Big Shots Carolina Live: 2025 Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops took in a few days of action at the Big Shots Carolina Live in Rock Hill. The NCAA Live Period is here on the guy's side for the next few weeks. Who were some players that played well with us in attendance here this weekend from the Palmetto State? <strong><em>#RecruitThePalmettoState </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Big Man in Small Town: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1932565,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/2EAF0F2B-D220-4AE1-9B26-9FB8C2C6077C.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/2EAF0F2B-D220-4AE1-9B26-9FB8C2C6077C.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1932565" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1419747' first='Daniel' last='Hutto'] </strong>really plays off the grid up in Walhalla in the northwestern part corner of the Palmetto State. Hutto a left-handed slender forward was playing with a Greenville based team called the Hoopzters Black. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hutto is a finesse forward who can step-out to the short corner or elbow from time to time and knockdown a shot. Daniel does a great job of keeping the ball up high after claiming it off the glass. Hutto is a good passer from the high post and still must get stronger down the road to battle through contact. Daniel has good footwork which comes from playing tennis also when he's not hooping. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Grand Strand Presence:</em></strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1932590,"width":400,"height":263,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/FB3C46E8-4532-4B35-A50E-5ACAD8DBAC61-crop-3088x2028-1682349239.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/FB3C46E8-4532-4B35-A50E-5ACAD8DBAC61-crop-3088x2028-1682349239.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1932590" width="400" height="263" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1032756' first='Javion' last='Crawford']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1032754' first='Brayden' last='Hendrix']</strong> both played against each other on the opening night. Crawford a post player from Conway HS while Hendrix attends Christian Academy of Myrtle Beach. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Crawford was running with The Private Snipaz here this weekend. Javion has shown flashes at times of some breakouts in the past. He plays in the post and runs the floor well. Crawford could be a rim runner at times down the road with his play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1932577,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/0C91D9F8-FD3A-4407-888A-4A23D749BEC8.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/0C91D9F8-FD3A-4407-888A-4A23D749BEC8.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1932577" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hendrix plays the game with some swagger and surely isn't short when it comes to confidence. Brayden was running with Team Fusion. Hendrix found his way to the rim at times or left a crisp pass to a teammate for a good look. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><b>Fo</b></em><strong><em>ursome Helps Team Win Opener: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1239535' first='Amaziah' last='Austin']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1892485' first='Roman' last='Cooley']</strong>,<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1239537' first='Isaiah' last='Henry']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1932519' first='Kingston' last='Brown']</strong> all took charge this past weekend for 1 SC Elite 2025 in Rock Hill.

Amaziah has soft hands and a willingness to finish around the cup. He attends Fountain Inn HS after starting off his high school career at J.L. Mann HS. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1932580,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/2813ED64-69EE-4D32-8B8A-2A466462BD69.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/2813ED64-69EE-4D32-8B8A-2A466462BD69.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1932580" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cooley was effective all day long with his ability to make plays. Roman a lengthy wing finished drives to the rack when he wasn't spotting up from short range for a jumper. He really understands good selection and bigger productive while on the hardwood. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1932574,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/52C5D681-75D8-449E-9380-F36A943B70C8.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/52C5D681-75D8-449E-9380-F36A943B70C8.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1932574" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Henry will have a new address come this season since he has transferred over to Greer HS recently. Isaiah really likes to play the game as a slasher deluxe. He scored several buckets today out in transition on his way to the rack. Henry excels out in an up-tempo fast style of play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1932562,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/300DE27C-0460-43D0-BE7F-756B0C75E060.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/300DE27C-0460-43D0-BE7F-756B0C75E060.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1932562" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown isn't flashy from the point guard position, but he really does see the court very well. Kingston a pass first point guard makes his teammates happy with his decisions on the floor. Brown attends Berea HS in the Upstate. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Just Ballers:</em></strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1932573,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/B8635B15-A33F-4966-8D2F-0EFA7C64A69E.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/B8635B15-A33F-4966-8D2F-0EFA7C64A69E.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1932573" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1766178' first='Jeremiah' last='Brooks'] </strong>delivers results when on the floor. Brooks had a solid freshman season this past year at Greenwood HS in the Upstate. Jeremiah will really work knocking down a by pull-up mid-range jumper. He explodes by defenders in the open court to race to the cup. Brooks is truly a 3-level scorer for the County Line Elite. He had no problems getting the ball to the rack on a consistent basis here today. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1463715' first='Cedric' last='Schofield'] </strong>was running with the Palmetto City Hurricanes. Schofield does his best work around the paint area and delivering results. He will rebound the ball on both ends of the floor and especially outside of his area. Schofield has good length to be disruptive in the passing lanes while picking up some deflections. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
