  • 1. DeWayne Brown 6'9 C | Hoover, AL | Hoover HS | Florida Rebels | University of Tennessee

    DeWayne is simply a beast. his work ethic and dedication is evident with how in shape he's gotten over the years and it's only getting better. He has a rare soft touch around the rim for his size. He's also light on his feet with good footwork which makes post moves look effortless for him at times. Couple that along with his strength and size, you get problem in the paint.

    DeWayne avg. 11pts, 6reb and was one of the more effecient players on the EYBL circuit.

    DeWayne participated in the USA Basketball training camp.

  • 2. Simon Walker 6'5 SG | Huntsville, AL | Huntsville HS | Pro One | Auburn University

    Simon had a big summer racking up offers and playing up in 17's with Pro One. He's a really good shooter from deep and his mid range game is really underrated. He has a really good understanding of who he is as a player, which make him even better. He has a solid handle that allow him to handle some PG role when needed.

    Simon has added ball-handling to his ability to shoot making him more of a three-level scorer and more of a threat.

  • 3. Salim London 6'4 CG | Hoover, AL | Hoover HS | Georgia Stars | UAB

    Salim is the quiet assassin. He's probably the most consistent and efficient guard on the list. He's a high IQ, cerebral guard that can play in a system and free lance and do his own thing and be just as good. He's a proven scorer on all three levels and he's a winner.

    Salim avg 15pts, 4asst, and 3 reb in the EYBL this season.

  • 4. Jacoby Hill 6'4 CG | Phenix City, AL | Central HS | Team Scoot | Jacksonville State University

    Jacoby is the most dynamic player in the class with the most upside. He's shown flashes of brilliance but there is still another gear we feel like he hasn't tapped into yet. He can score in bunches and at all three levels with ease. One on one he's nearly unstoppable. His counter moves keep the defense off balance, all while being an above average passer. When he's locked in, his opponent is in trouble.

  • 5. Kaden Rickard 6'7 W | Madison, AL | Bob Jones HS | Pro One | Murray State University

    " Versatile three-level scorer with skill and IQ. He can control and dominate a game in a variety of ways from start to finish. "

  • 6. Josh Scott 6'6 SG | Fort Payne, AL | Fort Payne HS | Pro One | Lipscomb University

    " Josh has one of the highest ceilings and could be higher on the list. His game translates to the next level with ease. At 6'6 with a consistent three-point shot and solid athleticism, he does all the intangible things well. His ability to move without the ball and be effective set him apart. "

  • 7. Emmanuel Clarton 6'5 CG | Livingston, AL | Sumter Central HS | AL Fusion | Troy University

    "Emmanuel is the epitome of a DAWG. He can score with the best of them with his craftiness, but he's a true competitor and can really impact the game with his defense."

  • 8. John David Gossett 6'5 CG Huntsville, AL | Huntsville HS | AL Fusion | Lipscomb University

    " JD is a big CG, that can play wither position and impact the game. He's the ultimate team player and glue guy. "

  • 9. Jacobe Whitted 6'6 CG McCalla, AL | McAdory HS | AL Fusion

    Offers: Jax State, Tennessee Tech, Samford, Jacksonville, AAMU

    Jacobe is a versatile wing that can play many roles and he's a valuable guy with a lot of intangibles that contributes to wins. He can guard several positions, score inside out and he doesn't need the game to go through him to be effective.

  • 10. Braylon Patton 6' PG Hueytown, AL | Hueytown HS | AL Fusion | University of North Alabama

  • 11. Jarett Fairley 6'2 CG Hoover, AL | Hoover HS | AL Fusion

    Offers: Robert Morris

    Jarett had one of the best summers in the state avg 17pts in the EYCL and helping AL Fusion qualify for the EYBL Peach Jam.

  • 12. Peyton Wiggins 6'2 CG | Birmingham, AL | Huffman HS | AL Fusion

    Offers: Jacksonville State, LA Tech, Troy

    Peyton had a really good summer in the EYBL. He showed the ability to lead early on in his career, helping take his team to a state championship game as a freshman. This summer was about buckets. He shot the ball with confidence from three and he's good at getting to his mid range spots where he can make defenders pay. Defensively he's a beast and his leadership qualities are second to none.

  • 13. Jayden Williams 6'6 CG Birmingham, AL | Ramsay HS | Pro One | Georgia Southern

    Jayden is another versatile combo guard with length, skill, passing and scoring ability. This year will be a big year for him to be a huge impact player in the state. He’s another player who could see himself rise above a lot of the players ahead of him by Christmas.

  • 14. Brayden Rivers 6'6 W | Huntsville, AL | Huntsville HS | Pro One | UNC Ashville

  • 15. Desmond Williams 6'3 SG Mobile, AL | Baker HS | Pro One | University of South Alabama

  • 16. Jeremiah Wilson 6'5 CG | New Market, AL | Buckhorn HS | AL Fusion

    Offers: Alabama A&M, Tenn Tech, Kennesaw State, Tusculum

    Jeremiah has made huge strides over the past 6 months and still has one of the highest upsides in the class. At 6'5 he can play either guard position. He's more of a scorer than a shooter, but when he's hot, he can manufacture points in a hurry. He's also a more than capable on ball defender with his length and quick jumping ability to block and alter shots.

  • 17. Josh Bowman 6'9 PF Huntsville, AL | Huntsville, HS | Pro One | UT Chattanooga

    Josh is one of the most valuable players in the state because he's not stat driven and his value can be more intangible than anything. He displayed solid offensive skill set last year as a sophomore, but defensively he was a monster. Can't wait to see his growth from this summer displayed throughout the season.

    Josh continues to develop into more than just a impact guy, as his offense has picked up tremendously, you have to guard him out to three point range.

  • 18. Bryson Berry 6'1 PG Dothan, AL | Dothan HS | Team Dr1ven

  • 19. Devin Barksdale 6' PG Jacksonville, AL | Gadsden City HS | AL Generals

    " Devin is a winner and a electrifying scorer. He's a crafty shot-maker that can create off the dribble. "

  • 20. Fred Derrick 5'11 PG New Market, AL | Buckhorn HS | Team Carroll

    " Fred is a high IQ PG that is a proven winner and more than capable leader. When the game is on the line he may be the best player in the state. "

  • 21. Dakarion Bryant 6'6 SG | Huntsville, AL | Jemison HS

    Dakarion has just as much talent and upside as any kid on the list. I would argue that he's probably the best shooter in the class. This year he could solidify himself as a mid to high major prospect. Consistency and dedication will play a major role in how high he goes. The sky is the limit. Don't be surprised if he creeps up higher on the list as the season goes on.

  • 22. Jaylen Chandler 6'7 CF Florence, AL | Florence HS | AL Generals

  • 23. TJ Pruitt 6'5 CF Huntsville, AL | Jemison HS | Team Mookie

  • 24. Austin Coner 6'1 PG Pinson, AL | Pinson Valley HS | Team Carroll

  • 25. Raymond McCants 6'5 SG/W Birmingham, AL | Clay Chalkville HS | Stars Basketball Club
