2028’ Davis Winters has all the tools to impact the game and help his team win. The 6’3 combo guard plays for Western Albemarle High School in Charlottesville, Virginia, and played a key role in their success this season as they advanced to the state semifinals. In his second year as a varsity player, Winters improved just as much physically as he did technically. At 6’3, 180 pounds, he already has a college-ready frame to go along with a quick burst that allows him to cover ground and play with pace. He operates with great feel, consistently getting downhill and touching the paint while staying under control, playing off two feet, and finishing with either hand around the rim, whether in the half court or pushing in transition. Winters possesses one of the smoothest jump shots in the state, with quick, clean mechanics, a high release point, and the ability to get it off in an instant while always staying ready to shoot. Playing alongside talented guards like 2026’ Jack Castner and 2027’ Sam Seaborn, Winters serves as the glue of the lineup, willing to play off the ball, find open teammates, or handle pressure and make the right play. Defensively, he never gives up on a possession, consistently hustling back to block shots or create key deflections that lead to transition opportunities. He also uses his frame well to compete on the defensive glass and secure important rebounds. It’s clear Winters has a natural feel for the game and an innate ability to help teams win. With a big summer ahead on the EYBL circuit with Boo Williams 16U, expect Winters to continue rising toward the top of the 2028 class in Virginia @davis_winters23 @BooWilliamsAAU @Uorangemen2 @jwherron10 @_TomKeller @NorfolkKnights

Khiry White is a 6’4 freshman forward and one of the most intriguing young prospects in South Carolina. The Class of 2029 standout plays for Irmo High School in Columbia, South Carolina and helped lead the program to a strong 20-8 record while advancing to the third round of the SCHSL 5A Division II State Tournament. White averaged 11|6| and 2 stocks per game while shooting an efficient 53 percent from the field, consistently flashing his upside on both ends of the floor. Offensively, White thrives attacking the basket, using his length, body control, and athleticism to get downhill, create paint touches, and finish effectively around the rim. He runs the floor hard in transition, where he is a constant threat for highlight dunks, and shows the ability to handle the ball well for his size, beating defenders to the spot. While still developing as a perimeter scorer, he has fluid shooting mechanics with a high release point that make his midrange jumper difficult to contest, and with continued development, he projects to become a reliable shooter from all levels. White also impacts the game on the glass, using his length and vertical explosiveness to crash the offensive glass for putbacks and second chance opportunities. Defensively, he uses his burst and long arms to jump passing lanes, generate deflections, and serve as an effective weakside rim protector. With his combination of athleticism, length, and natural feel for the game, White is a name to watch closely this spring with Team USC and throughout the rest of his high school career @Khiwitdabutter @CoachQuillen4 @AndrewBaxleySC @Uorangemen2

Elijah Williams is a 6’7 unsigned senior and one of the most intriguing prospects in Virginia. The versatile forward from Leesburg, Virginia plays for Evergreen Christian School and averaged 15|5|2 with 2 steals per game while shooting 53 percent from the field this season. Williams played a key role in leading Evergreen Christian to a VISAA Division III State Championship win over Stuart Hall School, showcasing his ability to impact winning in multiple ways. With a college-ready frame and a versatile skill set, Williams checks all the boxes that college coaches look for. Offensively, he can handle the ball on the perimeter, beat defenders off the dribble, and finish effectively in the paint with either hand. He also shows strong playmaking ability, delivering difficult passes to open teammates and creating easy scoring opportunities. His length allows him to get his dribble pull-up off cleanly, making it difficult for defenders to contest while still posing a threat to attack the rim. While he is still developing as a consistent three-point shooter, he has smooth mechanics and fluidity that project well at the next level. Williams combines agility and change of direction with strength, allowing him to get to his spots, create paint touches, and finish through contact with confidence. Defensively, his length and mobility give him the ability to guard multiple positions and disrupt plays. Williams is a highly projectable unsigned prospect, and college coaches should be prioritizing him as he continues to prove he can produce and win at a high level @ECS_BBall @Elij1h @Uorangemen2 @PrepHoopsVA @jwherron10

