He's been one of the leading names on the wing for Carolina International School, averaging 20.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 steals per game in 2024-25. The Comets are unbeaten in Metro 8 action at 4-0 with Shouse shooting 64 percent from the field and 42 percent from deep. He's a prospect for DI and DII programs in the region to get on their radar. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2055665"],"_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-6797dcc206e63"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Swindell is a versatile presence in the 2026 rankings at Caldwell Academy for DI and DII programs to get on their radar. He's shown he can operate virtually at any position on the floor given his strong frame, athleticism and high IQ. He's shown he can do whatever is needed on the floor to help his team win and doesn't ever waver on the floor. Pure energy guy on the floor who a college program would love to have. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2523139"],"_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-6797dcc206edf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Payne is coming along nicely in the Washington frontcourt at the wing spot as he moves into 59 in the latest 2026 rankings update. He's an athletic menace who's also shown he can make plays for others and knock down shots on the perimeter this season. He's producing 16.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game as the PamPack are 3-1 in 2A Eastern Plains action heading into February. DI and DII programs in the region would be wise to check in on him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2301229"],"_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-6797dcc206f56"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rhodes has emerged as quite the presence pn the wing for Charlotte Carholic as they're 15-4 heading into the final week of January. He's shown he can fit right in at a new place, putting up 11.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game on 46 percent shooting from the floor. As he shows he can knock down shots on the perimeter with consistency, look for some DII programs to start calling. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2485301"],"_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-6797dcc206fcd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arguably one of the top prospects on the Forsyth Country Day roster as they look to repeat as NCISAA State Champions, Horobey is due to grow even more heading into a pivotal summer from a recruiting standpoint. He's a glue guy who knows how to finish possessions with his rebounding ability defensively. Offensively, he can space the floor as a shooter and a slasher as well. Look for his stock to continue to grow over the next few months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
