Ralph Akuta Ralph Akuta 6'11" | C Bishop Walsh | 2023 State MD | Bishop Walsh (MD)
Akuta is a 6’11” center who has shown drastic signs of improvement since he emerged on our radar. He gained valuable experience on the NIBC with Bishop Walsh this year.
Joshua Caine | La Plata (MD)
Caine was the SMAC player of the year as a senior. The 6’6″ forward averaged 18 points and 17 rebounds. Caine recorded 22 double-doubles on the season.
Antwan Gross Antwan Gross 6'4" | C McKinley Tech | 2023 State MD | McKinley Tech (DC)
Gross does a bit of everything at 6’5″. He’s a grab-and-go threat who competes on the glass and finishes relentlessly.
Wyatt Trundle Wyatt Trundle 6'6" | PF Meridian | 2023 State VA | Meridian (VA)
Trundle is a reliable 6’7″ forward who provides floor spacing. He is also a good team defender who anticipates well and rebounds his position.
Ethan Ward Ethan Ward 6'7" | SF Landstown | 2023 State VA | Landstown (VA)
Ward was the Regional Player of the Year and First Team All-State. The 6’7″ forward is a good athlete who plays with a high motor and is consistently productive.
