Keron Booth Jr Keron Booth Jr 5'6" | PG Phoenixville | 2027 State PA . – 5’8” / 2027 / Phoenixville / East Coast Power HGSL / Point Guard: This spring Booth destroyed the competition on the grassroots with his blazing speed and ability to navigate through an entire defense with his creative handles. He was a standout performer at the HG Spring Jam Fest as well as the Rare Footage Spring Fling and we expect more fireworks from Booth this weekend. When he is not blowing past defenders for buckets, Booth will get into the paint for drive-n-kick plays or to drop a pass to a waiting teammate in the dunker spot. Plus, Booth owns a jump shot with 3-point range.
David Maddrey-Rylander David Maddrey-Rylander 6'0" | CG Bishop Shanahan | 2025 State PA – 6’2” / 2025 / Bishop Shanahan / PA Hoops Academy / Wing: Maddrey-Rylander is a long, wiry, and athletic prospect with speed and solid finishing moves. That list of assets enables him to excel on the fast break. Maddrey-Rylander will also pop threes from all around the arc. This lefty owns solid handles and a high IQ, so he can work as a secondary ball handler too. In that role he can attack the cup off the dribble for lay-ins or patiently wait for a teammate to pop open and then deliver a dime.
Adrien Varella Adrien Varella PA – 6’2″ / 2025 / Holy Ghost Prep / Philly Revolution / Small Forward: One of the best kept secrets in suburban Philadelphia is this point forward who averaged 20.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game last season. Varella thrives in the open court because he rebounds well, gets downhill quickly, and can go coast to coast. In the half-court, Varella can splash threes and create off the dribble for himself or teammates. Varella faces double teams often, but he possesses the IQ and unselfish nature to pass out of those traps.
