<!-- wp:heading --> <h2>A new season of high school basketball slowly approaches. Take a look at some of the top names still available in the 2023 class.</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='577843' first='Comeh' last='Emuobor'] - Team CP3</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Emuobor continues to emerge as a top name to know in NC's 2023 class after a productive grassroots season with Team CP3. He's a versatile wing that plays with a ton of patience offensively and defends at a high level. Kansas State, Arizona State, Mississippi State and Alabama are a few of the latest schools to offer him. When the season begins this fall, he'll be a name to keep an eye on with national power Brewster Academy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/comeh_emuobor/status/1544016477279379456?s=20u0026t=kxg27YAaOdLUV4Qk3H6xOQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/comeh_emuobor/status/1544016477279379456?s=20u0026t=kxg27YAaOdLUV4Qk3H6xOQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1220895' first='Derin' last='Saran'] - Team 1 of 1</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saran continues to be a budding name in the 2023 class after showing what he can do this past summer with Team 1 of 1. He's a high-IQ prospect with a ton of skill as a playmaker and finisher around the paint with a ton of fundamentals. He's arguably the best true floor general left in the 2023 class and will be one to keep an eye on over at Asheville School after earning offers from Denver, Winthrop, UNC-Wilmington, Binghamton, Radford and Stony Brook.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/Ss07GUNTfRI","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/Ss07GUNTfRI </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='997734' first='Elijah' last='Strong'] - Team Curry</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Strong is a versatile forward that shined with Team Curry and is set for a big year at Myers Park High in his senior season. He knows how to use his size to create opportunities in the paint and does a tremendous job of spacing the floor with his passing and shooting ability. He's got confirmed official visits with Wofford, Florida Atlantic and App State coming up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ElijahStrong35_/status/1506285183422578691?s=20u0026t=NRoWhvf3dQbUQsEXuIC6MA","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ElijahStrong35_/status/1506285183422578691?s=20u0026t=NRoWhvf3dQbUQsEXuIC6MA </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='949393' first='Will' last='Gray'] - [program_tooltip program_id='2078500' first='Garner' last='Road'] 3SSB</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gray is quite the combo guard that shined in the [program_tooltip program_id='2078500' first='Garner' last='Road'] rotation on the 3SSB stage this past grassroots season. He's a strong-framed lead guard with a knack for making things happen on both ends of the floor. He's got a bright future ahead of him given his ability to operate off the bounce and defend the basketball. He holds offers from USC Upstate, Metro State, UNC-Pembroke and Mount Olive with more sure to come as more colleges get eyes on him at East Forsyth.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='854913' first='Jakel' last='Powell'] - No Guts No Glory</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Powell is a name gaining traction in the state after a productive grassroots campaign with No Guts No Glory. He showed off his ability to knock down shots on the perimeter and knock down shots off the bounce and as he improves his strength and guard play, look for his stock to continue to grow. He holds offers from UNC-Asheville, UNC-Greensboro, and High Point among others. He'll be a name to keep an eye on in 2022-23 at Raleigh Christian Academy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jakelpowell11/status/1539250041570967554?s=20u0026t=uiyGTVfMOfEtdRdMu5LPew","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jakelpowell11/status/1539250041570967554?s=20&amp;t=uiyGTVfMOfEtdRdMu5LPew </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
