Wardlaw-Hartridge can improve on its 18-7 record last season with another big season from Pressley.

He runs the floor as well as anyone in the class and works hard on the glass. Blair Academy loses forward Luke Kolaja Luke Kolaja 6'8" | PF Blair Academy | 2020 State #387 Nation NJ to graduation, but Manyang is ready to take his place in the starting lineup.

The latter is a big-time athlete who knows how to finish around the rim. Mager has a good handle and can score in the mid-range. He plays with good instincts on the defensive end and is an underrated shot-blocker. Mager and Lemond both picked up Division I offers since the end of the season and they are ready to lead Dwight-Englewood to a big 2020-21 season.
Donovan Long Donovan Long 6'6" | SF Rutgers Prep | 2022 State NJ , 6’6’ SF Marist
Long may have played out of position for head coach Ben Gamble, but he made a difference throughout the season. The 6’6 forward has a nice touch around the basket and knows how to draw contact. Long plays with great positioning on the defensive end, making him one of the top shot-blockers in the 2022 class. He plays with a great motor and scraps for rebounds on every possession. Long picked up his first Division I offer from Arkansas-Little Rock on May 3 and is primed for a breakout junior campaign at 2020-21.
