<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo has finished but the coverage sure hasn't even gotten started. This is a great time to <strong><em>SUBSCRIBE </em></strong>to the site for basketball coverage all year long here in the Palmetto State. <strong><em>#RecruitThePalmettoState</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2174161,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/IMG_0502.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/IMG_0502.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2174161" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1127746' first='Jack' last='Pfister']</strong> - Greer Middle College </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pfister was hurt a bit this summer after a golf cart incident. He seemed to be back in form today finishing around the cup. Jack is a physical player with a soft touch and a willingness to finish through contact. He will work to post up and really look to carve out space down low. Jack understands on how to seal his defender to receive the ball down on the block. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1985870' first='KJ' last='Stephens']</strong> - Byrnes HS (Duncan) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stephens really lacks a true position player on the floor. That's fine you just make sure you have him playing good minutes. KJ is quite productive every time he touches the floor. He plays bigger than his size and really likes to slash to the cup at times. Stephens has no problems battling for rebounds and just playing tough at all times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>KJ kept up his play from this summer on the Grassroots Circuit. No position - no problem - just make sure he's on the floor - he brings production. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2174155,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/IMG_0523.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/IMG_0523.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2174155" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2167071' first='Xavier' last='Butler']</strong> - Bridges Prep (Beaufort)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Butler made his way over to Bridges Prep from Beaufort HS. Xavier is a very good athlete and does most of his damage around the basket. He excels in the transition game going coast to coast. Xavier played really active in the passing lanes picking up several deflections along the way today. Xavier has some serious bounce around the cup. He plays the game with a motor that never seems to turn off. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2174157,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/IMG_0537.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/IMG_0537.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2174157" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1295766' first='Gal' last='Levy']</strong> - Myrtle Beach HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Levy really likes to set up shop out behind the three-point line. Gal feels most comfortable knocking down jumpers. When open he shoots the ball at a good clip. He will be counted on to help the Seahawks program move in a upward direction this coming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2174159,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/IMG_0522.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/IMG_0522.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2174159" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1051824' first='Robert' last='Moore']</strong> - Porter Gaud </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moore was in attendance after playing really well this summer on the Grassroots Circuit with [program_tooltip program_id='2078752' first='Upward' last='Stars'] 3SSB 2025. Robert can score the ball in hurry at times from all 3 levels on the floor. He was effective today scoring from the mid-range at times and simply slashing to the cup. Robert has a nice skill set and it showed today at times. He's above average passer and really looks to set up his teammates well while on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moore received some offers this summer from the likes of College of Charleston, Coastal Carolina University and Georgia Southern University to name a few. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1578659' first='Ryheim' last='Manning'] </strong>- Windsor Forest HS (Savannah, GA) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Manning left the Palmetto State after playing at Dillon Christian last year. Ryheim really has a knack for challenging and timing shots on the defensive end of the floor. He likes to play out on the wing on offensive side of the ball. Manning has good length and the ability to defend a bigger post player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2175538' first='Drew' last='Swyt']</strong> - Oceanside Collegiate (Mount Pleasant) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Swyt was a bit passive at times when it came to shooting the ball today. Drew moved really well without the ball and constantly was looking to set up his teammates with quality passes. He really hustled on both ends of the court with his play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2174158,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/IMG_0538.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/IMG_0538.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2174158" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2174132' first='Quinn' last='Mahoney']</strong> - Oceanside Collegiate (Mount Pleasant) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mahoney is originally from the Buckeye State. Mahoney came to play today here at the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo. Quinn was able to set up his teammates at times with his quality passing or simply knocking down some three-pointers along the way. He also excels on the football field for the Landsharks as a place kicker/wide receiver and quarterback. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
