<p>Stunningly underrecruited scoring guard. Is he a point guard in college? Maybe not. Certainly [player_tooltip player_id='1043216' first='Jordan' last='Frison'] is a scorer at the next level. He is jet-quick with great offensive instincts and nice enough bounce though will certainly stand a little shorter than his opponents in college. [player_tooltip player_id='1043216' first='Jordan' last='Frison'] projects as a low-major D1 guard. Apparently, there are two factors working against him with regards to his current recruitments: size, transfer portal. College recruiters are leagues less aggressive pursuing high school seniors than even three years ago thanks to the rule change. Jordan is hardly the only person affected, but he is one of the beleaguered parties. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1309474' first='Hudson' last='Gill'] once again displayed a D3-floor in Hendersonville's win Tuesday. Acrobatic and fluid mid-flight.</p>

<p><strong>J.J. Faulkner</strong> (Karns) earned his first offer as January concluded when Tusculum made the proposed investment. Faulkner dribbles with an elegance and plus speed. Nobody in Tennessee is faster incorporating his behind-the-back dribble. In the Beavers' win over Oak Ridge Faulkner detached from a couple defenders with that special move.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1277265' first='Reed' last='Ownby']</strong> (Sevier County) showed a D2 floor way back in July 2022 with BMaze 15u. Crafted mid-range baskets with the dribble.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1659744' first='Grady' last='Robertson']</strong> plays like D2 guard. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>T.J. Kolbe</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1260610' first='Ty' last='Lannom']</strong> are likely college hoopers next year. Kolbe seems like a D3 guy while Lannom appears destined for NAIA.</p>
