Upward Stars SE 3SSB 3SSB 2026:
Jake Thomas Jake Thomas 6'6" | PF Oceanside Collegiate | 2026 State SC – Oceanside Collegiate (Mount Pleasant)
Thomas will look to step into the lineup next season at Oceanside Collegiate. Very effective around the cup area.
Malik Tinsley Malik Tinsley 5'9" | PG Lancaster | 2026 State SC – Lancaster HS
Tinsley really does a good job of directing traffic and finding the open man from out top. Malik plays the game with a very good pace and rarely turns the ball over.
Broderick Anderson Broderick Anderson 6'5" | SF Keenan | 2026 State SC – Keenan HS
Anderson is a versatile forward who can really look to rebound on both ends of the floor. Broderick plays active and really understands on how to defend.
Braysen Stockman Braysen Stockman 6'0" | PG Ben Lippen | 2026 State SC – Ben Lippen (Columbia)
Plays the game with some shake-bake mentality at times and can really get the ball to the cup. Very capable shooter from the perimeter to make shots.
Ja’Quell Brown Ja’Quell Brown 5'11" | CG Goose Creek | 2026 State SC – Goose Creek HS
Brown saw good minutes this season on a Gators squad that made it to the Class 5A State Championship Game.
BJ Brown BJ Brown 6'3" | SG Sumter | 2026 State SC – Sumter HS
Brown a left-handed guard-wing can really score the ball with some effectiveness. BJ plays for his father on the roster with the Gamecocks.
Lucas Wiersma Lucas Wiersma 6'7" | PF T.L. Hanna | 2026 State SC – T.L. Hanna HS (Anderson)
Wiersma can stretch the floor with his ability to make shots from the perimeter. He tends to have good shot selection and mechanics.
Caden Coleman Caden Coleman 6'3" | PG Hillcrest | 2026 State SC – Hillcrest HS (Simpsonville)
Coleman has some swag to his game and really looks to take care of the ball. He can touch the paint or find the open man on a penetrate-kick.
Josh Leonard Josh Leonard 6'6" | CG Wilson | 2027 State SC – Wilson HS (Florence)
Leonard is just a 8th grader and saw plenty of playing time for the Tigers this past season. Josh plays well beyond his years and looks to be the top guy in this class already here in the Palmetto State.
Will Bush Will Bush 6'8" | PF Dorman | 2026 State SC – Dorman HS (Roebuck)
Bush looks to be the next big man from the Cavaliers program to take notice of in the near future. Will has a soft touch and nice game around the basket.
