- Damani Barley Damani Barley 6'5" | PG Rochester East | 2023 State #158 Nation NY , East – A silky smooth 6’5 guard who can efficiently run the one or the two. A knockdown shooter off the catch or dribble and can find a space in any defense to attack the gaps. Not to mention Barley has added another year in the weight room. This upcoming season he will be the front runner for Player of the Year. Currently holds offers from Canisius, Bryant, Albany, and Siena.
- Anthony Graziano Anthony Graziano 6'6" | PF St Joseph by the Sea | 2023 State NY , Pittsford Mendon – A strong guard with all the tools to be a great next-level player. 6’3, speed, length, and athleticism. Extremely fundamental with a smooth mid-range game that causes havoc on other team’s defenses. Also, a football player with multiple division 1 football offers.
- Ryan Heath Ryan Heath 6'0" | PG Irondequoit | 2023 State NY , West Irondequoit – The best scorer in the area regardless of class, Heath flat out puts the ball in the basket. From three mid-range or finishing at the rim, Heath has every tool available in his offensive arsenal. The last time I saw Heath, he scored 30 points while shooting 100% from the field, very impressive.
- Xavier Gissendanner, West Irondequoit – A terrific wing with ideal size and strength. This will be Gissendanner’s first year at Irondequoit, and the fans will fall in love with his work ethic, defensive tenacity, and offensive efficiency.
- Emmanuel Leftenant Emmanuel Leftenant 6'0" | SG Eastridge | 2023 NY , East Irondequoit – Emmanuel “Hollywood” Leftenant comes into this season as the player everyone wants to watch. Leftenant is a highlight waiting to happen with his flashy passing or dazzling handles. This kid is a must-watch player this year.
- Mykel White, Aquinas Institute – White is a coach’s dream, a guy who will do anything a coach asks him to do. He is a phenomenal passer who did a great job running his team’s offense last year. He comes into this year adding a very nice shot to his arsenal.
- Nolan Smith, Honeoye Falls-Lima – Smith is the one prospect who will most likely move to the number one spot by the end of the season. He is unknown to most as he is just outside of the Rochester area, but this kid has all the tools to be a top prospect. He is a 6’5 forward with great ball skills and shooting touch, not many holes in his game, and will make a name for himself this year in Rochester.
- Jason Gibbs Jason Gibbs 5'10" | PG Churchville-Chili | 2023 State NY , Churchville Chili – Gibbs is one of if not the quickest player in Rochester. 5’8 Guard who can change his speed like no other, plus finishes at the basket extremely well. Very nice ball-handler who always stays poised and under composed in all game situations.
- Aiden Cook, Penfield – Cook comes into the season as a sniper from deep. You cannot give him any daylight or he will make you pay shot after shot. Put in some work in the offseason on his game off the dribble, very interested in seeing how it has developed.
- Shawn Mason, Webster Thomas – A High IQ point guard who has phenomenal ball-handling skills. Mason looks to lead what might be the best team in Rochester to a sectional title. He will help take pressure off of their two offensive juggernauts Andrew Quinn Andrew Quinn 6'4" | SG Webster Thomas | 2022 State NY and Jackson Kulik Jackson Kulik 6'7" | SF Webster Thomas | 2022 State NY with his fantastic shooting ability.
