Edmond has solid handles and the deceptive first step that makes him tough to stay in front of. In addition to that, he’s a slithery finisher around the basket who can avoid charges, defenders and find angles to finish at the rim at a high rate. As a shooter, he’s effective off the catch from deep and shows excellent touch on his mid-range pull-ups. Edmond shows good accuracy, timing, and awareness when making plays for others. He is elite at kicking out to the corners or making lob passes to bigs when breaking down defenses. As a defender, Edmond is impressive with his effort and willingness to take on challenges. He has an elite ability to block shots as a guard, which speaks to his basketball character and mentality. </span></p> <p>https://twitter.com/ZEdmond4/status/1504687255360843777?s=20&amp;t=Od1x3yILd9xQ7EyXFSPfWA</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces="true">[player_tooltip player_id="1383261" first="Jordyn" last="Turner-Durley"] 6’3 PG Florence 2023</span></u></strong></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Durley is a big guard with a high skill level. At 6’3, he possesses the prototypical size to dominate smaller matchups consistently. As a scorer, Durley is a smooth operator who’s always controls and knows where he wants to go. He plays at his pace and always gets the shot he wants. Durley has exceptional handles and is crafty around the basket with euro’s, off-hand finishes, hop gathers. In addition to his skill, his frame allows him to finish through contact frequently. As a jump shooter, he has solid mechanics, is a knock-down shooter on his mid-range pull-up, and can be a floor spacer as a stationary shooter from deep. </span></p> <p>https://twitter.com/CoachNelson256/status/1504584531298377729?s=20&amp;t=Od1x3yILd9xQ7EyXFSPfWA</p> <p><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Julian Whitfield 6’3 PG/SG Holt 2023 </span></u></strong></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Whitfield is a rangy/ explosive combo guard who plays with pace and bounce. His elite speed and quickness make him unstoppable transition as a one-man fast break. Whitfield’s long strides eat up space and allow him to put pressure on the rim at a high level. This elite speed and his crafty finishing make him one of the better slashers in the state.

His persistent pressure, quick feet, solid frame, and quick hands make him an excellent point of attack defender. He also has an uncanny ability to pickpocket ball handlers and open up fast break opportunities for his team. Offensively Kirk is a reliable contributor who shows excellent touch in the midrange and can knock down shots from deep off the catch as a stationary shooter. </span></p> <p>https://twitter.com/KJKirk4/status/1482886000489730048?s=20&amp;t=b6fBm8shwwJotGYCtKNheQ</p> <p><u><span data-preserver-spaces="true"><b>Braylon Dame 6’2 SG/SF Lawrence County 2025</b></span></u></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Dame is a young prospect that shows potential to develop into a very solid player. His playstyle is well beyond his years and shows he can flourish within a team construct with his skill set.
