He was a 1^st Team All-YAIAA selection and garnered 3A 2^nd Team All-State honors. When Dallas is not lacing three balls (60 3PM) this past season, he was putting the ball on the deck to create scoring opportunities for himself and teammates. When he gets to the rim, Dallas can finish with either hand. His mid-range game is an underappreciated element to his skill set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>16U</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2400241' first='Jalyn' last='Hopkins'] </strong><strong>– 6'5″ / 2026 / West Philly / BW Elite / Small Forward:</strong> April was a big month for Hopkins as he was a standout performer at both the Rome Runs Philly Preview as well as the Pitt Jam Fest. In the half court Hopkins plays like an old school small forward by producing point on dives to the cup and via the offensive glass. However, unlike old school “fours,” Hopkins is extremely athletic, owns fantastic end-to-end speed and can play above the rim. That trifecta makes him an effective open court scorer. At the other end, Hopkins is an extremely switchable defender and tenacious rebounder. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>15U</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2447918' first='Malik' last='Brown'] </strong><strong>– 6'3” / 2027 / Lower Merion / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] HGSL / Wing: </strong>Thislong and wiry transition phenom put his name on the recruiting map at the Spring Jam Fest. Brown can convert on the fast break through contact or elude fouls with creative finishes. He has also shown the ability to score on quick post ups. Brown can score around the rim with either hand. His accurate jump shot has flashed three-point range. On defense Brown is a tremendous shot blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Additional SEPA Prospects to Watch</u></strong><strong>:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1187931' first='Devin' last='Booker'] – 6'5″ / 2025 / Cristo Rey / [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] 3SSB / Wing</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1888746' first='Fareed' last='Brown'] – 5'8″ / 2026 / Engineering &amp; Sciences / [program_tooltip program_id='2428008' first='Mt.' last='Pleasant Bulldogs'] / Combo Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2427239' first='Yariel' last='Gonzalez'] – 6'4” / 2027 / Allentown Central Catholic / [program_tooltip program_id='2428253' first='Team' last='Final Red'] EYBL / Wing</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1601177' first='Brycen' last='Martin'] – 6'0” / 2025 / Scranton Prep / [program_tooltip program_id='2245515' first='NEPA' last='Elite'] HGSL / Combo Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1576724' first='Zion' last='Robinson'] – 6'1” / 2026 / Math.
