Included
Bradley Central*
East Hamilton*
Ooltewah*
The Howard School*
Jaylen Taylor Jaylen Taylor 6'1" | PG Howard | 2024 State TN (2024) – Howard School
Jaylen Taylor Jaylen Taylor 6'1" | PG Howard | 2024 State TN scored 47 points against Ooltewah High last season. Extremely light on his feet. Thin. Could benefit from added “good weight”. Speedy. Problem for defenders and defenses at large.
Jackson Ary Jackson Ary 6'8" | PF Bradley Central | 2024 State TN (2024) – Bradley Central
Jackson Ary Jackson Ary 6'8" | PF Bradley Central | 2024 State TN is the most intriguing college prospect in the district, in that he stands taller than the other pertinent players. He showed some faceup game in late 2022 and early 2023. Jackson needs to improve his dribbling if he wants any action on the wing. He is ok to dribble on the blocks, but escaping pressure with the dribble anywhere else is suspect. Ary played fantastic off-ball defense for Bradley Central as a junior. Ran the floor quite well for a high school big.
MyQuise Thomas (2024) – Howard School
Caiden Botts (2023) – Bradley Central
An extreme threat in the open floor.Speedy. Caiden Botts needs to figure out where his buckets will come in the halfcourt. His skill is high enough for him to be a volume scorer at the 4A level. Expect an enormous AAU season for Caiden.
Ramireon Taylor Ramireon Taylor 6'1" | SG Bradley Central | 2025 State TN (2025) – Bradley Central
Already a district star. Ramireon Taylor Ramireon Taylor 6'1" | SG Bradley Central | 2025 State TN put in some tough time in the weight room prior to his sophomore season. Expect more commitment there. Taylor hit an early three-pointer against Howard, and rebounded well as a guard.
Ja’Vion Hardaway (2024) – Ooltewah
Ashton Munson (2024) – East Hamilton
East Hamilton landed three players on the All-District Team. Ashton Munson was the only of the three to be a non-senior, meaning he will be the most revered returnee of the historically strong East Hamilton basketball program. Munson is strong on the ball. He is a great high school scorer at the 4A level. Munson is very likely to play college basketball after his senior season (2023-2024).
