Hamilton Heights, TCA bring Top 30 talent into Tennessee

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>PICTURED: [player_tooltip player_id='2243492' first='Dazon' last='Reid']</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Often players are plucked <em>from</em> our state. It is frustrating for this basketball fan. Today the focus becomes talent coming <em>to</em> Tennessee. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1686289' first='Peyton' last='Parker'] (TCA)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boston University offered [player_tooltip player_id='1686289' first='Peyton' last='Parker'] late July after the LIVE Period concluded. They joined other July offers from North Florida, Jackson State University, University of Arkansas Pine Bluff, and Louisiana Tech.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Why?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Early January '27 PG [player_tooltip player_id='1686289' first='Peyton' last='Parker'] scored 28 points. In a fourth quarter. On the road. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Parker is a speedy lead guard capable of scoring on all three levels. Most of his success comes 10' and in thanks to his elite first-step.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Years back Northwestern State University and Alabama A&amp;M offered though those offers could have stagnated, lapsed. Consider the four from July the most commitable. Just a hunch, but LSU is likely a dream school for Parker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Most will not see Peyton play because Tennessee Collegiate Academy is not an accredited TSSAA school. They play other prep school teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2243492' first='Dazon' last='Reid'] (Hamilton Heights Christian Academy)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2243492' first='Dazon' last='Reid'] spent last winter on Huntington Prep routinely matching up against college-bound guards. He looked capable but not yet dominant during the exhaustive Grind Session season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dazon plays with plus agility and long arms though he can be more disruptive with his length. Facing Prolific Prep way back in the winter Reid's defense was spotty. The ideal college program will summon the defensive potential of Reid better than the HPrep staff did.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reid projects as a college shooting guard The best version of him currently is that of a slasher/scorer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>During the winter Dazon visited West Virginia's campus for a basketball game. WVU was engrossed in a conference matchup while Dazon and other high school hoopers attended as recruit guests. Ohio University, a college not that far from West Virginia's border, offered Reid in February of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2201962' first='Andrew' last='Iduh'] (Tennessee Collegiate Academy)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>From Union Catholic hulking forward <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2201962' first='Andrew' last='Iduh']</strong> is moving to Millington, Tennessee where he will spend a single season playing for Tennessee Collegiate Academy. Expect him August 6th.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"I'll be moving down on Thursday," Iduh shared exclusively with @PrepHoopsTN.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2201962' first='Andrew' last='Iduh'] batters his way to the rim and also finishes with distinct power. There are not many like him in Tennessee. You might remember Malcolm Dandridge. Goodpasture forward [player_tooltip player_id='2880037' first='Jacob' last='Williams']. These two are worthwhile stylistic comparisons. Like Williams Iduh is pretty light on his feet for such a muscular and tall young player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
