The HG FAA event featured the best rising 9th and 10th graders from all over the country and college coaches came out in droves to watch these ballers. As is typical of basketball camps at this level -- guards dominated the ball, there was a great deal of isolation play and defense was optional. Despite the up and down, freelancing style of play, there were numerous southeastern Pennsylvania campers in attendance who caught our eye. Below is a list of those prospects who impressed at the Hoop Group FAA Camp.   GUARDS [player_tooltip player_id="1173982" first="Ty" last="Burton"] – 6’0’’ / Sophomore / Lampeter-Strasburg / Philly Pride National UAA / Combo Guard [player_tooltip player_id="1123891" first="Laquan" last="Byrd"] – 6’1’’ / Sophomore / Constitution / Team Final Red / Combo Guard Zuri Harris – 5’10’’ / Sophomore / Cardinal O’Hara / K-Low Elite / Shooting Guard Mike “Deuce” Jones – 6’2’’ / Sophomore / Archbishop Ryan / Team Final EYBL / Combo Guard Dior Kennedy – 6’2’’ / Sophomore / Coatesville / We R1 / Combo Guard William Littles – 5’10’’ / Sophomore / Shipley School / East Coast Power / Shooting Guard Jacob Meachum – 5’8’’ / Freshman / Hill School / K-Low Elite / Point Guard Gyasi Miller – 5’10’’ / Sophomore / Shipley School / Philly Pride Select / Point Guard Toby Ojukwu – 6’1’’ / Sophomore / Roman Catholic / Philly Pride Select / Combo Guard [player_tooltip player_id="1195918" first="Nicholas" last="Sosa"] – 5’8’’ / Sophomore / Reading / Reading KTB / Point Guard [player_tooltip player_id="991421" first="Ryan" last="Williams"] – 6’1’’ / Sophomore / Malvern Prep / Philly Pride National UAA / Point Guard FORWARDS Luke Bevilacqua – 6’10” / Sophomore / Neumann Goretti / Team Final EYBL / Power Forward [player_tooltip player_id="1118630" first="Nelson" last="Lamizana"] – 6’7” / Sophomore / WC Henderson / Philly Pride Select / Power Forward Ryan Mercurius – 6’0” / Freshman / Nazareth / East Coast Prep / Wing [player_tooltip player_id="1192643" first="Myles" last="Mucius"] – 6’6’’ / Sophomore / Phelps School / PSA Cardinals / Wing Nigel Pierman – 6’4’’ / Freshman / Harriton / Philly Triple Threat / Power Forward Thomas Sorber – 6’9’’ / Sophomore / Archbishop Ryan / Team Final EYBL / Power Forward [player_tooltip player_id="1173985" first="Jeremiah" last="White"] – 6’6’’ / Sophomore / Imhotep / Philly Pride National UAA / Wing CENTERS: [player_tooltip player_id="1173984" first="Matt" last="Gilhool"] – 6’10” / Sophomore / Elizabethtown / Philly Pride National UAA / Center **Ugonna Kingsley – 6’11” / Sophomore / TBD / Team New England / Center: Kngsley is not a Pennsylvania prospect (He is from Nigeria and has only been in the states for a couple of weeks.), but you need to remember his name because he was the best interior prospect at the Hoop Group FAA Camp and one of the most impressive bigs we saw all summer. In his short stint on the grassroots circuit, he has already picked up numerous DI offers.
