<p>Thanks to coach Alvarado and his staff for having us attend his team's open gym. St Francis College was in attendance. We were entertained with a spirited workout of drills and competitive games.</p>
<p><strong>RJ Green 6”5. 2022</strong></p>
<p>Major big-time stud. Scores at all three levels. Hard to deny getting to the rim.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1045689" first="Blaise" last="New"]. 5”9. 2023</strong></p>
<p>A true point guard. Fearless getting into the lane. Great court vision and a coach on the floor.</p>
<p><strong>Bangaly Berete 6”4. 2023</strong></p>
<p>Really good defender. High motor. Has a game that improves every time I see him. Gets to the rim off the bounce.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1195560" first="Jaylen" last="Pray"]. 6”8. 2024</strong></p>
<p>A ton of potential. Still growing. Uses his body to score inside. </p>
<p><strong>Lawrence Mitchell 6”2. 2023</strong></p>
<p>Very strong athletic slasher. Has shown the ability to split defenders in the half-court and finish inside.</p>
<p><strong>Andy Kim 6”3. 2022</strong></p>
<p> Very vocal player. Excellent court vision. Good ball-handler and passer. Can score with either hand.</p>
<p><strong>Johnny Keenan 5”9. 2025</strong></p>
<p>As a freshman, he had no fear in the open gym. Very crafty ball handler. Was able to weave his way inside and find an open teammate or score himself. Displayed a step-back three a few times.</p>
<p><strong>Kris Banwareesingh. 2025</strong></p>
<p>An elite shooter. A transfer from Ossining as an eighth-grader he averaged 20 ppg.</p>
<p><strong>Taj Walters 6”5. 2024</strong></p>
<p>Extremely skilled player. A physical scorer inmates contact.</p>
<p><strong>Carlos Rodriquez 6”2. 2024</strong></p>
<p>A pure scorer of the basketball</p>
<p><strong>Marcel Henry. 6”6. 2024</strong></p>
<p>High motor on this big player. A rugged player with a soft shooting touch.</p>
<p><strong>A J Rodriquez. 2022</strong></p>
<p>A multidimensional player does everything well.</p>
