Rodney Parker Jr. 6”3. 2021 Schalmont HS
A physical player. Very athletic. His skill set allows him to play all 5 positions. In today’s game with positionless basketball, he excels. He is good with the ball in his hands. Gets into the lane and finishes through contact. With his ability to drive the ball he gets a lot of opportunities for the old school three-point play. Working on his shooting from the charity line.
Andrea Marrero 6”5. 2021. Upper Room Christian HS
A smooth combo guard. Very good mid-range game. Can light it up from the perimeter. Seems to always make the right play. Very skilled and natural player. Working on being a little more physical defensively without fouling. Offers have come in from Lasalle, Fordham, St. Peters, Sienna, Stony Brook, Mt. St. Marys. Interest from USF, St. Louis, and Charlotte.
Deepuk Edmunds 6”5. 2022. Chaminade HS
Has a good feel for the game. Can play out on the wing. Shoots it well. Can also score around the rim. Has good zip on his passes and also a soft touch pass when he needs it. Competes hard all the time. Is still growing into his body needs to add muscle.
Jamir Primer 6”3. 2021 Portledge HS
Whenever you watch Jamir play he looks like a talented player who every program would love to have. Then when you examine his game further you begin to realize how good he is. He is a stat stuffer. At the end of many games his line will look like this 14 points 7 rebounds 3 steals 2 blocks 4 assists. He is a student of the game. Absorbs information and then processes it throughout the game. Can get to the basket and finish. Plays hard every possession.
Darius Coleman 6”2. 2022. St. Marys. HS
A combo guard. Good court vision and court awareness. Good defender on the ball. He can score off the bounce. Can shoot off the catch also. Working on expanding his range.
Will Franks 6”6. 2022 Collegiate School
Very efficient in catch and shoot situations. Also good in the pick and pop sets. Has a nice head and shoulder fake which he uses effectively to get to the rim. Handles the ball well in transition. Uses his length on defense to disrupt offensive sets. Needs to add strength.
