<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2024 available pool just got a little smaller as Peddie wing <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1269775' first='Ebrahim' last='Kaba']</strong> committed to St. Bonaventure on Monday. The class still has talent that can make an impact at the next level, especially in the frontcourt. Here are the top available 2024 non-NJSIAA frontcourt prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1702424' first='Bronson' last='Schmidt-Uili'], 6'10 C Olympus Prep</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schmidt-Uili is one of the top frontcourt prospects in the 2024 class and should put his skillset on full display this season. The 6'10 post has a soft touch around the basket and finishes strong above the rim. Schmidt-Uili has a solid face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and can knock down jumpers in the mid-range. He makes good outlet passes and influences shots around the basket on defense. Schmidt-Uili's versatility is something that will help his stock throughout the winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1153967' first='James' last='Moore'], 6'9 PF Patrick School</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moore returns to the Patrick School and should make plays for the Celtics this season. The 6'9 forward can stretch the floor as he has a high release on his jumper and hit open jumpers from behind the arc. Moore finishes well around the basket and is able to draw contact in the paint. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and is an underrated interior defender. Moore is a talented forward prospect who should make plays for the Patrick School in 2023-24.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107672' first='Will' last='Syndor'], 6'9 PF Patrick School</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Syndor has the ability to play multiple spots in the frontcourt, making him one of the more intriguing prospects in the class. The 6'9 forward attacks the basket strong as he elevates for dunks and can finish through contact. Syndor uses his size to see over his defender and rises up nicely on his jumper. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and moves well without the ball in his hands. Syndor is a long forward prospect who will be one to watch in the Garden State all season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1944302' first='Eric' last='Ihekwaba'], 6'10 C Blair Academy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ihekwaba mans the post for the Buccaneers and has the potential to have a strong season. The 6'10 post uses his body to carve out space down low and finishes nicely around the basket. Ihekwaba is unafraid of drawing contact down low and runs the floor hard at both ends of the floor. He is a force on the glass and swats a ton of shots on defense. Ihekwaba is a physical post prospect whose ability to control the paint will help his development in 2023-24.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1773124' first='Assane' last='Mbaye'], 7'3 C Patrick School</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mbaye is getting more comfortable within the Celtics' offense, which should help his development nicely. The 7'3 post has a nice touch around the basket and is able to draw contact in the paint. Mbaye sets good screens in the halfcourt and has a good release on his free throws. He influences nearly everything around the basket with his length and secures second chance opportunities for his team on offense. Mbaye is one of the top rim-protectors in the Garden State and will put it on display in 2023-24.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2116130' first='Adoulaye' last='Komate'], 6'5 SF Patrick School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='902737' first='Zack' last='Davis'], 6'7 SF Peddie</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1919112' first='Rok' last='Popovic'], 6'9 PF Patrick School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1773140' first='Matt' last='Manley'], 7'0 C League Bound Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107671' first='Giorgios' last='Xoxakos'], 6'6 PF Hun</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
