Ryan Wingard, Justin, Davis, Asa, Ty will sign in the coming days
In this article:
We are going to set a @PrepHoopsTN site record for most Early Signing Period D1 signees with as many as 11 possible. For framing purposes, we launched in 2017. So, ten years of existence...this is the most advanced senior class at the top. Excitingly, the state features about 125 more guys capable of vaulting into college basketball players should the ultimately sign in Aprilish.
Will Sign
Five years ago, D1 programs completely stopped recruiting high school seniors instead electing to just scour the transfer portal. It is both infuriating and a reality now. And yet these guys managed to crawl through the swampy morass and into the eyeballs of D1 assistant coaches and eventually earn their list of offers from which to choose.

looks to put a bow on a tremendous high school career, maybe battle for Mr. Basketball after signing to Johnson University November 11th, 2:00 P.M. Jackson won his 1 title (so far) in 2024 thanks in large part to Tylan Lewis and Jett Montgomery. Kobi was a youngin' who continuously blossomed in the intervening years.
