Top Available Pittsburgh Seniors

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the awards being handed out by the major media outlets in Pittsburgh and the season complete, it's a great time to look at some seniors who are still on the board and yet to make their college decision. Today we feature five who are yet to confirm their next home.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1186057' first='Shea' last='Champine']</strong> | G | Bishop Canevin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In spite of only spending one season as the go-to-guy for the Crusaders, Champine made a big name for himself. A well built guard with a good frame who can get hot in a hurry and score in bunches. A great first step and solid ball handling skills allow him to get by defenders and finish around the rim. He's a good rebounder for a guard. D2 interest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1395834' first='Makhai' last='Valentine']</strong> | G | Steel Valley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A once in a generation player through Steel Valley, Valentine was a prolific scorer, shattering the school record and going over 1,750 points for his career. He's got incredible athleticism and can elevate on his shots. Combines that with a lightning quick release to be one of the best guards in Western Pennsylvania. A physically gifted player who also excelled in football. He's a player who will be long remembered as one of the most electrifying to ever come out of the Steel City. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1116023' first='Connor' last='Spratt']</strong> | G | Seton LaSalle</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Spratt put on a show every night as a senior. He came up big with huge shots in games that mattered and buzzed through divisional opposition. He helped Seton make a big turnaround after an injury. An equally exciting and electric scorer as his divisional counterpart Valentine, Spratt has a host of D2 options right now. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='991365' first='Dante' last='DePante']</strong> | G | Pittsburgh Central Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DePante took over down the stretch to lead PCC to the WPIAL title and a state playoff birth, playing his best basketball in the final weeks of his high school career. He was primarily a lead guard and facilitator but he took over in crunch time to deliver the gold to Central Catholic on his way out the door. He's not the human highlight reel that Spratt or Valentine are, but he's rock solid and delivered in every subtle way possible--If you call scoring 30 and 29 in back to back games to win the WPIAL subtle. Undecided on college.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='991387' first='Sam' last='Kelly'] </strong>| F | Allderdice</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high flying Kelly was a key piece of the Allderdice City Title run this year. An inside outside forward who can get to the rim and throw down dunks, finish with both hands through traffic and hit the boards. He's also a capable shooter from the perimeter. He and teammate <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1436504' first='Ethan' last='Anish']</strong> were the top two seniors in the City League this year and both would be great additions to college programs if they play at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
