Rashad Robinson Rashad Robinson 5'11" | CG Hudson Catholic | 2027 State NJ , 5’11 Hudson Catholic
Robinson has the potential to have a big spring with his ability to make plays with the ball in his hands. The 5’11 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to get past his defender and finish around the basket. Robinson can also score in the mid-range and wastes little motion on his jumper. He has the ability to play off the ball as well and is an underrated defender. Robinson is a skilled guard prospect who should make plays throughout the spring and summer.
Elijah Colon Elijah Colon 6'1" | CG St. Peter's Prep | 2027 State NJ , 6’1 St. Peter’s Prep
Colon showed the ability to play on and off the ball, which will help his development this spring. The 6’1 guard has a good first step, which he uses to get by his defender and finish at the rim. Colon sets his feet before he shoots and rarely forces shots in the halfcourt. He uses his length to make an impact on the defensive end and is an underrated passer. Colon is a lanky guard prospect who has the ability to make a name for himself this AAU season.
Jahlil Owusu Jahlil Owusu 6'2" | CG Bergen Catholic | 2027 State NJ , 6’2 Bergen Catholic
Owusu is an intriguing prospect in the 2026 class with his combination of size and length in the backcourt. The 6’2 guard uses his size to see over his defender and is able to draw contact around the basket. Owusu is a good finisher around the basket and rarely gets rattled by on-ball pressure. He has the length to defend both backcourt spots and is a strong rebounder for a guard. Owusu has the potential to breakout this AAU season with his combination of size, length and skill.
MJ Jarrell MJ Jarrell 6'2" | CG Morristown-Beard | 2027 State NJ , 6’2 Morristown-Beard
Jarrell had a big freshman season as he poured in nearly 400 points. The 6’2 guard has a nice release on his jumper as he wastes little motion and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Jarrell is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and finish around the basket. He is a solid rebounder and gets deflections on the defensive end. Jarrell is a high-scoring guard prospect who is looking to carry it over into the spring and summer.
Jamal Dixon Jamal Dixon 6'0" | CG Gill St. Bernard's | 2027 State NJ , 6’0 Gill St. Bernard’s
Dixon played more off the ball in his debut varsity campaign, but has the ability to play on the ball as well. The 6’0 guard has a good handle, which he uses to get into the paint and finish around the basket. Dixon moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He plays with good floor vision and slides his feet on defense. Dixon’s ability to play on and off the ball is something that will help his game in a big way throughout the spring AAU season.
