The event was the 2nd leg on the NCAA Live Period tour this spring for Under Armour after starting last weekend in Phoenix, AZ. Who were some of the Top Performers from the State of Tennessee and Georgia we saw here this weekend?
Big Weekend for Haynes:
Cooper Haynes Cooper Haynes 6'3" | SG Briarcrest Christian | 2024 State TN was GREAT all weekend long with his play for the STARS. Haynes a quick triggered top it off on Saturday night with 47 points while connecting on 7 three-pointers. Cooper played great on Friday in games vs Riverside Hawks and Illinois Wolves. Haynes is so great off the bounce while showing a great basketball feel. Cooper was constantly in the right position all day long to make big plays for his squad.
STARS Unit:
Jett Montgomery Jett Montgomery 6'1" | PG Independence | 2024 State TN and Brady Shoulders Brady Shoulders 6'6" | PF Lyon County | 2024 State KY are two more names on this roster for this Tennessee based squad to watch out for in the 2024 class. Montgomery made tough shot after tough shot all weekend long. Jett has no problems finishing around the buckets when needed. He brings constant energy and grittiness to the floor for the STARS.
Shoulders plays north of the border up in the State of Kentucky at Lyon County HS. Brady has a good-looking frame and really looks to drive it from the wing at times. Shoulders connected on some bombs from behind the three-point line here this weekend.
Georgia on My Mind:
Jayce Nathaniel Jayce Nathaniel 6'7" | SF AZ Compass Prep | 2024 State AZ lives in the Peach State but plays for Team Curry based out of the Charlotte, NC area. Nathaniel attends Lanier HS in Sugar Hill out in Gwinnett County. Nathaniel a left-handed inside-out forward did just that this weekend here at the UAA in Rock Hill, SC.
Nathaniel NEVER takes a play-off while on the floor. He constantly challenges shots on the defensive end of the floor. He runs down rebounds especially well and especially outside of his area. Jayce can and will set-out and knockdown the 3-ball when given the opportunity.
Lamar Moore is suiting up for AC Georgia here in Rock Hill. Moore a small forward plays at Pace Academy. Lamar was able to attack and stalk the baseline at times today. He has nice length to score and finish around the rim.
Devin Brafford Devin Brafford 7'0" Phhoenix Prep | 2024 State AZ attends Rabun Gap up in the Northeast Corner of the state near the North Carolina border. Brafford a slender-sleek forward is running with B.Maze Elite. Brafford has a unique skill set for his size and can step-out and knockdown some jumpers along the way. His brother Nate attends Georgia Soutern University.
