Continue ReadingThis weekend was big for the 2023 class as a pair of players committed to college. Cornelius Robinson Cornelius Robinson 6'6" | SF Camden | 2023 State #253 Nation NJ and Ian Imegwu Ian Imegwu 6'8" | PF Blair Academy | 2023 State NJ committed to Albany and Cornell, respectively. The class is still filled with talent who can make an impact at the next level, especially in the front court. Here are the top available forward prospects in the 2023 class.
Aaron Bradshaw Aaron Bradshaw 7'0" | PF Camden | 2023 State #10 Nation NJ , 7’1 PF Camden
Bradshaw is one of the most intriguing prospects in the country with his combination of size, length and athleticism. The lanky 7-footer has a solid face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor to get to the rim and knock down shots behind the arc. Bradshaw runs the floor hard, setting himself up for easy dunks and baskets in transition. He swats almost everything around the basket and skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Bradshaw is the top available frontcourt prospect in the country and his recruitment will be one to watch this fall and winter.
Ladji Dembele Ladji Dembele 6'8" | PF St. Benedict's | 2023 State #192 Nation NJ , 6’9 PF St. Benedict’s Prep
Dembele will be the go-to guy down low for the Gray Bees as he can score the ball in multiple ways. The 6’9 forward knows how to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. Dembele can finish through contact in the paint and shoots the ball with confidence from behind the arc. He is tough to box out at both ends of the floor and uses his athleticism to influence shots on defense. Dembele is a skilled forward prospect who should have a huge senior season for St. Benedict’s.
Dasear Haskins Dasear Haskins 6'8" | SF Camden | 2023 State NJ , 6’8 SF Camden
Haskins is one of the top available small forwards in the Garden State and will be one to watch this winter for the High. The 6’8 lefty has a smooth shooting stroke and can knock down jumpers in bunches. Haskins is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He moves well without the ball in his hands and is an underrated defender. Haskins is a lanky wing prospect whose ability to knock down shots from behind the arc will help his stock in a big way.
Ademar Santos Ademar Santos 6'7" | SF St. Benedict's | 2023 State NJ , 6’7 SF St. Benedict’s Prep
Santos will be one to watch on the perimeter for the Gray Bees as he does a little bit of everything. The 6’7 wing has a nice release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. Santos has a solid handle, which he uses to get by his defender and finish around the basket. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated passer. Santos is a versatile wing prospect who should put that on display this winter for St. Benedict’s.
Jackson Tindall Jackson Tindall 6'7" | PF St. Peter's Prep | 2024 New E , 6’7 SF St. Peter’s Prep
Tindall has the potential to breakout this season for the Marauders as he should get more touches on the offensive end. The 6’7 wing attacks the basket with a purpose as he can get by his defender off the dribble and can finish through contact in the paint. Tindall knows how to get position down low and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He is a strong rebounder and works hard on the defensive end. Tindall is a two-way wing prospect whose ability to score inside and out will be key to his success in 2022-23.
