Pitt Jam Fest: Which SEPA ’25s Will Break Out?

Below is a review of six prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania’s Class of 2025 who we believe will put their name of the recruiting map at this weekend’s Hoop Group Pitt Jam Fest.

Deacon Baratta Deacon Baratta 6'5" | CG Phoenixville | 2025 State PA – 6’4” / Phoenixville / East Coast Power / Combo Guard: This versatile and long prospect is coming off a solid high school season where he posted 11 ppg. to go along with 5 rpg. and drained 43 triples. In addition to hitting logo 3-balls, Baratta possesses a nice stop-and-pop game. His height, court vision and basketball IQ enable Baratta to pass over the top of defenders. He is a sneaky good shot blocker as well.

Kevin Beck Kevin Beck 6'2" | CG Father Judge | 2025 State PA – 6’4” / Father Judge / Philly Revolution / Wing: Hiding on Father Judge’s deep roster this winter was one of the top 2025 perimeter shooters in SEPA. His quick release and unlimited range make Beck extremely difficult to guard. Beck has been known to hit spot up threes, but he also excels at splashing trail threes and threes coming off down screens as well as via pick-n-pop action. If he gets chased off the arc, Beck will use the dribble to create for himself or teammates.

Jahi Curtis Jahi Curtis 6'3" | SF Strath Haven | 2025 State PA – 6’3” / Strath Haven / Mt. Pleasant Bulldogs / Small Forward: Curtis is a physical prospect with a nose for the ball and a quick second jump. Those assets make him a beast on the glass at both ends. Once Curtis has secured an offensive rebound, he can absorb contact and finish. He owns an effective mid-range game too. At the other end, his speedy lateral movements and anticipation skills make him a plus defender. Curtis will also take a charge or two per game.

Khamai Orange Khamai Orange 6'0" | PG Delaware County Christian | 2025 State PA – 5’11” / Delaware CCS / PA Hoops Academy / Point Guard: Orange plays at a small school competing in the Bicentennial Athletic Conference, so you may not have heard of him. However, we have seen this nimble lead guard play several times and have been impressed. Now it is time for college coaches to learn his name. Orange possesses good foot speed and change of direction skills, so he thrives in transition. He can also work in pick-n-roll action. He can score at the rim with either hand. Orange’s mid-range game is an underrated aspect of his skill set.

Kai Stryhn Kai Stryhn 6'3" | SG York Suburban | 2025 State PA – 6’4” / York Suburban / York Ballers / Wing: One of the best kept secrets in SEPA is this high IQ three-point ace with tremendous upside. Strhyn’s constant off-ball movement, quick trigger, and ability to find open spaces reminds us somewhat of JJ Redick. However, Stryhn owns a better mid-range game. With his length and handles, Stryhn can play out of the high post. There he can pop elbow jumpers or use a dribble or two to get to the cup.

Robbie Sukaly Robbie Sukaly 6'3" | CG Dock Mennonite | 2025 State PA – 6’3″ / North Penn / PSB Philly-Harken / Shooting Guard: Sukaly is a pick your poison type of prospect. He is an extraordinary three-point shooter because he owns textbook mechanics as well as deep range and moves well without the ball. However, if a defender chooses to play over the top of Sukaly, this multi-skilled shooting guard will put the rock on the deck to create mid-range opportunities for himself or to distribute to teammates.
