SEPA Early Grassroots Season Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of prospects who have impressed during the first weeks of the Spring 2024 grassroots circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411663' first='Torrey' last='Brooks'] – 5'11” / 2026 / Neumann-Goretti / NJ Scholars EYBL / Combo Guard: </strong>It has been tough sledding on the EYBL circuit for this Scholars team (0-7), but Brooks was a standout performer at EYBL's second session. Brooks scored transition buckets, drained threes, and blew past defenders with his dribbles drives. At EYBL Session 2, Brooks averaged 17.7 points and 4 rebounds per game. He recorded 20 points (4 threes) against Georgia Stars and poured in a tourney high 31 points (4 triples) versus Why Not (CA).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1611959' first='Derrick' last='Morton-Rivera'] </strong><strong>– 6'4″ / 2026 / Father Judge / NJ Shoreshots Rio UAA / Combo Guard:</strong> After tremendous runs at the Pitt Jam Fest as well as the Spring Jam Fest, Morton-Rivera traveled to UAA Session I in South Carolina and continued to impress. At UAA Session I, he contributed 16 points per contest and shot 48% from behind the arc. His ability to rain in threes from NBA distance sets up his attacks on the rim. The combination of Morton-Rivera's end-to-end speed and elusive handles enable him to thrive on the fast-paced grassroots circuit. Morton-Rivera's size and solid frame allow him finish through contact with relative ease. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Joey O'Brien – 6'5” / 2026 / LaSalle CHS / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Wing: </strong>O'Brien is well-known as a nationally ranked football prospect with multiple DI offers. However, this spring on the hoops court he has proven to be a skilled and athletic slasher wing who can play above the rim. O'Brien is a phenomenal transition player with the ability to finish with authority in traffic. In the half court he can produce points via drives to the cup from either elbow. O'Brien's mid-range jumper must be respected too. On defense O'Brien is a fierce rim protector and gobbles up rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1136565' first='Jake' last='West'] </strong><strong>– 6'2″ / 2025 / Penn Charter / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] EYBL / Point Guard</strong>: After a 1^st Team All-Inter-Ac worthy high school season, West (14.3 ppg.) tipped off the spring with outstanding play at marquee local events like local events like the Donofrio Classic and the MADE Hoops East Warmup. His fantastic playmaking skills were further showcased at the two EYBL sessions as he averaged 15 points and 3 assist per game across those two events. West notched 23 points (3 threes) vs. Pro Skills Elite-Texas during session I as well as 19 points (1 3PM) vs. Vegas Elite at Session II. West's outstanding play on the spring circuit has produced a host of offers for him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Additional SEPA Standouts</u></strong><strong>:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1454265' first='Lymir' last='Green'] – 5'10″ / 2026 / Spring Ford / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Point Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kamani Healey – 6'4″ / 2025 / Abington Friends / PSB-Philly / Wing</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1576723' first='Mani' last='Sajid'] – 6'4″ / 2026 / Plymouth Whitemarsh / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] EYBL / Shooting Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2525533' first='Rocco' last='Westfield'] – 6'0″ / 2026 / Father Judge / [program_tooltip program_id='2428023' first='Philly' last='Revolution'] / Shooting Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
