Continue ReadingThe City of Brotherly Love and the surrounding area are never without elite basketball players. So much so that guys like Duren (Memphis), Williams (LSU), and Brown (Penn St) are already committed to play at the next level. Yet, there are still plenty of high caliber players whose services colleges are trying to secure.
Ryan Dunn | 6’7 W Perkiomen + NY Jayhawks
The late-bloomer from NY racked up since joining the Perkiomen Program. Boston College, Minnesota, UVA, Georgetown, Maryland, Oklahoma St, Pitt and South Carolina all made his Top 8. Pitt is making him a top priority, as Coach Capel & staff made a point to get him on an official visit in late August. But the battle to win Dunn’s services is far from over.
Khalil Farmer Khalil Farmer PG Roman Catholic | 2022 State PA | 6’4 G Roman Catholic + Philly Pride
Farmer’s recruitment took off as he averaged 20 points for Roman and went from a local name-to-know to a regional one. He currently holds offers from Fairfield, Wagner, Hofstra, Towson, St. Peter’s, Marist, Binghamton, Drexel, Albany, BostonU, Robert, Morris, and NJIT.
Chas Kelley Chas Kelley 6'5" | PG Phelps | 2022 State PA | 6’5 G Phelps + Team Durant
Chas has accrued a mix of high and mid major offers after a dynamic junior season and deep Peach Jam run with Team Durant. He recently cut his list to 6: Butler, DePail, Rutgers, George Mason, Ohio, and Boston College. Throughout September, he’s taking his official visits, having already completed Butler (9/1-3) and Boston College (9/7-8). Kelley plans to visit DePaul 9/17-19 and will schedule the others soon after.
Demetrius Lilley Demetrius Lilley 6'8" | PF Lower Merion | 2022 State PA | 6’9 C Lower Merion + Philly Pride
After slimming down, the improvement in Lilley’s game mirrored his recruitment. New Mexico St, Bryant, St. Joe’s, Drexel, and LaSalle are on his offer list now. If he follows the same growth curve from junior year, Demetrius should rack up additional offers from the A10, NEC, and more.
Dereck Lively II Dereck Lively II 7'1" | C Westtown School | 2022 State #3 Nation PA | 7’2 C Westtown + Team Final
Westtown had a limited season, but with what Dereck did for Team Final on the way to their Peach Jam Championship, he’s now a consensus top three player in the country and arguably above number two. He can go anywhere he wants, including G-League Ignite and Overtime, but Michigan, UNC, USC, FSU, Penn St, Duke, and UK make up his Top 7. With that said, he can take his time with making a final decision.
Justin Moore Justin Moore 6'1" | CG Archbishop Wood | 2022 State PA | 6’2 G Archbishop Wood + K-Low
J-Moore had a solid junior season at McDevitt before the school’s closure, then he killed it on the sneaker circuit splitting PG reps with Rutgers commit Derek Simpson. Schools like Drexel, Mount St. Mary’s, Albany, and Rider are in the mix for him. Based on the early returns since Justin arrived at Wood, other mid majors will be on him soon.
Gabriel Moss Gabriel Moss 6'8" | C Hill School | 2022 State PA | 6’8 F/C Hill School + Philly Pride
Moss began receiving scholarship offers early on in his high school career and it has been fairly steady since then, picking up BostonU most recently. He also holds Albany, Siena, LaSalle, Drexel, and Bryant offers. Expected to be more of a focal point as a senior, the opportunity to showcase more of his game on a talented team should lead to a boost in Gabe’s recruiting.
Daniel Skillings Daniel Skillings 6'5" | SG Roman Catholic | 2022 State PA | 6’7 W Roman Catholic + Philly Pride
Skillings’s offer sheet consists of over two dozen offers from across high major and mid major conferences. Like his backcourt mate Farmer, Daniel rocketed up recruiting boards after joining Roman last summer. Now ACC, Big Ten and Big East programs are clamoring to add the pre-season front-runner for 2022 Philly Catholic MVP, and Cincinnati’s already got him on campus for a visit.
