He finished the year off in double-double fashion, recording 23 points and 10 rebounds in the NCISAA 3A State Final against Greensboro Day School, though it came in a 58-56 defeat.

He's a budding guard for DII and DIII schools to get eyes on out of the Goldsboro area.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1158778"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1158778' first='Collin' last='Kuhl'] finds himself solidly within the Top 65 prospects in the state after a strong season with the Holly Springs Golden Hawks as they made it to this year's 4A Region Finals. He was quite the presence around the rim and painted area this season as the Golden Hawks went 26-6 and 13-1 in the Southwest Wake Athletic Conference in 2022-23.
