Continue ReadingPrep Hoops had the opportunity to get to watch the Legacy Early College Basketball team practice on Friday. Legacy Early College is located in Greenville, South Carolina, and is a member of the National Interscholastic Basketball Conference. Successful former Lions include Bryce McGowens (Charlotte Hornets), Nic Claxton (Brooklyn Nets), Rayshon Harrison (Grand Canyon University), and Coen Carr (Michigan State University). The Lions add a lot of new faces to the squad this year including Terry Copeland Terry Copeland 6'8" | PF Legacy Early College | 2024 State SC and Cole Hansen Cole Hansen 6'4" | SG Legacy Early College | 2024 State SC , who are both ranked Top 10 in the Prep Hoops SC 2024 Rankings. However, the pieces seem to be fitting in nicely for Head Coach BJ Jackson and company, who expect to be one of the Top Teams in the NIBC again this season. Here are my takeaways from their open practice on November 3rd:
- Terry Copeland Terry Copeland 6'8" | PF Legacy Early College | 2024 State SC and Gabe Grant Gabe Grant 6'10" | PF Legacy Early College | 2024 State SC can be a dominant Big Man Combo
- Cole Hansen Cole Hansen 6'4" | SG Legacy Early College | 2024 State SC will be one of the best shooters in the NIBC
- Travelle Bryson Travelle Bryson 6'5" | SF Legacy Early College | 2024 State SC , Kyelin King Kyelin King 6'4" | SF Legacy Early College | 2024 State SC will also add much-needed floor spacing
- The Lions don’t have a large squad, but they do have a lot of talent so expect everyone to have an important role
- I like in-state transfer JJ Rembert JJ Rembert 5'11" | PG Nation Ford | 2024 State SC ‘s fit with Legacy as a true Point Guard
- Expect Adrian Shackleton Adrian Shackleton 6'3" | CG Legacy Early College | 2024 State SC to also get a lot of ball-handling opportunities
- 2026 Zion McGee has a bright future
- During practice, the Lions focused on Transition Offense and Pick-And-Roll Defense
Legacy will open their season at home on Monday, November 6th vs Believe Prep followed by a big matchup at Christ School on Friday, November 10th.
