Continue ReadingToday we present a review of five players from southeastern Pennsylvania’s Class of 2024 who are grossly underrecruited. In our opinion these prospects are extremely talented and can be difference makers at the next level.
College coaches need to stop sleeping on the below players and send them an offer now.
Jaden Colzie Jaden Colzie 6'0" | PG Plymouth Whitemarsh | 2024 State PA – 5’10” / Plymouth Whitemarsh / BW Elite / Point Guard: We are not sure what else Colzie needs to receive the college offers he deserves. In 2022-23 he piloted “P-Dub” to the District 1-6A tournament title (16 points in ‘chip game; 13 in 4th Q). Then this summer he was simply unstoppable as a scorer and facilitator. From Philly HS Live in June all the way through last week’s Will Barton Elite Camp, Colzie has crushed the competition. In July he led BW Elite to their HG Summer Jam Fest division title. So, in addition to his incredible skills, Colzie has repeatedly proven that he is a winner.
Norman Gee, Jr. Norman Gee, Jr. 5'10" | PG North Penn | 2024 State PA – 5’10” / North Penn / One Opportunity / Point Guard: Gee is a complete point guard who can go off for 20+ points on any night. He splashes threes at a solid clip, can get to the rim off the bounce and excels in transitions. As a distributor he thrives in the open court as well as in pick-n-roll and drive-n-kick plays. At the other end of the court, Gee is a tenacious on-ball defender who is willing to guard for 94-feet.
Micah Hill-Benitez Micah Hill-Benitez 6'4" | SF Downingtown East | 2024 State PA – 6’4″ / Downingtown East / East Coast Power / Wing: Hill-Benitez owns the speed, length, agility, and impressive vertical that are perfect fit for the up-tempo games that take place between June and August. Thus, he registered an outstanding summer. His half-court skills are solid as well. Hill-Benitez can blow past his man with his dribble drive, slash to the cup for a catch and lay-in, catch backdoor alley-oops and drain threes. On defense he is an underrated shot blocker.
Dior Kennedy Dior Kennedy 6'2" | CG Coatesville | 2024 State PA – 6’2” / Coatesville / PA Coalition / Combo Guard: Back in March, Kennedy (13 ppg.; 4 apg., 3 spg.) pushed Coatesville to the 6A state quarterfinals. Then on the Spring circuit, he guided PA Coalition to their HG Spring Jam Fest division title. During the July circuit and recently at the Check Rock League, this quick and versatile prospect has continued to prove he is an outstanding two-way guard who knows how to win. His transition scoring and distributing skills are impressive. In the half-court Kennedy can get buckets from anywhere on the floor. His smothering on-ball defense frequently leads to easy buckets. Kennedy holds an offer from NJIT, but more programs should offer this outstanding backcourt prospect immediately.
Kyle Shawaluk Kyle Shawaluk 6'4" | SG Perkiomen Valley | 2024 State PA – 6’5″ / Perkiomen Valley / PSB Philly / Wing: Simply put, Shawaluk took his game to another level this summer. He dominated events like Philly HS Live, Summer Jam Fest, HG Summer Finale, and the Check Rock League. His ability to drain triples from all over the court nicely sets up his dribble drive game. He can also get out in transition to score or distribute. With his physicality, length, quickness, and motor Shawaluk is a plus rebounder too. Those same assets enable him to guard 2 through 4. How Shawaluk does not have multiple offers right now is a mystery to us.
