A tremendous student in the classroom with a 4.4 GPA, Gorsuch is definitely a player that academically select schools will want to keep tabs on. Demetrius Kates (5’ 9, PG, Liberty County; 2021) is a sparkplug lead guard with a tight handle and playmaking ability. He was a strong asset in his camp team’s success. A.J. Williams (5’ 10, PG, Southeast Bulloch; 2022) is a promising young point guard who had a good day leading his team as a primary ball handler, shooter, and distributor. His court awareness is beyond his years and is a prospect to keep an eye on for the future. Avion Young (6’ 3, SG, Alcovy; 2021) is an intriguing player with good upside potential. He has nice length and athleticism and with continued perimeter skill development, he has a chance to be a very difficult matchup for opposing defenses. Brodie Clark (6’ 1, CG, Scotland Christian Academy, N.C.; 2021) had an impressive showing at camp. He produced in all three scoring zones while creating opportunities off the dribble for his team. He sees the floor well, can shoot it. Definite sleeper prospect out of North Carolina. Trey Harris (6’ 4, SG, North Paulding; 2022) is a young player who caught our eye. The younger brother of former North Paulding star (and current Univ. of Tampa player) Jacob Harris, Trey has a chance to be a special player in his own right. He has good perimeter skills, a smooth outside shot, and plays with good court awareness. With continued development, the future is very bright for the 2022 prospect out of Paulding County.
2020 & 2021 Wings
Ty Clark (6’ 4, Wing, Kell) is a highly athletic forward with a strong frame and a team first attitude. Somewhat of a late bloomer, he has really blossomed as a player in the past year. His has the physical makeup to be a very good rebounder from the wing and he runs the floor well. He is at his best when slashing to the rim, but is a definite three point threat when left open. His play caught the eye of several coaches in attendance. Josh Spencer (6’ 6, Wing, Alpharetta; 2020) is a long and versatile wing with inside-out scoring capabilities and good intangibles. The high academic target (1280 SAT) is a good spot up three-point shooter and has good touch in the paint. He can guard multiple positions on the floor. With several schools now inquiring, look for his recruitment to trend upward. Kaison Lundy (6’ 4, Wing, Rutherford, FL; 2021) is a long combo forward who shined on the defensive end of the floor. His length allows him to snag lots of rebounds and protect the rim. He did a great job creating second chance opportunities on the offensive glass. Seth Cushenberry (6’ 5, Wing, Druid Hills; 2020) is a burly-wing with a good offensive skill level. He was among the better three point shooters in attendance, but also showed ability to use his size and score on smaller defenders in the paint. Kervens Yacinthe (6’ 4, Wing, Paulding County; 2021) is a talented, albeit raw, prospect with good upside. He has the mobility to play on the wing, with the size and frame to bang in the paint. He looked good when driving to the rim and runs floor well in transition. With continued development, he has a chance to be a very good player. Caleb Williams (6’ 4, Wing, Buford; 2020) is a strongly built wing with good versatility. He is equally comfortable battling in the paint as he is knocking down the corner three point shot. He is a strong finisher at the rim and was one of the top rebounding wings in camp. His academic transcript (3.8 GPA, 1140 SAT) and on-court production makes it easy to see why several schools are showing interest in the Buford product. Kyle Duncan (6’ 4, Wing, Centennial; 2021) is a prospect with good length who produced in a number of positive ways for his team. He has a nice pull-up dribble off the bounce and runs the floor hard. He showed good defensive versatility and was strong presence on the boards. Omari Grant (6’ 3, Wing, Luella; 2021) is a bouncy athlete with skill; he showed the ability to score at all three levels and has the ability to play above the rim. Look forward to following his development as he has a lot of potential.
2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023 Forwards
Zion Gaddis (6’ 8, Forward, Kennesaw Mountain; 2020) is a physically imposing presence with a very large frame. While still developing, there is no denying he has excellent potential as a prospect. He exhibited some nice footwork and agility on defense, ran the floor, and showed a couple of solid scoring moves on the block. Isaiah Pettigrew (6’ 7, Forward, Kennesaw Mountain; 2021) is another big man from Kennesaw Mountain with significant potential. His overall skillset is somewhat raw, however, he has great length and above average athleticism which allows him to finish around the hoop and get out in transition. Defensively, he did a solid job protecting the rim and rebounding the ball. Look for both Gaddis and Pettigrew to continue to make good strides under the watchful eye of Kennesaw Mountain Head Coach Eric Blair. Linnard Cole (6’ 6, Forward, Redan; 2020) is an active big who plays with a good motor. He was a beast on the boards and played great defense in the paint. Offensively, he finished well around the rim and passed well from the post position. Was named All-Dekalb County as a Junior. Marshall Willingham (6’ 4, Wing, Allatoona; 2021) had a nice showing as a hybrid forward. He caused problems for opposing defenses with his ability to play in the paint and on the perimeter. He shot the ball well from three point land and was also a threat to score on the low block. He has good athleticism and is a fantastic student in classroom with a 4.4 GPA. Academic Elite programs should definitely take a close look. Jaxon Welchel (6’ 8, Forward, Adairsville; 2020) is a big body post player who provides solid rebounding and rim protection. He had a few nice putbacks and was able to pin smaller defenders under the rim for scores. Leslie Black (6’ 6, Forward, Bulloch County; 2023) had many of the coaches and evaluators in attendance very surprised to learn he was only a freshman. With physical size and a maturity to his game more typical of an upperclassman, he was a strong scoring presence in the paint and had several monster blocks. At this point, there is no question Black will be one of the top Freshman players in Georgia and with a continued development, a player with a very bright future. Trent Gordon (6’7, Forward, Duluth; 2020) is very athletic player with great leaping ability. He had a couple of the camp’s top dunks and rebounded the ball at a high rate. He plays with great effort and hustle and doesn’t stray outside of his strengths. The attributes are there for him to be a nice addition for a program at the next level.
