Continue ReadingNew York is extremely deep in the Class of 2021. There are many players who will be playing at big time Division I schools. Some have the offers already and some will have to wait until the season. Here are some players who will fly under-the-radar but should not.
Max Edwards Max Edwards 6'5" | SF Our Saviour Lutheran | 2021 State NY | Our Savior Lutheran
Under-the-radar is used loosely in this case. Edwards plays on a top team in New York and that may cause him to be overlooked but he was good enough to catch the eye of Seton Hall. At 6’5, Edwards has the size mixed with the athleticism to succeed at the next level. He will turn into Our Savior Lutheran’s top option next season.
Lemar Fulmore Jr. Lemar Fulmore Jr. 6'1" | PG Cardinal Hayes | 2021 NY | Cardinal Hayes
Fulmore is an undersized guard but he makes up for it with speed and quickness. Fulmore has great anticipation on the defensive end which makes him one of the better perimeter defenders in the class. On the offensive end, Fulmore thrives at getting into the lane and scoring.
Jaden DeJesus Jaden DeJesus 6'1" | PG The Knox School | 2021 State NY | The Knox School
DeJesus is another guard that is primed for a big season as a senior. He will take the next step and a college program is going to be happy to have him. He is a do it all guard on the offensive end. DeJesus is a flashy passer that knows where his teammates are at all times.
Aguibou Balde Aguibou Balde 6'5" | SF John Bowne | 2021 State NY | John Bowne
This Bronx forward has an offer from Bryant and that will not be his only one. At 6’5, Balde is extremely versatile because he can play and defend many positions on the court. Balde is extremely athletic on the court. He has great length and takes long strides in transition.
Aubrey Nicholson Aubrey Nicholson 6'2" | SF Boys & Girls | 2021 State NY | Boys & Girls
Nicholson was not a huge scorer in his junior season but he was able to contribute in many other ways. As a senior, expect Nicholson to take that next step. He is strong with the ball in his hands in transition and runs the floor well. Nicholson is explosive and plays bigger than his size.
