Team Final EYBL 15U is Going to Be Tough to Beat
Fresh off winning the Gym Rat Live 15U championship, the youngest Team Final squad will look to keep things rolling at Spooky Nook this weekend. Given the talent on this roster that should not be a problem. Combo-guards Korey Francis Korey Francis 6'2" | CG Bonner-Prendie | 2027 State PA (Gym Rat Live MVP) and Marvin Reed Marvin Reed 5'10" | PG Malvern Prep | 2027 State PA as well as point guard Patrese Feamster Patrese Feamster 6'3" | SG Friends Central | 2027 State PA form a fantastic backcourt. Nick Harken Nick Harken 6'4" | SF Malvern Prep | 2027 State PA is a multi-skilled wing who presents serious matchup problems. 6’9” power forward Daniel Gilhool Daniel Gilhool 6'9" | C Penn Charter | 2027 State PA controls the paint at both ends. Top rated Delaware prospect Marquis Newson is another key member of this roster.
College Coaches Will Like Noah McIntosh Noah McIntosh 6'5" | PF Cardinal O'Hara | 2024 State PA ‘s Skill Set
McIntosh is a under the radar 2024 who is playing with East Coast Power ‘s team of unsigned seniors at the Spring Jam Fest. This winter the athletic wing style forward earned a starting spot at Cardinal O’Hara and averaged 6 points to go along with 4 rebounds per game. In 2023-24 he posted noteworthy games of 17 and 15 points. McIntosh used the momentum from a solid high school as a springboard for a stretch of fantastic runs at last weekend’s Pitt Jam Fest. He can drain threes all day and play in the open court. When McIntosh is out in transition, his speed, athleticism and hops make him difficult to stop. His ability to convert on tough finishes in traffic is impressive.
K-Low Elite 3SSB 17U Should Make a Deep Run
K-Low’s 17U squad features a truck load of talented players. Superstar wing prospect Devin Booker Devin Booker 6'5" | SF Cristo Rey Philadelphia | 2025 State #347 Nation PA (17 ppg; 64 3PM; 1st Team All-State) and elite combo guard KJ Cochran KJ Cochran 6'3" | CG Perkiomen | 2025 State #111 Nation PA (PAISAA state champion; 2nd Team All-State) are the top scoring options. Point guard extraordinaire Jacob Meachem Jacob Meachem 5'8" | PG Hill School | 2025 State PA (1st Team All-MAPL) directs the show. Running with that trio on the perimeter will be 3-point sniper Kai Shinholster Kai Shinholster 6'5" | SG William Penn Charter | 2025 State #133 Nation PA (11 ppg.) as well as combo guards Antwone George Antwone George 6'2" | CG Conwell-Egan | 2025 State PA (14.5 ppg. & 8 rpg.) and Keni’ Williams Keni’ Williams 6'2" | PG SCH Academy | 2025 State PA (14 ppg.). Small forward Zeke Staz Zeke Staz 6'7" | C Downingtown West | 2025 State PA (15.5 & 10 per night; 1st Team All-Ches-Mont) is a force from the mid-range to the rim. Staz presents serious match-up issues for opponents. He remains one of the top under the radar prospects in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Sahin Rodriguez Sahin Rodriguez 6'0" | CG Carver - Engineering & Sciences | 2026 State PA Continues to Impress
Last week’s Pitt Jam Fest served as Rodriguez’s breakout grassroots circuit event. His outstanding play led MPB-15U to a 3-1 record. Included in Rodriguez’s weekend was a head turning performance of 21 points and 6 rebounds in their division semifinal contest. We expect more of the same from this 6’3” perimeter prospect this weekend out at Spooky Nook. Rodriguez is an instinctive, fast, and versatile player. His well-rounded skill set enables him to contribute to every facet of the game. Rodriguez can shoot threes, score off the dribble, facilitate for teammates and is a plus rebounder / defender.
