In addition to the prospect’s talent level, a few other factors went into compiling this group of players. Items such as strength of regular season schedule, the skill level of key teammates and potential matchups in the 5A bracket were among the other variables considered.
James Brenner James Brenner 6'5" | SG Unionville | 2026 State PA – 6’5″ / 2026 / Unionville / East Coast Power / Wing: Brenner is a versatile stretch-4 style prospect who already holds offers from Sacred Heart and Bryant University. He possesses a feathery jump shot, can score off the dribble or via quick post ups. He is an underrated open court threat too. This winter Brenner scored a season high 18 points on three separate occasions. In the District 1-5A semifinals Brenner posted 16 points and 8 rebounds. The Longhorns lineup of Brenner, plus their senior guard trio of Ryan Brown Ryan Brown 6'3" | CG Unionville | 2024 State PA , James Anderson James Anderson 6'2" | CG Unionville | 2024 State PA and Charlie Kammeier cake walked to the District 1-5A title. We predict they could make a deep run in the state tournament too.
Roadblock: Potential quarterfinals matchup with Archbishop Ryan
Adrian Brito Adrian Brito 6'6" | PF Pocono Mountain West | 2025 State PA – 6’5” / 2025 / Pocono Mountain West / NEPA Elite / Small Forward: Brito is a traditional small forward with a sneaky accurate 3-point shot. He can dominate a game by scoring in the mid-range, from the baseline and in the paint. He is a beast on the glass as well. This season Brito averaged 17.8 ppg. He torched PM East for a season high 37 points (2 threes). During PMW’s run to the District 11-5A title Brito posted 22 ppg. Brito, DI guard prospect KJ Coles KJ Coles 6'2" | CG Pocono Mountain West | 2026 State PA and combo guard Devin Artis Devin Artis 5'10" | PG Pocono Mt. West | 2024 State PA (Keystone College commit) form a scoring trio that is difficult to stop. We believe these three prospects can carry PMW far this month.
Roadblock: Potential 2nd Round matchup with Archbishop Ryan
Max Lebisky Max Lebisky 6'5" | SF Phoenixville | 2024 State PA – 6’5” / 2024 / Phoenixville / Eastern PA Elite / Wing: Lebisky is a 1st Team All-PAC selection with a high IQ, a smooth shooting touch and unique bully ball skills. The versatile Lebisky averaged 13 ppg. and led Phoenixville to the PAC tournament title. Lebisky netted 17 points and the game winner in that PAC championship game. Back in January he posted 22 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists in a win over Upper Merion. He holds an offer from West Chester University (D2). Lebisky will team with stretch-4 prospect Deacon Baratta Deacon Baratta 6'6" | SF Phoenixville | 2025 State PA , wing Dawson Brown Dawson Brown 6'1" | CG Phoenixville | 2026 State PA and shooting guard Christian Cervino Christian Cervino 5'11" | CG Phoenixville | 2024 State PA to push Phoenixville through the 5A bracket.
Roadblock: Potential 2nd Round matchup with Imhotep Charter
Zaahir Muhammad-Gray Zaahir Muhammad-Gray 6'5" | SF Imhotep Charter | 2026 State PA – 6’5″ / 2026 / Imhotep Charter / Team Final EYBL / Small Forward: Muhammad-Gray is a long, athletic, and instinctive hybrid-forward. He excels in transition, can pop jumpers from all over the floor, score from the blocks and via the offensive glass. In 2023-24 Muhammad-Gray was a 1st Team All-PPL selection as he helped Imhotep rack up a 24-3 record along with the PPL title and the District 12-5A hardware. Muhammad-Grey’s jaw dropping performance of the season was a double-double of 18 points and 15 rebounds against Lincoln. On defense, Muhammad-Gray is an intimidating rim protector. Running with Muhammad-Gray is all-world guard Ahmad Nowell Ahmad Nowell 6'0" | PG Imhotep Charter | 2024 State #36 Nation PA (UConn commit), wing Ma’Kye Taylor Ma’Kye Taylor 6'7" | PF Imhotep Charter | 2024 State PA (Albany commit), small forward Jeremiah White Jeremiah White 6'6" | PF Imhotep Charter | 2024 State PA , shooting guard Carnell Henderson Carnell Henderson 6'5" | SF Imhotep Charter | 2025 State PA and 2027 standout Zion Green Zion Green 6'8" | PF PA . With its loaded roster, it should not be a shock that Imhotep is the favorite to win the 5A state title.
Roadblock: Potential semifinals matchup with Cathedral Prep
Thomas Sorber Thomas Sorber 6'9" | C Archbishop Ryan | 2024 State #58 Nation PA – 6’8″ / 2024 / Archbishop Ryan / Team Final EYBL / Power Forward: In 2023-24 the premiere big man in the region posted a stat line of 18.5 points, 11 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game while shooting 62% from the field. Sorber was the Co-MVP of the PCL and led Ryan to the PCL championship game. Hoops heads are still taking about the 41/19/10 triple double Sorber (Georgetown commit) recorded back in December. In addition to dominating the paint, Sorber will sprinkle in mid-range jumpers. While Sober holds down the interior, all-everything shooting guard Darren Williams Darren Williams 6'4" | SG Archbishop Ryan | 2024 State PA (FGCU commit), wing Jaden Murray Jaden Murray 6'7" | PF Archbishop Ryan | 2024 State PA and combo guard Ryan Everett Ryan Everett 6'1" | SG Archbishop Ryan | 2024 State PA take care of business on the perimeter. That inside-outside scoring combination will take Ryan deep into March.
