East Coast Invitational Wings To Recruit

This week we checked in at the East Coast Invitational team camp in Jacksonville, NC to watch some of the top high school teams from the east take the stage. Here's a look at some of the young wing prospects that played well under our watch.    Riggins is the 2027 player I was probably most impressed with at the end of the event. He's hit a growth spurt standing near 6'5 with extremely long arms and a solid handle when controlling the ball. He plays with good pace and was scoring from all over the floor, leading New Bern in scoring several games. One who's stock is trending upward.     Without his brother and leading returning scorer Colin in the lineup due to injury, Whit stepped up and had himself a weekend. He shot the ball at a solid rate from the perimeter while still contributing in ball handling and rebounding categories.       The athletic wing from Millbrook showed some promise in a point forward role during the event. He was the initiator of the offense in the half court and showed off his athletic ability both in the open floor and on the defensive side of the ball. A long lanky wing with a solid all around skill set, he should be a target for schools in July.     Dixon didn't have the greatest of showings overall but Hilary was a nice bright spot for the team. He's around 6'3 and showcased a nice all around skill set. He showed some ability to shoot the ball from three, block shots, and handle the ball in the halfcourt.        Northside went 2-1 in bracket play making an appearance in the championship on Sunday. Gray did most of his damage on the inside, taking other wings/forwards off the dribble, and showed some promise in the mid range. For the young Monarchs squad, he was a consistent threat on the boards as well.        The lefty prospect showed his good feel for the game, handling the ball in the halfcourt and making the right play with the ball in his hands. He looks to have stretched some to somewhere around 6'4 and was effective in the shot blocker role from the weak side as well.       The athletic 6'3 wing had a solid showing during the event, pushing Willow to a semi-final appearance on bracket day. He was in attack mode in the two games I watched getting downhill at will and even knocking down a few threes in the process.
