Jedidiah Jarrett Jedidiah Jarrett 6'5" | SF The Webb School | 2025 State TN – Webb School-Bell Buckle – 615 Elite
Jedidiah is an interesting prospect with the enviable height, standing 6-foot-5 or ish with the capability to hit a three-pointer. Facing Stars Basketball Club-North JJ buried a corner 3. Good defender in the lane against guards. Not tough enough to finish after contact in the offensive lane just yet. He will be Top 75 in the next 2025 player ranking update.
Carter Webb Carter Webb 6'3" | PG Siegel | 2025 State TN – Siegel – 615 Elite
Carter Webb Carter Webb 6'3" | PG Siegel | 2025 State TN was much too passive against Stars Basketball Club-North. Considering how dominant he was, at times, for Siegel as a starter, a sophomore starter, it was frustrating to see him just floating and hovering. He owns the size, the skill to be a leader. He makes other players better and he makes the team as a whole better when he is attacking and creating. He created a turnover with his quick reaction on a drive. He reached to help in a driving lane and knocked the basketball free. Carter’s game is disruptive. It can be anyway.
Malachi Gilliam – Siegel – 615 Elite
Carter and Malachi linked up a little, perhaps showing off their familiarity with each other. Gilliam is a senior-to-be, while Carter Webb Carter Webb 6'3" | PG Siegel | 2025 State TN is a junior-to-be. Malachi Gilliam’s on-ball defense was decent. He stopped sharply, started sharply. With his size he had to be in the right spot to provide any deterrence, and mostly he did. Gilliam will be overwhelmed by bigger guards during some games. As good as he plays horizontally he is largely ineffective defending vertically.
