Elijah Gertrude Elijah Gertrude 6'4" | SG Hudson Catholic | 2023 State #145 Nation NJ , 6’4 SG Hudson Catholic
Gertrude took a big leap up in the rankings as he went up 19 spots in the rankings. The 6’4 guard has a strong frame, which he uses to finish around the basket and draw contact. Gertrude has a nice handle and is capable of knocking down jumpers from behind the arc. He is a strong rebounder for a guard and can defend multiple spots on the floor. Gertrude’s ability to make an impact on both ends of the floor has helped his stock in a big way and it should only continue to go up from there.
Matt Kinzler Matt Kinzler 6'7" | PF St. Peter's Prep | 2023 State NJ , 6’7 SG St. Peter’s Prep
Kinzler had a similar jump to Gertrude as he also went up 19 spots in the update. The 6’7 wing has a smooth release on his jumper and uses his size to shoot over smaller defenders. Kinzler is more than just a shooter as he can also handle the ball on the perimeter and finish around the basket. He knows how to free himself for open jumpers on the perimeter and has the potential to defend multiple positions due to his size and length. Kinzler is a sharp-shooting wing who is in store for a big junior season.
Tyler Koenig Tyler Koenig 6'9" | PF Pioneer Academy | 2023 State NJ , 6’9 PF DePaul Catholic
Koenig went up 16 spots in the rankings and could see his stock rise even further. The 6’9 forward knows how to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. Koenig shows a nice release on his free throws, giving him the potential to hit jumpers away from the basket on a consistent basis. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his size to altar shots around the basket. Koenig is in line for a monster 2021-22 season as he looks to be one of the top big men in the Big North Conference.
Joshua Ingram Joshua Ingram 6'4" | SG St. Joe's Metuchen | 2023 State NJ , 6’3 SG St. Joe’s Metuchen
Ingram saw his stock go up 15 spots in the rankings update, which should carry over into the winter. The 6’3 guard has a good shooting stroke as he wastes little motion in his release. Ingram is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim from the perimeter and score in the mid-range. He is an underrated passer and works hard on the defensive end. Ingram’s ability to hit shots from the perimeter combined with his play-making makes him an intriguing prospect to watch in the GMC this season.
Nyle Coleman Nyle Coleman 5'10" | PG Peddie | 2023 State NJ , 5’9 PG Peddie
Coleman also went up 15 spots in the update after a strong summer with the Jersey Force . The 5’9 floor general is lightning quick with the ball in his hands and is a good finisher around the basket. Coleman can shoot from either off the dribble or catch with a fast release on his jumper. He is a good passer and uses his quickness to cause problems on the defensive end. Coleman’s combination of quickness and shooting is something that will help his stock in a big way this coming season.
