DMV Live Session 2 Schedule and Live Stream

On3 MVP: PG Chance Mallory (2025)

What a show we saw from 5-foot-10 Chance Mallory. The Charlottesville (VA) St. Anne’s Belfield point guard came one assist shy of a triple-double, finishing with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists. It was an electric performance.

Mallory is a compact guard. He plays composed but with some flair. The crafty handle pops quickly as he seemingly has the ball on a string off the bounce. He showed good vision in the halfcourt, threading the needle multiple times and finding teammates. But it was his scoring prowess that drew the oohs and ahhs. Mallory finished 9-for-18 from the field and 4-for-8 from three. He showcased a pull-up jumper from multiple levels, a nice floater in the paint, and the ability to elevate off two dribbles in the mid-range. Think along the Markquis Nowell archetype.

Virginia Tech head coach Mike Young was court-side along with an assistant. Among the 60 or so coaches looking on, Virginia and Maryland each had multiple assistants in tow as well.

2. C Eric Reibe (2025)

Eric Reibe is a new name to the landscape; however, he is one that has made you pay attention. The 6-foot-11 post from Potomac (MD) Bullis School is a throwback. The lefty has an array of post moves on the block, up and under, right-shoulder jump hooks, etc.

You like the physicality that Reibe plays with. Originally from Germany, Reibe took on a head-to-head matchup with 2024 four-star center Patrick Ngongba. An intriguing toolkit was on display. After going inside early, he stepped out to knock down pick-and-pop threes and even attacked the paint off left-hand straight-line drives.

There is a lot to like with Reibe’s game, partly why he has added almost 15 offers since April. Head coaches from Georgetown, Providence, and Virginia Tech were joined by Iowa, Michigan State, Illinois, and about 40 other programs for his games tonight.

3. SG Darren Harris – Duke

We have become accustomed to Duke commitment Darren Harris just drilling shots from all over the floor, and he did that there. But today, the takeaway was the explosion. Harris finished above the rim with multiple dunks, both in the half-court and in transition.

He was aggressively filling the lane here and was able to absorb the contact. Harris is a featured player on a loaded Fairfax (VA) Paul VI team, nothing seems to be forced with him as he mostly plays within two dribbles. The jump shot was falling throughout. In the second game, he did a great job shooting off movement and great footwork, and his balance was consistent throughout.

Harris is the No. 57 player in the 2024 On3 Industry Ranking. The four-star finished with a game-high 19 points, going 8-for-13 from the field.

4. SG Jayden Forsythe (2025)

There is something about a player who can simply go get buckets that is appealing to me. Jayden Forsythe, a 6-foot-4 class of 2025 shooting guard at Westtown (PA) School, was able to get himself going quickly today.

While the shooting and the scoring are mainly what gets him written about in this space, his willingness to defend and rebound was interesting as well. Forsythe has a projectable frame with broad shoulders and long arms. He has a good handle, nothing flashy, but one that is capable of getting him to his spots in an efficient manner. He plays on balance and gets into the rhythm of his jump shot fairly quickly.

Penn State was his first high major offer, and since then, George Mason and Mississippi State have offered.

5. PF Mikey Wilkins (2025)

Mikey Wilkins has continued to expand his game since last high school season. The 6-foot-8 rising junior has a strong frame, but what has helped with the explosion is his understanding of his own game. Wilkins is unique in that one of his best qualities is his ability to pass and initiate offense.

The Arden (NC) Christ School offense seemed to work best when the ball was in Wiliins’ hands. He was able to create space in the half-court with his footwork but also push the break, setting up teammates as they cut to the basket or found a sliver of space. You like the motor he consistently shows, a strong area rebounder, and the instincts to also chase out of his area. Scoring the ball, he has footwork around the basket and showed range off the catch. There is a lot to like with his offensive output.

Coaches from Virginia, Maryland, Iowa, and Illinois were among those in the stands watching Wilkins.

Other notables

Four-star PF Gevonte Ware (1 of 1 Academy/NC) has a strong frame with great length. While he couldn’t get into a rhythm offensively, he rebounded the ball really well. He also showed passing reads out of the high post and timing on defense. The 6-foot-9 class of 2025 prospect finished with 4 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks.

2026 SG Quincy Wadley (Bishop O’Connell/VA) was not afraid of the moment, and that is what stood out with his game. At 6-foot-5, he has a smooth jump shot, able to step into it off the catch or get to his spots of the bounce. In this setting, nothing was forced. Villanova and Maryland are two early offers, and both were watching.

2025 SG Austin Williford (St. Anne’s Belfield/VA) is a hyper-athletic wing. You really like the way he defends, he is good on the ball and tough off the ball and in the passing lanes. He showed some pop in transition, getting on the rim a couple of times, and while the shot was not dropping in this one, the form looked promising.

2024 CG Martin Somerville (Bishop McNamara/MD) showed shot-making chops. Was confident off the bounce, getting into the mid-range and raising up to knock down lefty jumpers. He finished with 26 points on 8-for-15 from the field.

Four-star PG Tyler Jackson (St. Frances/MD) plays with a ridiculous amount of confidence and swagger. The 6-foot-2 guard is a tough shot-maker, but despite the high-volume shooting, he also has some passing chops, especially in transition. You love the brash nature of his offensive arsenal; he gets to his spots and plays with great balance. He finished with 11 points, 7 assists, and 2 steals in his first game today.

Four-star C Patrick Ngongba (Paul VI/VA). With Kansas State’s full staff and UConn’s Danny Hurley, among others, in the stands, Ngongba played composed, within himself, and tough. He is an excellent area rebounder, and he is starting to show an expanded game with touch and some handle. Six points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, and a block in 13 minutes of game time.

2026 SG Qayden Samuels (Bishop McNamara/MD) was a confident shot-maker today. The lefty was shot-ready off each catch, floating well with the ball handler. His release was quick, and his shot was balanced. An intriguing day for the sophomore guard who added offers from Illinois and Providence this week.

2024 CG Jason Clark (Miller School/VA) is one who should start to see his recruitment skyrocket. The 6-foot-1 guard finished with an event high 40 points in his first game on the day. It took him only 14 shots to get there. Florida Atlantic was the only D1 in the second gym watching at the time, but word spread quickly. He was 8-for-9 from three and scored off the bounce and the catch. He dished 7 assists as well.

2025 SG Domonic Stewart (Mt. Zion Prep/MD) is playing with a lot of confidence here. The 6-foot-4 guard is a noted shooter, but he did a lot of stuff of the bounce. Capable of getting his team into sets, he was strong with the ball. The shot fell, and overall, he played noticeably tough. He was 4-for-8 from the field and finished with a game-high 14 points.
