August 3rd, 2025 | Proehlific Park – Greensboro, NC
The AAU Select Tour made its much-anticipated stop in Greensboro, North Carolina for the North Carolina District Select Camp and the energy in the gym did not disappoint. With over 90 athletes in attendance from all across the state, Proehlific Park was filled with talent, competition, and the drive to get better.
Throughout the day, players were evaluated in a variety of settings, drills, skill stations, competitive matchups, and live gameplay. As always, our staff was locked in on the traits that truly translate to the next level: motor, coachability, feel for the game, and consistency across both ends of the floor.
After careful consideration and thorough evaluation, we’ve selected a group of high school standouts who caught the attention of our staff in multiple categories. These selections are based on performance at this specific camp, and reflect players who consistently separated themselves throughout the day.
That said—not being listed as a standout does not mean a player didn’t show value or talent. Many players had strong moments and will continue to trend upward as they develop and grow into their game. We appreciate and respect the work every athlete put in, and our team takes pride in making sure all players leave each camp with something they can use to get better.
Carter Pardue
6'3" | 2028 | Small Forward | East Wilkes High School
Carter Pardue made a big impression with his physical presence and confidence on the wing. He plays with toughness and intensity, never backing down from contact or competition. His ability to knock down shots from multiple levels separated him from the pack. At 6'3", his frame and strength give him a clear edge in his class. He consistently competed with purpose and focus, showing flashes of two-way potential. Pardue is without question a player to keep close tabs on in North Carolina's 2028 class.
Ayden Barrett
6'6" | 2028 | Power Forward | Wilkes Central High
Ayden Barrett showed why he’s one of the more intriguing long-term prospects in the gym. Standing at 6'6" with a smooth stroke and excellent vision, he displayed flashes of playmaking ability and floor spacing as a stretch forward. His calm demeanor and positive attitude stood out, especially in drills and team segments. While still growing into his frame, his skillset and versatility already make him a tough cover. As his strength and coordination improve, so will his dominance on the court. Barrett’s upside is tremendous.
Zachariah Stancil
5'10" | 2026 | Guard | Montgomery Central
Zachariah Stancil is a gritty, full-court pest on defense who set the tone with his relentless energy. He takes pride in locking up ball-handlers and never lets up on effort. Heading into his senior year, he played with urgency and hunger, eager to prove he can impact games in multiple ways. Whether it was applying pressure, grabbing key rebounds, or making the hustle plays, Stancil showed he can do the little things that win games. Coaches took notice of his willingness to compete and lead on the defensive end.
Zion Harmon
6'0" | 2028 | Guard | New Life Academy
Zion Harmon brings a rare mix of strength, motor, and feel that make him hard to miss on the floor. His ability to grab a rebound, push the break, and finish through traffic made him one of the most consistent transition scorers in the camp. On defense, he swarms the ball and always seems to be in the right position to create chaos. Harmon plays with confidence and maturity beyond his age. If he continues to grow physically and sharpen his skillset, he will be a serious problem in the 2028 class.
Jan Sam
2027 | Guard | Myers Park High School

Sam is the type of player that every winning team needs—focused, physical, and steady.
Gad Delp
2029 | Guard | Salem Christian Academy
Gad Delp played like a veteran, bringing a spark with his energy and scoring ability from the first whistle. One of the youngest at camp, he showed advanced instincts and an elite shooting touch off the catch. Delp was always moving without the ball, finding pockets of space and being ready to let it fly. He also proved he can initiate offense and create for others when needed. Whether he was diving for loose balls or splashing spot-up jumpers, his impact was always felt. His future is very bright.
Luke Newman
6'0" | 2029 | Guard | Caldwell Academy
Luke Newman is a composed, crafty scorer with a calm presence that belies his age. He has a natural feel for when to attack and when to distribute, making him effective as both a lead guard and secondary playmaker. His shot-making stood out, especially from beyond the arc where he knocked down threes consistently. Luke plays the game with a high IQ and brings leadership energy that teammates feed off. He looks the part of a young player with major long-term upside.
Caleb Sandling
2028 | Guard | Corinth Holders High School
Caleb Sandling plays the game the right way, always looking to make the smart play. He can create offense for himself and for others, using good pace and timing in his reads. His energy is consistent on both ends of the floor, and he’s not afraid to mix it up defensively. Caleb showed he can knock down the three with confidence and understands spacing well. He’s a true glue guy who values winning over stats. With continued growth, he’s the kind of player that helps programs build culture.
