<p>Wondering who some local 2022 players to watch this summer are? You've come to the right place. Here is a rundown of 10 names who should be on your watch list. </p>
<p><strong>Jacob Aryee | 6'3" SG | Mid Atlantic Select/St. Mary's-Annapolis (MD)</strong></p>
<p>Aryee certainly passes the initial eye test. The burly guard prospect isn't currently ranked but will be in our next update. Aryee is a difference-maker on both ends of the floor. He scores from multiple levels and helps clean the glass.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="848406" first="Logan" last="Blair"] | 6'4" SF | Mid Atlantic Select/St. John's (DC)</strong></p>
<p>Blair quietly put together a solid string of games at DC Live. He plays with a consistently high motor to go along with ideal toughness.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="603823" first="Xavier" last="Brown"] | 6'1" PG | Big Shots Elite VA/Oak Hill (VA)</strong></p>
<p>Brown is one of the more underrecruited guards in the area. Don't be surprised if he breaks out in the near future. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1217456" first="Kashawn" last="Cordes"] | 6'4" SG | Team Richmond/Hermitage (VA)</strong></p>
<p>Cordes has tools that can't be taught. He is confident enough on the ball to handle but has the size to slide over to the two and operate off the ball. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1049814" first="Nicholas" last="Evans"] | 6'9" C | District BC/Gonzaga (DC)</strong></p>
<p>Evans is evidently gaining confidence as his experience grows. He's becoming a safe bet to pull down close to 10 rebounds each time he hits the court. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="897404" first="Paul" last="Lewis"] | 6'2" PG | [program_tooltip program_id='2078456' first='DC' last='Premier']/Bishop O'Connell (VA)</strong></p>
<p>Lewis recently reopened his recruitment. The dynamic lead guard prospect should attract many suitors this summer.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1110550" first="Jeremiah" last="Littlejohn"] | 6'4" SG | Rock Creek Christian (MD)</strong></p>
<p>Looking for an athletic wing who can score? Littlejohn is your guy. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="904636" first="Jordan" last="Nkoa-Abessolo"] | 6'5" PF | New World 3SSB/St. Maria Goretti (MD)</strong></p>
<p>Nkoa-Abessolo's main selling point is his unrelenting engine. That along with his college-ready frame make him an appealing prospect for scholarship-level programs to target. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="954640" first="Jordan" last="Pennick"] | 5'11" PG | Team Choo/Archbishop Spalding (MD)</strong></p>
<p>Pennick has quickly established a reputation as one of the area's most fierce competitors. He gives no ground defensively but can also hurt you with his scoring if you aren't prepared.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="904654" first="Bryce" last="Sewell"] | 5'10" PG | CTAB Elite/Georgetown Prep (MD)</strong></p>
<p>Sewell has emerged as a reliable lead guard for the Little Hoyas. He sets the tone defensively and makes very few mistakes on offense. </p>
