4-Star Guard Justin Wise Adds Clemson Offer After Dominant Stretch at North Oconee
Justin Wise, one of Georgia’s top young basketball prospects, has added another high-profile school to his rapidly expanding list of suitors. The 4-star guard from North Oconee High School recently received an offer from the Clemson Tigers, a notable step forward in what’s shaping up to be a national-level recruitment. The offer comes after a string of standout performances that have made Wise one of the most talked-about sophomores in the Southeast.
Breakout Sophomore Campaign
Standing at 6-foot-3, Wise has quickly established himself as a go-to player for North Oconee. This past season, he led his team to a red-hot 10–1 start, consistently delivering with scoring, playmaking, and poise beyond his years. He’s shown the ability to run the offense effectively while also creating his own shot — whether pulling up from deep, attacking the rim, or finding teammates in rhythm.
His performance at the North Georgia Showcase was a turning point in his recruitment. Wise dropped 22 points in front of college scouts and analysts, impressing with his quick release, confident shooting, and high basketball IQ. Analysts have praised his smart decision-making, off-ball movement, and efficient scoring, labeling him one of the top sophomore guards in Georgia.
Clemson Joins the Mix
With the Tigers officially offering Wise, the ACC program becomes one of the first major conference schools to enter the picture. Clemson’s staff has been tracking Wise closely, particularly impressed by his feel for the game, maturity, and ability to control pace — skills that translate well to the college level.
The offer not only confirms Wise’s status as a high-major prospect but also opens the door for other programs in the ACC, SEC, and beyond to take a closer look. As his profile continues to rise, more offers are expected to follow.
A Well-Rounded Prospect
What makes Wise stand out is his complete game. He’s not just a scorer — he’s a true guard who can orchestrate an offense, read defenses, and make the right play under pressure. He’s fundamentally sound, rarely turns the ball over, and already plays with the polish of a college-ready athlete. His defensive instincts are strong as well, often reading passing lanes and using his length to disrupt opponents.
Beyond his on-court ability, Wise has also earned praise for his leadership and work ethic. Coaches describe him as coachable, driven, and focused — all traits that will serve him well as he enters the national recruiting spotlight.
Looking Ahead
With two years of high school basketball remaining, Justin Wise is just getting started. Clemson’s offer is a major milestone, but it likely won’t be the last. As he continues to shine in showcases, AAU events, and regular-season play, his recruiting stock is poised to keep climbing.
Wise is a name to watch in the 2027 class — and Clemson’s early offer could prove to be just the beginning of a major college basketball journey.
