Hibbert's leadership has been apparent through the summer and fall leagues. He's a fearless scorer and has proved capable of hitting the big shot when his team needs him to. Hibbert's numbers should see a big jump this year and he could attract a lot of smaller schools.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1444755"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1444755' first='Jay' last='Boyd']'s stock has been rising throughout the past couple months and I don't expect it to stop anytime soon. The 2-guard out of Hiram can score from all over the floor and has a consistent pull-up jumper. This summer, Boyd's athleticism opened a lot eyes as he began playing above the rim a lot more, frequently throwing down dunks in traffic or pinning layups against the glass. Boyd committed to Lincoln Memorial last week.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1559461"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1559461' first='Marcus' last='Gillespie'] is an athletic guard out of Athens that I would consider one of the top sleepers in 2025. Gillespie's combination of size and athleticism give him tremendous upside as a guard prospect and allow him to finish well and contest a lot of layups at the rim. Gillespie also shoots it well from 3 and continues to develop into more of a complete scorer. Clarke Central will likely count on the sophomore guard to play a major role this year.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1654188' first='Yusef' last='Bowyer']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"[player_tooltip player_id='2297280' first='Maynard' last='Jackson']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2076854' first='GA' last='Canes']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1654188' first='Yusef' last='Bowyer'] will be one of the best shooters in the state this year, regardless of class. He can heat up in an instant and shows no hesitation to shoot it when given a foot of space. What Boywer may lack in size, he makes up for with his speed and quickness. He's able to force turnovers and get his fingers on a lot of passes. While Bowyer will be playing with multiple adept scorers at [player_tooltip player_id='2297280' first='Maynard' last='Jackson'], they should create a lot of open looks for Bowyer.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1654189' first='Edwin' last='Favour']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'8u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77243","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Eagles Landing","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1654189' first='Edwin' last='Favour'] transfers to Eagles Landing from Greenforest where he was apart of a talented but crowded frontcourt. Now, Favour will see a lot more minutes and touches this year and will have the opportunity to show how dominant he can be inside. Favour stands at 6'8 and has a rock-solid frame that allows him to solidify position around the basket. As his post game continues to develop, [player_tooltip player_id='1654189' first='Edwin' last='Favour'] could become one of the more fascinating 2024 bigs in Georgia.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-657a2dc1ae39f"} /-->
