Alabama Prospects Making Early Noise On The Grassroots Scene

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Players across the state are wasting no time making their presence felt this spring. From poised lead guards to versatile wings and impactful forwards, there's a strong wave of talent building momentum early. Here's a detailed look at a few standouts turning heads…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3599170,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/PH-Corion-Marshall-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/PH-Corion-Marshall-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3599170" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Corion Marshall</strong> (5'10/PG/'27/Bama Elites) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Strictly_corion</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @CorionMarshall2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">TikTok: corion17 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Corion is a lead guard with a mature floor game and high PG IQ. He is a skilled lead guard with a strong grasp of tempo and pace. He has really good control in ball screens, a tight handle, and a showed a willingness to facilitate. His ability to get into the paint, make smart decisions, and involve teammates gives him real upside as a true PG. He understands spacing, timing, and angles, and knows where every player should be based on his ability to read defenses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3599178,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/PH-Trey-Mitchell-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/PH-Trey-Mitchell-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3599178" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Trey Mitchell</strong> (6'7/PF/'27/Bama Elites) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Trey.mitchelll</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @TreyMit41476873</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">TikTok: treymitchelll &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">I was really intrigued by Trey's game after seeing him at the Pro16League in Detroit this past weekend. He has positional size and showed to be a low-post presence. He is crafty around the rim when it comes to scoring and passing out of the paint. His ability to see the floor and make timely passes helped him impact the game on offense. He also showed multi-level scoring, by stretching the floor with his three-point shooting. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3599182,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/PH-Braylen-Alexander-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/PH-Braylen-Alexander-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3599182" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2889558' first='Braylen' last='Alexander']</strong> (6'4/Wing/'29/Alabama Truth)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Braylenalexander_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Brayalexander_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Braylen is one of the top 2029 class players not just in the state but in the country, and his name is being discussed in many rooms across the country at all levels. His scoring ability and arsenal are really good and quickly approaching elite level. He is playing extremely confidently right now, and his ability to score in a variety of ways is creating a lot of problems for opponents, as he is an extremely tough cover.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3599183,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/PH-Xavier-Beavers-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/PH-Xavier-Beavers-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3599183" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2889160' first='Xavier' last='Beavers']</strong> (6'3/CG/'29/Alabama Truth)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: 2010.Zay_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @BeaversXavier11</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Xavier is a young talent who is having a stock rising spring thus far. There was some hesitancy in his game with his school team last season, but he is not settling with this Alabama Truth squad. He is one of the team's primary scorers while still shouldering the responsibility of running the show. His main identity is as a floor general, but his added aggressiveness as a shot-maker has elevated his game early in this grassroots season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3599184,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/PH-Cody-Coachman-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/PH-Cody-Coachman-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3599184" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2729430' first='Cody' last='Coachman']</strong> (6'1/SG/'27/SMB)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: I_am_codycoachman</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @codycoachman</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Cody is an off-guard who is really good at hunting his shot and scoring from all levels. He continues to show his ability to score in bunches and create his own offense, whether by using ball screens or getting to his spots in isolation with his quickness off the bounce. He is tricky to contain in space due to his changing of rhythm when attacking off the dribble. He has a score-first mindset, and as I hinted earlier, he continually hunts his offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3599185,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/PH-Caileb-Wilson-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/PH-Caileb-Wilson-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3599185" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2748377' first='Caileb' last='Wilson']</strong> (6'1/CG/'28/SMB)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: cwilson_the1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @cwilson_the1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Caileb had a solid weekend on the Pro16League in Detroit this past weekend. He continues to impact the game on both ends of the floor, which has become a consistent thing when it comes to his on-court performance. His offensive game continues to improve, as he shows increased aggressiveness in attacking downhill, and putting his defenders on their heels. Despite tweaking his ankle, he shot the ball extremely well from behind the arc, and if that can become a consistent source of production for him, it will immediately raise his stock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
