Jaycen Santucci Jaycen Santucci 6'4" | SG Central Regional | 2025 State NJ , 6’3 SG Central Regional
Santucci played up at 17U this past weekend for the Jersey Shore Predators, but that did not stop him from making plays. The 6’3 guard elevated for lobs in the half court and was able to get to the rim off the bounce. Santucci was able to get to his spot on the floor and rose up with confidence on his jumper. He pushed the ball nicely in transition at times and used his athleticism to make plays on the defensive end. Santucci is just starting to scratch the surface of his potential and should see his stock rise over the next couple of months.
Jayden Myers, 6’0 PG Columbia
Myers helped the 16U NJ Scholars take home the 17U platinum Nook title as he showed his ability to make plays at both ends of the floor. The 6’0 guard has a good handle, which he used to beat his defender off the bounce and finish around the rim. Myers played with poise on the ball as he rarely got sped up and made good decisions throughout the weekend. He played tough on-ball defense and showed the ability to play off the ball as well. Myers’ stock is just beginning to rise and it should only go higher if he continues to play like he did this weekend.
Alex Grospe Alex Grospe 5'10" | PG South River | 2025 State NJ , 5’8 PG South River
Grospe was instrumental in the NJ Panthers 16U platinum title as he ran the offense efficiently throughout the weekend. The 5’8 guard threaded passes to open teammates and made the correct read in the pick and roll game. Grospe used his handle to get into the lane and finished nicely around the basket. He shot the ball with confidence from behind the arc and used his quick hands to generate turnovers on defense. Grospe is a true floor general whose ability to see the floor will help his game in a big way this spring and summer.
Keith McKnight Keith McKnight 6'5" | SG Hudson Catholic | 2025 State #200 Nation NJ , 6’3 SG Teaneck
McKnight helped the 16U PSA Cardinals reach the 17U platinum Nook title game with his ability to make plays at both ends of the floor. The lanky 6’3 guard used his handle to get to his spot on the floor and was able to draw contact in the paint. McKnight moved well without the ball in his hands and wasted little motion in his jumper. He used his length to be disruptive on the defensive end and can defend both backcourt spots. McKnight is a prospect to watch in the Garden State with his combination of size, length and skill.
Shelton Colwell Shelton Colwell 6'5" | SF Arts | 2025 State NJ , 6’5 F Columbia
Colwell had a strong weekend for the 16U NJ Panthers as he helped them take home the 16U platinum title. The 6’5 forward was a force on the boards as he consistently ripped down offensive rebounds and finished off the miss. Colwell was able to routinely draw contact around the rim and showed off a nice touch in the paint. He made plays on the defensive end and put the ball on the floor nicely to get to the basket. Colwell is a hard-working forward prospect who plays with a motor that doesn’t stop on both ends of the floor.
