He was a double-double machine in the Jelly Fam frontcourt on the OTE stage, finishing with 10.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per contest and seven double-doubles this past season. He's a forward who flies around on both ends making things happen. DI programs would be wise to get him on their radar. He'll be one to watch on the EYBL stage this spring/summer with the New York Lightning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/DIALLOMAR26/status/1892629297455562816","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/DIALLOMAR26/status/1892629297455562816 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1487713"],"_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-68033727245cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Haynes is another power forward prospect who likes to play above the rim on both ends of the floor, though he's shown he can step on the perimeter and knock down shots as well. He's fresh off an NCISAA 4A Final Four appearance in the NCISAA State Playoffs and ready to really show DI and DII programs what he can do. He'll be a prospect set to break out on the adidas stage with Upward Stars 3SSB this spring/summer as he gets to showcase what he can do.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/DeuceHaynes/status/1894483551875146122","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/DeuceHaynes/status/1894483551875146122 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2516237"],"_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-680337272461a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's already committed to UNC for baseball but [player_tooltip player_id='2516237' first='Nicholas' last='Rumbley'] continues to showcase his skills on the hardwood as well. He's a 6-foot-6 power forward who's continued to show his growth on the interior and on the perimeter as a mobile presence. He averaged 12.8 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game as a junior at Rockingham County this past season. He's due to continue to prove his worth as a top power forward in the class heading into his final year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1220125"],"_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-680337272465c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson is a rising power forward to get to know at Berean Baptist Academy checking in at No. 94 in the latest rankings market corrections. He's a matchup nightmare given his strong frame, size and ability to get downhill on the perimeter. He's also got the underrated ability of knocking down shots on the perimeter. He knocked down 57 3-pointers this past season for the Bulldogs while averaging 13.2 points and 2.3 rebounds per contest. He's an underrated athletic power forward to watch with [program_tooltip program_id='2078549' first='Team' last='Wall'] this spring/summer on the grassroots scene.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2382797"],"_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-680337272469d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prenger is a forward prospect who continues to rise in the 2026 class out of Smoky Mountain. He's shown he can operate at either forward spot, given his mobility and ability to make things happen getting downhill. He produced 19.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his junior year, raising his ppg average from 13.6 as a sophomore. He's a prospect who's continued to improve over the past few months and a prospect in WNC for DII/DIII/JUCO programs to get eyes on given his activity on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15683875/67bdf03f6c2e7c6184fad165' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6803372724839"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2280469"],"_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-6803372724887"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Slusher is a power forward to get to know out of Hough as he moves into No. 162 in the latest market rankings correction. He's finding his way on the rebounding front as he snagged 4.7 rebounds and put up 5.9 points per game this past season. As he continues his development on the wing, look for his name to grow on the recruiting trail. He's a prospect for DIII/JUCO/NAIA programs to get on their radar given his size and activity on the interior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18730805/67e2d1ee046fd4c7c6b73798' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68033727248af"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
