Brunson impressed with his grittiness and ability to knock down shots for EE Smith in their convincing victory over Northwood Temple Academy. He showed he could finish at the rim and operate on the perimeter as a shooter with 11 points to pace the backcourt attack. He’s a prospect that JUCO and DIII programs should get eyes on.
Easterling impressed with his ability to protect the rim, knock down shots off the catch and rebound the ball for Fayetteville Academy. He’s an emerging name to get to know in NC’s 2025 class with his ability to stretch the floor with his shooting and ability to alter shots as he did in their victory over Westover. Add him to your radar!
Herbert was impressive in letting the game come to him in Pine Forest’s victory over Freedom Christian. He finished with 12 points, three assists and four rebounds to show off his ability to operate as a playmaker and scorer with the ball in his hands. He’s a 2025 prospect to keep an eye on in the 910 area.
Claytor stepped up in a big way for NLCA with his shooting prowess. He finished with 21 points and five made 3-pointers to show off his ability to be a spark off the bench and then some with his scoring in a variety of ways. He’s an unsigned senior that’s emerging as a prospect to get to know at the next level.

Henderson hit some big clutch shots for Fayetteville Academy in some key moments. His 11 points and three made 3-pointers came in key moments to lift his offense when needed the most. He’s a sharpshooter in the 2024 class to keep an eye on in the 910 area.
Barnes was impressive in the Terry Sanford backcourt despite the result. He showed he could knock down shots on the perimeter and operate off the bounce with a slew of made buckets and showed he could get his nose dirty on the defensive/rebounding front. He’s a 2024 prospect with promise in the 910 area.
