Eagle Academy II is a deep and talented group with a number of division one prospects up and down the roster. They’ll need everyone to step up, as it feels like they’re going into the post season with a target on their backs. Sanders is a senior guard who can get to the rim seemingly at will, creates off the dribble and defends at a high level. He’s brought his trademark edge to Eagle and will hope to capture a Brooklyn and potentially a city championship before he’s done
We touched a bit on Flavio Jean and Tori Babs-Ogundeji last week after BC’s game at the Gotham Hoops Class and both of them will need to continue perform if Collegiate is going to go on a run. Senior big man Tyler Edore Tyler Edore 6’7″ | PF Brooklyn Collegiate | 2024 State NY will be as big a reason as any in his own right. The all-time leading shot blocker at Collegiate, his defense and rebounding is going to be paramount to.

A 6-foot-4 slashing wing who can get to the rim and has surprisingly good body control as a finisher.

Asher Elson

A 6-foot-10 forward who can stretch the floor and protect the rim, Elson has continually improved throughout the year. The Vikings will take on a Brooklyn College Academy squad who just pulled the upset in the first round of the playoffs in today’s quarter-final.
