He can attack the cup off the dribble, then score via a lay-in or a flush. Johnston can also slam on the brakes and pull up for a mid-range jumper. Plus, Johnston is an accurate 3-point shooter. His transition finishing skills are impressive too. In 2023-24 Johnston has recorded box scores of 18 points and 7 rebounds against Perkiomen School; 21 points (4 threes) vs. Friends Central; and 16 points (2 threes) to go along with 11 rebounds vs. Peddie (NJ). Johnston holds an offer from Fordham, but more schools should be banging on his door.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>#52…</em></strong><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1865294' first='Cameron' last='Smith'] </strong><strong>– 6'7″ / Academy of New Church / Philly Revolution / Power Forward:</strong> Smith (11 ppg. &amp; 6 rpg.) is a traditional forward. On offense he is comfortable operating out of the high post or the low blocks. He can score or distribute from either spot. Smith will drop the occasional 3-ball. He is a beast on the glass at both ends. Smith is sneaky athletic and runs rim to rim extremely well. His impressive stat lines from this season include 18 points and 9 rebounds vs. Rocktop Academy; 12 points and 10 boards vs. Peddie (NJ); as well as 15 points against Penn Charter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>#106…</em></strong><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1550115' first='Justin' last='Bobb'] </strong><strong>– 6'5″ / Conwell-Egan / [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] / Small Forward:</strong> Bobb is a long, athletic, and fast prospect which makes him an open court phenom. In the half-court he can pop threes and score off the bounce. Bobb can cut backdoor for a catch and lay-in too. He is a plus rebounder at both ends. On defense, his wingspan and quickness enable Bobb to frequently steal opponent's passes. This season Bobb is posting 6.4 points and 5 rebounds per game. He scored 16 points (2 threes) and grabbed 5 rebounds against West Catholic. He also registered 9 points and 11 rebounds vs. Lansdale Catholic.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>#128…</em></strong><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1939244' first='Correll' last='Akings'] </strong><strong>– 5'10” / 2026 / Wilson / Young Hooperz / Combo Guard:</strong> Akings is a versatile guard prospect with great end to end speed. He can push the fast break to score or distribute. In the half court, Akings can direct sets, splash threes, and score off the dribble too. His ability to hit pull ups is noteworthy as well. During his sophomore campaign, Akings is averaging 11.6 points per game. However, over his last five contests that stat line has increased to 14.8 ppg. (2 3PM per contest). He torched Muhlenberg for a season high 23 points (2 threes).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>#140…</em></strong><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1608258' first='DeShawn' last='Yates'] </strong><strong>– 5'10" / Neumann-Goretti / [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] / Combo Guard:</strong> When NG standout guard [player_tooltip player_id='1123910' first='Khaafiq' last='Myers'] suffered a season ending knee injury, Yates was thrust into spotlight. He has responded with several outstanding performances -- 24 points (1 three), 9 assists, 7 rebounds and 4 steals in a win over Conwell-Egan; 16 points (3 triples) and 5 dimes against SJP; as well as 14 points and 7 rebounds against West Catholic.
