Group 4 is a prime example of this as it is filled with big-time talent who can make an impact at the next level. Here are the top available 2021 prospects in Group 4 this season.
Isaiah Hill Isaiah Hill 6'3" | CG We Believe | 2022 State NLG , 6’3 SG Columbia
The Cougars have a talented 2023 point guard in Jalen Robinson Jalen Robinson 5'10" | PG Columbia | 2023 State NJ , but they brought in more backcourt help with Hill. The Union Catholic transfer is one of the top athletes in the class as he floats through the air and loves to finish above the rim. Hill attacks the basket with a purpose and is not afraid of drawing contact. He’s more than just a slasher as he has a good release on his jumper and can put up points in bunches. Hill is a talented shooting guard whose combination of athleticism and scoring will make him a prospect to watch in Group 4 this season.
Brian Johannsson Brian Johannsson 6'5" | SG Hunterdon Central | 2021 State NJ , 6’5 SG Hunterdon Central
Hunterdon Central returns a strong core from last year’s team and Johannsson is the go-to man. The 6’5 wing has a nice shooting stroke and always sets his feet before he shoots. Johannsson moves well within the flow of the offense and has the ability to get to the basket on the perimeter. He is an underrated defender and fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Johannsson is a knockdown shooter who should make an impact at the next level.
Tazir Cantey Tazir Cantey 6'0" | PG Eastern | 2021 State NJ , 6’0 PG Eastern
The Vikings were one of the top teams in the Olympic Conference last season and they got a big addition in Cantey. The Lindenwold transfer is a bucket getter with the ability to drop 20 points on any given night. Cantey has a quick first step and knows how to finish through contact around the rim. He runs the offense very well and can knock down jumpers from distance. Cantey is a scoring machine that should have a strong senior season for Eastern.
Mike Jackson Mike Jackson 6'2" | CG Union City | 2021 State NJ , 6’2 CG Union City
The Eagles have a big-time scorer in Maurice Odum Maurice Odum 6'1" | PG West Oaks | 2022 State FL and they got him some help in Jackson. The Marist transfer has a quick release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Jackson is more than just a shooter as he can handle the ball on the perimeter and get to the basket. He is a strong on-ball defender and has quick hands to get steals and deflections. Jackson’s combination of shooting and defense will allow for him to make an impact at the next level.
Trevor Bokach Trevor Bokach 6'4" | CG Watchung Hills | 2021 State NJ , 6’4 CG Watchung Hills
The Warriors have to replace First Team All-State performer Michael Bressler Michael Bressler 5'6" | PG Watchung Hills | 2020 State NJ and they should get a big season from Bokach. The 6’4 guard plays with good court vision and makes smart decisions with the ball in his hands. Bokach can break his defender down off the bounce and is unafraid of drawing contact on his way to the basket. He can defend multiple positions on the floor and has a knack for getting deflections. Bokach is a two-way guard who is ready to lead Watchung Hills’ offense this season.
