Continue ReadingWith the FINAL 2024 rankings update being published today, it’s time to take a look at our final Top 10 list that includes a lot of mainstays, as well as a new name at the back end of the rankings. With 9 high major prospects, including a plethora of ACC and SEC commits, this North Carolina class is as loaded at the top as we’ve ever seen.
The top 8 players remain in the same spots as the winter update, with everyone continuing to perform at a high level for their respective HS teams. Isaiah Evans Isaiah Evans 6'6" | SG North Mecklenburg | 2024 State #17 Nation NC maintains the top spot, dropping 22 points last night to lead North Meck into a heavyweight quarterfinal clash with Myers Park on Friday. Jayden Quaintance Jayden Quaintance 6'9" | C Word of God | 2024 State #11 Nation NC is once again at 2, dominating in the low post with Word of God and looking to be an impact piece for Coach Cal and Kentucky next season. Rounding out the top three is Combine Academy Rakease Passmore Rakease Passmore 6'6" | SF Combine Academy | 2024 State #50 Nation NC , who has been a force on the OTE circuit and ranked inside the top 50 nationally at 24/7 Sports.
With the next five spots, a plethora of ACC and SEC guys make up this group. Austin Swartz Austin Swartz 6'5" | SG Cannon | 2024 State #40 Nation NC stays at #4 as he put on some dazzling, high scoring performances in his last go-around with Cannon School this year. Drake Powell Drake Powell 6'6" | CG Northwood | 2024 State #8 Nation NC , the hometown UNC commit, comes in at the fifth spot. At 6 and 7, Myers Park duo Bishop Boswell Bishop Boswell 6'4" | PG Myers Park | 2024 State #68 Nation NC and Sir Mohammed Sir Mohammed 6'6" | SG Myers Park | 2024 State #83 Nation NC slide in at those spots respectively. The two of them are playing great basketball at the right time as the Mustangs look to go back-to-back in the 4A classification. Paul McNeil Paul McNeil 6'6" | SG Richmond County | 2024 State #172 Nation NC clocks in at number 8 as he continues to lead Richmond to state title glory and then prepares for NC State next year.
Jayden Harris Jayden Harris 6'6" | SG Salisbury | 2024 State #220 Nation NC is our first mover of the group, sliding up one spot to the 9th position in the rankings. Salisbury is a 2A quarterfinalist with a matchup with Randleman next, and Harris’ 30.6 PPG is going to be vital for them to compete for a state title. Ari Fulton Ari Fulton 6'7" | SF Westover | 2024 State NC rounds out the list, moving into the final 10th spot of the rankings, up from 12th in the winter. His performances at Westover have not gone unnoticed, and Coach Billmeier at NJIT may have gotten a real steal that could be impactful in his first year in New Jersey.
