Continue ReadingThe Philly High School Live sessions have become one of the most anticipated events of the annual June live recruiting period. Organized by John Mosco (Archbishop Wood Head Coach) and Andre Noble (Imhotep Charter Head Coach), Philly HS Live (Session I) will once again feature a field that is absolutely loaded with talented prospects.
Below is a preview of a 6-pack of “must-see” games from Saturday’s Philly HS Live (Session I) schedule that feature prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania.
St. Elizabeth (DE) vs. Radnor: In 2021-22 Radnor’s highly acclaimed Class of 2023 led them to the Central League and District 1-6A championship games as well as the 2nd Round of the state tournament. Now that group — shooting guard Jackson Hicke Jackson Hicke 6'5" | SF Radnor | 2023 State PA , stretch-4 Charlie Thornton Charlie Thornton 6'4" | SF Radnor | 2023 State PA , point guard Danny Rosenblum Danny Rosenblum 6'0" | PG Radnor | 2023 State PA and combo-guard Cooper Mueller Cooper Mueller 6'3" | SG Radnor | 2023 State PA — is back and in pursuit of that next level. Also, for Radnor, keep an eye on athletic rising junior Elijah Sellers who has played well during summer league action. 10:00AM at Jefferson Univ. on Court 3.
Executive Education ACS vs. Central York: The EEACS Raptors feature 6’10” rising senior Moustapha Sanoh Moustapha Sanoh 6'9" | PF Exec Education ACS | 2023 State PA who posted a monster spring for Team Final Red. Sanoh will get plenty of support from high level combo guard Rylan Muniz. Central York will counter with 2024 wing standout Greg Guidinger Greg Guidinger 6'6" | SF Central York | 2024 State PA and 2025 combo guard Ben Natal Ben Natal 6'2" | PG Central York | 2025 State PA . Guidinger can score at all three levels and recently picked up an offer from Drexel. 11:20AM at St. Joe’s Prep on Main Court.
Rutgers Prep (NJ) vs. Archbishop Ryan: Ryan’s 2024 combo-guard Darren Williams Darren Williams 6'4" | SG Archbishop Ryan | 2024 State PA played like a beast during the spring circuit. As a result, he picked up an offer from Drexel. If Williams plays at that same prominent level during Philly HS Live, more offers should come pouring in. Of course, big fellas Thomas Sorber Thomas Sorber 6'9" | C Archbishop Ryan | 2024 State #58 Nation PA will be dominating the paint at both ends for Ryan. Rising senior Michael “Zaire” Paris is a prospect flying under the radar on this Ryan squad. Paris can really fill it up. 2:50PM at Jefferson Univ. on Court 2.
St. Peter’s Prep (NJ) vs. Archbishop Carroll: Carroll’s deep and talented Class of 2023 takes on a traditional New Jersey basketball power in this contest. Carroll is led by guard prospect Dean Coleman-Newsome Dean Coleman-Newsome 6'2" | PG Archbishop Carroll | 2023 State PA , who absolutely crushed the spring grassroots circuit. Fellow 2023s Blake Deegan Blake Deegan 6'6" | SF Archbishop Carroll | 2023 State PA and Seamus Rogers Seamus Rogers 6'2" | CG Archbishop Carroll | 2023 State PA are DI prospects as well. Su-Meer Alleyne Su-Meer Alleyne 6'4" | SF Friends Central | 2025 State PA is a 2024 to watch for Carroll and 2025 shooting guard Jake West Jake West 6'1" | PG William Penn Charter | 2025 State #193 Nation PA is already a well-known commodity. 6:20PM at St. Joe’s Prep on Court 1.
Camden (NJ) vs. Roman Catholic: With the gradation of superstars Daniel Skillings and Khalil Framer, a new era of hoops is about to begin at RC. Leading the way for the 6A state champions is smooth 2023 combo guard Xzayvier Brown Xzayvier Brown 6'1" | PG Roman Catholic | 2023 State #233 Nation PA . He holds several DI offers and recently picked up one from USC. Taking the court with Brown will be 2025 interior prospect and returning starter Shareef Jackson Shareef Jackson 6'9" | C Roman Catholic | 2025 State #249 Nation PA as well as point guard Toby Ojukwu Toby Ojukwu 6'2" | PG Norcross | 2024 State GA . Ojukwu played outstanding ball for Philly Pride 2024s on the spring circuit and just received an offer from U of Albany. This group faces a brutal test on Saturday when they take the court against DJ Wagner and nationally ranked Camden. 8:40PM at Jefferson Univ. on Court 2.
Parkland vs. Central York: We previously mentioned the prospects to watch on Central York, so in this blurb we will focus on Parkland. For Parkland (2021-22 District 11 champions) it begins and ends with all-world shooting guard Nick Coval Nick Coval 6'1" | CG Parkland | 2024 State PA . He is a deceptively quick and athletic 2024 prospect who can score at all three levels. Coval proved his scoring prowess yet again when he recently dropped 31 points on Reading in a summer league game. He holds offers from Bucknell, Drexel, Penn and Robert Morris. 1:40PM at St. Joe’s Prep on Court 3.
