<p class="text-gray-700">Tough-nosed scorer has proven he can shine on the brightest stage and carry a team. Averaging 23.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 steals. Crafty penetrator has a knack for scoring in traffic. Potent perimeter scorer, hitting 30-78 threes through his first eight games. D-I schools were tracking early on in his career, while his latest offer came this summer from Lurleen B Wallace.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Undersized spit fire is a relentless scorer. Dropped 52 points on Hillgrove en route to amassing 1,000 points in his career. Scores from all over the floor. Deep three-point range. Has keen vision to create off the dribble for others. Plays with a major chip on his shoulder, a feisty competitor.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Central Georgia Tech recently offered the mature playmaker. Alterman already has captured one state title and has the Mustangs in line to compete for another his senior season. Small point man has the ball on a string as he manipulates the defense and makes others around him better. Elusive ball handler is able to penetrate routinely before dishing off for easy hoops. Difficult to trap and tough to speed up. One of the best pure pass-first point guards in Georgia.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A dynamic ball-creator who consistently puts pressure on the rim. Strong downhill guard uses his body well to finish through contact and carve out driving lanes. Comfortable handling versus pressure, Payne gets to his spots and makes the right read as a drive-and-kick distributor with advanced court vision. Impactful in transition, where his speed and strength show up, and competes defensively by guarding his yard. Versatile stat-sheet stuffer with Coastal Alabama already on board.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A smooth, poised lead guard who plays with pace and control. Crafty handle allows Howson to get to his spots, even when dealing with length. Effective shot-maker off the bounce and a clever finisher in traffic. Never rushed, he manipulates defenders with tempo, setting up teammates while calmly knocking down mid-range pull-ups and deep jumpers. Active defender who jumps passing lanes for steals and consistently finds cutters.</p>
