Albert Vargas, Wheels Academy- Point Guard: Albert is an absolute gem to watch. Albert was the M.V.P. of the skills academy. A true competitor who leaves it on the floor. Albert’s confidence is at an all time high as he ran the show dropping pin point passes and knocking down the open shot. Albert is a feisty defender and will be a college coaches dream.
Tahron Allen Tahron Allen 6'4" | SF BK Collegiate | 2021 State NY , Brooklyn Collegiate-Guard: Intriguing prospect. A left handed knock-down shooter with a great build. Tahron’s feel for the game has improved and he is definitely a little more bouncy. Tahron’s ball handling skills have improved immensely. A great kid with a great attitude and a NCAA qualifier. College coaches should take notice.
Nick Folk Nick Folk 6'0" | PG Xaverian | 2021 State NY , Xaverian High School-Combo Guard: Nick has a high I.Q. and can play both guard positions. Nick is a shot maker and his shot is fluid. He runs the team and plays with an edge. When Nick is off the ball, he is an absolute scorer. Nick is a solid mid to low division I player.
Jazan Johnson, Cardozo High School-Guard: Jazan has a good feel for the game an I.Q. for the game. Obviously well coached. Jazan is a uber athlete and his shot is looking better. Jazan could be an elite defender at the college level. Keep an eye on Jazan as he is class 2022.
Randy Crosby Randy Crosby 6'1" | SG Wheels | 2021 State NY , Wheels Academy-Combo Guard: I have seen this prospect a few times now and he is steadily knocking the rust off. A lead guard that has a great build with strength and athleticism who can get to his sweet spot to score. He is a capable shooter and when he gets to the basket he can absorb contact and finish with either hand. Tough as nails and a good defender. Randy is a hard worker on the court.
Jaden Pena Jaden Pena 6'6" | PG Xaverian | 2021 State NY , Xaverian High School-Combo Forward: A rugged type inside outside player. His wing skills are vastly improving. Over time, Jaden has become a capable outside shooter. On the collegiate level he could be a stretch four man, and also capable of posting up and scoring inside. A good rebounder and team defender with a good I.Q. and competes on every play. Jaden has a great attitude.
Kipplyn Richvine Kipplyn Richvine 6'1" | PG South Shore | 2021 State NY , South Shore High School-Combo Guard: Kipp is the ultimate competitor and winner. He can play both guard spots as well as defend. When he plays the point, the is a good passer and makes good decisions. Attacks the lane to score and attacks to create shots when necessary. It is very hard to keep Kipp out of the lane. A scorer on all three levels. Kipp is an Uber athlete and he is a NCAA qualifier.
Ziare Wells, Saint Benedict Prep-Wing: Ziare is a division I athlete. A lefty wing that can hit open shots and his game continues to evolve. He attacks the rim to score and can create his own shot. His ball handling is much improved, and decision making skills have increased. Ziare is ultra smooth and he looks every bit of 6’6. Keep an eye out for Ziare as he is class of 2022.
