He's been a consistent force on the NCHSAA 3A stage after producing 24.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 3.3 steals per contest this past season as a junior. He's due to make quite the splash in his final year of high school ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2127097"],"_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-66f584ab46026"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Epperson is a sizeable name in the 2025 class to get to know at Southern Wake Academy. He's shown he can lead by example with his ability to be a presence on the glass and find openings for his teammates to make things happen. He knows how to impact the game without scoring the ball. DIII programs in the region would be wise to get eyes on him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1832602"],"_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-66f584ab46091"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hurt is an emerging unsigned senior to get to know at Oak Grove High. He's a relentless attacker with the ball in his hands who can navigate space to make things happen. He put up 10.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game as a junior while shooting 46 percent from the floor and 36 percent from 3-point range. He'll look to do damage with [player_tooltip player_id='1909355' first='Loucas' last='Shoaf'] in the backcourt in his senior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2441149"],"_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-66f584ab46131"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kornacki is a big man prospect to get to know at Concord Academy. At 6-foot-11, he's shown he can hold his own in the painted area after producing 7.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and nearly a block per game in 2023-24. He's an underrated gem in the Concord Academy rotation for DII and DIII programs to get to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1743446"],"_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-66f584ab46194"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brower is a name who continues to rise out of Eastern Randolph High. He's shown he can operate on the wing as both a shooter and facilitator with a high IQ for playmaking. He plays unselfish with the ball in his hands and looks to keep others involved and won't hesitate to find his own shot within the flow of the offense. He was a standout performer at this year's Expo: Carolinas as well. DII, DIII and JUCO programs in the region would be wise to track him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
