He walks away holding a number of records for his squad including the single-game assists record with 18 that he set in the conference tournament. His ability to operate on both ends and make a strong impact don’t go unnoticed. He’s a hardworking prospect headed to Toledo University after this season.

James is a prospect who continues to see his stock grow as a number of MM offers come his way with SW15H Elite . He’s a strong-framed guard/wing who’s shown he can fill up the stat sheet in a variety of ways with his shooting, defending and athleticism. Look for his stock to continue to rise as the June HS period heats up.

James is continuing to show why he’s the next big thing from Holly Springs, putting up 28 in a win over Middle Creek, and a 24 point 10 rebound double double over Green Hope. He’s been outstanding as a perimeter scorer so far this season, shooting 42% from deep and continuing to make teams pay when they try to play his driving ability instead of his shooting. He is blossoming into a legitimate D1 prospect in front of our eyes, and should continue to get better and better as the season finishes.

Last Season Stats – N/A

James is a huge stockriser from the summer and with the loss of guards in Holly Springs, it should be his show all season long. He’s a strong and athletically talented scorer that makes things happen with the ball in his hands. Elite shotmaker and taker that can either get to the mid-range or downhill and finish strong around the rim. Plus defender and rebounder for his position. All that is missing is a continued improvement in his playmaking and creation for teammates, and then he will be a collegiate star.
