Continue ReadingThis past season was a big time year for the 2A division in East NC. Farmville Central defended their state title and played against nationally ranked programs. Three players from ENC 2A have already signed with ACC programs ( Dontrez Styles Dontrez Styles 6'7" | PF Kinston | 2021 State #43 Nation NC , Terquavion Smith Terquavion Smith 6'3" | CG Farmville Central | 2021 State #105 Nation NC & Bobby Pettiford Bobby Pettiford 6'1" | PG South Granville | 2021 State #115 Nation NC ) so we would like to take this opportunity to look at some more players who are unsigned in 2A but should have big time seasons.
Kinston HS Junior Wing Jeremy Dixon Jeremy Dixon 6'5" | SF Kinston | 2022 State NC has been a name that college coaches have added to their watchlist over the past year. The 6’6 Wing has a nice overall skillset and is an impressive player when he’s aggressive. This season his squad will need him to be aggressive and efficient on a nightly basis.
College coaches will want to go ahead and put St. Pauls HS Junior Guard Jeyvian Tatum Jeyvian Tatum 6'3" | CG St Paul's | 2022 State NC on their watchlist without a doubt ! Tatum showed flashes of how good he can be last season and more recently he matched up with some D1 talent in the 9 Dime Fall League and played very well. His toughness and scoring ability are two of the attributes that you have to like about him.
Washington HS Senior Guard Omarion Blount Omarion Blount 6'1" | CG Washington | 2021 State NC is a player that we have talked about quite a bit in the recent weeks. Blount has all the tools to be a solid player on the next level and should be see more school jump on board this season.
Goldsboro HS 6’4 Senior Guard Xavion Atkinson Xavion Atkinson 6'3" | SG Goldsboro | 2021 State NC is another prospect that is under the radar but is playing his way into more college interest. He can score the ball on multiple levels, doesn’t back down from any challenge and can be just as good on the defensive side of the ball as he is on offense.
One of the best kept secrets in the entire state, Hertford County Senior Guard Daylan Askew Daylan Askew 6'4" | SG Hertford County | 2021 State NC is a bucket getter that college coaches should be on! Over the summer and fall grassroots tournaments, Askew was consistently one of the top scorers. Showcasing his college level shooting range and overall competitive nature, he’s only helped his stock over the past few months.
