Siegel High School (Murfreesboro, TN)
Bronson Crisp (Oakland)
Casey Williams Casey Williams 6'8" | PF Norcross | 2024 State GA (Oakland)
Fantastic long-term prospect. Casey was a Top 5 player at PrepHoops 250 in September. Springy. Strong. Talented.
Malcolm Ashley Malcolm Ashley 6'5" | SF Oakland | 2025 State TN (Oakland)
Formerly a supportive piece, Malcolm Ashley Malcolm Ashley 6'5" | SF Oakland | 2025 State TN is certain to grow into a large offensive role this year. He provided nice catch-and-shoot play all winter, but he can be a focal point of offense this upcoming year. In Oakland’s final game of 2022-2023 Ashley scored seven consecutive points off of the bench. He was very effective despite battling Da’Ron Hall Da’Ron Hall 6'7" | PF Cane Ridge | 2024 State TN (Cane Ridge).
Garrison Eady Garrison Eady 6'2" | PG Blackman | 2025 State TN (Blackman)
Averaged 7.7 as a sophomore starter for the Blaze. Eady made 24 three-pointers in the 31 games that he played. His field goal percentage fell below 40%, which is a concern. He finished with 37% shooting. That must improve. Eady kept his turnovers quite low (57 overall) for a rate of 1.84 per night.
Maddux Bodenhamer Maddux Bodenhamer 6'1" | PG Antioch | 2024 State TN (Riverdale)
Exceptional leader. Rune the offense. Maddux actually makes in-game decisions like a veteran. Wise.
Dyson Elam Dyson Elam 6'3" | SG Blackman | 2025 State TN (Blackman)
Primed for a huge jump in 2023-2024. Only averaged around five points per, but helped with 3.8 rpg. Defense is already a strength.
Ty Newton Ty Newton 5'9" | PG Rockvale | 2025 State TN (Rockvale)
Averaged 8.1 points per game as a point guard.
EJ Turner (Riverdale)
Turner is poised for a jump. Point guard.
Christian Johnson Christian Johnson 6'6" | PF Blackman | 2025 State TN (Blackman)
Christian started and averaged 8.9 points per thanks to a staggering 58 FG%. Pulled down 4.0 rpg.
Carter Webb Carter Webb 6'3" | PG Siegel | 2025 State TN (Siegel)
Carter Webb Carter Webb 6'3" | PG Siegel | 2025 State TN is a nice college prospect with wonderful size for a point guard. Nice first step quickness.
