Nassir Jones-F-2021-Williamsport Area High School
Nassir is a 6’3, 225 pound forward who can guard the 2-4 positions. He also plays wide receiver and defensive end for Williamsport. On the basketball court, he can handle the basketball and see the floor well. The thing that I like most about his game, is that he always plays under control. If he continues to work on his outside shot, he can contribute on a D1-D2 program.
James Evans-McQuay-G-2021-Williamsport Area High School
James is a 6’0, 175 pound guard who has a very explosive first step. On offense, he looks to score when he has the ball, and he can finish above the rim. James does a good job handling the ball under pressure. On defense, he is very active and can defend well. If he continues to get stronger and perfect his shot behind the arc, he will be a nice fit for a D2-D3 program.
Elija Gair-G-2021-Loyalsock High School
Elija is a 6’1, 155 pound guard who can run, shoot, and penetrate off the fast break. He does a great job finishing around the basket with his euro step. I really like his overall basketball IQ level. On defense, he can cover the 1-3 positions. After winning a state title this past season, he understands that the eyes will be on him. If he continues to build strength and work on his defense, he will be a nice piece to many D2-D3 programs.
Trey Grube-SG-2023-Manhiem Central High School
Trey is a is a 5’10,145 pound shooting guard who can make big shots. Trey does a good job playing within himself and screening away from the ball. He can also get going quickly when he makes his first shot. On defense, he is active in the passing lane and has a pretty good eye for reading where his opponents want to go. If he continues to work on his strength and overall quickness, he will be a nice shooter in a D2-D3 system.
DJ Smith III DJ Smith III 6'0" | CG Dallastown | 2023 State PA III-G-2023-Dallastown High School
DJ is a 5’11, 139 pound point guard who has great leadership skills. He handles the ball well, creates for himself and his teammates, and is overall quick. On defense, he is scrappy and will defend anyone. I like that he leads his team by example and effort, and that he is mentally tough. If he continues to get stronger and perfect his outside shot, he will be on a D1-D2-D3 roster.
