There is an unlimited supply of talent in the city’s Catholic school league. Each class is represented strongly. Here are some players for 2022 class. Some will be entering their first year of varsity others will be expected to take on bigger roles after playing behind talented seniors last year. Kedar Davis. 6”4. JR (2022) ST. RAYS HS Was the team's best rebounder. Finds the ball. High energy player. Very good post defender. Does a lot of the dirty work. Excellent footwork inside but can also take you off the dribble. Working on his shooting. Elijah Castillo. 6”2. JR (2022) ST. RAYS HS Really quick athletic guard. Good rebounder for his size. High motor. Excellent in transition. Needs to be more consistent and getting off his own shot. Jaden Battle. 6”1. JR(2022) MCCLANCY HS Lights out shooter. Unlimited range. All arms and legs and still growing. His ability to handle the ball enhances his pull up game. Looking to improve his strength. Omari Ward. 5”11 JR (2022) FORDHAM PREP HS Was given the keys to the offense last year as a sophomore. Responded well. Tremendous court vision and awareness. Floor general type. Excellent ball handler and also really guards well. Looking to improve on his shot. Thomas Whelan. 6”2. JR. FORDAM PREP HS Missed all of his sophomore year. But is completely healed. Coach is expecting good things from him. He is fearless. Gets to the rim and finishes through contact. He can create his own shot and is really good from three. Because of the missed time he will need to get accustomed to the varsity game. Maxwell Hooper. 6”2. JR (2022) ST EDMUNDS HS Very bright wiry player. Very strong and athletic enables him to slash to the rim. When you play off of him he is very capable of shooting it. Looking to improve on extending his range.
