Terry Copeland Jr (Trained2Go/Good Sheppard Academy/Irvington, NJ) 2024 6’7 PF/C
Terry Copeland Jr looked like he could have been playing SEC football as a 7th grader. This is a mountain of a kid that is stronger than most grown men. He cleaned up the glass well and made it tough for opponents to convert around the rim. We loved how, despite his size, Terry ran the court for easy buckets but also was able to score off rebounds and post-ups. This young man has division one size as a seventh grader, so as he continues to grow expect this young man to contin

Kobe George (Team Felton/Ben L Smith HS/Greensboro, NC) 2023 6’2 PG
Kobe George is “Mr. Efficient”. He doesn’t force anything and picks his spots in scoring when it’s his turn for a bucket. Kobe can be played at either guard position and rarely turns the ball over regardless of the pressure being applied. What we really loved was Kobe’s clutch gene. When the lights were on and his team desperately needed a bucket Kobe made a huge left-handed game-winning finish. We are looking forward to seeing this young man at the Fresh Outta Middle Invitat

Joshua Bullock (NC Red Storm/Northern Nash HS/Rocky Mount, NC) 2023 5’11 G
Joshua Bullock is a key piece to one of the most impressive 2023 backcourts at the NYBL Finals. This smooth but tough combo guard had the handles and confidence to make hard plays look simple. He converted difficult contested finishes around the rim all weekend long. Still having a couple of years to continue to improve his skillset, we know for sure this young man will be making an instant impact in his high school. #NYBLFinals #GMRHoops #GetMeRecruited

Athan Gill (Team Felton/West Rowan HS/Salisbury, NC) 2023 6’3 PF
Athan Gill doesn’t mind trying to throw it down on an opponent’s head. He loved to get out in transition so he could play above the rim but also did an excellent job of contributing on the glass. Athan has a strong motor which helped him outwork opponents for rebounding position. While gobbling up boards, Athan finished well with putbacks, absorbing the contact around the rim. His full versatility was on full display for everyone to see as he even drilled a couple of looks fr

Takorrie Faison (NC Red Storm/Goldsboro HS/Goldsboro, NC) 2023 6’4 PF
With NC Red Storm having a plethora of guards to choose from, Takorrie Faison was the muscle in the middle controlling the paint. This strong big man has a good motor and runs the court exceptionally well for someone his size. When a shot went up it was a must to dedicate a body to him on a box out, and sometimes one person wasn’t even enough. This young, agile big man put himself on our radar as someone we should continue to track. #NYBLFinals #GMRHoops #GetMeRecruited

Jaylen Curry (Team United/Vance HS/Charlotte, NC) 2023 5’11 G
Jaylen Curry is a long, left-handed combo guard that loves to attack the rim. He knows how to set up defenders for quick blow-bys and uses his length well with an array of strong finishing moves around the basket. However, Jaylen will have to control the negative connotations of his body language. Being one of the leaders through the toughest of times comes with the life of being the point guard. Once Jaylen fully accepts that role he will be continue to improve his stock as

Tahaad Pettiford (Train2Go/The Patrick School/Newark, NJ) 2024 5’7 PG
Tahaad Pettiford has some serious game. This shifty point guard has an extremely tight handle and managed to get wherever he wanted on the floor at the NYBL Finals. His basketball IQ made it seem as if he was seeing the game a step or two ahead of everyone else on the floor. Tahaad was able to orchestrate the offense and knew how to bait all the attention to himself so he could deliver a quick kick out or drop off assist. When getting into the paint he kept his head up and ma

Caleb Foster (Team Felton/Hickory Ridge HS/Harrisburg, NC) 2023 6’3 CG
Hot 100 Middle School Showcase Allstar Caleb Foster had one of the most impressive showings during the NYBL Finals. This attacking combo guard came off the bench as the 6th man both times we saw him. From the moment he checked in the game Caleb was focused on being an instant scoring threat. His duel guard spot versatility along with a strong basketball IQ made Caleb a major piece in the offensive scheme. We also loved how Caleb was shot ready, low with his hands up ready to

Jarred Hall (EAB Tennesse/Lebanon HS/Lebanon, TN) 2023 6’4 SG
Jarred Hall is a long, versatile forward that proved at the NYBL Finals he can hurt you from the perimeter or in the paint. When defended by smaller players he worked them from the post. When it came to opposing big men, they had trouble keeping Jarred in front of them as he blew by from the wing. A workhorse, he was also able to battle for rebounds and came up with plenty. Jarred’s skillset earned him a Fresh Outta Middle School invitation. #NYBLFinals #GMRHoops #GetMeRecrui

