Ellerbee (1st Team All-PCL as well as 3rd Team All-Area) can run as a primary ball handler too. Drexel and Albany have already offered Ellerbee.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='933048' first='Tristen' last='Guillouette'] – 6'9″ / 2024 / George School / NJ Scholars EYBL / Power Forward:</strong> Guillouette is committed to FGCU. In his senior year this polished big man posted 19.2 ppg. along with 10.5 rpg. while shooting 60% from the field. Guillouette's stat line in their Donofrio Classic semifinal win was 30 points, 13 boards and 4 blocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1202209' first='Jalen' last='Harper'] </strong><strong>– 6'4” / 2024 / St. Joe's Prep / [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] / Wing:</strong> Harper is an athletic and high IQ walking bucket. In 2023-24 Harper averaged 11.4 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game. He shot 37% from behind the arc. As a nice bonus, Harper (2nd Team All-PCL) is a menacing defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Deuce Jones – 6'3” / 2024 / College Achieve (NJ) / Team Rio / Combo Guard:</strong> Jones (21 ppg.) is a LaSalle University commit who hung 47 points on the scoreboard during Team Awesome's semifinal win last night. We expect his prolific scoring will continue in the title game as Jones can score from anywhere inside the building.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='991421' first='Ryan' last='Williams'] </strong><strong>– 6'3” / 2024 / Malvern Prep / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA / Combo Guard:</strong> This Northeastern commit can score at every level (multiple 30-spots at MP) and work as a playmaking point guard. After his senior season Williams was a 1^st Team All-Inter-Ac selection. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Positive Image Blue</u></strong><strong>:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1486754' first='TJ' last='Bryson'] – 5'10″ / 2025 / Penn Charter / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Combo Guard:</strong> This winter Bryson (5 ppg.; 37% 3PM) was a highly skilled prospect flying under the radar on a loaded PC roster. He possesses good his speed and crafty handles. That combination of assets enables him to generate points at the rim and in the mid-range. Bryson scored 14 points in Positive Image's semifinal win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1460781' first='Jalen' last='Chiles'] </strong><strong>– 6'1” / 2025 / Friends Select / BW Elite / Combo Guard:</strong> Chiles is an electric backcourt prospect can play either guard spot. He can score at all three levels and facilitate for teammates. During the 2023-24 season Chiles posted 17.5 points 4.3 assists and 5 rebounds per game while shooting 40% from three.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1850270' first='Abdrahaman' last='Coulibaly'] </strong><strong>– 6'3″ / 2024 / West Philadelphia / BW Elite / Wing:</strong> As a senior Coulibaly averaged 18.9 points and 8 rebounds to go along with 3 assists per game. Coulibaly (1st Team All-PPL) is a long and fast prospect with significant transition skills. His feathery jump shot is a remarkable weapon too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1173986' first='Fazl' last='Oshodi'] – 6'3″ / 2024 / Friends Central / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Combo Guard:</strong> “Tricky Faz” is one of the elite scoring guards in the region. After his fantastic senior season, Oshodi (14 ppg. &amp; 4 rpg.) was named as a 1^st Team All-FSL selection. Last week he posted 33 points (9 triples) in a Donofrio Classic game. How Oshodi remains unsigned is a mystery to us.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1466558' first='Brandon' last='Williams'] </strong><strong>– 6'4″ / 2025 / West Philly / BW Elite / Shooting Guard:</strong> Williams (2^nd Team All-PPL) destroys opponents with his ability to hit shots of every variety and from all over the floor. Additionally, he owns the end-to-end speed, athleticism and finishing skills to contribute in the open court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
