 Jayden Stone 6’3” SG (Central Park/Team Carroll Premier 2020) is the new face and may be the best player in the class. He hasn’t been in America too long but has already made a name for himself in Alabama. He has a complete game and can score on all levels.

 The Southern Spring Invitational, hosted by Team Carroll Premier, is one of the best events in the south hosting over 300 teams at the Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center. It’s a good measuring tool to evaluate most of the young talent in the state as they go ahead to ahead.

 If you’re a state of Alabama high school basketball fan, you should have heard of Josh Roberts before. Well then again maybe you haven’t. In today’s world of recruiting it’s hard for prospects to go unnoticed.
 It might be a little too early to be ranking the class of 2020 but this group of freshman is very talented. Most of the kids listed lead their respective high school teams in either scoring or rebounding while all of them are starters. There is even room to add a few more to the list but we will wait to see how they all pan out in the future before we expand the list too early. [Read Here]
