Godley was arguably the best prospect in the Team 7 fold who took over in spurts with his ability to attack the rim and operate off the bounce. He was a terror to defend against given his confidence at the lead guard spot and ability to finish with authority as he did on numerous occasions throughout the day. He was coachable throughout the day as he showed off his length and ability to rebound in bunches in the painted area as well. He’s a name in the 252 area at South Central High that DI and DII programs should get eyes on this upcoming season.
Jones was another standout in the Team 7 rotation given his confidence and ability to score the ball in a variety of ways. He worked well off of Godley to find his spots to penetrate and create opportunities for himself on the perimeter. Defensively, he used his strong frame to force turnovers and battle on the boards for the ball. He’s a prospect out of Pine Forest High that DI and DII college programs should get eyes on this season in NC’s 2025 class.
Pedersen is another familiar face on the PH stage out of the 919 area. He was an impressive prospect who should he could operate in a variety of ways for Team 7 at the Top 250 Expo. He showed he could knock down shots on the perimeter with efficiency, showed his poise as a scorer and facilitator off the bounce and showed he could hold his own defensively. He’s a prospect out of Enloe High that DII and DIII college programs should get eyes on this season.
Highlights
Leighton is a familiar face out of Northwood High who stood out with his strong frame, length and ability to know where to be. He’s an efficient shooter who can make shots from all over the floor and should be a pivotal face in the Chargers rotation this season. He didn’t just shoot either as he knew where to be defensively and on the rebounding front to make his presence felt in that manner. DII and DIII programs in the region should get eyes on him!
Jones was a standout in the Team 7 backcourt at the PH North Carolina Top 250 Expo all day long. He’s a menacing guard with a strong frame already in the 2025 class out of Holly Springs High who made his mark by the end of the day. He was a two-way presence who found ways to get to the painted area off the bounce offensively and knew how to be a pest defensively to make his presence felt on the floor. Look for him to play a part in the Holly Springs backcourt this season on the 4A stage.
Podger is a sizeable name out of Cary High who’s gotten extensive viewing over the past two days. He’s a stretch-forward prospect in the 2026 class with a knack for extending the floor around the perimeter with his ability to knock down shots on the perimeter and in the mid-range. As he finds his confidence as a paint presence rebounding and scoring the ball around the rim, look for his stock to grow in the class very soon.
