D'Marcus has a very good feel for the game when it comes to finding the open man and making winning plays. Thomas is a vocal leader on the floor, and it really has shown with his play over the past few months on the Grassroots and High School Circuit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>D'Marcus will penetrate-kick to an open mate or get to the rack on his own at times. He really likes to have the ball in his hands down the stretch and seems to thrive in clutch situations. D'Marcus uses ball-screens well to get by defenders and surely isn't afraid to take tough shots when needed. He climbed up from #89 to #15 over the past 3-4 months with his play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1824185"],"_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-668dd56fed8f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jenkins hasn't scratched the surface yet with his play on the hardwood. Jordan is also a talented football player for the Tigers in the fall. Jordan is an ideal Run-Jump-Athlete who can finish in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jenkins plays a bit off the grid on the Grassroots Circuit playing with a local Grand Strand Area program in [program_tooltip program_id='2298066' first='The' last='Private Snipaz']. Jenkins plays great around the rim with constant activity. He can step-out a bit for short jumpers from time to time. Jordan is still figuring out where his best game will be overall at the next level. Jenkins made the jump from #33 to #18 in the latest edition of the 2026 Palmetto State Rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1973338"],"_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-668dd56fed956"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">RJ is built like a tank and he certainly knows how to use his body to fight off defenders. RJ is a pesky defender that is constantly on the move on the hardwood. RJ plays Quarterback in the fall on the gridiron for the Bruins. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RJ runs on the UAA Grassroots Circuit with Team Charlotte. Brown is extremely coachable on the floor and will never look to hesitate when it comes to jumping on the deck for a loose ball or sacrificing his body for a charge. RJ is an extremely TOUGH young man who wants to win at all costs. Brown made the jump from #42 to #20 this time around. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2253482"],"_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-668dd56fed9b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jordan has had a good spring and summer on the hardwood. Brown excels at times getting the ball to the cup and finishing at the rim. Jordan can play both guards for the Blue Devils when needed for Head Coach AJ Caldwell. He plays the game with a very good demeanor at all times and always seems under control with his play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jordan is a 3-level scorer. He shows to have good body control fending off defenders on the way to the cup. Jordan made the jump from #45 to #30 this time around in the latest edition of the 2026 Palmetto State Rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2163870"],"_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-668dd56feda0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peden made the move from #57 to #37 with his play this spring and summer. The left-handed Breazeale brings consistency to the floor with his play. He runs on the Grassroots Circuit with [program_tooltip program_id='2078724' first='Carolina' last='Pressure']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Peden hits open shots when called upon and understands on how to run a team from out top. He's quick to get to his spots on the floor and set up his teammates. Peden will look to attack the gaps and baseline. He will take a charge on command at times it seems. Peden isn't flashy at all with his play, but he understands on how to deliver results.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1972148"],"_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-668dd56feda71"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Justus is a nice sized wing play for the Silver Foxes. He runs with [program_tooltip program_id='2078753' first='Upward' last='Stars Columbia'] on the Grassroots Circuit. Justus does a nice job of playing the passing lanes and picking up deflections along the way. He seems to glide all over the floor at times. Justus will look to attack at times with his solid ball-handling skills from the wing. He can play multiple positions on the floor when needed. Bell made the move from #74 to #62 this time around.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Justus will finish well around the bucket when it comes to attacking or stalking the baseline at times.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1972149"],"_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-668dd56fedad6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Swann is a SHOOTER and every college program can use that on their roster. Will really does a nice job of setting his feet from long distance. He shoots the ball at a good percentage clip and accuracy. Will is always shot ready to receive the ball in the pocket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Will made the move up from #94 to #67 in this latest update. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
