No. 88 Kenan Parrish Kenan Parrish 6'9" | C Northwood | 2023 State NC – 6’9 Center – Northwood High
Parrish is another late-blooming prospect set to do some damage in the Northwood High frontcourt in 2022-23. He’s seen his stock rise over the past few months, moving into the 87th spot in the 2023 rankings. He’s a prospect that can protect the rim, rebound and find his way down low in the paint area. He posted 8.7 ppg, 5.0 rpg and 0.8 bpg as a junior in 2021-22 with the Chargers.
No. 89 Saransh Padhy Saransh Padhy 6'8" | C Cape Fear Academy | 2023 State NC – 6’8 Center – Cape Fear Academy
Padhy is yet another late-bloomer in the 2023 rankings at Cape Fear Academy to keep an eye on this season, checking in at No. 89 in the latest update. He runs the floor well and has shown solid mobility to defend multiple spots on the floor with his size and length. He’s got good hands in the post and is constantly available for driving guards in the paint. He’ll be a breakout name to watch.
No. 94 Amari Richardson Amari Richardson 5'11" | CG Panther Creek | 2023 State NC – 5’11 Guard – Panther Creek High
Richardson is a two-way presence for Panther Creek High that should have strong senior campaign this year. He’s an active defender that’s constantly pressuring the ball and looking to wreak havoc as a defender. Offensively, he’s fearless about getting to the paint and finishing and can knock down shots on the perimeter. He’ll be a face in the backcourt for the Catamounts in 2022-23.
No. 94 Cole Murray Cole Murray 6'2" | CG South Garner | 2023 State NC – 6’2 Guard – Souther Garner High
Murray is a combo guard that’s just scratching the surface of what he can do at the guard spot over at South Garner High. He’s got a strong frame already that he uses well to defend the ball and maneuver to the paint for buckets. As he improves his finishing ability and shows he can knock down shots consistently, look for his name to grow in the class in 2022-23.
No. 103 Quincey Miller Quincey Miller 6'0" | CG Home School/ Central Carolina Prep | 2023 State NC – 6’0 Guard – Central Carolina Prep
Miller finds himself just outside the top 100 in the state, checking in at No. 103. He’s seen his stock rise following an improved summer after putting up 4.9 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 1.3 apg and 1.2 spg as a junior at Central Carolina Prep in the Greensboro area. He’s due for a breakout type of season to close things out in his prep career.