Jayden Brown emerged as a breakout star in Virginia this past season. The 6’3 combo guard from Charlottesville, Virginia plays for St. Anne’s-Belfield School and took a massive leap from his sophomore year, stepping into a leading role after the departure of four scholarship-level players and head coach. Under first-year head coach Marcus Dixon, Brown exceeded expectations, averaging 22|4.3|2|3 stocks per game while posting multiple 30-point performances, including a 43-point outing in December. His play earned him Second Team All-State, First Team All-VPL, and All-VPL Tournament honors. Offensively, Brown thrives as a shot creator, scoring at a high level off the dribble by knocking down contested jump shots or attacking the rim and finishing acrobatically through contact. He has a natural feel for scoring in transition, whether beating defenders down the floor or finding angles to finish around the basket. On the perimeter, he is comfortable shooting from all ranges and angles, both off the catch and off the dribble. Defensively, Brown has long been regarded as one of the top perimeter defenders in the state, frequently matching up with the opposing team’s best player. Even with an increased offensive role, he remained a standout on that end due to his instincts, length, and relentless motor. His two-way ability has earned him multiple Division I unofficial visits, and he will continue to gain attention from college programs heading into the spring and summer live periods @JaydenBr21 @CoachMDixon @STABHoops @locallegendsRVA @PrepHoopsVA @Uorangemen2

Jack Castner is one of the best shooters in the entire state of Virginia. The 6’4 guard finished his senior season for Western Albemarle in Charlottesville, Virginia, and has solidified himself as one of the top players in the state. As a senior, Castner has put together a dominant season, averaging 17 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals per game while shooting 48% from three and 57% from two. He earned Region 3C Player of the Year honors, First Team All-State recognition, and secured his second Jefferson District Player of the Year award while leading Western Albemarle to the State Tournament. Following an impressive summer with Virginia Premier, Castner drew interest from several high-level Division II and Division I programs and has continued to build on that momentum during his senior year. Western Albemarle put together an outstanding 22–5 season with a state semifinal berth. Castner’s impact starts with his elite shooting ability, knocking down 48% of his three-point attempts this season, while also showing a willingness to compete on the glass, using his length and instincts to create extra possessions. While not an overwhelming athlete, he separates himself with a strong fundamental base, excellent footwork, and the ability to play off two feet, allowing him to consistently generate clean looks. He is one of the most dangerous off-ball players in the state, forcing defenses to sell out on his movement and creating opportunities for his teammates. With the ball, Castner plays with a smooth, controlled pace, creates quality shots, limits turnovers, and makes timely reads as a passer. Defensively, he brings elite effort and strong instincts, often playing at the top of Western’s zone presses where he generates deflections and interceptions. A true coach’s dream, Castner’s combination of shooting, feel, and consistency makes him a high-level prospect who should continue to see his recruitment rise this spring.@j_cast11 @CoachStitzel @jwherron10 @Uorangemen2

6’4 Tristan Smith is one of the best unsigned prospects available in Virginia. The long combo guard has played a major role in leading Albemarle High School to the top of Class 5A in Virginia, finishing with a 24–2 record and making a second straight appearance in the state tournament while producing 14 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks per game during his senior season. Offensively, Smith uses a tight handle and a shifty change of pace to get to his spots, never looking sped up with the ball and consistently taking advantage of defensive mistakes. His high release point leaves defenders out of position and unable to contest his jump shot, and he has proven to be a reliable perimeter scorer, knocking down pull-ups, step-backs, and spot-up looks with efficiency. He cuts hard to the rim for easy baskets and displays excellent body control, finishing through contact on contested drives. Defensively, Smith stands out for his elite instincts and constant activity, disrupting passing lanes, anticipating plays before they develop, and using his length and feel to contest shots, protect the paint, and force difficult attempts. His motor and postseason-level intensity impact winning on both ends of the floor every night, and his strong summer play, combined with an outstanding senior campaign, has earned him seven scholarship offers from multiple Division II and Division III programs. As his senior season wraps up, Smith looks like a prospect ready to make an immediate impact at the next level @Tristan_smith4 @AlbemarleHoops @Uorangemen2 @PrepHoopsVA @jwherron10

As a lifelong UVA fan, I've had the privilege of watching a lot of special players—but in this one short season, Dallin Hall completely stole the show in my eyes. He led them to an amazing 30–6 record, finished second in the ACC, and led the ACC in AST/TO.

