Cunningham was a strong presence in the Swansboro backcourt in leading them to the NCHSAA 3A Region Finals this season. He's a strong-framed guard at 6-foot-3 capable of operating with and without the ball in his hands at the guard spot. He produced 17.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.2 steals per game on 50 percent shooting from the field for a 25-2 squad. He's due to continue to develop as a prospect at the next level with a wide open recruitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1220122"],"_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-67e22517c5e03"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another prospect for LM/MM D1 programs in the region to look into. He led New Hanover to back-to-back state championship games with his savvy at the lead guard spot. He put up 17.3 points, 5.9 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 3.0 steals per game for a 30-3 squad who was a top seed in the NCHSAA 4A East Playoffs. He's a two-way floor general who can impact the game in a number of ways as a scorer, playmaker and defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1990377"],"_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-67e22517c5d7a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tangiora is another prospect out of Swansboro for DI programs in the region to get eyes on. He's a sizeable forward at 6-foot-7 with a traditional post man game. He produced 18.0 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per contest in his senior season while shooting 67 percent from the field. He's another prospect who continues to develop with room to showcase a perimeter game as well. He's certainly worth a look given his size and frame. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2362603"],"_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-67e22517c5cf5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grimes is an underrated floor general out of JH Rose who led them to a deep run in the NCHSAA 2A State Playoffs. He led the Rampants to a 23-5 record while putting up 17.1 points, 2.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 2.2 rebounds per game while knocking down 35 3-pointers in his final year of high school basketball. He's a hidden gem for DII programs in the region to get on their radar given his penchant for running the show on offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1220132"],"_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-67e22517c5d39"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is an underrecruited prospect for DII/DIII/JUCO programs to get to know out of Washington High. He's a 6-foot-3 guard with a strong frame and instincts as a rebounder and playmaker. He put up 16.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game and knocked down 40 3-pointers for a 19-7 squad in 2024-25.

He was productive in the frontcourt in his senior season as he moves just outside the Top 100 in the final rankings update in the 2025 class. The 6-foot-9 big man put up 10.9 points and 9.0 rebounds per game along with nine double-doubles for a 23-3 squad in 2024-25. Fisher College and Dean College are a few of the programs to offer him over the past few months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/eleck_sutton/status/1899630826049949742","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/eleck_sutton/status/1899630826049949742 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1220128"],"_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-67e22517c5e7e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A leader on the wing out of South Central High, Godley is a prospect with a bright future in the 2025 class. He averaged 10.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 steals per contest on 46 percent shooting from the field and 32 percent shooting from behind the arc. He's shown he's capable of knocking down shots and guarding the 1-4 roles on the floor with his length and athleticism at 6-foot-4. He's got a bright future ahead of him as he heads to Thomas College in Maine.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450106"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67e22517c5e45"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Daniels is an underrated sharpshooter in the 2025 class out of Washington High.
