Every year there are tough decisions and players who just miss out on making the list, but still have plenty of potential to contribute at the collegiate level. The following list of players are some names from the Baltimore area who don’t appear in our rankings, but fit the script to be productive DIII or possibly scholarship level players with a big senior season.
Viktor Stepanovski | 6’0 | St. Maria Goretti
Even though Goretti is located in Frederick, they belong to the BCL which means I see them in action often. Stepanovski was a newcomer to this year’s team and took over as the primary ball handler. He made progress throughout his junior season and looks to be a solid DIII or possible DII prospect given his IQ, anticipation as a passing point guard and understanding of his role. His athleticism and quickness aren’t strong suits, but Stepanovski has a tight handle and uses quick twitch, change of pace moves to keep his defender on their heels. If he gets an edge, he’s always looking to get into the paint where he either finished with floaters or dump-off passes to one of his bigs.
Jamai Felt | 6’7 | Randallstown
Felt is an unknown prospect to many, but has plenty of tools that could manufacture into scholarship offers being thrown his way. At 6-foot-7 and a long wingspan, Felt uses his sneaky explosive athleticism to finish impressively in transition. He feasts on the glass both offensively and defensively in Baltimore County where there aren’t a ton of players that can match up with his size and athleticism. He also became a powerful shot-blocking presence defensively and cleaned up a lot of mistakes that occurred on the perimeter for the Rams.
Emmanuel Rice | 6’2 | Woodlawn
Woodlawn always seems to be led by their senior class and while that stayed true this season, Rice should step into that role in 2020-21. At 6-foot-2, Rice is a lefty is a capable shot-maker from beyond the arc. It takes a little longer than most for him to get his shot off, but with a clean release he is accurate. He’s a straight line driver who can finish against contesting bigs and in Baltimore County can be used as a versatile defender.

Quentin Wells | 6’1 | Randallstown
Wells transferred from St. Frances last fall to take on a bigger role at Randallstown and succeeded in doing so. The 6-foot-1 guard averaged 14.8 points per game and eclipsed the 20-point mark over a handful of times. He’s a tough-nosed players and a threat from all three levels and showed improvement with his athleticism since his sophomore season. He gained significant confidence this past season, so I expect his numbers to continue to grow as he goes through his senior campaign.
Trey Carpenter | 6’0 | Reservoir
Carpenter is officially transferring from St. Vincent Palloti and will enroll in Reservoir in the fall where he should see a significant boost in role. Numbers wise, he did well in his time on the floor and was efficient as a shooter at 46 percent from the field and 81 percent from the charity stripe. Carpenter will likely act as a combo guard for the Gators and bring ability as both a facilitator when acting as the primary ball handler and a scorer when spending time at the 2-guard.
