Enjoy a sprinkling of early AAU season evaluations.
Nate Thompson Nate Thompson 6'3" | SG South-Doyle | 2025 State TN (Pro One TN 16u-Jarnigan)
Nate Thompson Nate Thompson 6'3" | SG South-Doyle | 2025 State TN is a bucket around the rim. Long-term he needs to expand his game a bit, but there is a willingness to use his body to fend off would-be blockers. Thompson uses his shoulders well. Though he plays a lot under the basket, Thompson is not plodding or slow really. This suggests he may have a future on the wing in college. Does not currently play above the rim.
Preston Mayberry (Pro One TN 17u-Garner)
With Pro One, Preston is primarily a catch-and-shoot guy. His shooting form is good. The team is loaded with guards though and Ty Pryor Ty Pryor 6'2" | PG Rockwood | 2024 State TN and Jason Britton Jason Britton 6'1" | PG North Greene | 2024 State TN handle the ball more often than Mayberry. The summer will be a showcase of his outside shooting and hopefully include some time banking free throw makes.
Joshua Whitt Joshua Whitt 5'10" | PG Lancaster Christian Academy | 2026 State TN (Brigade Basketball Club 15u)
Whitt racked up 11.25 points per game with six rebounds per during Brigade’s 4-0 GRIT Region Kickoff. Whitt is a heady point guard with poise.
Peyton Applegate (Brigade Basketball Club 15u)
Peyton Applegate managed 8.5 rebounds per game the opening April weekend.
Ashton Munson (Hawks Elite 17u)
Ashton plays like the veteran that he is. Munson earned a PrepHoopsTN Combine All-Star appearance two years back when he was the youngest in the building. Munson started as a freshman for East Hamilton. He got off of the ground with nice elevation. Munson is crafty. A shot-maker. Kind of a DJ Augustin (former NBA). He contorts himself in the air to avoid the defender.
Yeshiyah Cobb Yeshiyah Cobb 6'2" | SG Oakland | 2026 State TN (Brigade Basketball Club 15u)
Good quickness. Cobb scored 9.8 points per game during Brigade’s 4-0 GRIT Region Kickoff.
