He simply does whatever is needed to help his team win and nearly notched a triple-double with 26 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists in their Third-Place Game comeback victory over Southern Wayne. He's a strong-framed guard prospect who can hold his own in a number of ways to make an impact on the floor. DII and DIII programs get eyes on him!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2127718"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6776c1c8a567c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Solomon was impressive for Wayne Country Day as he impressed with his prowess in the frontcourt. He did well to showcase his ability to hold his own in the painted area and make things happen with 21 points and 13 rebounds in the Championship Game over SE Raleigh. He continues to be a top unsigned senior name for DII and DIII programs in the region to know given his skill set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1608343"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6776c1c8a56c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tyler is an underrated point guard prospect who continues to show off his ability to make plays and knock down shots on the perimeter. He impressed with his ability to find teammates for easy buckets while also showing his range/efficiency on the perimeter as a scoring threat. He's another 2026 prospect with WCDS for DII/DIII programs to get eyes on given his activity on the hardwood. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1672426"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6776c1c8a5706"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas was a monster for the Eastern Wayne frontcourt despite the result for them. He showcased his ability to maneuver in the painted area and finish strong in traffic with his athleticism and strength. He put up 30 points and nine rebounds against SE Raleigh and 26 points and 15 rebounds against Northwood Temple is showcasing what he can do as a finisher and presence on the rebounding front. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2626384"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6776c1c8a5748"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harris continues to make a name for himself and solidify a spot in the 2025 rankings when they update in a few weeks with his two-way play. He's a prospect who can defend at a high level then make opponents pay with his ability to finish off the bounce. He put up 21 points, seven rebounds and four steals in their victory over Eastern Wayne on the final day. He's an underrated rebounding presence as well at the guard spot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2690201"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6776c1c8a5789"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bailey is an usigned senior guard who's really stepped up his game in 2024-25. He closed things out with a 31-point, 7-rebound effort for the Warriors despite the result. He showcased his shooting stroke as well as his ability to crash the glass and make things happen when the ball came his way. He's a prospecty for DIII/JUCO programs to get eyes on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1365507"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6776c1c8a57cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Swinney was impressive at the Terry Walls Holiday Invitational for Freedom Christian Academy. He finished with 20 points and 26 points to put together a 23.0 ppg scoring average across two games. He's a crafty scoring guard DI and DII programs should take a chance on given his craftiness and efficiency as a playmaker as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
