Tooper made the cross-town move from Fort Mill to Catawba Ridge in June. The Yellow Jackets didn’t have a ton of depth last season, so Caleb was an important piece, and I expect his interior scoring presence and ability to play bigger than his size defensively to translate for the Copperheads.

Led his team in scoring at 22.8 PPG. Dynamic scorer who scores the ball in multiple ways. Attacks the basket aggressively, creates his own shot off the dribble, and shoots confidently from the perimeter. Reliable three point shooter. Played with great pace and consistently made big plays throughout the weekend.

Tooper might not be the flashiest prospect in the rankings when it comes to size, speed, or vertical ability. However, he does play bigger than his listed height because of how persistent he is in the paint. Caleb is very much a grinder when on the floor, which could add a key element for the Yellow Jackets in 2025-26.

Caleb had a strong scoring outing for the Fort Mill Force despite a loss on Saturday. He worked really hard early to finish in the paint and set up his teammates. Tooper displayed his vision with the ball, activity off the ball, soft touch, and strength through contact. Despite not having a major size advantage, he lived in the paint and was very efficient with his touches. Caleb finished with 17 points in the game, but the development of a consistent three-point shot could add another level to his game and make him a complete scorer.