2027 Makai Ragland is a 6’6 combo guard from Charlottesville, Virginia who stars for Albemarle High School and led them to an outstanding 24-2 record, winning the regional championship and earning a state tournament berth. Ragland returned this season with a clear mission to lead his team at a high level and has backed it up with a dominant year. He possesses one of the fastest crossovers in the state and combines it with rare agility and fluid movement for his size, consistently blowing by defenders and finishing creatively around the rim. He is one of the top offensive rebounders in the state and thrives through contact, generating frequent and-one opportunities. Ragland also shows excellent feel as a playmaker, delivering timely passes including skip passes and creative reads in traffic to create open looks for teammates. He has proven to be a reliable three-point shooter, knocking down catch-and-shoot opportunities from deep, while also showcasing an effective pull-up game in the mid-range that is difficult to contest at his size. On the defensive end, Ragland uses his burst and anticipation to jump passing lanes and turn turnovers into transition opportunities. His length allows him to contest shots at the rim and make impactful weakside plays as a shot blocker. One of the most intriguing prospects in Virginia’s 2027 class, Ragland is expected to draw significant attention this spring as he continues to build momentum and position himself for multiple scholarship opportunities @434makai14 @AlbemarleHoops @VaPrepRivals @theCBGLive

6’4 guard Sebi Boyogueno is one of the most impressive players in the entire state of South Carolina. The unsigned senior plays for Riverside High School in Greer, South Carolina and has helped lead the program to a 25-4 record. Boyogueno is a matchup nightmare, combining a tight handle with elite speed to blow by defenders, get downhill with ease, and finish through contact using strength and excellent body control. He plays with a college ready frame, consistently creating space to score at the rim or elevate for a jumper, and despite standing 6’4, he shows powerful two foot vertical athleticism that allows him to rise and finish above the rim like a forward. He pairs that finishing ability with a consistent jump shot featuring quick, smooth mechanics, capable of knocking down threes off the catch or dribble while also using defenders’ closeouts against them to explode on back cuts. Boyogueno has recently earned an offer from Augusta University, further validating his production and upside. He thrives in transition, turning defense into offense with fastbreak dunks and relentless end to end effort, and his strength, motor, and activity allow him to guard every position on the floor while generating deflections, turnovers, and difficult rim contests. He recently surpassed the 1,000 point mark in his high school career, consistently crashes the offensive glass for extra possessions, and has recorded multiple 30 point performances this season. With his relentless energy, physical tools, and impact on winning, Boyogueno closed his high school career as one of the most dynamic and productive players in the state and will continue to draw attention from college programs as he takes the next step. @sebiboyogueno @PrepHoopsSC @RhswarriorH @AndrewBaxleySC

Owen Jackson led the entire state of Virginia in scoring this season, averaging 33.6 points per game which ranked ninth nationally according to MaxPreps. The 6’4 Class of 2028 wing from Max Meadows, Virginia plays for Fort Chiswell High School and powered the program to a 24–5 record. Jackson recently broke the Virginia High School League state championship game scoring record previously held by Mac McClung, erupting for 53 points in the VHSL 1A State Championship matchup against Luray. Jackson’s stat line of 33.6|8.3|3|1.7 highlights his all-around production while shooting an efficient 55 percent from the field and 37 percent from three in his young high school career. Earlier this season Jackson became the fastest player in VHSL history to reach the 1,000-point mark and has already surpassed 1,500 career points. Offensively he has a unique feel for scoring, using his long frame to get downhill, absorb contact, and consistently get to the free throw line. His driving presence opens up his perimeter game where he runs effectively off screens and can knock down threes both off the catch and off the dribble while also showing a strong midrange pull-up game. Despite leading the state in scoring he also displays strong playmaking instincts, finding open teammates and keeping others involved within the offense. Defensively Jackson uses his quick burst to jump passing lanes and create transition opportunities while also using his length around the rim to contest shots and record weak-side blocks. In addition to his rising basketball profile Jackson is also a talented baseball player, making him one of the most intriguing young multi-sport prospects in the state @OwenJackso92392 @FortVarsityBB @Uorangemen2 @uhaprospects @PrepHoopsVA

