Tyler Barnes Tyler Barnes 6'3" | CG Greenfield | 2024 State NC – Rocky Mount High
Barnes is a prospect currently on the watch list due for a boost this fall when new rankings update in the 2024 class. He’s bounced back quite nicely from a knee injury to show he’s still got his explosiveness and ability to defend the ball. He’s a shifty guard that should fare well alongside Jamal Townsend Jamal Townsend 6'0" | CG Northern Nash | 2023 State NC at Rocky Mount High.
Javon Williams Javon Williams 6'4" | CG Washington | 2025 State NC – Washington High
Williams is a guard that’s grown to 6-foot-4 and plays with a ton of energy on both ends of the floor for Washington High. After making his debut on varsity in 2021-22, he should make even more waves with his ability to take over games and impact the game in a variety of ways.
Jai Williams Jai Williams 6'3" | SG Wayne Country Day | 2024 State NC – Wayne Country Day School
Williams has had quite the productive summer in showing off his ability to be a relentless attacker with the ball in his hands. He makes difficult shots look easy when scoring in traffic and uses his athleticism to make things happen around the ball.
Alex Moye Alex Moye 6'3" | SF Farmville Central | 2024 State NC – Farmville Central High
Moye is a presence at 6-foot-4 that plays with a ton of energy as an attacker and rebounder at Farmville Central High. As a sophomore, he put up solid numbers as a scorer, finisher and clean up guy on the boards. He should be a key piece in their rotation with his ability to defend the ball and get to the paint off the bounce.
Tyler Whitehurst Tyler Whitehurst 6'1" | CG Farmville Central | 2024 State NC – Riverside-Martin High
Whitehurst is coming off quite a productive sophomore season that saw him put up 17.8 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 2.3 apg and 1.1 spg across their 18 games in 2021-22. He showed off his ability to operate in the backcourt while shooting 45 percent from 3-point land as well. He’s a menacing guard presence that should fare well at Riverside-Martin in his junior season.
