He'll certainly free things up in the painted area/frontcourt for the Wildcats with his presence around the rim. Look for him to turn heads in 2024-25.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297327"],"_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-66f2ce1594f10"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's a sharpshooting presence who's seen his recruitment go up in the past few months with offers from Milligan U, Guilford College, Roanoke College and Montreat College on the table. He's a top returning 3-point shooter in the NCISAA 3A ranks to know heading into the season after knocking down 98 shots from the perimeter in 2023-24.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2285831"],"_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-66f2ce1594fe1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hall is a hidden gem over at Middle Creek High waiting to blossom in the 2025 class. He moves into the 120th spot in the latest rankings update after putting up 14.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game as a junior. After leading the Mustangs in 2023-24, he'll look to turn the heads of college coaches and then some in 2024-25.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1225449"],"_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-66f2ce15950b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Clayton is a big man prospect out of AC Reynolds to keep an eye on as he moves into the 123rd spot in the latest 2025 rankings update. He's quite the two-way presence in the Rockets' frontcourt after posting 10.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 blocks per contest. He's set to make an impact in the frontcourt before heading to Appalachian State, where he's committed to play next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2091779"],"_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-66f2ce1595181"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Railey is a shifty guard prospect to know out of Watauga High in the 2025 class. He checks in at 126th in the latest update with an offer from the University of Lynchburg as he heads into his senior season. He was named Northwestern Conference Player of the Year after posting 14.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 2.1 assists per game in 2023-24. He's due to make a lot more noise in 2024-25 in his final year of high school ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
