Brock has been here all through high school and led the Cavaliers to a SCISA Class 2A State Championship last season. Ray has lost 25 pounds he told Prep Hoops and rightly so you can see it in his play around the bucket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brock has legit size and soft hands down in the paint. He plays with his back to the basket and at times I would like to see him demand the ball more down inside the paint. Ray didn't play Grassroots ball this past spring he told Prep Hoops. This kid will be a piece for a college program down the road with his legit size and movement on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1982201,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/0F10B9C6-8980-472B-B09A-456F7B0A90F0.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/0F10B9C6-8980-472B-B09A-456F7B0A90F0.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982201" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1731364' first='Michael' last='Vince'] </strong>- Pinewood Prep (Summerville) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vince is a SHOOTER and every college program can use that on their roster. Michael does a good job of receiving the ball in the pocket and letting it fly with a quick trigger from downtown. He understands on how to get open and get space on his shot. He runs with the Charleston Raptors on the Grassroots Circuit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1982745,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/AD2854E0-5D62-4053-82C3-232F4B662B04.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/AD2854E0-5D62-4053-82C3-232F4B662B04.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982745" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1687283' first='Noah' last='Tanner']</strong> - Laurence Manning Academy (Manning) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tanner will be counted on heavily this season for the Swamp Cats to step up his game. Noah is more of a spot-up shooter out on the wing. He likes to setup camp in the corners and look to knockdown the 3-ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1982200,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/3FCE7871-A2BF-4BF4-8744-41923B0FB74E.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/3FCE7871-A2BF-4BF4-8744-41923B0FB74E.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982200" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1981689' first='Connor' last='Hayes'] </strong>- Calhoun Academy (St Matthews) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hayes came out on fire with his shot today in game vs Faith Christian. Connor is a great athlete and excels on the football field as a quarterback and on the baseball diamond. Hayes showed a very accurate stroke today while shooting the ball very productively. He didn't look to force anything while on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Class of 2025 </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1982066' first='AJ' last='Gresham'] </strong>- Cathedral Academy (North Charleston) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gresham was my MVP for his work today on the floor for the Generals. He was great in all 3 games we watched him play today. AJ scored the ball from all 3-levels on the floor today. He attacked the rack at will and scored through contact on the way to the bucket several times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>AJ showed good body control when making moves to the basket. He was able to hit some perimeter jumpers for his squad. Gresham constantly played with a HIGH MOTOR all game long and never took a play-off it seemed. He logged a lot of minutes and enjoyed playing it looked like. Besides scoring the scoring ball he showed some crafty passing skills and better yet was in constant communication with his teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1984065,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/6AEE0E59-D4BF-4B7B-B39E-A709A8972191.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/6AEE0E59-D4BF-4B7B-B39E-A709A8972191.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1984065" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hunter Thornburg</strong> - Calhoun Academy (St Matthews) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thornburg is an undersized post player for the Cavaliers.
