Dobyns joins the Winston-Salem Christian rotation after spending time at Wesleyan Christian Academy; he's a sizeable prospect at 6-foot-9 who's shown he can be a versatile threat on the floor when he's locked in; he should give WSC quite the dynamic to work with on the wing given Dobyns' prowess for rising up over smaller defenders and knocking down shots on the perimeter

West makes the move over to Fayetteville Academy as they look to reload on the NCISAA stage; he's a sharpshooting threat who knocked down 128 3-pointers as a junior at Freedom Christian Academy, averaging 26.9 ppg in the process; look for him to make a similar impact on the perimeter for FA
