Earlier this week we analyzed the skill sets of players in the Top 10 of the 2025 prospect rankings.
Today we’ll give you six southeastern Pennsylvania rising freshman, from the outside the Top 10 of our 2025 rankings, whose names you need to know.
Zane Conlan – 6’4’’ / Devon Prep / Wing: A long and muscular (180 lbs.) 2025 prospect, Conlan is extremely tough and is not afraid to mix it up on the interior with older, bigger, more accomplished players. Conlan has displayed range on his jumper. Additionally, he has great hands which allow him to smoothly execute catch and shoot jumpers or receive the the ball in traffic and then finish strong. Word out of Devon Prep is that Conlan could crack the starting lineup at some point in the 2021-22 season.

In the half court he can muscle past a defender on his way to the mid-range or the rim. In transition he can simply beat defenders down the floor and lay the ball in for two points. On the grassroots scene McErlain suits up for Prep Select.
