Here are several guards who didn't just show up but they made statements...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3582499,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/Bryce-Young-1.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/Bryce-Young-1.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3582499" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2748260' first='Bryce' last='Young']</strong> (6'3/PG/2028/Aim4higher) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Hezzybryce</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">TikTok: content.unavailable &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Bryce set the tone with his aggressive, downhill mentality all weekend. He is a slashing guard who thrives on putting pressure on the rim, and once he gets a step, it is tough to cut him off. He has tremendous quickness and shiftiness with the ball in his hands that allows him to beat defenders one-on-one. He keeps his head up while attacking to consistently find open teammates, in which he uses his gravity to create open. He excels at turning corners and is adept at finding driving lanes even in congested defenses. He scores from all three levels but is really tough at creating off the bounce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3582500,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/Brennen-Hill.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/Brennen-Hill.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3582500" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Brennen Hill</strong> (6'0/CG/2027/Panhandle Prospects) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Brennenhill_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">TikTok: brennenhill14 &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Brennen played with a lot of energy and effort, and his play was contagious to his teammates. He plays on and off the ball and is really quick off the bounce, which is the area of his game where he makes the most impact. He is a playmaker with court vision and creativity off the bounce. Whether running the show, looking for his offense, or creating opportunities for others, whether in transition or the halfcourt, he reads the floor well and, more often than not, makes the right decision with the ball in his hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3582501,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/Charles-Burdette.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/Charles-Burdette.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3582501" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Charles Burdette</strong> (6'1/PG/'26/Gadsden City)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: the.only_charlie</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Charles is a senior who has already committed but was out putting in work not only to keep his game fresh and improving, but also to get some good film in case he is able to continue making progress in the recruitment process. He is a tough, hard-nosed lead guard who understands how to run the show and keep the offense in rhythm. He is the heartbeat of the team and keeps everything connected. He sets the tone for his team on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3582502,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/Antonio-Hill.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/Antonio-Hill.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3582502" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2748287' first='Antonio' last='Hill']</strong> (6'6/G|F/'28/YoungStarz)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: tjswish6666</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Tjswish6666_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Antonio is one of the top-ranked players in Alabama, and he showed why with his creativity and scoring prowess. He scores in a variety of ways and produces from all levels. You can see continued development in his all-around game, as he can do a little bit of everything on the floor and fill up the stat sheet. He has an offensive game that allows him to make an impact whether on or off the ball. He has court vision and passing skills, which make him really tough to contain when attacking off the bounce. He is athletic, plays the game at his own pace, and is at his best when he is attacking the basket and being a creative finisher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3582503,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/Drake-Allen.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/Drake-Allen.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3582503" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3572884' first='Drake' last='Allen']</strong> (5'10/PG/2027/Work Hard Stay Humble) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Drakeallen09</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">TikTok: Yeadat.drake &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Drake is a lead guard who showed his ability to run the show and make others around him better. He is a lead guard who has a nice combination of scoring and creating for a PG. He has ball skills, creativity, &nbsp;and vision that help him to create for others. He consistently got paint touches, collapsed defenses, and made good decisions with the rock. He has good court awareness and does a good job of anticipating the movement of the defense. He has a mature floor game, plays with a lot of confidence, and knows how to get his teammates engaged. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3582504,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/Xavier-Beavers-1.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/Xavier-Beavers-1.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3582504" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2889160' first='Xavier' last='Beavers']</strong> (6'1/CG/'29/Team Premier)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: 2010.Zay_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @BeaversXavier11</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Xavier is one of the bright young and up-and-coming talents in the state of Alabama, and he continues to improve. He was much more aggressive when I saw him on Saturday, and if he can be a more consistent scorer in the way he showed, his stock is going to rise quickly. He is known for his ability to run the show, but he is becoming an electric playmaker who can score off the bounce. He continues to polish his handle, plays with quickness, and is learning how to get to his spots. He is young, and there will be many more write-ups about him, but the most important thing right now is that he keeps getting better every time I see him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
