Bing had some eye-opening moments during Pace Academy’s run to a state championship this winter, and he’s carried that over to the AAU season with TSF. His effort around the basket is hard to match. Bing is a high-motor guy who embraces doing the dirty work. He’s a guy that leads to wins.
Cooke checks a lot of boxes on the court. He has for a while now. A guard with a strong frame, Cooke brings so much versatility to the floor. He thrives in physical games, and he does his part in rebounding wars. Cooke has shown the ability to score from multiple levels consistently, and he’s not going to shy away from taking and making big-time shots.
A true PG, Caleb Thomas is quick with the ball and gets to spots to put himself and his teammates in advantageous situations. He balances scoring and distributing well. Thomas utilizes his floater to his benefit on drives, and he can step out and knock down the 3-point shot too. Pebblebrook (GA) has produced some great guards in the past, and Thomas looks like he’s going to be next in that lineage. I’ve been impressed by him this spring, and look forward to seeing his progression.
Obvious but necessary. Caleb Wilson is already a national commodity in the 2025 class. He’s already been invited to USA Basketball events, and he’s widely regarded as one of the top-30 players in 2025. He’s living up to expectations. Playing up with the 17U Georgia Stars, Wilson fits right in playing with and against older competition. He looks bigger, and his skill set is as vast as ever. This could be a monster spring for his recruitment.
Ogunyemi has been thriving with the Atlanta Celtics for a while now. He surged locally last year during the summer, and he looks to be in for another outstanding season with the Celtics. He’s so productive around the basket on both ends of the floor. Ogunyemi is physical with a great motor. While he’s as good as he is in the paint, he can also head out to the perimeter and thrive there as well. There are a few players on this team that could pop in some regard this spring, and Ogunyemi is one of them.
Foster’s recruitment is starting to get rolling early. The Atlanta Celtics guard had an outstanding showing at the Hoop Hustlers Tip-Off Classic and picked up offers from Georgia and Georgia State shortly after. He’s shown projectable upside in the past, and that’s starting to materialize with more reps and sample size. Foster is a gifted scorer that can shoot the ball well and use his athleticism to his advantage when attacking the basket. Certainly a name for more coaches to jot down. He has a next-level frame at the guard spot as well.
