SEPA Recruiting News:
Adam “Budd” Clark – 5’9″ / Senior / West Catholic / Philly Pride UAA / Point Guard: Early last month Clark (18 / 5 / 5 per; 38% from three; 1st Team All-PCL) decommitted from Coppin State because Head Coach Juan Dixon had been “let go”. During the remainder of March, Clark played outstanding basketball and guided WC to the 3A state title. He scored 32 points in that championship game. Clark’s state title run certainly grabbed the attention of college coaches. In early April, Clark received offers from Bucknell, Merrimack and Farleigh Dickinson. Now this week Boston University and Saint Francis (PA) have presented Clark with official offers.
Deywilk Tavarez Deywilk Tavarez 6'2" | CG Academy of New Church | 2023 State PA – 6’2″ / Academy of New Church / Philly Pride Select / Combo Guard: After battling a leg injury during his junior season, Tavarez was finally healthy in 2022-23, and he absolutely shined. This winter Tavarez averaged 19.5 points, 6.8 boards, 4.7 assists and 3.5 steals per game while leading ANC to the PAISSA state tourney semifinals. He was rewarded with a 1st Team ALL-FSL selection. Despite all his success, this elite 3-level scoring machine remained unsigned. So, this spring Tavarez went to work on the grassroots circuit and at the Donofrio Classic. Those efforts have paid off, as earlier this week Delaware State University (DI) extended Tavarez an offer.
SEPA Recent Commitments:
Zaki Alston – 6’4” / Senior / Sankofa Freedom Academy / BW Elite / Combo Guard: Thanks to his size and athleticism, Alston is an elite finisher at the rim. His jump shot is a highly efficient weapon on mid-range pull ups and spot up threes. This past season Alston 14.5points and6 rebounds per game and was 3rd Team All-Philly Public League selection. He recently committed to Chestnut Hill College (D3).
Ty Kocak Ty Kocak 6'1" | PG Pennsbury | 2023 State PA – 6’2” / Senior / Pennsbury / Rebels Basketball Academy / Point Guard: Earlier this week Kocak committed to Juniata College (D3). The Eagles coaching staff should be ecstatic because they are getting a rock steady combo guard with a high basketball IQ. Kocak is an underrated perimeter shooter as well. When he is not draining jumpers, Kocak gets into the paint off dribble drives for floaters and lay-ins. After the 2022-23 season he was a 1st Team All-SOL selection.
Yahmir Satterfield Yahmir Satterfield 6'3" | SG Imhotep Charter | 2023 State PA – 6’3” / Senior / Imhotep Charter / BW Elite / Shooting Guard: For the last two seasons Satterfield was a key part of Imhotep’s back-to-back 5A state championship teams. Now one of the most skilled “glue guys” in the region has committed to Kutztown University (D2). It is no secret that Satterfield is an elite three-point shooter. He is especially adept at knocking home corner threes. However, if a defender chases Satterfield off the arc, he will slice up the help defense off the dribble for a lay-in or to facilitate for a teammate. Satterfield is a plus rebounder and defender as well.
