College coaches should learn their names now because all of them can contribute at the next level.
Anderson Brndjar Anderson Brndjar 6'0" | CG The Hill | 2025 State PA – 6’0″ / 2025 / Hill School / PSB Philly / Shooting Guard: Brndjar is a highly accurate 3-point shooter with logo range. His ability to shoot on the move and over defenders is impressive. Brndjar possesses a high basketball IQ and good court awareness. Thus, he does not force shots and will make the extra pass. He is also sneaky athletic and can get out the fast break for lay-ins.
Ben Costello – 6’5″ / 2024 / Devon Prep / PA Hoops Academy / Small Forward: Costello is a stock rising 2024 prospect with a multi-faceted skill set. He can play out of the high post where he can score or distribute. He owns solid handles and a rapidly improving 3-point stroke, so he can also run on the perimeter. Finally, Costello has the length and frame (205 lbs.) to produce buckets from the low blocks and on the offensive glass. Costello’s 26-points (2 threes) effort at Summer Finale grabbed the attention of scouts and college coaches.
Justus Robertson Justus Robertson 5'11" | PG String Theory (Phila.) | 2024 State PA – 5’10” / 2024 / String Theory / PA Coalition / Point Guard: One of the most impressive Class of 2024 scoring point guards in SEPA continues to fly under the radar. With his speed, filthy handles, and ability to convert through contact at the rim, Robertson is a tremendous open court scoring threat. In the half-court, Robertson can blow past defenders off the dribble, but he also has the frame to bully his way to his sweet spots. Plus, Robertson will splash the occasional 3-ball.
Ryan Warren Ryan Warren 6'5" | PF Academy of New Church | 2026 State PA – 6’5” / 2026 / Academy of New Church / Philly Pride Select / Small Forward: We realize that Warren has previously been covered on this site. But he is headed to a new school, has a new graduate year (2026) and at Summer Finale he unleashed a new offensive approach. So, we are going to include him in this article. This past weekend, Warren was more aggressive on offense than we have ever witnessed. He attacked off the dribble and finished with authority. He also was relentless on the offensive glass. Warren even displayed new interior moves we did not know he possessed. If he continues with this new, more assertive approach, his upside is ridiculous.
