In a recruiting landscape constantly searching for length, versatility, and long-term upside, 2027 forward Rowan Woodrich is quickly emerging as one of Georgia’s most intriguing under-the-radar prospects.

The 6-foot-9 Peach County standout possesses the type of physical profile that immediately catches the eye. With his combination of size, mobility, and developing skill set, Woodrich impacts the game on both ends of the floor and continues to show significant growth each time he steps on the court.

What separates Woodrich from many of his peers is the progression he has made over the last 12 months. The Peach County forward has transformed from a promising young prospect into one of Middle Georgia’s fastest-rising players. His development earned him First Team All-Region honors while attracting increasing attention from coaches and evaluators throughout the Southeast.

While statistics only tell part of the story, Woodrich’s production has become impossible to overlook. During the 2025-26 season, he delivered multiple double-digit scoring performances against quality competition and established himself as one of the premier rim protectors in Georgia’s Class AAA ranks. His length, timing, and instincts around the basket allow him to alter shots and anchor the defense while still possessing considerable room for growth.

Beyond the measurable attributes, Woodrich brings an impressive level of competitiveness to the floor. He plays with a consistent motor, runs the court well, rebounds outside his area, and embraces physicality in the paint. As his offensive game continues to expand and his perimeter skills develop, his versatility projects extremely well at the next level, where multi-positional forwards are increasingly valuable.

Woodrich further elevated his profile last week at GBCA Live, where he generated considerable buzz among college coaches and evaluators in attendance. Competing against many of the state’s top prospects in the Class of 2027, he showcased the continued development that has made him a name worth tracking on the recruiting trail.

His success extends well beyond basketball. Woodrich carries a 4.0 GPA and has expressed aspirations of competing at the Division I level while pursuing an elite academic education. His goal of attending an Ivy League institution reflects the discipline, maturity, and long-term vision that make him especially appealing to college programs.

As recruiting continues to evolve, players like Woodrich often become some of the most valuable evaluations. He may not yet receive the attention of some nationally ranked prospects, but his combination of size, academics, work ethic, defensive impact, and developmental upside makes him a player that college coaches should have firmly on their radar.

With another season approaching, expect Rowan Woodrich’s recruitment to continue trending upward. Today he may be considered one of Georgia’s best-kept secrets in the Class of 2027, but that distinction is unlikely to remain for long.

ROCK HILL, S.C. — Day three of the 2026 NBPA Top 100 Camp provided another opportunity for the nation’s elite prospects to compete against high-level talent, and several players separated themselves from an already strong field. By the conclusion of camp, Beckham Black, Cayden Daughtry, Isaiah Hamilton, Demarcus Henry, and Yann Kamagate earned First Team All-Camp honors, while Ahmed Nur was recognized as the camp’s Most Valuable Player.

Few players generated more buzz throughout the week than Ahmed Nur. The skilled forward consistently impacted games on both ends of the floor, showcasing his versatility as a shooter, rebounder, and playmaker. Nur’s ability to produce efficiently while competing with a relentless motor made him one of the most difficult matchups in attendance and ultimately earned him MVP honors.

Cayden Daughtry solidified his reputation as one of the premier lead guards in the Class of 2027. Daughtry controlled the pace of games, made advanced reads in pick-and-roll situations, and consistently created opportunities for teammates. His combination of speed, shot-making, and leadership stood out every time he stepped on the floor.

Beckham Black was one of the most complete perimeter players at camp. The versatile point guard displayed a polished offensive package, knocking down perimeter shots while also using his craftiness, his ability to use both hands in the paint and fearlessness to finish in the paint. Defensively, Black embraced difficult assignments and proved capable of guarding multiple both guard positions.

Isaiah Hamilton continued to show why college programs across the country have prioritized him on the recruiting trail. The explosive wing played with confidence throughout the week, scoring in a variety of ways while putting pressure on defenses with his ability to attack the paint. Hamilton’s blend of athleticism, motor and toughness made him one of the most productive players in attendance.

