2021 Cole Middleton (Pace Academy)
6’6 Cole Middleton is the epitome of a walking double/double. Coming off a Junior Campaign in which he helped lead his team to a State Championship while averaging 13ppg/11rpg/2bpg while being named 1st Team All Region as well as All State expect Middleton to be a big stock riser during the next open period. Middleton is the model of consistency and efficiency. He is a beast on the glass and uses his body to create space to secure rebounds both in and out of his area. His second jump timing/speed helps him corral boards others wouldn’t get setting him up to be a double/double on a nightly basis. Really liked what I saw from him when I watched him at the Jared Cook Classic during the season. Does a good job of being patient when he catches in the post prior to making his move. Looked very comfortable the few times he was on the perimeter one time hitting a corner 3 and another putting the ball on the floor and attacking to finish at the rim. He has the potential to be a mismatch nightmare with his ability to make plays from the perimeter as well as score around the basket.

2021 Travis “Deuce” Harper II (St.Anne-Pacelli HS)
If there is a player in Georgia that has a chance to blow up this spring it is Deuce Harper out of Columbus. Standing at 6’6 with a great wing span Harper showed huge strides in his game this season being named 1st Team All Region after averaging 17ppg/6.2rpg. Harper has always had the potential and as of late he has really been putting it all together with the aggressiveness we have always wanted him to have each time down the floor. Harper makes shooting the ball look effortless and has explosiveness athleticism when he attacks off the dribble. Playing for Head Coach Corry Black we know that Harper will continue to see growth in his game over the next few months and with continued work in the weight room to keep getting his body ready for the bumps he will take at the collegiate level do not be surprised with Division I schools come knocking on his door this summer.
