<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[program_tooltip program_id='2674382' first='Save' last='Sports Elite'], a Durham based program, got off to a strong start at the Southeast Kickoff and looks poised for a productive spring and summer. The group features a number of college-level prospects with talent and upside. Here's a closer look at some of their top players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2636728"],"_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-69d5cf7ae7bad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A high-level shot maker, Collini earned All-Conference honors after averaging 13.5 points per game for the Falcons. He is a high-academic prospect with efficient shot preparation and a quick, clean release, allowing him to be effective from deep range. With good positional size and strong off-ball movement, he consistently finds scoring opportunities and stretches the floor. College coaches in search of perimeter shooting should investigate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2467420"],"_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-69d5cf7ae7c45"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The strong senior guard is off the board with a commitment to Dean College. Dorsette is a versatile backcourt piece who can impact the game as both a scorer and a distributor. He finishes well through contact, shows a solid feel for the game, and led Durham Academy with 15.3 points per game this season, capping off a highly productive senior campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2521032"],"_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-69d5cf7ae7cd9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The younger Dorsette brother is already making a name for himself in the 2028 class. Josiah brings high level quickness, good length, and a strong basketball IQ to the lead guard position. A very good passer, he consistently creates opportunities for others and shows the ability to control the game with his pace and decision making.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2415017"],"_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-69d5cf7ae7d46"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson is a quick, attacking lefty lead guard who averaged 17 points per game during his senior season. He gets into the paint with ease, continues to improve as a perimeter shooter, and makes an impact on the defensive end with his activity and toughness. College coaches looking to add backcourt depth to round out their 2026 recruiting class should take a close look.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3560713"],"_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-69d5cf7ae7dd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The junior guard is a wing with good size and shot-making ability, bringing a high basketball IQ to the floor. He is effective attacking off the bounce, able to straight-line drive from the perimeter and finish in the paint. He also moves well without the ball, reads defenders at a high level for his age, and projects as a high academic prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