Demarcus Henry’s stock continued to rise thanks to his versatility and two-way impact. The athletic wing consistently made winning plays, whether it was finishing in transition, knocking down perimeter shots, or defending multiple positions. Henry’s energy and competitiveness were evident throughout every session thus creating a buzz with the college coaches.

One of the most intriguing long-term prospects at camp was Yann Kamagate. The talented big man displayed excellent mobility, rim protection, and touch around the basket. His ability to run the floor, alter shots, and finish above the rim made him one of the top frontcourt performers of the week.

Jordan Page once again showed why many evaluators consider him one of the most skilled wings in the 2027 class. Page’s ability to score from multiple spots on the floor while facilitating for teammates allowed him to impact games in a variety of ways. His feel for the game and basketball IQ consistently stood out against elite competition.

Additional standout performances came from Reese Alston, Micah Gordon, Antonio Pemberton, Chase Lumpkin, Khaharri Coleman and Dooney Johnson, all of whom delivered strong stretches throughout camp and demonstrated why they remain among the most respected prospects in their respective classes.

Rockhill, SC – The first session of the 2026 NBPA Top 100 Camp featured some of the nation’s top prospects from the Classes of 2027 and 2028, and several players wasted little time making their presence felt. With every court loaded with high-major talent, the players who stood out were the ones that consistently impacted winning, competed on both ends, and produced against elite competition. Here are the players who caught our attention during the opening session in Rock Hill.

Jordan Page | 2027 Wing

Jordan Page was one of the most explosive players in the gym during the opening session. The athletic wing constantly put pressure on the defense by attacking downhill, finishing through contact, and creating opportunities in transition. His activity level stood out on both ends of the floor, and he played with the type of confidence that immediately grabs your attention. Page’s ability to impact the game without needing plays called for him was impressive.

Cayden Daughtry | 2027 Point Guard

Daughtry looked comfortable running the show against elite competition. He consistently made the right reads, controlled pace, and showed excellent balance between facilitating and looking for his own offense. The talented floor general played with poise beyond his years and was one of the more productive lead guards we watched throughout the session. His decision making and command of the game separated him from many of his peers.

Reese Alston | 2027 Point Guard

Alston continues to prove why he’s considered one of the top guards in the 2027 class. He showcased his ability to score from all three levels while also creating quality opportunities for teammates. What stood out most was his feel for the game and his ability to make the right play at the right time. He looked every bit the part of a high-major point guard.

Ricky Moore Jr. | 2027 Shooting Guard

Moore had one of the more efficient scoring performances of the session. He knocked down perimeter shots, attacked driving lanes when available, and competed defensively throughout the day. His ability to play within the flow of the offense while still producing points was impressive. Moore consistently found ways to impact the game without forcing the action.

Chase Lumpkin | 2027 Combo Guard

Lumpkin’s versatility was on full display during the opening session. Whether operating as a primary ball handler or playing off the ball, he made winning plays and showed good instincts. His size, strength, and ability to defend multiple positions added value on the defensive end. Lumpkin continues to establish himself as one of the more complete guards in the class.

Paul Osaruyi | 2027 Power Forward

Osaruyi brought toughness and physicality every time he stepped on the floor. He controlled the glass, protected the rim, and consistently finished around the basket. His motor never seemed to slow down, and he embraced doing the dirty work that doesn’t always show up in the box score. Among the frontcourt players, few had a bigger impact on winning possessions.

Demarcus Henry | 2027 Small Forward

Henry showcased an intriguing blend of size, athleticism, and skill. The versatile wing scored from multiple areas of the floor while also contributing as a rebounder and defender. He played with great energy and impacted the game in a variety of ways. His two-way versatility continues to make him a prospect worth tracking closely.