Alik Lewis (Team Felton/Eastern Alamance HS/Burlington, NC) 2023 5’11 PG
Hot 100 Middle School Showcase alum Alik Lewis made it clear that he’s a guard to watch in North Carolina’s 2023 class. He has a tight handle and enough confidence in his jumpshot to let it fly from deep. This was evident in the way he made big time clutch shots all weekend long. His skillset allowed him to play on and off the ball. Alik also did a great job of penetrating to draw the attention of the defense before kicking it to open shooters. Team Felton 2023 have establish

Cameron McClain (Louisville Magic/Trinity HS/Louisville, KY) 2023 6’2 G
Cameron McClain proved during the NYBL Finals that he belongs in the conversation as one of the top scoring guards in Kentucky’s 2023 class. He was patient, didn’t force anything and worked his way into the most efficient spots for his team. When open looks presented themselves Cameron didn’t hesitate to burn the defense. While attacking the rim he kept his eyes up and found open teammates in better position to score. This young man skillset and scoring ability deserved an in

Jakai Newton (DCA Stacy/Newton HS/Covington, GA) 2023 6’0 G
Jakai Newton was one of a few strong pieces in DCA’s backcourt during the NYBL Finals. This kid can be played on or off the ball while being equally effective at both guard spots. His handle allowed him to freeze defenders as he worked his way to the rim where he finished pretty well once in the paint. Jakai held down his defensive rotation responsibilities in the press and capitalized on bad passes made by the opposing team by converting layups and assists. This young man im

Rico Walker (Team United/Hickory HS/Hickory, NC) 2023 6’3 PF
We all love a big man that plays with a lot of energy. This is exactly how Rico Walker earns his time on the floor. His athleticism and strong body makes it tough to keep him off the glass. If he is not accounted for and boxed out on every possession, he’s coming up with another rebound. We also loved how he could finish the extra touches around the rim while absorbing contact. Great size, great energy, and a great program...recipe for another great prospect to watch for. #N

Ni’jay Lee (East Coast Elite/C.M. Eppes Middle/Greenville, NC) 2024 6’1 PF
One thing that the GMR staff absolutely loves is passion and energy. At the NYBL Finals, Ni’Jay Lee had a motor that never seemed to stop. That strong work ethic puts him in the same category as some of the more talented players. He outworked the opposing big men for extra possessions and sprinted the court hard in transition. If Ni’Jay’s overall skillset ever matches up with his motor then this young man will be an absolute terror for the next couple of years. #NYBLFinals #G

Hot 100 Middle School Showcase Allstar Jaiden Thompson is really starting to blossom. At the NYBL Finals Jaiden handled ball pressure well and was able to get the team in the correct offensive set to negate the defense. When it was time to look to score he didn’t force anything but utilized his shiftiness to work defenders on his way to the paint. When getting in the lane Jaiden unleashed a quick pull up or finished them off at the cup. This is another 2023 prospect from a st

Team Breakdown 2023 is a roster full of future D1 prospects. They walked away with the championship of the NYBL in a loaded field of extremely competitive teams. One of the key reasons for their success was the play of their point guard Marvell Allen. He was able to get the team in their right sets and handled all types of different looks from the defense. Marvel’s versatility was on full display as he played both positions in the backcourt and defended the one, two, and the

Ezra Burgess (Asheville Game Changers/Tuscola HS/Waynesville, NC) 2023 6’2 PF
Ezra Burgess reminds you of a throwback type of player. He doesn’t mind getting into the paint and doing all of the dirty work most players hate. Whatever it took for his team to get an extra possession Ezra was willing to do. When receiving the ball in the post he did do a good job finishing well through contact. This kid is just the type of hard-nosed glue piece that every successful team needs. #NYBLFinals #GMRHoops #GetMeRecruited

Team United 2023 is loaded with guard play. But Christian Hamilton has found his niche by taking the assignment of locking up the other team’s best guards. We loved that he took pride in his defense, sitting down and moving his feet, forcing opponents to get the ball out of their hands. He has good court vision while attacking and makes the right decision more times than not on when to look to score or find the open teammate. This kid’s energy and passion at the NYBL Finals e

Tarik Watson (NY Dragons/The Patrick School/Newark, NJ) 2024 6’6 PF
The 2019 NYBL Finals was loaded with talented big men. When you find a prospect a year younger than other elite players and still standing out as far as skillset and stature, then you know you’re on the trail of a gem. Tarik Watson was an absolute workhorse on the glass and did an excellent job of battling for rebounds in his area. His strong body made it tough for others to box him out and when the ball came off the rim Tarik was there to snatch it out the air. When opposing
