Rank   Name   Position     Height            Weight   AAU/School           College(s)

1 - TJ Warren SF              6'8"      220Garner Road/Brewster       NCSU, UNC, UK, Georgetown, Florida...
One of the most prolific scorers NC has witnessed since JamesOn Curry. 3's, mid range and getting to rim at will are all in his arsenal. Don't expect a letup from TJ though, his upside and work ethic is unheard of. Once he spends some time working on toning his body and athleticism, his college stay will not be of the extended nature. 

2 - Rodney Purvis      SG      6’3”185CP3/Upper Room            NC State,Missouri
Powerful and athletic shooting guard that helped lead CP3 to the final four at AAU Nationals alongside a bevy of Top 100 talent. Developing his jump shot and point guard skills should allow him to play his desired position at the highest level(s).

3 - Torian Graham   SG     6’4"       180DC Assault/CP3                     NC State
Very athletic shooter who has a bit of streakiness to him. His final ranking will be a testament to his upcoming high school season, as his AAU season has been marred with injury.

4 - Braxton Ogbueze     SG/PG       6’0”              175Charlotte Royals/UFCA    Florida
Braxton is an explosive, strong, combo guard with a scorer’s mentality.  He has a complete offensive game; 3's, dribble drives, pull ups, floaters, he does it all!  Point guard skills are developing.  

5 - Aaron Rountree        SF     6’8"    205Carolina Elite/GreenfieldWake Forest
Length, size and athleticism could truly create a dangerous long term prospect. Jump shot has improved, but still could use some consistency, when that happens, watch out!

6 - Tyler Lewis      PG      5’11"    165Oak Hill/Team Loaded            NC State
A true definition of a point guard. He took the title as the top lead guard in the state and quite possibly the nation.  Tyler runs a team like a seasoned veteran.  He can also score at a high rate.  His improved jump shot has opened up his game to new levels going into one of high school basketball's most storied programs. Stock should continue to soar over the next year.

7 - Codi Miller-McIntyre        PG/SG     6’3"    185      Carolina Elite/HargraveWake Forest
Strong, athletic scoring point guard that will be a matchup nightmare at the college level for smaller defenders. He is a humble kid, with what seems like a strong work ethic and character. He should be a contributor from Day 1.

8 - Montrezl Harrell        PF     6’8"    220Carolina Elite/Hargrave           Virginia Tech
Is a beast, plain and simple. Problem is, he is only a beast, when he chooses to be. The hope is that Hargrave will push his game back in the direction which made him so special as a rising Sophomore; Rebounding, blocking shots and dunking everything in sight. Getting back to his bread and butter will be focal to prepare for what could be a big impact for Virginia Tech down the road.

9 - Terry HendersonSG     6’4.5"     175Garner Rd/Neuse   MD, WVU, UGA, Richmond, UNCC, VT
Our argument all spring has been that Terry is a no-brainer high-major target. Solid handle, a big time jump shot and high level athleticism created a dangerous mix for the burgeoning wing. Late bloomer that could still use some time in the weight room. His only weakness; is his weakness, but he proved in his recent matchup with a Top 10 nationally ranked foe, Archie Goodwin, that he could hang, and in this particular instance, outplay a major player in a prime time setting as AAU Nationals. Recruitment has exploded with several recent high major offers.

10 - Montarius Hall     PF      6’7"    210Victory Christian/Team Charlotte
Montarius is perhaps one of the biggest questions in the NC's 2012 class. Hall had a chance to certify himself as a legitimate lower level ACC target. Injury, sickness and a few more setbacks put that once achievable mark in question. Hall is step out four with skill and athleticism. A very intriguing prospect that will be interesting for the high majors to monitor during the season if he chooses to wait until the spring.
