Emmanuel Butts Emmanuel Butts 6'6" | PF Haverford School | 2026 State PA – 6’7” / Freshman / Haverford School / Philly Pride National / Small Forward: This long and wiry 2026 prospect received significant minutes for the Fords this winter. Butts (8.6 ppg. & 5 rpg.) can operate out of the high post or the low blocks. His nose for the ball and quick second jump enabled this freshman to be a force on the offensive glass. Butts has also shown flashes of 3-point range on his jumper. If his shooting stroke develops, Butts could become a stretch-4 style player. Butts scored a season high 14 points vs. Seaford (DE). On defense he can guard 1 through 4.
Elijah Espinosa Elijah Espinosa 6'8" | PF Red Lands | 2024 State PA – 6’8″ / Junior / Red Land / York Ballers / Small Forward: Espinosa is an athletic and bouncy wing/forward who is a plus player on both ends of the floor. On offense Espinosa (9 ppg.) produces points via in close catch and finishes, filling a lane in transition and on offensive rebounds. In all three of those situations, Espinosa will flush on an opponent’s head. He also owns a developing jump shot. At the other end, Espinosa is a tremendous rebounder and rim protector. Back in late January he posted 10 blocks in a single game.
Reece Garvin Reece Garvin 6'3" | PG Exeter | 2024 State PA – 6’3” / Junior / Exeter / PMT Warriors / Shooting Guard: Garvin helped push Exeter to the 5A state tournament title game and was one of March’s breakout stars. He can score off the bounce and drain threes of every variety. Garvin’s constant off ball movement makes him extremely difficult to guard. The highlight of his outstanding state tourney run was a 21-point (5 threes) performance in Exeter’s 2nd Round win over Mechanicsburg.
Caleb Lyzinksi – 6’5” / Sophomore / Central Bucks East / PSB Philly / Small Forward: During the 2022-23 season Lyzinski was standout player for CB East’s JV team. Operating as a traditional big man, Lyzinski scored on the low blocks and out of pick-no-roll action. This spring we expect this long and physical prospect will get the opportunity to display his entire skill set. That includes enough handles to score off dribble drives, good court vision and respectable 3-point shooting.
Jahrel Vigo Jahrel Vigo 6'1" | CG Allentown Central Catholic | 2025 State PA – 6’1” / Sophomore / Allentown Central Catholic / Team Final Red / Combo Guard: Vigo is a super athletic and versatile perimeter prospect who averaged 12 ppg. in the regular season and then 15.5 ppg. during ACC’s run to the 4A state tourney semis. With his next level speed, hops and instincts, Vigo excels in transition. In the half court he can score via drives to the rack and the 3-ball. Vigo does a fantastic job of using a head and ball fake on the perimeter to set up his attacks on the rim.
Jeremiah White Jeremiah White 6'6" | PF Imhotep Charter | 2024 State PA – 6’6″ / Junior / Imhotep Charter / Philly Pride Select / Small Forward: An athletic forward with a non-stop motor and a high basketball IQ, White did the dirty work for a loaded Imhotep squad during their historic 2022-23 season. This spring White will show that he can score off baseline drives, slashes to the rim for lay-ins and astonishing alley oops. As a bonus, he is a beast on the offensive glass who converts on second chance opportunities. His lateral quickness and wingspan also make White a plus defender.
