7. @KayzzinMcdowell is a diamond in the rough. Coaches should visit Byrnes HS this season! He is a long 6’2 guard. Plays hard. Knock down shots. Talks on D. Expect him to be huge this season as Byrnes tries to win a TOUGH 5A region. They have other notable pieces as well.
2. @powdersvillebbb will have high expectations. Top 5 or Top 3 - 3A in SC. @nicksweet_13 is the real deal, a coach’s dream - pass, score, talks, lead, play D, and rebound. @CadenDKreger@Jack_Hurst00 add shooting, length, and rebounding. They have a FORCE down low in Hayden!!!
9. We had two guys who traveled in to compete. One being @Chrisean05 (Keenan HS) Expect Keenan to make it to State Semi-Finals with his leadership. This kid can hoop!!! And SNEAKY athletic. Chase down blocks, and attempted multiple FURIOUS tomahawk slams.
4. Shannon Forest put people on notice during the summer and last night. PG @PaladuguNolan - HIGH IQ, pass 1st, strong frame, play passing lanes, and can knock down open shots. @bwilk2023 was their leading scorer (18 PPG) and expect same results this season. Has range as well.
Hosted 1st showcase. Highly talented guys. I will tag them below, but want to thank the coaches who popped in - Bob Jones, Piedmont, Anderson, Erskine, Converse, Southern Wesleyan, and Limestone.
8. Two guys every team needs - @Johnathanwhyso2 (Wren HS) and @carsonfreeze_2 (Easley HS). HIGH IQ dudes who do what is needed. Some nights the stat sheets will show it and some nights it won’t. But their impact is HUGE! Loved Johnny’s size, frame, and ability to stretch the O.
3. Eastside is led and will continue to be led by @Justin_Ray2024 . He’s a Fan Favorite. He’s an athletic scoring guard, who knows how to get his teammates involved as well. He’s has a running partner who will light it up on the wing in @mroberts_055 - pure shooter!
