<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2639385' first='Greyson' last='Childress']</strong> (6'8/F/'26/Pelham)</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Greysonchi8162</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Greyson will be highly looked upon by the Panthers to be a dominant factor on the interior. He has the size and skill to be a really good low-post player who can score from the low-block as well as make passes to the shooters that are around him when he sees double teams. He has added tools to his low-block scoring arsenal and will be considered one of the top interior players in the state. He also has the ability to step out and make the perimeter shot, which shows his versatility as a big man.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Anderius Deshaun Olds</strong> (6'0/CG/'26/Pelham)</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: smb.andy_</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Anderius's stock continues to increase, and I believe he will have a huge senior season. He is a knock-down shooter from behind the arc, has a really good skill set, and has lots of shiftiness in his game off the bounce. He has the ability to score when given the slightest bit of space and has a knack for scoring from all levels. He is a really good on-ball defender who applies a lot of pressure.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2314045' first='Jayden' last='Robinson']</strong> (6'8/PF|C/'26/Pelham)</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: jayfromda_.408</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Jayden is an athletic big who brings energy on the defensive end of the floor and on the glass. His tenacity to defend post players as a defensive anchor and his fight to battle for rebounds make him a force to deal with on the inside.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194716' first='Tre' last='Pittman'] </strong>(6'1/CG/'28/Pelham)</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Tp3.tre_day</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">There is a lot of chatter surrounding Tre and his potential. He is a young talent who can score at a high level from all levels. While he has the upside to be a big-time scorer, he also has the tools to be a primary playmaking offensive piece. His smooth handles and shot-making ability make him a threat every time he touches the ball. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194879' first='Jacob' last='Gibbs']</strong> (5'10/PG/'27/Pelham)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Jacob is a floor general who will be needed to handle the primary lead guard responsibilities. Jacob can score the rock, but he will need to lock into his PG role and really help lead the team. He is skilled at maneuvering through defenders to create for his teammates, and he makes smart plays with minimal mistakes. He is an unselfish teammate who prioritizes team success over individual stats.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2472376' first='Marcus' last='Arnold']</strong> (6'0/CG/'27/Pelham)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Marcussarnold</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @MarcusArnold_2</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Marcus is a feisty guard with an aggressive game and does a good job putting pressure on the opposing team on both ends of the floor. He will be looked upon to bring depth with a talented stable of guards. He will need to be able to be composed under pressure and unshaken by moments when his ball-handling and decision-making will be needed.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Look for the Panthers to use their time together in June to build upon how Coach Dickinson wants them to play, which is a fast-paced team, hard-nosed defensively, and using their athleticism to wear down opponents. He hopes his team can build chemistry that will help them get off to a good start later this year when the season starts.</p>
