#3 | Amani Hansberry Amani Hansberry 6'7" | C Mount St. Joseph | 2023 State #52 Nation MD | St. John’s
Hansberry’s production spoke for itself throughout his freshman campaign at St. John’s. He was a double-double machine and held his own against top-level competition.
#10 | Marcel Gardner Marcel Gardner 6'9" | C St. Andrew's | 2023 State MD | St. Andrew’s
Gardner has drastically improved since he first popped on the radar at the Capitol Hoops Summer League prior to his freshman season. He will be a two-way difference-maker in the MAC for years to come.
#13 | Chris Russell Chris Russell 6'5" | C Sidwell Friends | 2023 State MD | Sidwell Friends
Russell has established a reputation as a flat out workhorse. He makes an impact in every game simply as a result of his unrelenting effort. Sidwell probably hasn’t had a man in the middle with his type of athleticism since Ross Young was a Quaker.
#31 | Anthony Davenport Anthony Davenport 6'7" | C St. John's | 2023 State MD | St. John’s
Davenport is going to surprise some folks in the WCAC whenever play does resume. The Richard Montgomery transfer is an intriguing long-term prospect with great tools and underrated touch.
#45 | Tyler Mason Tyler Mason 6'10" | PF Minnesota Prep | 2023 MD | Bishop Walsh
Mason is a throwback big man who moves bodies in the paint and can score with his back to the basket. He’ll benefit from the experience of playing a national schedule in the NIBC.
#46 Joseph Mupoyi Joseph Mupoyi 6'8" | C Archbishop Carroll | 2023 MD | Archbishop Carroll
Mupoyi is a forceful paint presence who excels as a rebounder and rim protector. He’s had some nice moments with Team Durant so we’re expecting him to be a key contributor at Carroll.
#54 | Liech Kong Liech Kong 6'6" | C Rock Creek Christian | 2023 State MD | Rock Creek Christian
By all accounts, Kong deserves praise for his play this winter. The Wakefield transfer has great hands and plays with a high motor. Kong’s long-term outlook is certainly promising given how much he’s improved in a short time.
