When Carson caught my eye, I could not stop watching him compete. He is a lefty with multi-level scoring ability and craftiness in his overall game. He showed really good shot creation as he has a quick trigger, handles, and footwork that help with his scoring prowess. He has high awareness for his age and a good feel for the game, especially when it comes to scoring.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2819089,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PHN-Jeremiah-Payne-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PHN-Jeremiah-Payne-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2819089" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jeremiah Payne </strong>(5'9/SG/2031/T3 Mamba) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: _t3elite</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jeremiah has positional size for his grade level and was really good at knifing his way to the cup and scoring. There is nothing flashy about his game, but he is highly productive when putting his head down and putting pressure on the rim. He plays with a lot of energy and effort, and the strength of his game is his ability to get downhill. As he continues to add to his game, he is going to be a player to closely monitor.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2819090,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PHN-Knox-Farris-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PHN-Knox-Farris-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2819090" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Knox Farris</strong> (5'1/CG/2032/ODS Elite) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Knoxfarris_1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Knox is a young, heady combo guard with a well-rounded game. He showed his ability to facilitate and score, but it was his play at the lead guard position that really helped his team in the game I saw. He has a solid skill set, which he is going to be able to build upon, and his potential was seen in his play. He can handle the rock and is shifty with his crossovers, hesitation moves, and overall attacks to the cup. His development is one to keep an eye on. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2819091,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PHN-Wyatt-Lee-Hodge-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PHN-Wyatt-Lee-Hodge-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2819091" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Wyatt Lee Hodge</strong> (5'7/SF|C/2032/East Tennessee Elite) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Wyatt is a young wiry inside presence who showed a lot of versatility in his game with his ability to score around the rim, off the bounce, as well as from behind the arc. There isn't a lot of flash in his young game as he went out and played hard and smart and impacted both ends of the floor. With his size, he was able to rebound at a high rate. There is a lot of potential when it comes to Wyatt, especially with the young versatility that is seen in his game.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2819092,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PHN-Cash-Johnson-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PHN-Cash-Johnson-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2819092" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Cash Johnson</strong> (5'6/CG/2031/NYBA Elite) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: ccashj12</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Cash is a young slasher who puts constant pressure on the rim and who lives in the paint. He is skilled with offensive versatility and can produce on and off the ball. He showed his ability to initiate the offense and navigate the looks that the defenses gave him, and he showed his ability to create his own offense and get buckets when he was in scoring mode. He really excels in the open floor, where he has space and freedom to operate with the rock in his hands. He is an instinctive, budding prospect to keep an eye on.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2819093,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PHN-Micah-Shiflet-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PHN-Micah-Shiflet-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2819093" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Micah Shiflet</strong> (5'10/C/2031/B.Maze Elite) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Mic5h.nation_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @MShiflet259279</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Micah is a stout interior presence who currently dominates with his mere size. He finishes really well around the rim, and good things often happen for his squad when the offense is run through him. He showed good hands and touch. There is a lot of room for development when it comes to Micah's overall game, but what I will focus on right now is his agility, lateral movement, and being able to defend on the perimeter if teams in the future attempt to pull him from out of the paint. Right now, he is a player who can dominate a game, but he will need to continue to work on his overall game and perimeter skills for the future of his game.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2819094,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PHN-Markel-Boyd-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PHN-Markel-Boyd-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2819094" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Markel Boyd</strong> (5'9/PF/2031/NYBA) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Markelboyd22</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Markel is a stout power forward who brought toughness to the floor for his squad. He plays with a lot of energy and effort and impacts the stat sheet in several categories. He is an active rebounder and a physical defender, which is where he stands out the most. He showed he can score around the rim as he is a really good second-chance scorer, as he uses size and hustle to clean up offensive rebounds for easy putbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
