Emmanuel Joe-Samuel Emmanuel Joe-Samuel 6'4" | SG Camden | 2025 State #308 Nation NJ , 6’4 SG Camden
Joe-Samuel joins a talented Panthers roster that is looking to reclaim its Group 2 title. The Paul VI transfer attacks the basket with a purpose as he is a strong finisher around the rim and can finish through contact. Joe-Samuel has a good mid-range game and shoots the ball with confidence from behind the arc. He is a strong rebounder for a guard and works hard on the defensive end. Joe-Samuel is a physical guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor for Camden.
Keith McKnight Keith McKnight 6'5" | SG Hudson Catholic | 2025 State #200 Nation NJ , 6’3 G Hudson Catholic
McKnight becomes part of a Hawks’ backcourt that will be one of the top ones in the state. The Teaneck transfer is crafty with the ball in his hands as he can finish around the basket in a variety of ways. McKnight has a tight handle, but also has the ability to play off the ball. He has a nice release on his jumper and has the length to defend both guard spots. McKnight is a skilled guard prospect who will be one to watch for Hudson Catholic throughout the season.
Myles Blackley Myles Blackley 6'3" | SG Immaculate Conception | 2025 State NJ , 6’3 SG Immaculate Conception
Blackley’s move to the Lions makes them one of the teams to beat in Non-Public B. The Summit transfer has a smooth shooting stroke as he wastes little motion and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Blackley is more than just a shooter as he can also put the ball on the floor and finish around the rim. He moves well without the ball in his hands and uses his long arms to get deflections on defense. Blackley’s ability to stretch the floor and defend the ball is something that will help Immaculate Conception throughout the 2023-24 season.
Nas Hart Nas Hart 6'8" | PF College Achieve | 2025 State #159 Nation NJ , 6’8 F College Achieve
Hart joins a loaded Knights’ roster that should be the team to beat in Group 1. The Keyport transfer elevates off the floor for dunks and finishes well around the basket. Hart has a solid face-up game as he can get to the rim off the dribble and knock down open jumpers on the perimeter. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and swats almost everything around the rim. Hart is a talented forward prospect who is just starting to scratch the surface of his potential.
Jaden Myers Jaden Myers 6'0" | PG Word of God | 2025 State NC , 6’0 PG Union Catholic
The Vikings are looking to repeat as Non-Public A champions and the addition of Myers is a big help. The Columbia transfer has a lightning quick first step, which he uses to get to the rim and finish around the basket. Myers can also score in the mid-range and is a solid passer. He is a good on-ball defender and has the ability to play off the ball as well. Myers is a speedy, lead guard prospect who will be one to watch in Union County throughout the season.
