At the time Capps was the #1 college prospect in Tennessee, and it was rightfully seen as a gigantic recruiting win for the Trojans under Head Coach Kevin Carroll. He pushed Stone Memorial into the State Tournament as a freshman and currently sits on 2120 career points!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1549166' first='Collin' last='O'Neal']</strong> (M.B.A. / Team Mookie) verbally committed to Furman University.

A year ago, he landed on the PrepHoopsTN Combine All-Star Team from the October 2023 event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smooth. Dyson defends multiple positions effectively. He gets up so smoothly. Quick. Elam's Lane Agility was among the best of the day (11.15 seconds). Elam will be a college wing, no doubt. Though he looks to be a scorer in pockets, Elam generally played very supportive, perhaps even too deferential Sunday. Unselfishness is uncommon at showcase events. Dyson showed very few true weaknesses. He needs to add heft, “good weight”. Other than that Elam is a trustworthy, athletic player with a promising future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:quote --> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smooth.
