<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of four teams consisting of prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who college coaches need to keep an eye on at this weekend's Made Hoops East Warmup event taking place in Manalapan, New Jersey.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>15U</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mt. Pleasant Bulldogs: </strong>Good luck keeping up with these young bucks, because this team is stocked with guards and wings who can push the pace and finish in transition. Elite 2027 guards [player_tooltip player_id='2194339' first='Jarrod' last='Denard'], Sean “Shizz” Banks, [player_tooltip player_id='2427336' first='Rahkiy' last='Mason'] and Matt Tollerson-Irby will split the ball handling duties. All four of them can go coast-to-coast in a flash. Athletic wings [player_tooltip player_id='2435925' first='Rahmir' last='Speaks'] (West Catholic), and [player_tooltip player_id='2450658' first='Jack' last='McMullin'] (Archbishop Ryan) will fill the lanes on the fast break and score from all over the floor in the half-court. For MPB-15U, college coaches will also want to keep an eye on 6'4” forward [player_tooltip player_id='2950269' first='Caj' last='Jones']. He received significant varsity minutes for Wissahickon this past season but somehow Jones is still flying under the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>16U</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA: </strong>Pride's 16U squad features a trio of ridiculously talented point guards in [player_tooltip player_id='1608494' first='Dior' last='Carter'] (10 ppg. &amp; 7 rpg.), [player_tooltip player_id='1454262' first='Rowan' last='Miller'] (11.6 ppg.), and [player_tooltip player_id='1387096' first='Bryce' last='Rollerson'] (26.5 ppg.; 1^st Team All-Inter-Ac). Running in the backcourt with those three floor generals will be shooting guards [player_tooltip player_id='1406768' first='Sammy' last='Jackson'] (33% on 3PA) and [player_tooltip player_id='2251289' first='Cody' last='Fisher'] (18 ppg.; 50+ 3PM). Standout forwards such as [player_tooltip player_id='2056714' first='Ryan' last='Warren'] (11.6 ppg. &amp; 6 rpg.), [player_tooltip player_id='1888747' first='Latief' last='Lorenzano-White'] (2^nd Team All-PPL) and [player_tooltip player_id='1454261' first='Reggie' last='King'] will provide scoring from the mid-range to the rim. This roster also boasts several highly ranked prospects from New Jersey including [player_tooltip player_id='1919210' first='Mikah' last='Hart']. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>17U</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] HGSL:</strong> This ECP team is going to shoot the lights out from deep and present mismatches all over the floor. Marple-Newtown 3-point ace [player_tooltip player_id='1382984' first='Matt' last='Gardler'] (20 ppg.; Central League MVP) and New Jersey sniper Luke Kennevan (57 3PM) will being dialing up triples all weekend. Meanwhile [player_tooltip player_id='1379429' first='Donovan' last='Fromhartz'] (1,000+ pts.; 1^st Team All-Ches-Mont), [player_tooltip player_id='1867330' first='Deacon' last='Baratta'] (11 ppg.) and Phelps School standout [player_tooltip player_id='2047528' first='Kodi' last='Johnson'] form a group of elite stretch-4 prospects who will be difficult for opponents to defend. Running the show for this ECP team will be point guards [player_tooltip player_id='2028258' first='Matt' last='McCarthy'] (16 ppg.) from Episcopal Academy and Roman Catholic's Sebastian Edwards (9 ppg.). &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>NJ Scholars EYBL:</strong> Scholars 17U's offensive game plan will revolve around 1st Team All-PCL selections like power forward [player_tooltip player_id='1188620' first='Shareef' last='Jackson'] (17 &amp; 10 per; Co-MVP), combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1197607' first='Jaron' last='McKie'] (18 ppg.) and wing [player_tooltip player_id='1460800' first='Jordan' last='Ellerbee'] (14 ppg.; 42 made threes). Second Team All-PCL standout [player_tooltip player_id='1188621' first='Olin' last='Chamberlain'] (12 ppg.) provides additional firepower in the backcourt. That foursome provides a tremendous blend of perimeter shooting, dominant interior scoring and transition buckets.
