Arts will be a team to watch in Essex County this season, creating an opportunity for Godwin to breakout.

Philip Unangst Philip Unangst 6'6" | SF Hillsborough | 2024 State NJ , 6’6 SF St. Thomas Aquinas

The lanky 6’6 wing explodes to the basket and knows how to finish strong above the rim. Unangst can make layups through contact and shoots the ball with confidence from the perimeter. He is a good rebounder and has the athleticism to defend multiple positions. Unangst’s combination of athleticism, size and skill makes him a breakout candidate in the GMC.
Jaylan Hornsby, 6’3 SG Overbrook
Hornsby had a huge debut season for the Rams and should be one of the top players in the Tri-County Conference. The athletic 6’3 guard can finish in a variety of ways around the rim and does not mind contact.

He is a strong rebounder and knows how to jump passing lanes on the defensive end. Hornsby is an athletic, two-way guard prospect who will be a player to watch in South Jersey this season.
Luke Billings Luke Billings 6'1" | SG Robbinsville | 2024 NJ , 6’1 SG Robbinsville
Billings had an impactful debut season for Robbinsville and will be tasked with a bigger scoring load with the graduation of Ryan Smith Ryan Smith 6'5" | SF Robbinsville | 2021 State NJ .
