15U
Jarrod Denard Jarrod Denard WF PA – 6’1″ / 2027 / Archbishop Wood / Mt. Pleasant Bulldogs / Combo Guard: “Buddy” Denardis a top rated 2027 who this past season saw limited minutes for a Wood squad that was loaded with DI prospects. He would be a starter for most of the programs in the region. Denard is a prolific scorer who can produce points at every level. He is a fast lead guard with elusive handles who creates for himself and teammates. Denard’s accurate three-point shooting allows him to run at shooting guard fro stretches. One national publication has Denard slotted as the No. 7 ranked 2027 prospect in the country.
16U
Jordan Dill Jordan Dill 5'11" | CG Germantown Friends | 2026 State PA – 6’1″ / 2026 / Germantown Friends / Team Melo EYBL / Point Guard: Our No. 1 ranked 2026 prospect posted another monster season – 27 points 7.5 rebounds and 3 assists. He was once again a 1st Team All-FSL selection and already holds a pile of DI offers. But this spring Dill has made an intriguing change and jumped to Team Melo EYBL. It will be interesting to witness Dill work on a team that features a “national roster” where he may not be the No. 1 option on every possession. With his high IQ, passing skills and unselfish mindset we are confident that Dill will figure things out quickly and continue to impress college coaches.
Cameron Smith Cameron Smith 6'7" | PF Academy Of New Church | 2026 State PA – 6’7″ / 2026 / Academy of New Church / Philly Revolution / Power Forward: Smith (11 ppg. & 6 rpg.) is a sneaky athletic power forward with the skills to operate out of the high post or down on the blocks. His can score or facilitate for teammates from either location on the floor. When he is looking to score Smith does so on quick post-ups as well as dives to the cup and pick-n-rolls. Smith with also hit mid-range jumpers and sprinkle in the occasional 3-ball. He can generate points via the offensive glass too. The combination of his positioning skills and relentless motor makes Smith a force on the defensive boards.
17U
EJ Campbell EJ Campbell 6'0" | CG Spring Ford | 2024 State PA – 6’2” / 2024 / Spring Ford / East Coast Power -US / Combo Guard: How Campbell remains uncommitted is a mystery to us. During his senior year Campbell contributed 16 points, 6 assists and 3 steals per game. Plus, he shot 34% from behind the arc. Those stats earned him 1st Team All-PAC and 1st Team All-Area selections. Campbell is a long as well as athletic prospect, and he can play either guard spot. He can score at all three levels, distribute, and rebound. Campbell owns a high IQ and is a vocal leader on the floor. He also possesses many of the other intangibles that college coaches obsess over.
Deuce Maxey Deuce Maxey 6'2" | SG Archbishop Wood | 2025 State PA – 6’2” / 2025 / Archbishop Wood / Team Final EYBL / Combo Guard: In 2023-24 Maxey was the 3rd option for Wood team that went to the 6A state semifinals. Spring 2024 will serve as his breakout period and that step forward starts this weekend. Maxey (7.5 ppg.) owns a reputation as a transition phenom. He possesses a ridiculously quick first step, which means in the half court he can blow past defenders off the bounce with ease. Maxey’s 3-point shot has developed into a legitimate weapon too (34% on 3PA in state tourney). As a nice bonus, Maxey is a tenacious defender who can rapidly turn a steal into an easy bucket.
