Baba Diop Baba Diop 6'8" | SF Webb Bell Buckle | 2027 State TN found minutes as a rotation piece for Brad Beal Elite 15u outside Atlanta. His length and agility got him to this level, but he is a long-term guy, far from polished right now. Baba was consistently blocking out with his elbows back. Wonderful commitment to the craft. Diop did not get shots or considered an offensive option by his teammates. Less so than last year, there is a bit of timidity to his game. Baba does not realize how strong he naturally is and clattering into guys does not come instinctively to him. The game is probably not as physical in the paint in his native Sweden, and his acclimation will require a little more eagerness to take and give contact. Webb Head Coach Micah Williams is bringing him along nicely.

Joshua Huggins Joshua Huggins 6'5" | PF Goodpasture | 2028 TN started for Goodpasture as an eighth grader. The last eighth graders to play prominent roles for GHS were Jayden Jones Jayden Jones 6'4" | SF Goodpasture | 2025 State #389 Nation TN and King Keary, so he is in great company already. Huggins played as a 4/5 against Mac Irvin FIRE (IL). Huggins is a powerful two-foot leaper.
