Jason Nelson Jason Nelson 5'8" | PG John Marshall | 2021 State VA ’21
Nelson showcases the change of pace and understanding that is necessary to be successful at the next level. The Richmond commit should finish his career with a boatload of assists.
Trey Nelson ’21
One of the most impressive parts of Nelson’s overall game is his efficiency. He isn’t afraid to reverse the ball and make the simple plays that win games but can certainly wow you with his passing at times.
Roland Polite ’21
Polite is a natural playmaker on both ends of the floor. He’s a great defender who rips the ball away from ball-handlers regularly because of his strong hands. And on the offensive end, he can make some really good passes at times, especially in transition.
Derik Queen ’24
Queen’s playmaking instincts are among the most desirable attributes he possesses. It’s rare to see such a talented player enjoy feeding his teammates, but he’s simply wired to do so.
Trevor Smith Trevor Smith 5'11" | PG Woodside | 2023 State #267 Nation VA ’23
It doesn’t take long to watch Smith play before you see his IQ jump off the page. He does the little things like simple post entries that are often overlooked but can also keep things looking routine as the degree of difficulty increases.
Mason So Mason So 6'1" | PG DeMatha | 2023 State MD ’23
So has a very good skill base and a tendency to look for the open man. He can get wherever he wants to on the court and has a knack for hitting cutters in stride.
Tye Thompson ’21
Thompson plays a mature brand of basketball from the lead guard spot. He is a smooth operator with the ball who more often than not will make the right play.
