Here are the top newcomers from the 2024 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1050393' first='TJ' last='Robinson'], 6'3 PG Montclair Immaculate</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Robinson is the highest ranked newcomer in the update as he checks in at the third spot in his return to the Garden State. The former Teaneck lead guard has a tight handle, which he uses to get by his defender and is a crafty finisher around the basket. Robinson can score in the mid-range and runs the offense effectively. He gets deflections on the defensive end and make opponents pay for him space behind the arc. Robinson should light up the Garden State this season as he makes plays with the ball in his hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1547457' first='Kabrien' last='Goss'], 5'6 PG Trenton Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Goss will be running the show for the Iron Mikes this winter and will be one to watch in 2022-23. The Solebury School transfer is a blur in the open floor as he uses his combination of speed and quickness to push the pace in transition. Goss is unafraid of drawing contact on his way to the basket and plays with good court vision. He uses his quick hands to get deflections on the defensive end and makes it uncomfortable for ballhandlers to get into a rhythm in the half court. Goss is a speedy lead guard prospect whose ability to run the offense efficiently and effectively will be for Trenton Catholic this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1547458' first='Lawrence' last='Mitchell'], 6'3 SG St. Thomas Aquinas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mitchell is an intriguing guard prospect to watch for the Trojans this season as he impacts the game in a number of ways. The 6'3 guard explodes off the floor for dunks and is a highlight waiting to happen in the open floor. Mitchell attacks the basket with a purpose as he does not mind drawing contact and finishing around the rim. He has the athleticism to defend both guard spots and is a strong rebounder for a guard. Mitchell is a two-way guard prospect who should give St. Thomas Aquinas a big boost in 2022-23.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1269775' first='Ebrahim' last='Kaba'], 6'7 SF Gill St. Bernard's</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kaba will be heading to a prep school next season, but he should be one to watch for the Knights this winter. The lanky 6'7 wing has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Kaba has a good pull-up game as he can set his feet off the dribble and rises up with confidence. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and moves well without the ball in his hands. Kaba's ability to knock down jumpers from behind the arc will help his game in a big way in 2022-23.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1564745' first='Jon' last='Ismajli'], 6'6 PG Gill St. Bernard's</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ismajli joins Kaba as a new addition to the Knights' roster this season and should be the catalyst of their offense. The 6'6 point guard uses his size to scan the defense and does not get rattled easily by on-ball pressure. Ismajli has a solid handle, which he uses to get to the rim and finish around the basket. He is a good passer and is an underrated rebounder. Ismajli is a skilled guard prospect who will be one to watch for Gill St. Bernard's this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Other Prospects to Know:</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1547465' first='Brandon' last='Glass'], 6'9 PF Patrick School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='933045' first='Noah' last='Payne'], 6'0 PG Peddie</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1547462' first='Kobi' last='Johnson'], 6'5 SG Olympus Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1580579' first='Matt' last='Hodge'], 6'8 PF St. Rose</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1574266' first='Reilly' last='Benowitz'], 6'2 SG Tenafly</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
