James Scott James Scott 6’9″ | PF EE Smith | 2023 State NC finds himself just outside the Top 10 at No. 12 following quite the productive year in the EE Smith frontcourt. He’s a big man at 6-foot-8 that’s found his way around the rim with 22.5 ppg, 12.9 rpg and 2.6 bpg as the Golden Bulls made it down to the Region Finals before falling to Northwood High. He’s set to make his presence felt in years to come for the College of Charleston frontcourt in the near future.
Max Frazier Max Frazier 6’8″ | C Northwood | 2023 State NC is another big man in the 2023 class that will see his stock rise in the final rankings update as he moves from No. 74 to No. 36 after his constructive senior campaign around the rim on both ends for Northwood High as they made it all the way to the NCHSAA 3A State Finals. He’s developed into quite the presence around the rim after averaging 8.3 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 3.0 rpg and 0.9 bpg in 2022-23. He’s a name that DI and DII programs should get to know by the end of spring/summer.
Highlights
Jordan Pyke Jordan Pyke 6’7″ | PF Shining Light Academy | 2023 State NC is a versatile forward that plays with quite the energy at 6-foot-7. Pyke put up 20.1 ppg, 12.1 rpg, 4.3 apg, 2.7 bpg and 2.1 spg with Shining Light Academy en route to winning this year’s CSAA Division 1 State Championship. Pyke finished with averages of 23.0 ppg, 20.5 rpg and 5.5 apg in the state tournament. He’s a prospect for DI and DII programs to get eyes on by the end of spring/summer.
Lance Gill Lance Gill 6’3″ | CG United Faith Christian Academy | 2023 State NC is a 6-foot-3 prospect that proved his worth at United Faith Christian Academy in 2022-23 as he moves into the Top 100 to No. 51 in the final 2023 rankings update. He’s a wing prospect that emerged as a 3-point shooting threat (41 % from 3 in 2022-23) and shot 55 percent from the field. Gill finished second in scoring with UFCA (10.9 ppg) while also posting 4.1 rpg, 2.7 apg and 1.9 spg as the Falcons made it to the third round of the NCISAA 1A State Championship before falling to Northside Christian Academy.
Cam Oates Cam Oates 5’10” | PG New Life Christian | 2023 State NC burst back onto the scene with New Life Christian Academy and never missed a beat in his outings with PrepHoops NC on the scene. He’s a floor general that can guard 94 feet defensively as well when pushed. DII schools in the region would be wise to get eyes on him this spring/summer as an unsigned senior prospect. He plays with a ton of energy in the backcourt on both ends.
