Ernest Carter Ernest Carter 6'0" | PG Rahway | 2021 State NJ | Rahway
Carter went through a stretch midseason where he showed his potential. He scored 26, 34, 20, and 35 points in consecutive games. Consistency was his main problem but Carter showed that he has what it takes to take over offensively. This is something he can do as a senior for Rahway.
Ryan Roney Ryan Roney 6'0" | SG Gloucester Catholic | 2021 State NJ | Gloucester Catholic
Roney can climb up the rankings quickly once he steps on the floor next season. He is a perimeter player that led his team in scoring as a junior and will most likely do the same as a senior. Roney scored 505 total points and was a marksman from deep. He is a name to keep an eye on around the state once the season begins.
Marcus Pierce Marcus Pierce 6'1" | CG Compass Prep | 2022 State NJ | St. Joe’s (Hamm.)
Pierce was as dynamic as they come as a junior. He scored 551 total points and made 172 free throws. At 6’1, he has decent size but he makes up for it in strength when going to the basket. Drawing contact and getting to the line is a skill on the basketball court and it is one that Pierce has.
Brandon Pfeifer Brandon Pfeifer 6'0" | SG Allentown | 2021 State NJ | Allentown
Pfeifer is another player that has arrived but will take a major step as a senior. He was one of the top shooters in the state wiht 71 three’s and that is where he did most of his work. Pfeifer will continue to improve as a player and move forward. He will be an interesting player for Allentown, a team that can make a run next season.
Giye Jenkins Giye Jenkins 6'0" | PG Seton Hall Prep | 2021 State NJ | Seton Hall Prep
Jenkins was a model of consistency for Seton Hall Prep. He scored in double-figures 20 times and mainly stayed between 10 and 20 points. He was always there for his team when they needed a play to be made. Jenkins is a leader. He can do many things well on the court.
DaSean Lopez | Wildwood Catholic
Lopez was not a main option on the offensive end this season but he was a strong defender and rebounder. Wildwood Catholic is losing two Division I players in Jahlil White Jahlil White 6'6" | SG Wildwood Catholic | 2020 State #258 Nation NJ and Taj Thweatt Taj Thweatt 6'7" | PF Wildwood Catholic | 2020 State #180 Nation NJ . They will need someone to step up and Lopez can fill a void. He will immediately take over a bigger role on the offensive end next season and this will do a great deal for his stock.
