1. Jude Harris – Salesian 2023
Harris is a good floor spacer in the frontcourt. He can play some small ball five depending on the matchup but is probably best suited as a shooting power forward. He does in well in catch and shoot situations, always ready for the pass and squared up. Knocked down several catch and shoot threes in the game I saw from the arcs. He can rebound too and is particularly active on the offensive glass.
2. Justin Rosenbaum – Cleveland 2023
Rosenbaum is a good long-range shooter who can do a couple of other things as well. He likes to shoot the corner three. He can handle the ball too and is able to attack closeouts well. Uses fakes to draw contact on his jumpers. He’s able to shoot the midrange off the dribble and creates separation for step-back jumpers. Good ball-handler in transition. Does a good job relocating after the pass is made.

– Harvard Westlake 2023
A Notre Dame commit, Dunlap excels from distance. He moves very well without the ball, using off-ball screens to free himself for a jumper. Likes to shoot the corner three and does well off the catch. Quick release to get his shot off before the defense can react. He is also able to get his jumper off with the defense rushing at him.
4. Ethan Rickett – Chadwick 2025
Rickett is a decent point guard, but his shooting touch is what really stood out. He’s a catch and shoot three-point shooter who consistently knocks down the corner three. He is a trailer on the break and is always ready to shoot the transition three. He can also sprint out and finish on the break at the basket. Squares up well on his shots and he can shoot from midrange with defenders in his space.
5. Max Sheridan – St Monica 2023
Sheridan has a quick release and is a shooter off the catch. St Monica got down big early in the game I saw and it was his shooting ability that helped the back into the game. He moves very well off-ball, making sure the court is properly spaced and he does a good job floating to the corners. He can also handle the ball and dribble under defensive pressure.
