Kenny Thompson Kenny Thompson 6'9" | PF Blair Academy | 2026 State NJ , 6’9 PF Blair Academy
Thompson is one of the more intriguing prospects to watch in the class with his combination of size and length. The lanky 6’9 forward runs the floor hard, setting himself up for easy dunks and layups in transition. Thompson has a nice touch around the basket and is capable of drawing contact in the paint. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his size to swat shots around the basket. Thompson is a talented, forward prospect whose game should grow in a big way this season.
Jebron Harris Jebron Harris 6'4" | SF College Achieve Charter | 2026 State NJ , 6’4 SF College Achieve
Harris can also play in the backcourt as well, making him one of the more intriguing prospects in the class. The St. Thomas Aquinas transfer has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Harris moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He can also put the ball on the floor and slides his feet on defense. Harris’ ability to stretch the floor is something that will help his stock throughout the 2023-24 season.
Eric Hillsman Eric Hillsman 6'7" | SF Roselle Catholic | 2026 State NJ , 6’7 SF Roselle Catholic
Hillsman joins a talented Lions’ roster that looks to repeat as Non-Public B champions and should make an impact right away. The Bishop Kearney transfer attacks the basket strong as he elevates for dunks and does not mind drawing contact in the paint. Hillsman uses his body to see over his defender and rises up with confidence on his jumper. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is a solid rebounder. Hillsman is a lanky, wing prospect who should have a strong sophomore season for Roselle Catholic.
Will Higgs Will Higgs 6'11" | C St. Peter's Prep | 2026 State NJ , 6’11 C St. Peter’s Prep
Higgs has the potential to have a big 2023-24 season as he should get more touches down low. The CBA transfer is a force on the glass as he rips down rebounds at both ends of the floor and secures second chance opportunities for his team. Higgs uses his size to influence shots on defense and has a nice touch around the basket. He can knock down jumpers in the mid-range and sets good screens in the halfcourt. Higgs’ ability to control the paint is something that will help his stock in a big way this season.
Logan Franz Logan Franz 6'10" | PF Rutgers Prep | 2026 State NJ , 6’10 PF Rutgers Prep
Franz is a prospect to watch in New Jersey and should make an impact down low for the Argonauts. The Gill St. Bernard’s transfer finishes well around the basket and has an underrated handle. Franz has a high release on his free throws and runs the floor hard to set himself up for easy baskets in transition. He blocks shots around the basket and fights for rebounds at both ends of the floor. Franz is a lanky forward prospect whose ability to swat shots and finish around the basket will help his development in a big way.