Kris Woods is a 6’0 combo guard with a deep offensive bag and one of the more intriguing young skill sets in Virginia. The sophomore from Waynesboro, Virginia recently completed his season at Eastern Mennonite High School in Harrisonburg, Virginia where he averaged 18|3|4|2 while playing an important role for the Flames. Woods has shown significant improvement each year and emerged as a primary scoring option for the program this past season. Still only a sophomore, he continues to develop physically after growing four inches since his freshman year and should only keep progressing as his body and game mature. Woods is at his best attacking downhill under control and reading what the defense gives him. In a matchup against eventual state champion Miller School of Albemarle he scored 20 points, creating several impressive buckets off the dribble against one of the top defenses in the state. He consistently makes the correct read, whether that is rising for an open pull up jumper or getting downhill to create a paint touch. His dribble pull up game and ability to change pace are major tools in his scoring arsenal. Once he gets into the paint he shows crafty footwork and body control that allow him to maneuver around defenders and finish at the rim. Defensively Woods brings quickness and activity, using active hands to pressure the ball and jump passing lanes to create turnovers. Woods is currently exploring a move to a new program for his junior year and has also shown interest in reclassifying to the class of 2029. After flashing advanced offensive skill at a young age he is a name worth watching closely across the state moving forward @kriswoodss @Uorangemen2 @ProspectScouti1 @CoachJavon

Unsigned 6’7” SG Brandon Brazell is one of the most entertaining prospects in the state of Florida. The long, athletic wing from Martin County High School in Stuart, Florida recently capped a decorated high school career with over 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, and 100+ blocks. As a senior, Brazell averaged 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists per game while producing three stocks per night and delivering consistent highlight-reel moments. With his long frame and advanced shot-creation ability, he gets to his spots comfortably and elevates over defenders with a smooth, difficult-to-contest pull-up jumper, while his quick burst and vertical explosiveness make him a constant lob threat and a dangerous finisher on putbacks. Off the ball, Brazell plays with great activity and spacing awareness, keeping defenses engaged throughout possessions, and he is a legitimate perimeter threat with deep range both off the catch and off the dribble. In transition, he leverages his length and athleticism to finish above or through defenders, and he also shows strong feel as a playmaker, making sound reads and finding open teammates within the flow of the offense. Defensively, he matches his offensive impact by moving well laterally for his size, using his length to disrupt ball handlers, jumping passing lanes, and protecting the rim as a weakside presence with multiple blocks per game. Brazell is a high-upside prospect to monitor this spring as he looks to make an immediate impact at the next level @Brandon24skunk @FloridaHoops @prephoopsfl @rawerecruits

By all means, @_jonasagyeman_ is a flat-out winner who will help teams win in any way possible! Here's my full thoughts⬇️ instagram.com/p/DVrpnlhDn5M/…

Unsigned Class of 2026 point guard Marquise “Sin” Fordham is an absolute winner. The senior guard from Charlottesville, Virginia has spent the past three seasons at Tandem Friends School, showing steady year-to-year growth from a quick combo guard into a true leader capable of taking over games. Fordham is averaging 10|8|2|2 while guiding the Badgers to one of their best starts in recent history against an increasingly challenging schedule featuring several of the top teams in Virginia. Offensively, he impacts the game at every level, forcing defenses to respect his quick pull-up and step-back three from deep while using sharp changes of direction and pace to break down defenders, create quality looks at the rim, and find open teammates at the right moment. He has proven he can play both on and off the ball, thriving as a spot-up shooter and secondary creator. Defensively, despite being listed at 5’9, Fordham is one of the most disruptive players on the floor, consistently picking up full court, forcing 5 and 10-second violations while rushing offensive players with relentless pressure, quick feet, and nonstop energy. He maintains discipline throughout possessions, applies constant ball pressure, and uses his quick burst to strip opponents and generate turnovers from help positions @marquise_j60437 @ProspectScouti1

Bryce Harris is a 6’1 true point guard from Newport News, Virginia who plays for Denbigh Baptist Christian School. After transferring from Hampton Christian Academy, Harris immediately elevated the program, leading Denbigh to its first-ever state quarterfinal and semifinal appearances and ultimately to a state championship game berth, where they fell in a hard-fought battle to Banner Christian School. He averaged 21.5 points, 5 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 2.3 steals per game, impacting the game in every phase. A shifty guard with the ball on a string, Harris has smooth shooting mechanics and can score at all three levels, both off the catch and off the dribble, even through contact. His dangerous pull-up game forces defenders to press up, allowing him to get paint touches where he can either finish softly off the glass or find open teammates. Comfortable playing with both hands, he delivers creative left-handed passes and keeps defenses off balance. Despite not being overly physical, his motor shows in his rebounding numbers, as he is one of the top rebounders on his team. Defensively, he moves his feet well, beats opponents to spots, contests shots effectively, and stays disciplined without fouling. His play has earned attention from multiple Division II and Division III programs, and Harris is focused on continuing to elevate his game and recruitment this spring and summer while establishing himself as one of the smoothest guards in the 757 @TheBryceHarris
