Darius came on strong this summer after making the move over to Gray Collegiate from Carolina Forest HS. Darius has really picked up his play around the cup. He has nice footwork to finish around bigger defenders at times.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eDarius can step-out and feel comfortable connecting on a short corner - mid range jumper. He really does a nice job of chasing down rebounds outside of his area. Carr tends to play bigger than his size down low.

Jayden is an undersized post with a good skill set. Pretty seems to be undervalued at times with his play on the floor. He's highly effective from the elbow in and really shows off some crafty passing skills.u003cbru003eu003cbru003ePretty made the up from #31 to #27 this time around in the 2024 Palmetto State Rankings.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1265433"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Turner brings good versatility to the floor for the Eagles. Qayden can play all the positions out on the perimeter. He will look to stalk the baseline or simply pull-up from downtown with his jumper. Turner will handle the rock up the floor in transition and shows to have good passing skills when it comes to finding the open man.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eQayden comes in at #28 this time around after being #41 back in June.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1343999"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Hope really doesn't have a true position on the floor for the Swamp Foxes. Jahlil can do a little bit of this or that. That certainly doesn't hurt him with his play though. Jahlil can get the ball to the cup by getting downhill. He does a nice job of playing off the bounce. Prep Hoops likes to identify these guys as PLAYERS - you find minutes for them wherever that is on the court. Jahlil averaged 18.3 ppg and 9.8 rebounds last season.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eHope jumped up to #45 after being #60 back in the June rankings.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2023006"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Mitchell seems to be back to his old self with his play on the hardwood for the Trojans.

Mason will stalk the baseline and bring havoc at the rim at times. He really does a nice jump of defending multiple positions.
