Class of 2024: New Transfers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1336530' first='Christian' last='Gilliland'] - Guard - ABC Prep (Memphis, TN)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gilliland is the definition of a bouncy combo guard, utilizing his hyper-athleticism and aggressiveness to score at will. After making a name for himself in the Tennessee area for his explosiveness, he moves to an ABC Prep team where the lead guard role is wide open, and Gilliland is more than capable of filling that spot. He has created a lot of Division 1 buzz around his name and a breakout senior season with ABC will no doubt put him in prime position to garner even more attention from large schools across the country. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1763810' first='Johnny' last='Pierce'] - Forward - ABC Prep (Windsor, NY)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pierce has all the makings of a high-level basketball player. Standing at 6'7", he has the frame and build of a forward but the mobility and quick-burst agility of a guard. His court vision and passing ability stands out however, and it makes him even more valuable as a position-less player. Pierce has already established himself as a Division 1 prospect in the New England area, currently holding 8 D1 offers, but a change of scenery and a new role with ABC will unquestionably boost his following from recruiters and schools looking for someone to take on multiple responsibilities and play large roles for any team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2141490' first='Kayden' last='Meadows'] - Forward - ABC Prep (Cincinnati, OH)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meadows is a 6'8" stretch 4 who can play from anywhere on the court and will fit right in with ABC's system. He's able to use his large frame to bully small defenders but also has good enough ball-handling skills to create for himself off the dribble and get to the basket from the perimeter. Playing with ABC is the perfect opportunity for Meadows to put himself on the radar of Division 1 schools, as his role will be evident on a national stage and he'll be able to evolve his game as the season goes on. No doubt his size and ability will be intriguing for schools everywhere. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2022311' first='Santana' last='Jennings'] - Guard - Sandia (San Antonio, TX)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jennings joins a Sandia team that has had great success in the past at the guard position, and he will look to carry on the legacy. He's a great team player who can adapt to play in any system, and has shown great signs of chemistry during tournament season. Jennings has great touch around the rim and has great court vision and control which allows him to finesse his way through defensive pressure. His role has continually evolved throughout the offseason and he's been able to grow and progress at a steady rate that makes him an exciting prospect for next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1897928' first='Erik' last='Saldana'] - Guard - Santa Teresa (El Paso, TX)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saldana attends high school in New Mexico and spent last season with Santa Teresa High School, but has played offseason ball with the El Paso Matrix, where he has made a name for himself in both New Mexico and Texas. Though slightly undersized for his position, Saldana has exceptional body control and a high IQ which allows him to score at will. He plays with a confidence that gives him an edge in every game, and also makes him a great leader who his teammates rally around. He's become one of my favorites for 4A Breakout Player of the Year and will have every opportunity to breakout this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
