UCC: Prospects to Rise Before Season

<p>The UCC is full of powerhouse programs that dominate their competition. These are the type of players that will keep that tradition going.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900327" first="Elijah" last="Barlow"] | Union Catholic</strong></p> <p>Barlow is one of the biggest hidden gems in the state. He is a lanky combo guard that can play anywhere on the perimeter. Barlow is quick in the open floor and can spot up and shoot with range. He is the type of player that can take over a game. Barlow has a smoothness to his motions that makes the game look effortless.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900316" first="Ernest" last="Carter"] | Rahway</strong></p> <p>Carter has found himself at the top of a talented Rahway team. They are trying to crawl to the top of their division and Carter is a piece that can help. He thrives at getting to the rim and has a soft touch that helps him finish tough layups. Carter is a strong player that can score with contact and get to the line.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900362" first="Daniel" last="Boateng"] | Woodbridge</strong></p> <p>It was a tough season for Woodbridge because of their youth. Boateng can turn the luck around in one season. The 6’5 forward is a stretch four that can do it all on the floor. He is a big time scorer and knows how to use his size down low to rebound. Boateng will emerge as one of the top duel-threats in the area.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900314" first="Babacar" last="Diallo"] | The Patrick School</strong></p> <p>The Patrick School is a nationally ranked program. They will be losing names like [player_tooltip player_id="850498" first="Jonathan" last="Kuminga"], [player_tooltip player_id="850509" first="Zarique" last="Nutter"], [player_tooltip player_id="828326" first="Noah" last="Farrakhan"], and [player_tooltip player_id="850500" first="Adama" last="Sanogo"]. This is a chance for Diallo to step up and become the next big name coming out of the legendary program.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900382" first="Gavin" last="Barrett"] | Union</strong></p> <p>Barrett is a player that could see his name skyrocket on the rankings. He is a shifty point guard that runs the offense like a coach on the floor. He is a talented game manager. Barrett has great speed that he shows off with or without the ball.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="900349" first="Pascal" last="Dodard"] | Elizabeth</strong></p> <p>Elizabeth is losing some key pieces but [player_tooltip player_id="787655" first="Jayden" last="Pierre"] is returning for his junior year. Dodard will be a focal point of the offense along with Pierre. He will have more scoring chances this season since they are losing two key seniors. Dodard will have to use his aggression and ability to get to the rim for some easy buckets.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
