2023-24 Week 15: SEPA New Names to Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is our review of five<em> “new”</em> prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who made a name for themselves during Week 15 of the 2023-24 high school basketball season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1762897' first='Shane' last='Doyle'] </strong><strong>– 6'2” / 2025 / Devon Prep / [program_tooltip program_id='2423459' first='PA' last='Hoops Academy'] / Wing:</strong> College coaches and scouts should not measure Doyle (9 ppg.) on his scoring stats alone, as he contributes to every facet of the game. On offense he plays more like a point-forward, delivering well timed and precise dimes to teammates. Doyle can also score at all three levels and rebounds extremely well for his size. As a nice bonus, Doyle's constant communication, quick hands and anticipation skills make him is a defensive force. This past weekend during DP's 1^st 3A state tourney win Doyle stuffed the stat book with 19 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2391408' first='Tahmiere' last='Manning'] – 6'4” / 2025 / Overbrook / League Bound Elite / Small Forward:</strong> Manning is a traditional small forward who averaged 9.6 points and 8 rebounds per game in his senior campaign. He registered several double doubles during the 2023-24 season. He can produce points from the high post, the blocks, on dives to the rim and via the offensive glass. On defense he is a solid shot blocker and rebounder. On Saturday he exploded for 17 points while grabbing 8 rebounds in Overbrook's OT win against PJP in the 4A state tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2383207' first='Malik' last='Osumanu'] </strong><strong>– 6'5” / 2024 / Reading / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] Red / Small Forward:</strong> Coming into the 1^st Round of the 6A stat tournament, Osumanu had scored a total of 12 points across his last three games. But Osumanu could not have picked a better time for a 17-point offensive outburst. Reading needed every one of those points to hold of a comeback bid by Chester and secure a 65-63 win. Osumanu impressed with his ability to score along the baseline and in transition. He also worked the glass for numerous put backs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zach Paczewski </strong><strong>– 5'11” / 2024 / Dallas / Combo Guard:</strong> Paczewski dialed up triples from all over the floor as Dallas pulled off a mild upset in their comeback win over PPL contender West Philly. On Saturday night Paczewski drained 8 threes (8 of 11 on 3PA) on his way to 28 points. In addition to splashing jumpers from deep, Paczewski can also play as a secondary ball handler. He is committed to Radford for baseball, but he may want to consider walking on for the Highlanders MBB team too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2383229' first='Robbie' last='Ruisch'] – </strong><strong>6'3” / 2024 / Parkland / LVBS Elite / Shooting Guard:</strong> A third option who can score at every level, handle the rock, and facilitate for teammates is a nice piece to have in your starting lineup. Ruisch displayed all those skills and more in Parkland's 6A state tourney opening round win over Plymouth Whitemarsh. He posted 17 points on the strength of 4 made threes and grabbed 5 boards. When he was not scoring, Ruisch was breaking PW's full court press and then setting up teammates for easy baskets. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
