Younger is a name who continues to climb up the PH radar following his productive HS season with Weddington on the NCHSAA stage this past fall/winter. He’s an athletic, versatile prospect at 6-foot-5 who’s shown he can operate in a variety of ways in the painted area and on the perimeter. He’s got a good feel for reading the defense and taking what he’s given to make things look effortless on the floor. He’ll run with 1 of 1 Elite this spring/summer on the grassroots stage.

Highlights
Gibson is a prospect who’s remained a top point guard prospect to know in the 2025 class in the HoopState. He’s a shifty floor general who can knock down tough shots with ease and controls the pace of the game with his impressive ball-handling and crisp passing. As he continues to develop his ability to keep others involved in the flow of the offense, look for his recruitment to grow with Big Shots Elite NC over the next few months.
Highlights
Fannon is another prospect with 1 of 1 Elite to keep an eye on this grassroots season. The 6-foot-7 junior is coming off a productive junior HS campaign that saw him post 21.6 PPG, 7.6 RPG and 1.1 APG on 43 percent shooting from the floor and 44 percent shooting from behind the arc at East Lincoln. His 103 made 3-pointers ranked fifth in the state of NC, according to MaxPreps. He’s a force to be reckoned with in the 1 of 1 Elite rotation as the grassroots season heats up.
Highlights
White is an emerging floor general to get to know with Cap City Charlotte as he looks to put them on the map on the independent scene. He’s a point guard who put on quite the performance as a new face in the Covenant Day School rotation on the NCISAA stage in 2023-24. He’ll look to continue to showcase his talents as a pace creator and attacker off the bounce alongside Chris Rivens Chris Rivens 6’3″ | SG Convenant Day School | 2025 State NC on the grassroots scene.

He’s one of the more underappreciated shooters at the PG spot in the 2025 class who should see an uptick in his recruitment as college coaches get an eye on him on the 3SSB stage with Garner Road .
Chapman has emerged as the name to know with Truth Elite on the independent scene. He’s a shifty guard prospect hwo makes good decisions with the ball in his hands at the lead guard spot.
