Continue ReadingTo keep it real, Max Mcneill Max Mcneill 6’2″ | PG Pebblebrook | 2025 State GA is a 30-piece waiting to happen. He’s one of the best volume scorers in the state and can get it done in a multitude of ways. He’s already got a great feel for the game and how to get to his spots. McNeill isn’t afraid to hit the boards either and has had several 10+ rebound games. Just a sophomore, McNeill has already stepped into a leadership role at Cumberland Christian and has been their heartbeat so far this season. He’ll certainly be one to track in coming years and should be considered one of the top guards in his class.

As do a lot of GAPPS players, Jakaden Barkley Jakaden Barkley 6’2″ | PG Excel Christian Academy | 2023 GA has flown under the radar for much of his high school career but can now be considered one of the hidden gems still on the board. Barkley’s been putting together a killer senior campaign at Excel Christian, averaging around 17 PPG, 7 RPG, & 6 APG according to his former AAU program, SGS Elite. Barkley is a skilled point guard that can score it at a high level. She shoots the 3 really well off the bounce and is a tough finisher at the rim too. His production as a passer and rebounder this year also make him a much more attractive recruit in my opinion.

I first caught Isaac Bealer Isaac Bealer 6’0″ | PG Mt. Pisgah | 2024 State GA at our showcase in the Fall and have been following him through his junior year, a great one for Bealer both on the basketball court and the football field. His grit and toughness carries over from the field and takes his impact on the court to another level. Bealer is capable of playing either guard spot and shoots it really well, both off the catch and the dribble. He’s got tremendous range on his outside shot and won’t hesitate to let it fly from 25-30 feet. Bealer is one of many interesting pickups for 2nd-year program, Hoop Atlanta, who is quickly ascending the Atlanta grassroots scene.

Shane Harvey

Shane Harvey is another guy that’s rarely mentioned but deserving of more attention. Harvey is putting together quite a year at Trinity Prep and the pairing of him and Preston Tuggle make for a solid 1-2 punch. He’s got ideal size and athleticism for a guard, offensive skillset is really beginning to take shape as well. He’s gone for 25+ points on multiple occasions this year and has taken a huge step forward, not only in his skill level but confidence and swagger too. Hopefully, Harvey will land in the right spot this spring and be able to gain some more exposure heading into his senior year.

Cedric Taylor Cedric Taylor 6’6″ | SF Drew Charter | 2023 State GA has generated a lot of chatter in recent weeks, much of which started after a big performance at Double Trouble’s MLK Peach Ball Classic. Taylor’s size and length give him an advantage against most and he’s pretty coordinated with the ball in his hands. He’s shown to be effective as a roll man and likes to dunk most everything around the rim. In a 2025 class that’s light on bigs in Georgia, Cedric Taylor Cedric Taylor 6’6″ | SF Drew Charter | 2023 State GA could be one of the best when it’s all said and done. He has the potential to be a stock riser this spring with first-year Puma program Team Scoot.
