Tahjay Moore Tahjay Moore 6'7" | C New Brunswick | 2020 State NJ , 6’7 C New Brunswick
Point guard Ahyan Brown-Miller Ahyan Brown-Miller 5'9" | PG New Brunswick | 2020 State NJ was dynamic for the Zebras all season, while Moore controlled the paint. The Rutgers football commit was a force on the boards all season long as he racked up double-doubles in almost every game. Moore knows how to finish around the rim and is a capable free throw shooter. He was one of the top shot-blockers in the Greater Middlesex Conference due to his athleticism and timing. Moore will be continuing his athletic career on the gridiron, but he was a dynamic game-changer in the post for the Zebras in 2019-20.
RJ Weise RJ Weise 6'0" | SG State NJ , 6’0 PG Allentown
Weise was left off the All-Group 3 teams,despite being named the Colonial Valley Conference Player of the Year. The senior guard was a force for the Redbirds all season long as he filled up the stat sheet in every game. Weise was threat to score every time he crossed half-court and attacked the basket with no fear. He has great court vision and makes fantastic passes in almost every game. Weise will join Rider University as a preferred walk-on after a fantastic senior season for Allentown.
Tyrese Myrick Tyrese Myrick 6'2" | SG Westampton Tech | 2020 State NJ , 6’2 SG Westampton Tech
Like Weise, Myrick was left off the All-Group 3 teams after leading the Panthers to the South Jersey Group 3 semifinals. The 6’2 senior is a big-time scorer as he uses his strong frame to finish through contact around the basket. Myrick can create his own shot in the halfcourt and can make opponents pay for giving him space on the perimeter. He is an underrated passer and is capable of running the point. Myrick made plays all season long as he helped lead Westampton Tech to a successful 2019-20 season.
Andres Fulgencio Andres Fulgencio 6'0" | CG Dwight-Morrow | 2020 State NJ , 6’0 CG Dwight-Morrow
Dwight-Morrow was upset by Teaneck in the first round of the North 1 Group 3 playoffs, but that does not diminish Fulgencio’s accomplishments this past season. The Bloomfield commit is at his best attacking the basket and knows how to draw contact around the rim. Fulgencio has a nice looking jump shot and has a good mid-range game. He makes plays with the ball in his hands and is a tough rebounder. Fulgencio is a play-maker and will bring his all-around offensive game to Bloomfield in 2019-20.
Davon Thornton Davon Thornton 6'2" | SF Overbrook | 2020 State NJ , 6’2 SF Overbrook
Thornton may not be the largest available wing, but he just makes plays on offense. The first team All-Group 1 member is tough to stop when he attacks the basket and knows how to finish through contact. Thornton is a tough rebounder who does not mind scrapping for rebounds against bigger opponents. He is a good on-ball defender and makes plays with the ball in his hands.Thornton was one of the top players in Group 1 this past season because of his ability to change the game in multiple ways.
