Let’s take a look at our prep hoops rankings from the class of 2024 and see which players need to be on college radars. [player_tooltip player_id="1395971" first="Christian" last="Jeffrey"] 6”2 Bishop Loughlin A young Loughlin club needs a leader on the floor and that is what Christian brings. Incredible leadership qualities. When you combine his talents with his understanding of the game it’s a big plus. A scoring combo guard equally efficient running the point or the two spot. Excellent court vision. [player_tooltip player_id="1360147" first="Braylan" last="Ritvo"] 6”5 Stepinac Great understanding of the game. Can hit the mid range shot. Scores inside. Positions himself to defend and on offense finds the open spots. [player_tooltip player_id="1395986" first="Jordan" last="Boreman"] 6”2 St Edmunds Jordan is just tapping the surface this past season. Athletic player who is an excellent passer. He has great court vision. A real talent. Expect big things from him. [player_tooltip player_id="1361688" first="Stevie" last="Williams"] 6”1 St John the Baptist A strong bodied guard. Can muscle his way to the basket and finish through contact. Would be a hard matchup for many guards his size or even a little bigger. [player_tooltip player_id="1360144" first="Nick" last="Waga"] 6”1 Commack Extremely confident guard with the ball. Seems very poised running a team. Can shoot it from three. Has a good low base that gets him into the lane. Hard to knock off the ball. [player_tooltip player_id="1395995" first="Jaiden" last="Gaston"] 5”11 McClancy Crafty scoring point guard. Very quick. Has shown a nice pull up jumper as well as a potent three ball shooter. Has good elevation and the ball comes out of his hand with good rotation. [player_tooltip player_id="1395984" first="Jayport" last="Smith"] 5”10 Mount St Michael Jayport had a real nice season for the Mount. He was solid running the team. One of the games I saw him play his team was missing their 2 top players. Jayport stepped up. He was able to get into the lane, and handle the traps and pressure defense. Has a good change of pace dribble. Creates contact to get off his pull up. [player_tooltip player_id="1395985" first="Tyler" last="Michel"] 6”1 St Francis Prep Tyler might not be the first guy you notice on the talented Terrier team but as you watch the game you realize he does a lot of good things on the floor. It might be a defensive stop, a loose ball, or a deflection. He has a high motor. Very capable of scoring the ball as well as all the other intangibles.
