2026 | Zyree Brown | Sewer South

2026 PG Zyree Brown has been dominant early this spring for Sewer South. Brown is a quick, shifty guard that can score it in bunches. Brown does well creating shots after bringing it up the court around the mid-range or finding his way to the basket for the easy lay-up. Brown stays active on the boards on both ends, paying dividends for quick points in transition or easy putbacks around the rim. Once Brown gets going offensively, it’s hard to slow him down. Stock riser heading into the summer months.

2026 | Anderson Carey | Hoop Atlanta

2026 6’1″ G Anderson Carey had some big time games during the first live period of the year. Carey is a tough guard that does well getting downhill, protecting the basketball and finishing at the basket. Carey’s outside shot was falling consistently throughout the weekend, knocking down multiple 3-pointers each game. A high academic guard that will be a great addition to a college program at the next level.

 

2025 | Brandon Castillo | E5 Elite

2025 G Brandon Castillo is an unsigned senior that should be on coaches radar’s that need a last minute pick-up heading into the 2025-26 season. Castillo had several 20+ point games, finding his way at the basket while scoring through contact and finishing with crafty lay-ups. Castillo’s outside shot is worth taking note as he has a quick shot off the catch and stays ready in anticipation of the pass. Defensively, Castillo does well staying in front of his defenders, making it hard for his opponents to get by him.

 

2026 | Chase Dupree | Warner Robins All-Stars

2026 G Chase Dupree was a name that was constantly brought up throughout the weekend. Dupree easily had one of the higher field goal percentages throughout the weekend with his selective shot making and his ability to score over his defenders. Dupree was able to assess the court and find holes in the defense. Dupree has a high-motor; running the court and actively seeking the ball in transition. High flying prospect that should be on college coaches radars.

 

2026 | Nathan Earl | Team Persons

2026 G Nathan Earl is a name that has been trending this spring with his play. Earl can easily put up 20+ points a game against tough competition with his scoring ability. Earl knocked down 6 3-pointers in one game, and has stamped his name as being one of the best shooting guards in his class. Following the live period, Earl picked up a D1 offer from FGCU. Expect his recruitment to pick up heading into the summer live period events.

 

2026 | Aaron Ekwere | Georgia Stunners

2026 6’6″ SF Aaron Ekwere is a name to know heading into the summer. Ekwere has picked up offers and interest from several D1 schools, and it’s only just the beginning. Ekwere out of Finland is a high-flying, high-motor wing that can score it all over the court at a high level. A must watch, physical prospect that will be trending over the next few months.
