Continue ReadingThe second annual CBG JUCO/Prep Showdown will take place this weekend at U Turn and Ben Wallace Gym, and it’s one of the few events during the fall that division one schools can attend and evaluate in person. The consists of JUCO, post grad and private schools from up and down the east coast, as well as an Overtime Elite team too.
Here’s a look at part two of some of the high school and post grad prospects from MD teams that will be in attendance.
Shontez Anderson | 6’6” F | Shabach National 2024
Anderson looked really good for a talented Shabach team that features a lot of good prospects, and he’s an underrated available one who showed a lot of versatility and played with good energy. At 6’6” he played in the post while also being able to switch and guard on the perimeter, he ran the floor and showed the ability to handle in transition and he scored the ball well around the rim and in the midrange. He is a good athlete who gets after it and has a great base skillset to make plays with.
Andre Thomas | 6’0” PG | Shabach National 2024
Thomas is the floor general for this Shabach group and has been over the past two years, and he’s the calming presence who gets them into their sets while directing traffic. He’s a strong guard who handles pressure well, he gets downhill and makes plays for others while also setting the tone defensively with his ability to guard the ball the length of the floor. He is a good finisher who can put pressure on the defense and make something out of nothing when his team needs him to.
Neiko Mundey Neiko Mundey 6'2" | PG Shabach Christian | 2026 State MD | 6’3” WG | Shabach National 2026
Mundey is one of the most talented and polished young prospects in the DMV, as he is a natural scoring guard who can fill it up in a lot of different ways. He’s shifty and crafty off the bounce with the ability to create space and his great balance allows him to make contested shots at different angles from multiple levels. He is becoming a more explosive finisher around and above the rim, he is deadly from the midrange off the bounce and he can drill it from deep with effortless range as well.
Francis Folefac Francis Folefac 6'6" | C Mt. Zion Prep Academy | 2025 State MD | 6’7” PF | MT. Zion National 2025
Folefac picked up an offer from Bethune-Cookman due to his play at the event, as he showed his versatility and playmaking ability at his size that makes him a walking mismatch. He has great ball skills for his size as he can put it on the deck and always sees the floors and can catch defenses in rotations to find cutters and shooters for easy shots. He scores the ball well in the paint and at the elbows, he/s comfortable stepping out on the perimeter and he is a good rebounder with toughness in the paint too.
Khalib Norcome Khalib Norcome 6'5" | SF Mt. Zion | 2026 State MD | 6’6” WF | Mt. Zion National 2026
Norcome looks every bit like he could be a high major prospect moving forward, as the 6’6” wing possesses big time athleticism with a lot of skills that could translate well moving forward to the next level. He has long arms and is an explosive finisher when he gets downhill or is out in transition, he has a good handle to create space in isolation situations and he is an aggressive scorer who looks for his shots while also making plays for others. He shows tremendous potential moving forward and as he continues to polish his skillset will have a lot of coaches coming his way to recruit him in the next few years.
Shane Pendergrass Shane Pendergrass 6'8" | PF Mt. Zion | 2026 State MD | 6’8” F | Mt. Zion National 2026
Pendergrass is another on this team that I think will start to see high major interest in the next year or so, as he continues to not only get better but seems to be getting taller every time we see him. The 6’8” hybrid forward has a unique skillset as he’s a perimeter oriented forward with great ball skills that is deadly from deep. He’s a good athlete who can get up and down and plays above the rim, he can handle in transition and he’s a versatile defender who can move his feet and stay in front to contest shots too.
