Unranked to Unstoppable: Sean Van Dorn Jr.’s Journey to D1 Basketball

Atlanta, GA – In a story of perseverance and self-belief, local 6’6’’ wing Sean Van Dorn Jr. has committed to Georgia Southern University on a full Division I basketball scholarship. Van Dorn Jr.’s path to this achievement is remarkable: once an unranked high school player, he stayed focused, trusted the process, and transformed himself into a D1-bound athlete through years of hard work and high-level competition.

Early Goals and High School Highlights

From an early age, Van Dorn Jr. set ambitious goals. In 6th grade, he vowed to make the varsity team as a freshman – a goal he achieved at Fayette County High School. As a sophomore, he not only made varsity but became a key contributor to the team, scoring 21 points in a state playoff game to send his team to the Final Four. That season marked the first of many notable achievements for Van Dorn Jr. At the end of that year, he set his sights on winning a state title before graduation, a promise he fulfilled after transferring to Tri-Cities High School (East Point, GA) to play under Coach Omari Forts, a two-time state champion coach known for building winning programs. Van Dorn Jr. joined a talented Tri-Cities squad and became a key contributor on the wing. In March 2025, Tri-Cities captured the Georgia 5A state championship, the school’s third title in seven years. Van Dorn Jr. played a pivotal role, scoring 18 points in the championship game (including 11 in the fourth quarter) to help secure the victory.

Summer Grind and Breakthrough

Despite not appearing in the national recruiting rankings, Van Dorn Jr. didn’t let the lack of hype deter him. He sharpened his skills on the AAU circuit, joining the Anthony Edwards Five (AE5) 3SSB travel team – an Adidas-sponsored elite club named after NBA star Anthony Edwards. There, he faced top competition and proved himself against some of the nation’s best. Seeking tougher competition, Van Dorn Jr. transferred to Rock Creek Christian Academy in Maryland for his junior year to play a national schedule with their first-time national program. The experience sharpened his skills and prepared him for the critical NCAA live evaluation periods. Over the spring and summer of 2024, Van Dorn Jr.’s game truly blossomed – his production was on full display for college scouts. In one summer showcase, he led his AAU squad in scoring with 13 points to win a Battle For Georgia tournament quarterfinal, out-dueling a team of highly touted prospects. His combination of positional size, slashing ability, and improved outside shooting consistently impressed observers. By the end of the summer, the once-overlooked wing had caught the attention of Division I coaches.

Carby Martin: A Leader Who Contributed Through Unselfishness and Strong Will

Atlanta, GA – Carby Martin, a 6’3” combo guard from Tri-Cities High School in East Point, Georgia, capped off his high school career with an unforgettable championship run. A thousand-point career scorer, Martin transferred to Tri-Cities for his senior year, seeking the opportunity to play for a team with a championship pedigree under Coach Omari Forts. Tri-Cities had already won two state championships before Martin helped contribute to their third, cementing his role as a key leader on one of the state’s top teams.

Senior Year at Tri-Cities: Leading By Example

Martin’s senior season was defined by leadership, unselfish play, and a commitment to the team’s success. While Tri-Cities boasted several elite players, including Sean Van Dorn, Tre Keith, and Jalan Wingfield, Martin embraced a supporting role. Averaging 10.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.4 assists, he focused on defense, playmaking, and making timely contributions. Known for his tenacity, Martin’s standout performances came in crucial moments, especially during the state playoffs, where his steady leadership and strong defense were key factors in the Bulldogs’ title run.

His impact went beyond the stat sheet. Martin was honored with 5A All-Region Team recognition and led the team academically, earning the Academic Scholar Athlete Award for maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA throughout the season. This combination of athleticism and academics set him apart as a leader on and off the court.

Achievements and Recognition

Martin’s accolades during his senior year didn’t stop with his state championship. He was invited to the 2025 Southeast Basketball Academy (SEBA) Senior Showcase, where he was named an Outstanding Performer, cementing his status as one of Georgia’s top senior prospects. He was also part of Tri-Cities’ “1,000 Point Club” and garnered attention for his gritty defense, playmaking ability, and selflessness on the court.

From Adidas 3SSB to College Commitment

Before his senior season, Martin had already built a strong resume playing on the Adidas 3SSB circuit for three years with Team AE5, a program sponsored by NBA’s newest star, Anthony Edwards. Martin’s time with Team AE5 exposed him to elite competition on the national stage, with his performance helping raise his profile among college scouts.

Although Martin initially received Division I offers from schools like Western Carolina and Queens University, the changing landscape of college basketball recruiting—exacerbated by the COVID-era eligibility extensions and the transfer portal—meant that some of those offers were eventually pulled. Despite this setback, Martin’s resolve never wavered. He remained focused, and after an outstanding senior season at Tri-Cities, Martin received a Division II offer from Mars Hill University, a testament to his talent and resilience. In a year when many top 2025 prospects are opting for Junior College, Prep School, or Post Graduate routes due to the highly competitive recruiting environment, securing a Division II offer is nothing short of phenomenal.

Biggs by Name, Big by Game: The Undersized Guard Who Plays with Giant Heart

In a sport often dominated by towering figures, Myles Biggs has carved out a name for himself through sheer determination, grit, and growth. Standing at just 5'8", the senior point guard from McIntosh High School in Peachtree City, Georgia, has consistently defied expectations — proving that relentless effort and passion can outweigh conventional standards.

After transferring from Fayette County High School in search of a bigger opportunity, Myles found his breakthrough at McIntosh. There, he flourished in the team’s drive-and-kick, motion-based offense, and helped lead the Chiefs to a Region 3-5A Championship victory over Northgate in February 2024. His standout season earned him All-Region honors, solidifying his reputation as a fearless competitor who refuses to be overlooked.

While his size has often been questioned, Myles responded not with excuses — but with evolution. He committed to improving his passing and shooting abilities, refining his shot selection, and becoming a true pest on defense. His quick hands, full-court hustle, and aggressive on-ball presence made him a constant disruption for opposing guards.

Off the court, Myles’s persistence and quiet confidence began turning heads at the next level. His performances at key events, including the HoopSeen Live Showcase, and his unwavering mindset earned him interest from programs such as Greensboro College and Young Harris. Ultimately, he accepted an offer and committed to Emmanuel University in North Georgia — a well-deserved step forward in a journey built on proving people wrong.

Myles Biggs may be modest in stature, but his impact is massive. A true David in a game of Goliaths, he’s battled through doubt and adversity with a belief bigger than any box score. His name fits — not just because of how he plays, but because of the big heart, big determination, and big future he carries with him every time he steps on the floor.
