<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1477838' first='Jake' last='Bolyn'] | W 6'5 Perkiomen + Penn Warriors</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Originally from Pottstown, Bolyn lights it up from deep. He knocks down spot up jumpers from anywhere on the perimeter. He has an inside game too. Bolyn uses his body to initiate contact on drives and to post up for high percentage buckets. His frame aids him on defense as well.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Zach Campbell | G 6'3 Dobbins + BW Elite</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Campbell makes a living attacking off the catch. He puts pressure on defenses with how hard he runs in transition. In the halfcourt, he's catching and either driving all the way to the cup or getting to his 1-2 dribble middy. Campbell averaged 17 points & 7 boards as a junior and will be tasked with carrying more of the load as a senior.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Robert Cottrell | Roman Catholic + SW Elite</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The sixth man on the reigning PCL champs, Cottrell was used as an off-ball guard who spaced the floor (3P 36.2% on 2 attempts/gm) and played on-ball defense (1.1 spg) for the Cahilites. But in other contexts he shows more skills on the ball. With his crisp handle, the shifty guard can beat his man off the dribble, draw help and find the open teammate.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Elijah Espinosa | F 6'8 Red Land + York Ballers</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Espinosa is a budding rim-runner and shot-blocker. He finishes plays on the offensive end by cutting to the rim and getting putback dunks. And he closes out defensive possessions by grabbing boards, deflecting passes and altering shots at the rim.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tariq Jennings | W 6'6 West Catholic + Philly Pride Select</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A true late bloomer, Jennings has physical tools you can't teach. He finishes over defenders and creates second-chance opportunities on the glass with his leaping ability and reach. And with his long arms, Jennings is tough to get by when he's defending on the perimeter. He's making strides as a shooter too.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dior Kennedy | G 6'2 Coatesville + PA Coalition</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This combo guard from Coatesville excels as an off-ball guard and a second-side creator. Kennedy is an aggressive and physical defender at the point of attack. He's also aggressive on offense. Once he has an advantage, Kennedy finds passing windows to hit teammates or gets downhill.</p>