Antonio Pemberton | 2027 Point Guard

Pemberton’s quickness with the basketball immediately stood out. He consistently got into the paint, created advantages for teammates, and showed the ability to change speeds effectively. His confidence as a playmaker helped keep defenses on their heels throughout the session. Defensively, he competed and brought good energy every possession.

Micah Gordon | 2027 Point Guard

Gordon turned in one of the more complete performances among the point guards in attendance. He controlled tempo, made smart decisions, and displayed strong leadership qualities throughout the day. His defensive pressure created several easy opportunities in transition, and he rarely looked rattled under pressure. Gordon simply played winning basketball.

Dooney Johnson | 2027 Wing Guard

Johnson was one of the most productive wings during the opening session. He knocked down shots from the perimeter, attacked closeouts aggressively, and used his athleticism to make plays in transition. His confidence and aggressiveness stood out against a talented field. Johnson continues to show why he’s one of the more highly regarded wings in the class.

Declan Griffiths | 2027 Wing Forward

Griffiths impacted the game across the board. He scored when needed, facilitated offense, rebounded his position, and consistently made smart basketball plays. His ability to stretch the floor while also competing inside created matchup problems throughout the day. Griffiths’ versatility remains one of his biggest strengths.

Logan Chwastyk | 2028 Center

One of the younger players who stood out during the session was Chwastyk. The 2028 big man battled older competition and more than held his own. He established position early, rebounded at a high level, and finished efficiently around the basket. His physicality and willingness to compete were impressive for a player still early in his high school career.

Kevin Savage III | 2027 Point Guard

Savage brought a steady presence to the point guard position. He made smart decisions, kept his team organized, and consistently made the right play. His composure under pressure and ability to impact the game as both a scorer and facilitator helped him stand out. Savage looked comfortable competing against some of the nation’s top guards.

Yann Kamagate | 2028 Center

Kamagate was easily one of the most intriguing long-term prospects in attendance. At over seven feet tall, he altered shots around the basket, ran the floor well, and flashed developing offensive skill. His mobility and length make him a unique prospect with tremendous upside. As he continues to develop physically and refine his skill set, his ceiling remains extremely high.

Final Thoughts

Day one of the NBPA Top 100 Camp delivered exactly what was expected  elite competition and plenty of standout performances. The guard play was exceptional throughout the opening session, while several frontcourt prospects also made strong statements. With multiple sessions remaining, these players have positioned themselves among the early standouts and will be names to watch as camp continues.

The Under Armour Circuit continues to showcase some of the premier young talent in the country, with multiple prospects elevating their stock through strong spring performances. From established stars to emerging names, the depth across the grassroots landscape has been on full display.

One of the biggest names making noise has been 2028 standout JL Williams of B Maze Elite 16U. Williams continues to prove why he belongs firmly in the Top 25 conversation nationally within his class after another dominant weekend on the Under Armour Next stage. Consistently producing 20-point, 10-rebound performances, he has become one of the most productive forwards on the circuit. Defensively, his presence was equally impactful, highlighted by a remarkable nine-block outing. Williams combines polished post moves with the ability to stretch the floor and knock down perimeter shots, making him an extremely difficult matchup offensively.

In the 17U division, Darrell Davis of Team Thrill has arguably been the most consistent point guard on the circuit thus far. Davis controls the tempo of the game with maturity beyond his years, excelling as both a facilitator and scorer. His ability to create opportunities for teammates while also taking over offensively when needed has made him one of the more complete guards in attendance. On the defensive end, his relentless ball pressure disrupts opposing offenses and sets the tone for Team Thrill. Simply put, Team Thrill goes as Davis goes.

Another key performer has been Jarvis Hayes Jr. of Atlanta Xpress 17U. Hayes serves as the engine for his squad, and when he is locked in, Atlanta Xpress becomes one of the more dangerous teams on the circuit. His ability to penetrate the defense, create scoring opportunities, and impact the game in multiple ways stands out every weekend. Although his outside shot was not falling consistently during this past session, Hayes still found ways to contribute to winning basketball. His versatility to effectively play all three perimeter positions may ultimately be his greatest strength.

