Emmanuel Carson Emmanuel Carson 5'10" | PG Frederick Douglass | 2024 State MD – Douglass-PG (MD)
Carson was the starting point guard and captain of the Eagles. He is a good leader who is a crafty finisher with either hand.
Shaun Farmer Shaun Farmer 5'11" | PG Hylton | 2024 State VA – Hylton (VA)
Farmer enjoyed a tremendous junior campaign for the Bulldogs that included multiple game-winning buzzer-beaters. He’s a two-way player who can not only score but will help rebound and defend.
Thomas Farrell Thomas Farrell 6'0" | SG Whitman | 2024 State MD – Whitman (MD)
Farrell shot almost 50% from 3 during the summer of 2022 at Capitol Hoops Summer League. In addition to being a knockdown shooter, he is a smart decision-maker who is patient on the ball and gets to his spots. Farrell is a crafty finisher who attacks closeouts and is a good passer as well.
Jayden Johnson Jayden Johnson 6'1" | CG Tuscarora | 2024 State VA – Tuscarora (VA)
Johnson is on pace to do big things at Tuscarora by the time his senior year is over. The 6’1″ combo guard helped lead his team to an impressive 24-win season. Johnson is a 1,000-point scorer who I can’t wait to get eyes on.
Peter Mitchell Peter Mitchell 6'2" | SG Potomac | 2024 State VA – Potomac (VA)
Mitchell is an athletic 6’2″ guard who is a game-changer on both ends of the court. He is dynamic offensively in that he is a threat to score from half-court and in transition. Mitchell also tends to make big plays on defense.
BJ Nkrumah BJ Nkrumah 6'3" | SG West Potomac | 2024 State VA – West Potomac (VA)
Nkrumah played some of his best basketball down the stretch for the Wolverines. At 6’2″ he boasts length that helps make him a menacing defender. Nkrumah is also a dynamic offensive player who can either slash or hit spot-up threes.
Demeir Pollard – Landstown (VA)
A long-limbed 6’2″ combo guard, Pollard is a vigilant defender. He keeps his hands active in the passing lanes and records a ton of deflections as a result. Pollard is also assertive offensively and is a threat from three.
Noah Rogers Noah Rogers 5'9" | PG St. Mary's Ryken | 2024 State MD – St. Mary’s Ryken (MD)
Rogers is developing into one of the best-kept secrets in the area. He is a sneaky-good athlete at the point guard position who has a tight handle and will rebound his position. One of the main weapons Rogers has is his 3-point shot. It’s a set shot, but he’s always ready to let it fly and has a quick release.
