Class of 2023
NR SG Ben Egbo (Vegas Elite 17u) – Ben Egbo has a physical frame and has shot out of a cannon-type burst and explosion. A couple of momentum changing dunks here and some defensive stops for the 6-foot-3 wing. – Jamie Shaw
Three-star PF Ladji Dembele (NY Rens 17u) – Ladji Dembele does a lot of the little things you want a big to do. At 6-foot-8/6-foot-9, he has long arms with great hands. Good rebounder, knocks down the catch and shoots three, and enjoys defense. – Jamie Shaw
Four-star G Dailyn Swain (All Ohio 17u) – Dailyn Swain has so much upside. Young for his grade, he has great length with a good frame. His court vision is impressive, both in half and full court. Intriguing on the defensive end as well. – Jamie Shaw
Four-star PG Ty-Laur Johnson (NY Rens 17u) – Ty-Laur Johnson is a quick on quick point guard who is fearless with a crafty handle. – Jamie Shaw
Four-star SF Coen Carr (Georgia Stars 17u) – Coen Carr has a different type of explosion. He has great length and defensive versatility. Rebounds hard and is a sneaky weakside shot blocker. – Jamie Shaw
Class of 2024
Four-star SF Marcus Allen (Florida Rebels 16U) – Marcus Allen has incredible length with massive hands. His defensive instincts are excellent, guarding up and down a lineup. – Jamie Shaw
Four-star SG Karter Knox (Florida Rebels 17u) – Karter Knox was aggressively looking to score in this one. Confidence off the bounce, made shots, and looked for contact in the paint. – Jamie Shaw
Three-star F Maurio Hansen (Team CP3 16u) – The lefty simply knows how to produce. Long arms with a lot of pop, he carves out space and finishes with touch and purpose. Vastly underrated right now. – Jamie Shaw
Four-star PG Elliot Cadeau (NH Lightning 17u) – Elliot Cadeau is lightning quick and has demonstrated the ability to score from the mid-range off the dribble. Also an excellent on-ball defender and capable of blocking shots. – Joe Tipton
Four-star PG Curtis Givens (MoKan 16u) – Curtis Givens plays with so much poise and is always in control. Even when the shots aren’t falling, he finds a way to impact the game with his winning attitude and positive spirit. Strong guard with vision. – Joe Tipton
Four-star G Trent Perry (Vegas Elite 17u) – Trent Perry has a smooth feel for the game, with good positional size with long arms. His IQ and feel are what shine with the ball in his hands. – Jamie Shaw
Four-star SG Drake Powell (Team CP3 16u) – Drake Powell’s instincts are through the roof. He consistently makes great reads, is money from the elbows, and his defensive acumen is elite. Great length and makes winning plays. – Jamie Shaw
Three-star SG Kon Knueppel (Phenom U 16u) – Kon Knueppel just exudes toughness. He is a noted shooter, but he rebounds and can finish at the rim. More athletic than you think. – Jamie Shaw
Class of 2025
NR SF Cooper Flagg (Maine United 15u) – Cooper Flagg is so skilled and polished to only be 15 years old. His IQ is top-notch, as is his ability to rebound and impact the game in a variety of ways. Flagg’s ceiling is extraordinary. – Joe Tipton
