was sidelined with injuries. In every big game, Keith embraced the challenge. He’s a well-rounded scoring guard with good size already and an advanced feel for the game rarely found in freshmen. Keith received his first offer from Georgia in January.
There was a signifigant amount of buzz around

entering his freshman year but his play throughout the season consistently lived up to the hype. Bonner is a 6’7 lefty that plays above the rim and competes on both ends. He provided his fair share of highlights but none bigger than a dunk of the year candidate against Drew Charter a week ago. Bonner helped lead North Cobb Christian to a 17-6 record in the regular season while earning First Team All-Region Honors. Currently holds offers from Butler and St. Louis.

era has officially begun at Lovett. Cannon entered the year with some huge shoes to fill but it didn’t take him long to adjust to the high school game. He’s extremely confident in his ability and we saw that from game one. Cannon shot it very well from beyond the arc this year, connecting on 42% of his attempts. He also averaged 15 PPG, multiple outings with 25+ points.

Anderson ran the show for Savannah Country Day and averaged 15 PPG. He got better and better throughout the year and his statement game came a week ago against crosstown rival, Calvary Day. Anderson exploded for 30 points including 14 in the 4th quarter and the game-winning three at the buzzer.

helped lead a complete turnaround at Woodstock this year as the Wolverines finished the regular season at 16-9, a significant jump from their 6-21 record last year. Saragba has been an absolute game-changer inside, controlling the glass and protecting the rim at a high level. As a freshman, he even set the school record for rebounds in a game (24). Saragba is a powerful two-hand dunker that can elevate in traffic and his low post game has been coming along nicely as well. The sky is the limit for Saragba as it looks like he’s still got a few more inches left.
