He's shown he can be instant offense with his ability to attack the painted area, get paint touches and find others in the open court for buckets. He's an underrated guard to get to know in the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2447081"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667572a11ecf8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Twitty is a sizeable forward prospect in the 2026 class out of Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy. He's a 6-foot-7 big man who's shown he can produce a double-double on the grassroots scene with [program_tooltip program_id='2078512' first='NC' last='Spartans']. He's a prospect for DII programs in the region to get eyes on given his activity in the painted area on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1165176"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667572a11ed41"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Freeman makes the jump from the 2025 class to the 2026 class as he joins Wayne Country Day School on the NCISAA stage. He's shown he can score the ball in a variety of ways given his quickness with the ball in his hands. After showcasing his abilities as a leading scorer in the state, he'll look to push the envelope by joining the Chargers. He's a prospect for DI and DII programs in the region to keep an eye on as he looks to develop his game over the next few seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2466878"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667572a11ed88"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Graham is a new face in the Top 100 as he makes his debut at No. 70 in the latest rankings update in the state of North Carolina. He's a shifty floor general who's shown he can make things happen in a hurry and with consistency when he has the ball in his hands. He's set to make a splash with Bull City Prep this season. Livingstone College and Austin Peay have been extended him offers this past June as the contact period opens up for the class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1409592"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667572a11eddc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas is another mover into the 2026 class as he moves from Wayne Prep Academy over to Greenfield School in the NCISAA. He's a strong-framed guard who's shown flashes of his ability to operate at the lead guard role. He'll be quite the addition to their backcourt alongside [player_tooltip player_id='1280933' first='Kobe' last='Edwards']. He'll need to show he can operate just as well on the defensive end with his latest move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
