Camden Burns Camden Burns 6'0" | CG SCH Academy | 2024 State PA – 5’11” / Senior / SCH Academy / NJ Scholars Elite / Combo Guard: SCHA was missing superstar injured Alassane Amadou Alassane Amadou 6'9" | PF SCH Academy | 2023 State #188 Nation PA (Marquette) this weekend, so Burns stepped up and showed why he is poised for a tremendous senior season. This multi-skilled guard got things rolling by scoring 21 points (3 triples) for SCHA in their win over Germantown Friends. In addition to scoring, Burns facilitated for his teammates and played solid defense.
Marco Ceppo – 6’0” / Senior / Rocktop Academy / Combo Guard: A native of Argentina, Ceppo possesses an extremely polished skill set. He is capable of scoring in bunches but does not force the action and is willing to make the extra pass. His handles are solid enough that Ceppo can play point guard if needed. A smooth jump shot is he most effective scoring threat.
Dean Coleman-Newsome Dean Coleman-Newsome 6'2" | PG Archbishop Carroll | 2023 State PA – 6’2” / Senior / Archbishop Carroll / Gibbs Elite / Combo Guard: How Coleman-Newsome remains uncommitted is a mystery to us. In Carroll’s scrimmages vs. Radnor and Shipley, “DCN” was a force. He ran the show for Carroll, scoring when needed and distributing when his teammates were open. “DCN’s” improved 3-point shooting makes him a legitimate threat from deep.
Dom DeMito Dom DeMito 5'11" | CG Pope John Paul II | 2024 State PA – 5’11” / Junior / Pope John Paul II / Eastern PA Elite / Point Guard: This backcourt prospect is off to fast start thanks to a 20-point performance (9/10 on FTs; one 3PM) in PJP’s win over Quakertown. On Saturday Demito was also a plus defender who was responsible for several steals that led to easy buckets for PJP. Demito is a multi-skilled playmaker who is certain to grab the attention of college coaches this winter.
Jordan Dill Jordan Dill 5'11" | CG Germantown Friends | 2026 State PA – 6’3” / Freshman / Germantown Friends / NJ Scholars Elite / Combo Guard: Dill’s maiden voyage as the No. 1 option at GFS was a thing of beauty. He scored at all three levels on his way to registering 27 points (4 triples). Dill knows how to get to his spots and plays with confidence. When he adds muscle to his frame, this lefty is going to be scary good. Dill also snagged 7 rebounds.
Patrese Feamster Patrese Feamster 6'3" | SG Friends Central | 2027 PA – 6’3” / Freshman / SCH Academy / Team Final / Combo Guard: One of the most talked about freshmen in SEPA tipped off his high school career by starting and putting up a 20-point effort. Still, it is the poise and composure this 2026 played with during his first varsity high school game that really impressed. He is a smooth prospect who can run as a lead guard or play off the ball.
Darius Frazier – 6’4” / Junior / Germantown Friends / BW Elite / Wing: The former St. Joe’s Prep prospect had an immediate impact for his new school. Frazier scored 16 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Frazier can pop jumpers from numerous spots. Plus, his ability to slash to the rim for a catch and finish will complement Jordan Dill Jordan Dill 5'11" | CG Germantown Friends | 2026 State PA ‘s game nicely.
Earle Greer, Jr. – 6’7” / Senior / Rocktop Academy / Team Final Red / Shooting Guard: Greer (pic above) is easily the hottest prospect in the state right now. This scoring guard with an automatic jumper and a deep back of mid-range tricks was once again unstoppable. Over the weekend he recorded a 50 spot vs. League Bound (NJ). Then followed that performance with 35 points against CBA (Spain).
Jaren Morton Jaren Morton 6'5" | SG SCH Academy | 2023 State PA – 6’5” / Senior / SCH Academy / SJ Hoops Elite / Wing: The fact that Morton is mentioned here should come as no surprise. After a monster “fall ball” run, Morton opened the season by notching a double-double…16 points and 10 boards. The improved 3-point shooting Morton displayed this fall carried over to the season opener. His energy and continuous communication with teammates are impressive.
Charlie Thornton Charlie Thornton 6'4" | SF Radnor | 2023 State PA – 6’5” / Senior / Radnor / Prim3Tim3 / Wing: Radnor was missing two starters for their “tri-scrimmage” event against Shipley and Archbishop Carroll. So, Thornton quickly elevated to the No. 1 option role. He displayed three-level scoring abilities and great end to end speed. Official stats were not available, but Thornton appeared to post double digits in both scrimmages.