One of the most talked-about players nationally this spring has been 2029 forward Draydne McDaniel of Pro One 16U. The 6’8” small forward has emerged as one of the premier young prospects in the country while helping elevate Pro One into one of the top teams on the UA Circuit. McDaniel’s blend of size, athleticism, competitiveness, and two-way versatility makes him a dynamic player to watch. He impacts the game in transition, around the rim, and defensively with his ability to guard multiple positions.

Another standout in the 2029 class has been Quinton Wilson of Atlanta Xpress 16U. Wilson brings a smooth, controlled pace to the game that opposing defenders struggle to speed up. He has proven to be highly effective as both a catch & shoot threat or a scorer off the dribble, while also finishing efficiently at the rim. Wilson is averaging 18.3 points per game while shooting an impressive 49 % from the field and 49 % from three-point range, showcasing his efficiency and scoring ability.

Another intriguing long-term prospect emerging on the circuit is 2029 wing forward Bronx Ganaway of KC Run GMC.

At 6’8”, Ganaway possesses the size, mobility, and perimeter skill set that immediately catches attention. His versatility on both ends of the floor continues to flash significant upside, especially as a player capable of operating on or off the ball. The tools are clearly there for him to develop into a high-level prospect.

As Ganaway continues to physically mature and add strength, particularly finishing through contact and establishing himself more consistently around the rim, his overall production and impact should continue to rise. With his combination of length, athletic tools, and skill development, Ganaway looks every bit like a potential high-major prospect in the making.

Hamilton OH – One of the biggest stock risers in the country this spring continues to be Draydne McDaniel, who is making a serious case as the country’s No. 1 overall player in the 2029 class.

Since joining Pro One 16U on the UA Circuit, the 6’8” forward has elevated nearly every aspect of his game. McDaniel’s combination of physicality, versatility, length, and athleticism has consistently separated him from his peers. More importantly, he has embraced a larger offensive and defensive role, showing improved decision-making, expanded scoring ability, and greater consistency throughout games.

Through eight games this spring, McDaniel is averaging 17 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, and 1.3 steals per contest while helping guide Pro One to a strong 6-2 record. His play has already begun drawing major college attention, recently earning an offer from University of Alabama. As his development continues, McDaniel is rapidly becoming one of the most highly discussed young prospects in the nation.

I am loving the journey with pro one! feel as if it was the best fit for me in my journey right now. i have adjusted to doing more things so at prolific prep, work was always being put in so when it was my time to shine i was ready! i’ve already worked on it behind the scenes, just had to apply it in the game. enjoying the journey.

For the first recruiting Live Period of the 2026 spring/summer, I made my first-ever visit to check out the New Balance P32 league.  The P32 League has only been around for a few summers, but it is steadily picking up steam in terms of organization, support from the brand, and talent displayed on the court.  The action took place at the newly built Children’s Health Starcenter Multisport in Northlake, Texas, right outside of Dallas, which is equipped with eight full basketball courts and two hockey rinks.
Standouts
 
