<p>Every year, players emerge as superstars. Some are seniors moving onto the next level and some have some high school years left. For these players, their names are established but they will now become the top options on their team.</p>
<p><b>[player_tooltip player_id="787669" first="Corey" last="Floyd Jr"]. (2022) | Roselle Catholic</b></p>
<p>Floyd is a star. He is one of the top players in the Class of 2022 and already has a bundle of Division I offers. Roselle Catholic is losing [player_tooltip player_id="766102" first="Niels" last="Lane"], [player_tooltip player_id="850316" first="Cliff" last="Omoruyi"], and C.J. Wilcher. That means that players like Floyd, and [player_tooltip player_id="850752" first="Simeon" last="Wilcher"], will have to take over as leaders. Floyd is a born leader and his game reflects that. There is a smoothness to his game that cannot be taught.</p>
<p><b>[player_tooltip player_id="787655" first="Jayden" last="Pierre"] (2022) | Elizabeth</b></p>
<p>One of the most intriguing prospects in New Jersey. [player_tooltip player_id="850359" first="Jordan" last="Price"] and [player_tooltip player_id="850354" first="D.J." last="Watkins"] will be moving on leaving Elizabeth with Pierre. That is not a bad spot to be in. Pierre scored 15.3 points per game and was one of the top ball handlers in the state. Pierre is a true point guard that can score at all three levels. He thrived at getting in the lane for some easy baskets.</p>
<p><b>[player_tooltip player_id="787644" first="Jaquan" last="Harris"] (2022) | St. Thomas Aquinas</b></p>
<p>The Trojans finally got over the hump this season and took home the GMC Tournament crown. Wake Forest commit [player_tooltip player_id="850329" first="Quadry" last="Adams"] was a huge reason why but the growth of Harris also helped. He is a 6’4 guard that can do it all on the floor. Harris knocked down 58 three’s and was a dynamic assist man. He will take the next step as a junior and become one of the top recruits in the state. </p>
<p><b>[player_tooltip player_id="902732" first="Mackenzie" last="Mgbako"] (2023) | Gill St. Bernard’s</b></p>
<p>Mgabko is the next great big man at Gill St. Bernard’s. He had the chance to learn from Princeton bound [player_tooltip player_id="850327" first="Zach" last="Martini"] this season. With Martini moving onto the Ivy League, Mgbako will see an increased role. He is ready for the task because of his wide skill set. Mgbako has time to completely old his game into something great.</p>
<p><b>[player_tooltip player_id="901992" first="Braxton" last="Jones"] (2022) | Trenton Catholic</b></p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="850324" first="Jamir" last="Watkins"] was one of the best scoring machines in New Jersey this season. The VCU commit will leave Trenton Catholic in need of another scoring threat. That is where Jones and his lethal jump shot come into play. The sophomore showed great range on his shot and was not afraid to let it fly, even in big moments. Jones has a chance to rise to elite level as a junior and set himself up well for the future.</p>
