Top 2022 Prospects
Knasir “Dug” McDaniel | 5’9” PG | Paul VI
Offers: Arizona State, Georgia, Michigan, UConn, Georgetown, LSU, Vanderbilt, Florida, Wake Forest, VCU, George Mason, Mount St. Mary’s, Bryant
Synopsis: One of the hottest prospects on the east coast, McDaniel has been playing out of his mind this spring with Team Takeover and will have tons of high major programs checking in with him this weekend. A lightning quick point guard that sets the tone on both ends of the floor, McDaniel is a true floor general who is able to get in the lane at will and make plays for others, he’s improved in his ability to score the ball from multiple levels and he’s an absolute pest on the defensive end where he can guard the ball 94 feet and force turnovers.
Justin Taylor Justin Taylor 6'5" | SG IMG Academy | 2022 State #156 Nation FL | 6’5” WG | STAB
Offers: UNC, Florida, UConn, Providence, UVA, Indiana, Syracuse, Georgetown, Butler, NC State, Maryland, Virginia Tech, Richmond, George Washington, ODU, Lehigh
Synopsis: One of the most highly touted wings in the country, Taylor will have the likes of UNC, Indiana, Syracuse, Virginia Tech and more following him throughout the live periods as they’ve all made him a priority this summer. He has prototypical size to play the off guard position at the next level, he’s able to make shots on the move and can create shots for himself and others off the bounce as well and he’s a highly underrated defender who moves his feet and can guard the other team’s best player.
Paul Lewis Paul Lewis 6'1" | PG Bishop O'Connell | 2022 State VA | 6’1” PG | Bishop O’Connell
Committed to Maryland
Synopsis: One of the few committed players in this event, Lewis verbally committed to Maryland last year and the Terps are getting a microwave scorer and a good playmaker with a chip to his game. At 6’1” he isn’t the biggest guy but he has good shift off the bounce and changes pace well to get open, he can knock down shots from multiple levels and he competes on both ends of the floor every time he steps on it.
David Onanina David Onanina 6'6" | PF Bishop O'Connell | 2022 State VA | 6’6” PF | Bishop O’Connell
Offers: Lamar, Southern Utah, Pacifica
Synopsis: Onanina has been one of the top big men in the WCAC over the past few years and he’s a throwback style big man who dominates in the paint and plays with good toughness on both ends of the floor. He’s mobile and can run the floor, he’s a strong finisher in the paint and plays above the rim and he’s dominant on the glass even against bigger players.
Christian May Christian May 6'6" | SF Bishop O'Connell | 2022 State VA | 6’5” WF | Bishop O’Connell
Offers: UMBC, George Washington
Synopsis: May will be one of the prospects that can really boost his stock this weekend at DeMatha, as he’s recently picked up offers from UMBC and George Washington and could see himself pick up more if he plays well this weekend. He’s a great glue guy who is athletic and can defend multiple positions, he can make shots from deep off the catch and attack closeouts and he makes winning plays on both ends of the floor as well.
Cavan Reilly Cavan Reilly 6'4" | SG Bishop O'Connell | 2022 State VA | 6’3” WG | Bishop O’Connell
Offers: Radford, Stetson, Rider, Southern Utah, Bryant
Synopsis: Reilly is one of the more skilled guys on this list, as the 6’3” wing is a knock down shooter from deep and can make plays for others as well. He’s an underrated athlete that can play above the rim, he has good instincts and feel on both ends of the floor and he impacts the game in a number of ways across the board.
Saxby Sunderland Saxby Sunderland 6'2" | CG Flint Hill | 2022 State VA | 6’3” CG | Flint Hill
Offers: George Mason, VCU, Akron, Radford, UMBC, NC A&T, Southeastern Louisiana
Synopsis: Sunderland is another very talented guard that could turn some heads this weekend as he can fill it up in bunches and is able to create and make tough shots from multiple levels. He’s excellent in pick-and-rolls and makes good reads, he can play on and off the ball and can really fill it up from deep and he has takeover ability as a scorer once he gets it going.
Miles Webb Miles Webb 6'7" | PF St. Stephen's St. Agnes | 2022 State VA | 6’7” PF | St. Stephen’s St. Agnes
Offers: Mount St. Mary’s, Bryant, Howard
Synopsis: Webb is another prospect that could see his stock takeoff this weekend if he plays well, as he’s improved a lot over the past few years but just hasn’t had the opportunity to get seen by college coaches in person. The 6’7” forward is a versatile defender that can guard both on the perimeter and in the post, he has a budding skill set on the offensive end and he’s a mismatch at his size with his versatility and athleticism.
Devin Ceaser Devin Ceaser 6'1" | CG St. Stephen's & St. Agnes | 2022 State VA | 6’1” CG | St. Stephen’s St, Agnes
Offers: Radford, Merrimack, Bryant, UMBC, Southeastern Louisiana
Synopsis: Ceaser has been a hot name in the Virginia area, picking up his most recent offers from Radford and UMBC, and he’s a guy I think coaches will love when they can see how dynamic he is in person. He’s one of the most athletic kids in the DMV as he can absolutely fly with the ball in his hands, he’s a microwave scorer that gets hot and can fill it up in bunches and he’s an elite level defender as well who can guard the length of the floor and shoot passing lanes for steals as well.
