Donovan McKoy Donovan McKoy 6'6" | SF St. Joseph (Mont.) | 2023 State NJ , 6’6 SF St. Joseph (Mont.) 2023
McKoy has the potential to have a breakout summer for the NJ Panthers with his ability to impact the game in a variety of ways. The 6’6 wing is a big-time athlete who finishes strong above the rim and does not mind contact. McKoy is more than just a slasher as he can also knock down jumpers from the perimeter and rises up over smaller defenders. He has the athleticism to defend multiple positions on the floor and skies for rebounds on both ends. McKoy has been receiving offers and interests from colleges for football, but that should not diminish his ability to have a strong summer on the hardwood.
Sherif Guinyard Sherif Guinyard 6'6" | SF St. Thomas Aquinas | 2023 State NJ , 6’6 SF St. Thomas Aquinas 2023
Guinyard is a receiver on the Trojans’ football team, but he makes plays on the court with his combination of length and athleticism. The 6’6 wing runs the floor hard, setting himself up for easy dunks and layups in transition. Guinyard uses his body to draw contact in the paint and is gaining confidence on his jumper. He uses his length to influence shots around the basket and rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor. Guinyard is a lanky forward prospect whose big-time motor will help him have a good summer for the NJ Bulldogs .
Jaylan Hornsby, 6’3 SG Overbrook 2024
Hornsby is a standout on both the hardwood and the gridiron for the Rams with his ability to make plays at both ends of the floor. The 6’3 guard is at his best attacking the basket as he is a strong finisher around the rim and is unafraid of drawing contact. Hornsby can also score in the mid-range and is an underrated passer. He has the length to defend both backcourt spots and knows how to play off the ball. Hornsby has already had a strong spring for the NJ Scholars and it should carry over into the summer.
Dylan Seay Dylan Seay 6'5" | PF Camden | 2024 NJ , 6’5 PF St. John Vianney 2024
Seay fought through injuries during his sophomore season, but he still had a solid 2021-22 campaign. The 6’5 forward has a strong frame, which he uses to get position down low and finish through contact. Seay is also capable of playing on the perimeter as he has an underrated handle and can make opponents pay for giving him space on the perimeter. He is tough to box out on both ends of the floor and finds his teammates in the halfcourt. Seay is a physical forward prospect who has the potential to have a strong summer.
Griffin Linstra Griffin Linstra 6'5" | CG Manasquan | 2025 State NJ , 6’3 CG Manasquan 2025
Linstra had a good debut season for the Warriors and it should carry over into the summer for Team Rio University. The 6’3 guard is one of the top defenders in the 2025 class as he slides his feet well and makes it difficult for opponents to get good shots off in the half court. Linstra has a good handle and makes few mistakes with the ball in his hands. He moves well off the ball and is a solid finisher around the basket. Linstra also plays on the Manasquan soccer team and uses his physicality and toughness to make plays on both ends of the floor.
