(Dickson County)
Zander plays AAU with TN Fever. He is a little shorter than ideal for a college 2-guard, though that is his most natural position at the high school level. Facing Stars North 17u at the Music City Madness event in early April,

demonstrated a wonderfully quick shot release. He was able to create his own, to find a shooting window despite decent team defense against him and his mates.

(Northwest)
Monday will be a three-year starter for the Vikings of Northwest. Very, very quick with the basketball. Tacarey was turnover-prone in his younger days, but that should be behind him now.
Elijah Fernandez (Dickson County)
Elijah is a very athletic player. Leaps off of the court very well. Fernandez plays a power guard kind of for TN Fever while also running the ball as a running back for DCHS. He might thrive as a safety long-term too. On the basketball court, Fernandez is built like

was during his freshman season. Powerful, short, stout. Athletic. Ty was much more skilled at the game of basketball when he was a freshman. Fernandez is more raw, but a better rebounder than Glasper was at this stage.
Keshawn Pappillion

(Kenwood)
KP averaged just under 18 ppg last winter in his breakout junior season. Coach Chase Cronin raves about the upside of Pappillion. He sees him as a future D1 guard, and a former college coach advising him concurred. ‘He is a D1 player, if he wants to be’, said a former college coach upon seeing him play. Pappillion’s athleticism is unmatched in Clarksville. Were he in a bigger city the buzz would be alarming. PrephoopsTN is rightfully very high on him. Needs to limit his turnovers though (4.4 TOpg).
