#51 Mays McCoy Mays McCoy 6'4" | SF Fairview | 2024 State TN 6’4″ SF Fairview

Missed the end of his junior season with injury. Mays is a coach’s kid. Physically strong. Mays is a question mark since he is A) coming off an injury and B) a guy I have not evaluated for months. Ideally he heals fully and regains all mobility. Mays played early and often for Fairview. He was and is a fantastic rebounder.

#52 Drew Brillhart Drew Brillhart 6'5" | SF Bearden | 2024 State TN 6’5″ SF Bearden Pro One TN-Brewster

Shooter. Defender. High energy. Unselfish.. quick release lefty.

Thank you to @ProOneSelect_TN and all my teammates on a fun and exciting aau season. Can’t wait to get back and play for @BeardenHoops this winter. pic.twitter.com/2QljwL3LuG

#53 Calvin Caleb Smith Calvin Caleb Smith 6'4" | SF CSAS | 2024 State TN 6’4″ SF CSAS

C.C. Smith is a bull of a guard. He earned PrepHoopsTN Combine All-Star in October 2022. Not a strong outside shooter. He is kind of a Ron Artest-type because he is stronger than most with an enticing offensive versatility.

#54 Xialin Lenoir Xialin Lenoir 5'11" | PG Lavergne | 2024 State TN 5’11” PG Lavergne

Xialin was a wonderful player way back in September 2022 to earn his first ranking. Crafty. Innovative. Persistent. Within the confines of his high school season he was more passive. What can he be after high school? Probably a career NAIA guard. Lenoir is kind of a combo guard in his soul.

#55 Eric Jones Eric Jones 5'11" | CG Fayette Ware | 2024 State TN 6’0″ CG Fayette Ware

Jones is probably Fayette-Ware’s best overall player. He is not Top 35 right now because he is not exactly a point guard. Jones is more of a feisty shot creator. The whole team plays fast and he does too. During BCAT Team Camp to end June, Jones dominated in the Ravenwood auxiliary gym with a tough, constant attack.
