In case you missed any of the recruiting action, check out this recap, including a deeper dive into six of the prospects who stood out to college programs in June. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027s Leaving Strong Impressions: </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1982890"],"_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-6a4bcdd331159"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1982890' first='Colt' last='Fowler']'s South Carolina offer drew as much buzz as any individual offer in recent memory. Following an elite showing at their team camp, where they rolled out the red carpet for Fowler, Coach Lamont Paris offered Colt over a phone call where he continued to express interest in the rising senior. This was Fowler's first High-Major offer, and no doubt one that will pique his interest. Colt continued to impress throughout the month of July, bringing his offer total to 12 thanks to Tennessee Tech, UTEP, Ohio, and Arkansas State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2147147"],"_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-6a4bcdd331252"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Luis picked up his first offer from Paine College in June. He will be one of the top bench weapons in the state this year, bringing shooting and athleticism whenever he's on the floor. Echevarria has really improved his catch-and-shoot ability, which only adds to his backcourt versatility. Luis has a lot of fans within non-D1 coaching staffs, so if he continues to perform in July, it wouldn't be a surprise to see that list grow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2881403"],"_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-6a4bcdd33131e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another athletic, versatile guard who picked up some steam last month is McIlwain. Alex added Beacon College alongside previous offers from Bob Jones and Johnson &amp; Wales, making him one of the most sought-after prospects outside of South Carolina's big names. Alex always does a great job of attacking the rim, so as he continues to improve his overall feel and jumper, he could be a really good player at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>More 2027 Offers: </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2467362' first='Jackson' last='Terrell'] - Arkansas State</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2450993' first='Aaden' last='Bruton-Smith'] - UNC Asheville, Coastal Carolina, Grambling State, and Arkansas State</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2104388' first='Robert' last='Wylie'] - Presbyterian College, Coastal Carolina, and Norfolk State</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1737994' first='Jaden' last='Johnson'] - Grambling State</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2405569' first='Sam' last='Mills'] - Newberry</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2027918' first='Tucker' last='Scholl'] - Young Harris and Converse</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2887395' first='Ford' last='Stratton'] - Newberry</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2149163' first='Jayden' last='Rowe'] - Norfolk State and Catawba</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2364856' first='Tristan' last='Anderson-Edmond'] - WVU Potomac State</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2954962' first='Chuck' last='Schwarz'] - Carthage</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2934533' first='James' last='Epting'] - Anderson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1986982' first='Jeremy' last='Anderson'] - Paine</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 Names that are Heating Up</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2373165"],"_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-6a4bcdd3313dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Switching over to the 2028 class, CJ remains one of the hottest names in the state. He was one of five in-state prospects to be offered by Coach Lamont Paris and South Carolina in June, while also racking up offers from Wagner, Arkansas State, and Coastal Carolina. The latter two do a strong job of recruiting the Palmetto State, and the Wagner offer came after Moore helped lead the Blazers to a 4-0 weekend at the GBCA Southeast Live. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2630771"],"_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-6a4bcdd331469"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Although I didn't get to see him in person this month, it was evident that Kaleb had an excellent scholastic period. Allen received his first offer from the University of South Carolina on June 15th, then later picked up offers from Virginia Tech, Furman, UTEP, and Anderson. The Hokies seem to have established some early momentum, as Allen already took a visit to Blacksburg, but expect many more schools to come calling in the month of July. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>More 2028 Offers: </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2433116' first='Antoine' last='Caughman Jr'] - South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, Maryland, and Coastal Carolina</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2405568' first='Brice' last='Wiersma'] - Furman, UTEP, Anderson, UNC Greensboro, Coastal Carolina, and Wofford</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1982894' first='RJ' last='Davis'] - South Carolina</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2544211' first='JJ' last='Gray'] - Wake Forest</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2813875' first='Jamel' last='McKinley'] - Coastal Carolina and Paine</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2029s</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2853393' first='Babar' last='Johnson'] - Queens</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2030s</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2419237' first='Jayden' last='Lewis'] - Queens</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3688293"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3688311,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a4bcdd33157c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Meet 2030 [player_tooltip player_id='3688293' first='Emory' last='McIntyre']. Emory is the son of former Clemson star Terrell McIntyre, and he's having a breakout summer for Team CP3, Daniel High School, and across several camps. McIntyre's offer profile for his age is extremely impressive, earning his first offer from Presbyterian after showing out at the SCBCA Live Event, then his second offer at the Coastal Carolina Elite Camp, followed by his third offer and first High-Major offer from the University of Georgia. Keep an eye on this young guard as he continues to emerge from the Palmetto State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
