WPIAL 2025 Newcomers: Prep Hoops PA Rankings Update

<p>As the AAU basketball season moves forward, our Prep Hoops Rankings update for the summer continues with the players from the class of 2025 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 sophomores 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 2025 NEWCOMERS:</strong></span></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1406086" first="Antwan" last="Black"], 6’0, combo guard, Brownsville High School</p> <ul> <li>He scores in a variety of ways throughout a game and likes to "pull up" in transition for mid-range baskets</li> <li>Likes to utilize his quick hands on the defensive end of the floor to cause deflections and steals</li> <li>Antwan is a young and skilled combo guard who will continue to develop his game</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1406120" first="Jayden" last="Curry-Jones"], 6’2, power forward, Geibel High School</p> <ul> <li>A solid, sound performer with above-average rebounding and shot-blocking ability</li> <li>Runs the court while looking to finish at the rim with thunderous slam dunks in transition</li> <li>Jayden puts forth the effort to become a successful player for his high school team during the high school season</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1406083" first="Lonnie" last="Greene"], 6’2, power forward, Jeannette High School</p> <ul> <li>His big body and strength make him a force in the post and on the offensive/defensive glass</li> <li>Blocks shots at a high level and alters many more in the paint which causes his opponents to rush their shot attempts</li> <li>Lonnie brings the football mentality and toughness to the basketball court while working hard to prove he can play hoops at a dominating level as well</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1204059" first="Brent" last="Hamel"], 5’10, shooting guard, Mt.
