The senior forward Luke Scott is due for a breakout season. Daniel Boone is a team without their top scorer after Creed Musick Creed Musick 6'3" | SG Tennessee | 2023 State TN transferred to Tennessee High. Scott is the kind of soft-touch forward ready to take a leap in 2022-2023. Scott will be a technical, efficient scorer both on the blocks and at the free throw line.
Easton Yates Easton Yates 6'3" | SF Milan | 2023 State TN | 6’3″ | Milan ’23
So tough. Easton is a bull at 6-foot-3. Sure, he is not your ideal height for big man, but his program is not complaining. The postseason success enjoyed by Milan last spring came on the back of Yates’ rebounding and energy in the paint.
Richard Bell Jr Richard Bell Jr 6'4" | PF Northview Academy | 2024 State TN . | 6’4″ | Northview Academy ’24
Think Grant Williams. Richard Bell Jr Richard Bell Jr 6'4" | PF Northview Academy | 2024 State TN . is a surprisingly skilled forward that will absolutely mature into a college football player someday. For now, we get to enjoy his unique blend of power and finesse at the high school level.
Raymond McCarty Raymond McCarty 6'3" | SF McMinn Central (football) | 2025 State TN | 6’3″ | McMinn Central ’25
Nice athleticism. McCarty is raw, probably because he splits his training time between football and basketball. McMinn Central needed him last season. He was just a naturally impactful player thanks to his height and athleticism. Again, do not expect a refined game from McCarty, but he is an impact player for a weaker program.
Lucas Garman Lucas Garman 6'6" | PF Maryville | 2024 State TN | 6’6″ | Maryville ‘24
Previously unknown to @PrepHoopsTN, Lucas earned 2022 PrepHoopsTN Summer Combine All-Star. Read his evaluation from that June event.
