Prep Hoops PA Rankings: WPIAL Class of 2024 Newcomers

<p>As the AAU basketball season moves forward, our Prep Hoops Rankings update for the summer continues with the players from the class of 2024 in the state of Pennsylvania. The staff here at Prep Hoops PA has diligently gathered information and worked extremely hard to develop an extraordinarily comprehensive list of 300 high school basketball student-athletes. These rising juniors have the balance of talent to be the most heavily recruited group in a long time throughout the state. Many young men have been in constant communication with college coaches, while a variety of others are starting to garner attention as well. After the completion of the high school season and with AAU in full tournament mode, these skilled performers entered the rankings for our current update. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>WESTERN PA 2024 NEWCOMERS:</strong></span></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="991419" first="Brandon" last="Banks"] - Aliquippa HS - 6’0 combo guard </p> <ul> <li>Brandon brings the athletic ability and toughness from the football field to the hoop court</li> <li>Look for this talented young man to always want the ball in critical moments as he showed in the WPIAL and State playoffs</li> <li>He is a Division 1 football recruit but enjoys being on the hardwood as well</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1188071" first="Jack" last="Dunbar"] - Peters Township HS - 6’1 wing forward </p> <ul> <li>Jack brings tenacity and solid defense to the court daily for any teams he plays for in high school or AAU</li> <li>Watch for his quick hands to cause havoc in half-court defense relegated to man-to-man and zone concepts</li> <li>His knowledge of the game makes him stand out on the floor</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1402927" first="Stephen" last="Goetz"] - Northgate HS - 5’10 shooting guard </p> <ul> <li>A skilled long-range shooter that has developed a sound mid-range jumper to complement his three-point shooting</li> <li>Provides the leadership needed to help his teammates be successful during any contest</li> <li>He has the confidence to keep shooting the ball while getting others involved if he goes cold</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1188013" first="Dontay" last="Green"] - Lincoln Park HS - 6’5 power forward </p> <ul> <li>An above-average forward that is a quality shot blocker and rim protector on defense for his team</li> <li>Runs the floor in transition while finishing at the rim with thunderous slam dunks</li> <li>The athlectiscm of this lanky player makes him a match-up nightmare for his opponents</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1188003" first="Liam" last="Mignogna"] - Hampton HS - 6’8 center </p> <ul> <li>A big, strong post player who is on the rise this summer with quality performances on the court</li> <li>Likes to be a force on the paint on defense and in the low block on offense</li> <li>He has matured into a solid center using his ever-growing skillset and high basketball IQ</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Rayshawn Saunders - Obama Academy HS - 5’10 point guard </p> <ul> <li>His quick hands and feet on the defensive end of the floor caused problems for the opponents</li> <li>Creates a variety of opportunities not only for himself but his Obama Academy team</li> <li>His passing and ball-handling skills are on the rise with hard work in the offseason</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p>
