James Moore James Moore 6'9" | PF Olympus Prep | 2024 State #237 Nation NJ , 6’9 PF Patrick School
The Celtics were loaded with frontcourt talent last season, but Moore was still about to make an impact during his freshman season. The 6’9 forward has a good perimeter game for a player his age as he is quite comfortable on the perimeter. Moore’s range extends out to the three-point line, but also has a nice touch around the basket. He is a strong rebounder and uses his length to altar shots on the defensive end. Moore is a talented forward prospect who has a bright future ahead of him.
Jaiden Glover Jaiden Glover 6'6" | SG Patrick School | 2024 State #57 Nation NJ , 6’4 SG St. Benedict’s
The Grey Bees are known for producing good guard talent and Glover looks to be the next in line. The 6’4 guard has a nice handle and is capable of running the offense. Glover can finish in a variety of ways around the basket and is unafraid of drawing contact to get to the line. His size and length allows him to defend multiple positions on the floor, while he is also an underrated passer. Glover’s ability to play both guard spots makes him an intriguing prospect for the next level.
Jayden Williams Jayden Williams 6'0" | PG Blair Academy | 2024 State NJ , 6’0 PG Blair Academy
The Buccaneers are loaded with talent in the back court, but Williams was still able to make an impact. The 5’9 guard has quick hands on the defensive end and is a tough on-ball defender. Williams plays with poise with the ball in his hands and does not make a lot of bad decisions. He has a good release on his jumper and can finish around the basket. Williams recently picked up an offer from Sacred Heart and the list should only grow as his varsity career continues.
Dylan Harper Dylan Harper 6'6" | SG Don Bosco Prep | 2024 State #3 Nation NJ , 6’1 CG Don Bosco Prep
The Ironmen are teemed with talent in the 2024 class and Harper is one of those freshmen. The 6’1 combo guard is at his best attacking the basket as he is a good finisher and knows how to draw contact. Harper is more than just a slasher as he showcased his ability to knock down triples with three in a game against Trenton Catholic. He is a good rebounder and is an underrated defender. Harper had multiple big games during his freshman season, which is a sign for big things to come in his high school career for Don Bosco Prep.
Jeremy Clayville Jeremy Clayville 6'1" | CG St. Joe's Metuchen | 2024 State NJ , 6’0 CG DePaul Catholic
Clayville led the entire freshman class in scoring as he averaged 18 points per game for DePaul Catholic. The 6’0 guard is a marksman from deep with a quick release and good shooting form. Clayville is more than just a shooter as he can get into the lane and score around the basket. He is a solid rebounder and an underrated passer. Clayville finished with seven 20-point games this season and he should eclipse that number in his sophomore season.
