Wilkins does a good job of rebounding the ball from his guard position. </p>
<p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/7F44A3DD-BF9C-4C78-A88E-79FB4CA813A1.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1490210" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/7F44A3DD-BF9C-4C78-A88E-79FB4CA813A1-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1439787" first="Nolan" last="Paladugu"] - Shannon Forest (Greenville) </strong></p>
<p>One word to describe Nolan - TOUGH. Paladugu is extremely vocal and always looking to communicate with his teammates on the floor. Nolan is a pass first guard who really uses the ball screen well to get to the cup. Paladugu is a left-handed guard-wing who will make a great pass, take a charge, dive on the floor or just hit an open jumper.</p>
<p>Agbomi, Wilkins and Paladugu will look to provide some good leadership for the Crusaders heading into next season. </p>
