Hayes Free

6'7 Rabun County High School class of 2026

[Tayp @my_tayp]

Film drops. The community locks in. ABAC Head Men’s Basketball Coach Calvin Sinkfield (@sink265) enters the chat to track 6’7” standout Hayes Free.

This is how we help level the playing field for athletes earning it on the hardwood.

Respect to Coach Sinkfield for scouting Georgia talent. 🏀👀

We want recruiters, coaches, trainers, and media all connected directly with the athletes. One post can change everything for a player.

Keep posting. Keep building. Keep getting seen.

HoopAtlanta Orange HSA has two unsigned guys who are worth the trip over to Suwanee Sports Academy here at #AtlantaJam. Mach Mach is a long wing who can operate on and off the ball. He has elite athleticism, can knock down shots from the perimeter, and is a flat-out game changer.

Hayes Free is another unsigned prospect who is always one of the hardest-playing players on the floor. The 6’7 forward is mobile and makes plays on both ends. He’s a difference maker whenever he’s on the floor.

Georgia basketball is deeper than metro Atlanta.

Hayes Free helped lead Rabun County to its first-ever state championship while putting together one of the most efficient senior seasons in Georgia basketball.

6’7”
1,300+ career points
State Champion
GACA First Team All-State
67% FG
43% from three

North Georgia athlete.
Small market.
Elite production.
Still underexposed.

That’s exactly why TAYP exists.

Don’t wait to be discovered. Build your name before the spotlight catches up.

Hayes is back on the AAU circuit this weekend at the HoopSeen Atlanta Jam in Suwanee during one of the biggest NCAA live-period exposure weekends of the spring.

Now on TAYP.

HOOPATL Orange 17U (HSA)

#32 Noah Sallee | 2027
Physical presence on the glass who rebounds at a high level on both ends. Does a great job finishing around the rim through contact and brings toughness inside.

#0 Zach Yimtatu | 2027
True floor general that controls the pace and keeps everyone organized. Makes smart decisions, creates for others, and can take over offensively when needed with his ability to score at all three levels.

#2 Hayes Free | 2026
Mean stretch-4 with the ability to space the floor and knock down perimeter shots. Plays with an edge, attacks mismatches, and finishes strong through contact at the rim.
