Leading the way in the class of 2024 is AC Reynolds High School guard Rakease Passmore. The 6-foot-four guard helped Reynolds to the first round of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association playoffs a few days ago. Passmore is one of the most athletic players we have seen in a few years coming out of the mountains of Western North Carolina. He announced on Twitter that he will be running on the Adidas 3SSB circuit with Garner Road basketball club. Passmore has been able to show off his shooting ability and his ability to get to the rim off the bounce. He has some offers from ACC schools along with some mid-major offers at this time. He is tracking to be the top prospect in the 2024 class.
