Below is a review of the SEPA prospects college coaches need to be watching on Saturday at the 2024 Rare Footage Spring Fling.
17U
Jake Dallas Jake Dallas 6'3" | SG York Catholic | 2025 PA – 6’3” / 2025 / York Catholic / Team Final Red EYBL / Shooting Guard: Dallas (1,000+ point scorer) posted a monster junior campaign where he averaged 23 points to go along with 5 rebounds per night while shooting 37% from behind thar ac. He was a 1st Team All-YAIAA selection and garnered 3A 2nd 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.
16U
Jalyn Hopkins Jalyn Hopkins 6'5" | SF West Philadelphia | 2026 State PA – 6’5″ / 2026 / West Philly / BW Elite / Small Forward: 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.
15U
Malik Brown – 6’3” / 2027 / Lower Merion / East Coast Power HGSL / Wing: 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.
