SC Frontcourt Forces That Shined During May’s Live Period

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first live period of the 2026 travel basketball season took place last month. Said live periods are always anticipated events on the AAU basketball calendar and there happened to be one that would take place the ensuing month.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A number of states – including North Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, and Arizona all hosted live period events. With as much talent as there is in South Carolina, one had to expect that Palmetto State prospects would certainly put forth stellar performances in front of college coaches.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That was indeed the case – and a number of those names play at either the three, four or five. We spotlight a number of those notables here in our recap of this past weekend's live period.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["875527"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1450352,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a0cee3d87ff8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">FBC Reign 2027 GUAA departed from Georgia's LakePoint Sports Complex having gone 4-0 for the weekend.
