Continue ReadingThe upcoming weekend is extremely important for prospects as it is the start of the spring live period. The 2026 class has already made an impact during their debut varsity season and should make noise during the AAU season. Here are the 2026 prospects who could pick up their first offers.
Richie Rosa Richie Rosa 6'0" | PG St. Peter's Prep | 2026 State NJ , 6’1 PG St. Peter’s Prep
Rosa was a big part of the Marauders’ success this past season as he helped them take home the Non-Public A North title. The 6’1 guard has a good handle, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finish around the rim. Rosa is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He gets his teammates involved in the offense and moves his feet on the defensive end. Rosa is a tough lead guard who has the potential to pick up offers this spring and summer with his play.
Keiner Asprilla Keiner Asprilla 6'11" | C Don Bosco Prep | 2026 State NJ , 6’11 C Don Bosco Prep
Asprilla is an intriguing prospect to watch in the 2026 class as he can change the game at both ends of the floor. The 6’11 post knows how to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. Asprilla runs the floor hard and rips down rebounds at both ends of the floor. He is one of the top shot-blockers of his class as he uses his combination of size and length to influence shots around the paint. Asprilla’s ability to control the paint is something that will get him on college radars sooner rather than later.
Kole Grandison Kole Grandison 6'5" | SF Immaculate Conception | 2026 State NJ , 6’5 SF Immaculate Conception
Grandison is one of the top wing prospects in the 2026 class and should put it on display over the next couple of months. The 6’5 wing has a good release on his jumper and rises up with confidence on his shot. Grandison is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. He can defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated rebounder. Grandison is a two-way wing prospect who should rise his stock in a big way in the spring and summer.
Jalen Grant Jalen Grant 6'0" | PG Roselle Catholic | 2026 State NJ , 6’0 PG Roselle Catholic
Grant had a solid debut varsity season for the Lions and is looking to carry it over into the AAU season. The 6’0 guard has a clean shooting stroke as he wastes little motion in his shot and rarely forces bad shots in the half court. Grant plays under control with the ball in his hands and is a solid finisher around the basket. He is a good on-ball defender and has the ability to play off the ball as well. Grant is a sharpshooting, lead guard prospect who should have a big spring and summer.
Mason Santiago Mason Santiago 6'3" | SG St. Peter's Prep | 2026 State NJ , 6’2 SG St. Peter’s Prep
Santiago has the potential to have a big couple of months with his ability to make plays at both ends of the floor. The lanky 6’2 guard has a nice release on his jumper as he wastes little motion. Santiago moves well without the ball in his hands, setting himself up for open layups and jumpers in the half court. He is a good defender and is an underrated passer. Santiago is a long, shooting guard prospect whose ability to hit jumpers from deep will be key for his development in this spring and summer.
