Dionte Alexander Dionte Alexander 6'3" | SG St. Maria Goretti | 2023 State MD | Team BBC/Goretti (MD) ’23
Alexander is currently ranked inside the top-40 in 2023 on Prep Hoops Maryland. He has the potential to be higher on the list though. Alexander is a good athlete who puts the ball in the hole and will compete defensively.
Isaiah Arnold Isaiah Arnold 6'2" | PG DeMatha | 2023 State MD | Prospect U/DeMatha (MD) ’23
Arnold reinforced his credentials as a top-tier shooter throughout the summer league with DeMatha. He shot 41% from behind the arc on high volume. Arnold is one or two big games away from blowing up on the grassroots circuit.
AJ Clark AJ Clark 6'2" | SG Menchville | 2023 State VA | Team Loaded 757/Menchville (VA) ’23
It’s amazing that Clark does not have a D1 offer to date. One of the breakout performers of Pitt Jam Fest, he has tools that can’t be taught to go along with a motor that will run all day long. Expect Clark to turn more heads during the final evaluation period.
Cole Cosby Cole Cosby 6'4" | SF St. Stephen's And St. Agnes | 2023 State VA | Prospect U/SSSAS (VA) ’23
All signs are pointing to a breakout senior campaign for Cosby. He is a safe bet to average double figures in scoring to go along with at least 5 boards per game. Cosby is a good three-point shooter who gets to his spots from mid-range and helps his team control the glass.
Sean Donovan Sean Donovan 6'7" | C W.T. Woodson | 2024 State VA | NOVA Cavaliers/WT Woodson (VA) ’24
Donovan is a versatile forward who plays for a very good NOVA Cavaliers squad. His team has been very competitive throughout the AAU season. We expect that trend should continue this weekend at the Grassroots Finale in Virginia Beach. Donovan will likely factor significantly into any positive result the team achieves.
Dezmond Hopkins Dezmond Hopkins 6'0" | CG Patriot | 2024 State VA | VA Playmakers /Patriot (VA) ’24
We somehow omitted Hopkins from our recent 2024 rankings update. This was an egregious but honest mistake. Hopkins is a premier bucket getter in Northern Virginia. Look for him to be among the top of the leaderboards for the remainder of his high school career.
Chase Lawton Chase Lawton 6'1" | SG Bishop McNamara | 2023 State MD | District BC/Bishop McNamara (MD) ’23
Lawton was one of the top performers at the DMV Summer Warmup. He brings creativity and potent shot-making ability to any backcourt. Expect him to continue his strong run of play this weekend.
