Adama Sanogo Adama Sanogo 6'9" | PF Patrick School | 2020 NJ | The Patrick School
Sanogo recently cut his list to 10 schools including Seton Hall, Auburn, and Maryland. He is one of the most sought after recruits because if his incredible size and strength. Sanogo is 6’9 and is built like a truck. He has great footwork down low and strong hands to corral rebounds. Sanogo can dominate from the post on both ends. He is very athletic for his size and can finish with contact. He will continue to be a problem at the next level and beyond.
Akoldah Gak Akoldah Gak 6'11" | C Blair Academy | 2021 State NJ | Blair
We continue with another forward on this list. Gak is 6’11 and has a smaller build than Sanogo, but he has more length. This has made Gak an elite shot blocker on the defensive end. He is an above average athlete which allows him to run the floor well and rebound effectively. Gak has offers from Rutgers, Penn State, Miami, UConn, and Wake Forest. This is no surprise when watching him on the court.
Zarique Nutter Zarique Nutter 6'4" | SF Patrick School | 2020 State NJ | The Patrick School
Top-ranked player Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga 6'8" | SF Patrick School | 2020 #1 Nation NJ missed time with an ankle injury and Nutter stepped up early in the season. He showed up in the biggest games of the season. He scored 15 points in an early season win over Roselle Catholic and 20 points against nationally ranked Sierra Canyon (CA). Nutter added 22 points against St. Benedict’s and 2 against McEachern (GA) in a three-game stretch. He is a versatile guard that can take over a game on the offensive side of the ball.
Zach Hicks Zach Hicks 6'7" | SF Camden Catholic | 2021 State #154 Nation NJ | Camden Catholic
It is hard to find a more versatile forward than Hicks. To start, he was an elite scorer with 20 points per game. He was a double-double machine with 11 this season. He could step out and knock down a three which he did 49 times and Hicks got to the free throw line at will. The 6’7 junior was one of the most productive players in the state. He has offers from Sienna, Temple, and Richmond, among others. It would not be surprising to see that list grow come next season.
Jerome Brewer | Camden
Brewer was just another solid piece of the No. 1 team in the state. At 6’6, Brewer could do it all. Camden did not need his offensive prowess in every game given the talent they had with Lance Ware Lance Ware 6'9" | PF Camden | 2020 #42 Nation NJ and DJ Wagner, but he proved many times that he could be a dynamic offensive player. Brewer flashed his speed and athleticism on the defensive side and in the open floor. He will take the next step as a senior as he becomes a focal point of the offense.
