2027 6-4 F A’kiryon Watkins – SACA
Soon to pop up on scouting reports, A’kiryon Watkins shined with HoopDreams Athletics over the spring and transferred to Southwest Atlanta Christian after dominating the paint in the GIAA, posting 20.7 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 3 steals and 1.8 blocks at Bulloch Academy. Watkins is a hard-working, high-motor forward who plays much bigger than his height. A’kiryon is an explosive leaper. He’s physical on the block, capable of scoring over and through defenders with drop steps. His toughness will be a major boon for a talented SACA team.

2028 6-3 G Jaden McCullough – Pace Academy
Coming off a season at Holy Innocents’ in which he upped his production to 17.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, landing offers from Oregon, Virginia Tech and Cincinnati over the offseason, Jaden McCullough has major momentum heading into his first season at Pace Academy. McCullough slides in perfectly as a true guard who not only can handle the ball against pressure and make plays for others, but can go and get a hoop when needed. Jaden shot 43% from three as a sophomore. He blends sharpshooting with an explosive downhill attack. McCullough is another versatile piece with good size for his position who should help the Knights contend for another deep playoff push.

2027 5-9 G Jamin Martin – King’s Ridge
Jamin follows his head coach father to King’s Ridge after stops at Pickens and Calvary Day. Martin is unsurprisingly a high IQ shooter who is automatic when his feet are set. Aside from his shooting prowess, Jamin is also good at reading plays before the develop. He relocates to find openings along the perimeter as a shooter and is equally as adept at creating three-point looks for others with his ability to penetrate and kick. His floor spacing can swing the momentum of a game in heartbeat.
