Vova Trotsko Vova Trotsko 6'7" | PF Colts Neck | 2024 State NJ | 6’7″ | F | Colts Neck
A rock solid forward with a good understanding of the game. He is a tough player on the low block and can also hit the boards hard at both ends. He’s got a soft touch on his shot as well. He’s a hard nosed player who could grow into a scholarship level prospect. He went for 20 on multiple nights as a sophomore. High ceiling player.
David Ekhelar David Ekhelar 6'8" | C Newark East Side | 2025 State NJ | 6’7” | F | Newark East Side
Ekhelar saw time as a freshman and played a more prominent frontcourt role as a sophomore. He’s a tough rebounder who can create second chances for his teammates. He’s an improving defender and his wingspan allows him to alter shots. He should be the key piece of the frontcourt puzzle for the Raiders this coming season but has a big summer on tap with the Roadrunners that could turn him into a sought after forward prospect.
Nas Hart Nas Hart 6'8" | PF College Achieve | 2025 State #159 Nation NJ | 6’7″ | F | Keyport
A lean forward with a solid skillset around the low block. He’s got a nice touch to score points around the rim. He hits the boards well and should be a dominant force in B-Central the next two years as the unquestioned top player. Battled some injury woes this year but performed well in games he did play.
Yaw Ansong Yaw Ansong 6'11" | C Union Catholic | 2025 State #345 Nation NJ | 6’11” | F | Union Catholic
A power but long forward who is a fantastic rebounder at both ends. An above average shot blocker who times himself well on his jump but is aided by his long arms and top tier athletic ability. A tough and rugged player around the rim who will emerge as the elite big man in Union County over the next two years. He and Farouk Muntari Farouk Muntari 6'8" | PF Union Catholic | 2025 State NJ combined to be the power in the frontcourt that the Vikings needed to claim the state title.
Farouk Muntari Farouk Muntari 6'8" | PF Union Catholic | 2025 State NJ | 6’8″ | F | Union Catholic
Ansong’s frontcourt partner should be set to have a fantastic spring and summer. An inside-outside forward who can extend defenders to the perimeter but also make moves and finish around the rim. He’s a solid rebounder who can also impact the paint as a shot blocker. He’s got a high ceiling and his stock should rise sharply this spring. Scholarship level prospect who could rise into the top 20.