Alex Alexander 6’9 2029 Max Level Elite Dallas
Alexander was probably the best prospect in the building.  Only a freshman, he played on the 17u level and made an impact with his size, speed, and athleticism.  The talented lefty can stretch the floor if left open when his feet are set, but he’s at his best when his motor is on full go.  The young forward delivered some big-time dunks in transition and when slashing through the zone from about 15ft and in.  He showed a level of maturity by hardly ever getting rattled, and playing within his game.
Ronnie Sealleaze 6’3 2027 Play Hard Play Smart
A combo guard with a good frame who just gives the feel that he will be an undervalued west coast guy that some program will snatch and win plenty of games with.  He didn’t speed past people or jump over the top of them.  Instead, Sealleaze made great decisions with the ball and managed to constantly find his way into the lane.  Sporting a body that will look great once he finishes filling out, he created space with his shoulders, valued possessions, and came up with a ton of 50/50 balls.
Jalen Brown 6’5 2027 Midwest Renegades
One of the higher-ranked players in the building, Brown has a lot of ability, but sometimes he does too much chasing after the ball instead of sprinting the floor to make himself available for easy buckets.  The talent comes in his ability to slash and spring up over defenders for mid-range looks.  Brown also did a good job of creating his own looks off the dribble, outside of being a willing passer.  When he was good on Friday morning, his team thrived to a win with Brown being the primary offensive catalyst.
Averi Knight 6’0 2028 DC Assault  
The small guard was a fan favorite over the weekend amongst the evaluators in attendance.  Knight stayed poised as he clocked big minutes with the 17u group. Equipped with a good IQ and a crafty ability to finish in the paint.  He pushed the ball end to end while displaying a knack for finishing at the rim with his off hand through contact.  Knight rarely got caught over-dribbling, and he managed his team’s possessions very well, which is what coaches want to see when it comes to the next level.
U-Mier Graham 6’7 2026 Northeast United
There were not many players in the 2026 class that stood out over the weekend, but Graham is definitely one who is worthy of being on a college roster come next year.  His college-ready body and brand of physical play made him effective at finishing in the paint and above the rim.  Sort of a hybrid forward, but would have a better chance of thriving when lining up at the power forward spot, where he could take advantage of putting the ball on the deck.
Chris Hunt Jr. 6’2 2027 Max Levels Elite Dallas
The herky jerky movements the lefty shows when working off the dribble, the long arms and speed burst, put you in the mindset of Brandon Jennings.  Hunt proved that he could score it in bunches, including from behind the arc.  When the game slowed down, so did he, proving that he can put people in position to score.  His long reach was also effective on the defensive side of the ball, as he harassed ball handlers, which resulted in a few open-court steals and dunks.

One of the more intriguing long, athletic forwards in the 2026 class, Chris Washington Jr. has made his decision choosing to head to the University of Tennessee. Washington has made significant strides at Providence Christian Academy (TN) and his commitment over programs like Auburn Tigers men’s basketball, USC Trojans men’s basketball, Villanova Wildcats men’s basketball and others marks a major step in his journey. Washington is originally from Gainesville, FL.
We caught up with the Volunteer commit to talk about his growth, mindset, and what separates him from the pack.


Q: What’s been the difference in your growth from last year to now?
Washington: “I have gotten a lot stronger since I been up here.”

That added strength has shown up in his ability to play through contact, finish at the rim, and hold his own defensively. Pair that with his natural length and athleticism, and it’s easy to see the jump.


Q: What’s your developmental focus this season and your goals?
Washington: “Just to keep getting better every day so I can accomplish my dream, which is to make it to the NBA.”

The focus is simple but effective—consistent daily improvement. Washington is locked in on long-term success, keeping the NBA as his ultimate goal while embracing the grind it takes to get there.


Q: Tell me something people don’t know about you.
Washington: “I love to fish when I’m not hooping.”

Away from the court, he enjoys slowing things down—something that helps balance the intensity he brings between the lines.


Q: Who is your favorite player?
Washington: “Giannis, LeBron, and KD.”

His influences speak volumes. From versatility and dominance to skill and length, Washington models parts of his game after some of the most impactful players in basketball.


Q: Who helped you make your decision?
Washington: “Me and my family.”

Keeping his circle tight, Washington leaned on family throughout the recruiting process, ultimately choosing a path that felt right both on and off the court.


Q: What separates you from other players at your position?
Washington: “I work harder than my opponent.”

It’s a mindset rooted in effort and consistency. With his physical tools already standing out, that approach to the game could be what truly elevates him at the next level.
