Atlantic City Jam Fest: SEPA Predictions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are three predictions for this weekend's Hoop Group Atlantic City Fest (NJ) that involve prospects and teams from southeastern Pennsylvania.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2423459' first='PA' last='Hoops Academy'] 17U Games Will Attract Hordes of College Coaches</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This roster is deep and talented, but more importantly it features several SEPA prospects who created a major buzz with their outstanding play during the high school live period. Players such a wing-scorer [player_tooltip player_id='1848532' first='Zamir' last='Parker-Barnes'], small forward [player_tooltip player_id='1874206' first='Reece' last='Craft'] and stretch-4 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1230538' first='Zane' last='Conlon'] increased their recruiting stock significantly last month. The backcourt duo of [player_tooltip player_id='1271438' first='Jahmare' last='Memphis'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1271436' first='Khamai' last='Orange'] also boosted their recruiting with stellar performances during the June live period. Memphis recently picked up an offer from LaSalle and Orange just took a visit to Drew University. The word is out on this squad, so we expect college coaches will flock to their games in Atlantic City.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2245515' first='NEPA' last='Elite'] vs. PSB Philly-Ferrick is Going to be an Intriguing 17U Contest to Watch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you are a college coach who likes high-level guard play, this is the game to watch down in Atlantic City. [program_tooltip program_id='2245515' first='NEPA' last='Elite'] boasts the talented guard quartet of [player_tooltip player_id='2478645' first='Jace' last='Yedsena'], [player_tooltip player_id='1601177' first='Brycen' last='Martin'], Robby Lucas and Zubayr Griffin. All four of those backcourt standouts can produce points from anywhere on the court. However, what makes this [program_tooltip program_id='2245515' first='NEPA' last='Elite'] squad so difficult to defend is the way the players share the rock and move without the ball. PSB-Philly will counter with their own highly skilled cast of guards in [player_tooltip player_id='1481147' first='Madyx' last='Gruber'], [player_tooltip player_id='1460787' first='Robbie' last='Sukaly'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1874204' first='Anderson' last='Brndjar']. Gruber and Sukaly are two elite perimeter scorers who college coaches are sleeping on. Brndjar excels at creating opportunities off the dribble for himself and teammates. College coaches should also keep an eye out for PSB combo-guard Kamani Healey. <em>Tipoff is at 9:10AM on Thursday.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Sidelines for [program_tooltip program_id='2428253' first='Team' last='Final Red'] EYCL 17U Games Are Going to Be Packed</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This TF-R squad is flying under the radar with the public, but college coaches know the roster is loaded with talent and will flock to their runs. Scoring guard [player_tooltip player_id='2471627' first='Danny' last='Haigh'] is one of the top 3-point snipers in the state. He came in from Pittsburgh for Philly HS Live and shot the lights out. Combo-guard [player_tooltip player_id='1865291' first='Isaiah' last='Marshall'] can score at every level. [player_tooltip player_id='1486760' first='Jahrel' last='Vigo'] is an athletic guard with filthy off the dribble scoring and distributing skills. Vigo and the multi-skilled Heavin McCain form a fantastic backcourt. Small forward [player_tooltip player_id='1867331' first='Tommy' last='Kelly'] is a beast who does all the dirty work that produces wins. Highly accurate shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1764219' first='Jake' last='Dallas'] was a 2^nd Team 3A All-State selection, yet he remains one the best kept secrets in Pennsylvania.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
