Charlotte, NC (Future150) -- When looking at the 2019 class, you can't deny the talent that is oozing out of the east coast. Both North and South Carolina have surefire and potential high major prospects by the handful. A few of these being Future150 Camp Alumni's. Lets take a look at some of the top 2019 recruits in the Carolina's right now, and how their recruitment stands.
Christian Brown, CF, AC Flora, South Carolina: Since this summer started Brown has been playing like a man. Running with the Georgia Stars on the EYBL circuit, and putting up some gaudy numbers, he saw high major offers start to fly his way. With offers from the likes of Georgia, Florida, Florida State, and Kansas among others, he looks to be the hype man of this star studded class from the Carolina's.
Wendell Moore, SF, Cox Mill, North Carolina: Moore is known for his selfless play on the court, fantastic rebounding abilities, and his fantastic versatility at 6'5". Offers from North Carolina, NC State, Georgia, and Tennessee are already on his list. While other blue bloods like Duke and Kentucky have shown interest in him for quite some time now. A huge sophomore season under Coach Barbee at Cox Mill may earn him those other blue blood offers and even more.
Juwan Gary, SF, Gray Academy, South Carolina: One of the Future150 Alumni's in this article, Gary has solidifed himself among the elite in the 2019 class. His freak athleticism stood out to us back in 2014 at our Elite24 Camp, and is still something his game thrives off of today. His rebounding abilities on both ends are exceptional for a wing, and you can almost guarantee a finish at ir above the rim if you let him get into the lane. Holding offers from Clemson, UNLV, and Western Kentucky it seems like this is only the beginning for the Columbia native.
Joey Baker, G/F, Trinity Christian, North Carolina: Like Christian Brown, Baker has caught tons of attention since the beginning of the summer. Running with Team Felton 17U team on the UAA circuit, he has impressed greatly being able to play the two, three, and four positions at 6'7". His offensive game has always been impressive, his improvement on the defensive end is what really stood out to others. With his size and length he has the potential to be a defensive nightmare at the next level. He holds offers from the likes of Clemson, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia Tech among others, and has seen Kentucky, and North Carolina show interest.
Josiah James, CG, Porter-Gaud, South Carolina: James has not been talked about as much as the previous guys since he runs with TMP Elite on the AAU circuit and does not get as much attention as guys on Nike, Under Armour, and Adidas. Make no mistake, this kid can play. At 6'5" he has great size for both guard positions and excels in multiple areas on the floor. His offer list of Charleston, Charleston Southern, Georgia Tech, and Tennessee is just the beginning. Keep your eyes out and ears open this coming high school season as he is poised for a huge year at Porter-Gaud in Charleston.
B.J. Mack, F/C, Charlotte Christian, North Carolina: Last but certainly not least in this article, we have B.J. Mack. Another alumnus of the Future150 Elite24 Camp, he has continued to grow and get stronger over the past two years. Now at 6'8" and around 250 pounds he is starting to have legit size for a high major frontcourt prospect. Having a smooth touch around the rim, and being able to run the floor at his size is something college coaches love to see. Georgia, NC State, and Virginia Tech have already extended the big man an offer and he should see plenty more come his way during his upcoming sophomore season at Charlotte Christian.
