Jaron McKie Jaron McKie 6'2" | SG St. Joseph's Prep | 2025 State #74 Nation PA – 6’1” / Sophomore / St. Joe’s Prep / NJ Scholars Elite / Combo Guard: In 2021-22 McKie was a starter and posted a tremendous freshman campaign. His play has been outstanding again this season. Still, recently this elite guard prospect has taken his game to another level. First, he poured in a jaw dropping 34 points (3 threes) in a win over Malvern Prep. He followed up that spectacular game with 16 points (3 triples) and 4 dimes as St. Joe’s Prep defeated Friends Central.
Kirby Mooney Kirby Mooney 6'1" | SG William Tennent | 2024 State PA – 6’3” / Junior / William Tennent / PA Royals / Combo Guard: The development of Mooney’s jump shot has enabled him to be a threat in the mid-range and all the way out to the arc. When you combine that skill set with his ability to slash to the rim, Mooney becomes extremely difficult to guard. This past week Mooney was named the MVP of the Jack Schott Tourney after averaging 27 points, 8 boards and 4.5 assists per contest.
Andrew Phillips Andrew Phillips 6'3" | SF Malvern Prep | 2023 State PA – 6’4” / Senior / Malvern Prep / Gibbs Elite / Wing: Over three games against PCL contenders (B&P; SJP and O’Hara) Phillips averaged 18.6 points to along with 7.3 boards per contest. Highlighting his recent stretch of outstanding play was a 27 points and 7 rebounds performance vs. Bonner. Phillips can knock home threes, slash to the cup, or mix it up on the interior. He remains one of the top unsigned ‘23s in the region.
Trey Rogers – 6’4” / Senior / Pope John Paul II / Eastern PA Elite / Shooting Guard: This 3-point sniper with unlimited range, solid instincts and precise passing skills blew up at the Boardwalk Classic in Wildwood, NJ. During that event Rogers averaged 17 points and 3 made triples per game. Against Pennsbury he knocked home 5 threes on his way to 17 points.
Jacob Sniras Jacob Sniras 6'3" | CG Garnet Valley | 2025 State PA – 6’4” / Sophomore / Garnet Valley / PSB Philly-Harken / Combo Guard: We gave you the heads up Sniras after he simply went off during the spring/summer circuits. That elevated level of play has continued this winter. Over the last week, Sniras notched a 26-point game against Upper Darby. He then lit up Coatesville for 33 points and drilled the double OT game winner. Sniras is a high IQ prospect who can splash jumpers from all over the court and is a creative finisher at the rim.
Jermai Stewart-Herring Jermai Stewart-Herring 6'5" | CG Roman Catholic | 2023 State PA – 6’3″ / Senior / Roman Catholic / We R1 / Combo Guard: Stewart-Herring is aformer Delaware All-State selection so it should not be a surprise that this athletic prospect is having success this season. He excels in transition where he can finish with authority. Plus, in the half court he can hit jumpers off pick action or play in a two-man game. At the Myrtle Beach Holiday Tournament, Stewart-Herring averaged 16.3 ppg. and 3 assists per game. Included in this amazing run of games was a 27 points, 4 rebounds and 4 dimes effort in a win over Tampa Catholic (FL).
Nasir Williams – 6’1″ / Sophomore / Sankofa Freedom Academy / NEBC Elite / Combo Guard: Williams was named MVP of the Viking Invitational Tournament (DE) after he posted 16.6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game. His exceptional speed and quick decision making enable Williams to blow past defenders off the dribble. His shooting from behind the arc most be respected as well. As a bonus to these scoring abilities, Williams is a tenacious on-ball defender.
