Isaiah Gore Isaiah Gore 6'2" | PG Trenton Catholic Preparatory Academy | 2026 State NJ , 6’2 PG Trenton Catholic 2026
Gore made plays throughout the workout as he showed his ability to make plays on and off the ball. The 6’2 guard used his handle to get to his spot on the floor and didn’t get rattled by on-ball pressure. Gore rose up nicely on his jumper and made smart decisions with the ball in his hands. He used his length to be disruptive on defense and moved well without the ball in his hands. Gore is a lanky guard prospect who is primed to have a big AAU season for the Jersey Force .
Omari Moore Omari Moore 6'3" | SG Hudson Catholic | 2025 State #245 Nation NJ , 6’3 SG Hudson Catholic 2025
Moore had a strong showing on Saturday as he was able to put his offensive game on display. The 6’3 guard has a smooth release on his jumper as he wasted little motion and made jumpers with ease behind the arc. Moore exploded off the floor at times for dunks and showed a good pullup jumper as well. He used his handle to get to his spot on the floor and was able to get deflections on defense. Moore is a skilled guard prospect whose ability to score the ball in a variety of ways will make him one to watch this AAU season.
Zayier Dean Zayier Dean 6'0" | PG Red Bank Regional | 2025 State NJ , 6’0 PG Red Bank Regional 2025
Dean had a big day at the workout as he made plays at both ends of the floor. The 6’0 lefty used his combination of speed and handle to get by his defender and finish around the rim. Dean shot the ball with confidence from behind the arc and was able to create his own shot off the bounce. He made good passes throughout the day and slid his feet well defensively to make it hard for his man to get to his spot on the floor. Dean is a speedy, lead guard prospect whose stock will rise if he maintains his play on Saturday into the AAU season.
Will Foley Will Foley 5'11" | SG Notre Dame | 2026 State NJ , 5’11 SG Notre Dame 2026
Foley had a huge showing at the workout as he was decisive on the offensive end. The 5’11 guard has a clean release on his jumper as he wasted little motion and knocked down almost every open shot from behind the arc. Foley did more than just shoot as he also got into the paint off the bounce and finished nicely in the paint. He moved well without the ball in his hands and rarely forced jumpers in the halfcourt. Foley is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should torch the nets this AAU season.
Talan Bacote Talan Bacote 6'2" | SG Bloomfield | 2025 NJ , 6’2 SG Bloomfield 2025
Bacote had a good showing at the workout as he stood out throughout the day. The 6’2 guard attacked the basket with a purpose as he finished strong above the rim and was unafraid of drawing contact. Bacote used his handle to create space for himself off the bounce and rarely turned the ball over. He used his length to be disruptive defensively as he was able to generate deflections and turnovers on the ball. Bacote is a sleeper prospect to watch in the class as he is a hard-working guard prospect with a high motor who makes plays at both ends of the floor.
