Darnell Dantzler-G-2025-Holy Angels Catholic School, MD
Darnell is a 5’9, 142 pound point guard who has a high basketball IQ. He is finishing out his 8th grade year, but playing on the high school AAU team. He handles the ball well and can finish with both hands around the basket. Darnell also anticipates the development of plays well. On defense, he can defend other guards and will compete. If he continues to perfect his shot beyond the arc and create space on his midrange pull-up, Darnell will be a highly recruited player for D1-D2-D3 programs in the future.
Ben Brown-2024-C-Lochraven High School
Ben is a 6’6, 243 pound center who moves his feet and runs the floor well. He is the anchor in the middle on defense and does a great job communicating with his teammates on the floor. On offense, Ben looks to post up or clean up on the glass every trip down the floor. If he continues to work on his inside game, he will be looking at many D1 offers.
Mathew Sullivan-2023-SG-Church Farm School
Mathew is a 6’5, 185 pound guard who has great athleticism. He can get to the basket with his ball handle, and does a good job crashing the glass on offense and defense. Defensively, Mathew gets his hands on a lot of passes. If Mathew continues getting stronger and working on his mid range, he will fit many D2-D3 programs.
Nathaniel Dorsey-2023-G-Dock Academy
Nathaniel is a 5’11, 165 pound combo guard who is athletic and competitive. He has overall quickness, and can handle the ball well. Nate can finish on either side of the basket, and is not afraid to take the big shot when his team needs it. On defense, Nathaniel is looking for the best player to defend. If Nathaniel continues to get stronger and improve his midrange shot, he will be highly recruited D2-D3 level.
Donovan Flamer-2024-F-New Town High School, MD
Donovan is a 6’6, 155 pound wing who has a very long wingspan. He is very active around the rim on offense and defense. Currently he defends the power forward and center positions, but I can see him extending to the small forwards because of his athleticism. Donovan is not done growing yet. If he continues to work on his upper body strength and mid range shots, D1-D2 schools will be knocking at his door.
