<p>The Class of 2021 has one more year to show their ability. These players will come out with a purpose and play with a chip on their shoulder. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900316" first="Ernest" last="Carter"] | Rahway</strong></p>
<p>Carter went through a stretch midseason where he showed his potential. He scored 26, 34, 20, and 35 points in consecutive games. Consistency was his main problem but Carter showed that he has what it takes to take over offensively. This is something he can do as a senior for Rahway.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900369" first="Ryan" last="Roney"] | Gloucester Catholic</strong></p>
<p>Roney can climb up the rankings quickly once he steps on the floor next season. He is a perimeter player that led his team in scoring as a junior and will most likely do the same as a senior. Roney scored 505 total points and was a marksman from deep. He is a name to keep an eye on around the state once the season begins.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900329" first="Marcus" last="Pierce"] | St. Joe’s (Hamm.)</strong></p>
<p>Pierce was as dynamic as they come as a junior. He scored 551 total points and made 172 free throws. At 6’1, he has decent size but he makes up for it in strength when going to the basket. Drawing contact and getting to the line is a skill on the basketball court and it is one that Pierce has.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900304" first="Brandon" last="Pfeifer"] | Allentown</strong></p>
<p>Pfeifer is another player that has arrived but will take a major step as a senior. He was one of the top shooters in the state wiht 71 three’s and that is where he did most of his work. Pfeifer will continue to improve as a player and move forward. He will be an interesting player for Allentown, a team that can make a run next season.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="773397" first="Giye" last="Jenkins"] | Seton Hall Prep</strong></p>
<p>Jenkins was a model of consistency for Seton Hall Prep. He scored in double-figures 20 times and mainly stayed between 10 and 20 points. He was always there for his team when they needed a play to be made. Jenkins is a leader. He can do many things well on the court.</p>
<p><strong>DaSean Lopez | Wildwood Catholic</strong></p>
<p>Lopez was not a main option on the offensive end this season but he was a strong defender and rebounder. Wildwood Catholic is losing two Division I players in [player_tooltip player_id="896442" first="Jahlil" last="White"] and [player_tooltip player_id="766090" first="Taj" last="Thweatt"]. They will need someone to step up and Lopez can fill a void. He will immediately take over a bigger role on the offensive end next season and this will do a great deal for his stock.</p>
