(Independence) was long known to be a dominator within the PrepHoopsTN office, also known as the brains of Courtney Asher Smith and Andrew Force, but his stock with both recruiters and the entire Tennessee basketball community soared with his State Tournament play. Tylan’s poise with the basketball rivals most senior stars. His strength on the ball prevents older players, even bigger players, from trying to pounce on him like hungry lions. Lewis is a Top 20 sophomore for these reasons. His AAU summer will surprise more observers from both near and far.
Brandon Winton (Alcoa) left Tennessee for Florida and football. Now that he is back he deserves to resume his basketball reputation, formerly a Top 15 player in Class of 2025, way back during his 15u AAU summer. Winton is tough, dastardly-strong. He gets up off of the floor more than an onlooker would expect for a hulking young man his size. The handle is also impressive considering how muscle-bound the dude is. Winton was a critical Robin to

‘s Batman throughout March. As incredible as Jahvin’s season was, he could not have accomplished so much without another scorer on the floor with him. Winton is that man.

(Overton) continues to be woefully undervalued by college recruiters. Likely because he is a shorter point guard. Tough to argue that he is a big guy. By basketball standards Jordan is short, and also thin. What escapes recruiters, apparently, are his guts and skill. He constantly scores in the 25-35 point range, much like

(Alcoa). Many of Jordan’s points are scored against players taller, bigger. Frison looks the part of a college combo guard. Usually a derisive term with the implication that the player can NOT play point guard, Jordan only fits because he can do both very well. It would be a sin for him not to shoot, so he could be labeled a shooting guard, but playing shooting guard is not really a reflection of Frison’s strengths or future. Frison is a willing and wonderful passer, as evidenced by both his State Tournament run and his entire career. He gets to those dangerous spots and can finish or pass from there. He is a great penetrator, but he is not only taking those drives to the rim. Frison is also driving and distributing from those spots.
Fredrick Moore (Humboldt) is a high-flying forward with some nice passing creativity. Facing Hampton, Moore was a beast on the low blocks, but he also played with goliath Stephon Shivers Stephon Shivers 6'5" | C Humboldt (football) | 2025 TN quite well. Moore does not project as a wing, so his college options are likely to be limited to places a 6-foot-4 rebounder can survive. Still, his value to the Vikings and the state of basketball are noteworthy.
Michael Anspaugh (Hampton) competed with really smart drives and creations. The junior point guard put his Bulldogs in the position to succeed, and they did. A throwback point guard with both a primary and secondary focus on passing, Anspaugh is a nice complimentary piece to scorer Crews Butler Crews Butler 6'3" | SG Arlington | 2023 State TN .
