SEPA 2026s to Watch this Fall

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of Class of 2026 prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who we will be keeping a close eye on during the upcoming fall ball season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1406768' first='Sammy' last='Jackson'] </strong><strong>– 6'5” / Roman Catholic / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA / Wing: </strong>Jackson posted a monster summer and increased his recruiting stock significantly. We are interested to see if he can use that momentum as a springboard for an extraordinary fall / winter. In June at Philly HS Live, Jackson's 3-points shooting and off-the-dribble scoring impressed college coaches. Then in July on the UAA Circuit Jackson registered a four-game stretch where he averaged 21.5 points and 5 rebounds per contest. Jackson's physical assets (length, speed, and athleticism) combined with his ability to produce points at every level make him a Top 10 Class of 2026 prospect. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2710216' first='Kevan' last='Kamminga'] </strong><strong>– 6'8” / Perkiomen School / Tokyo Samurai AAU / Power Forward:</strong> One of the most intriguing transfers coming to southeastern Pennsylvania is this 6'8”, 200-pound stretch-4 prospect who is originally from the Netherlands. Kamminga possesses a well-rounded skill set as he can score at all three levels, competes on the glass and is an underrated passer. Kamminga can generate offense from the perimeter by splashing threes and using dribble drives to get into the paint for lay-ins or dunks. On the interior, Kamminga will torch opponents on quick post ups and pick-n-roll action. Kamminga owns good foot speed, so he is also an option of the secondary break.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2247339' first='Christian' last='Matos'] </strong><strong>– 5'10” / Archbishop Carroll / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Combo Guard:</strong> This summer Matos departed Metahcton where he would have been the No. 1 option on offense to join an Archbishop Carroll team that is absolutely loaded with DI prospects. It will be interesting to watch this fall to see how Matos fits with his new teammates. Last season this lefty posted 17.4 ppg. while shooting 40% from behind the arc (67 3PM) and was a 1st Team All-PAC (Liberty Div.) selection. Matos also owns remarkable speed and solid finishing skills, so he is a threat in the open court too. If Matos and superstar point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1608257' first='Ian' last='Williams'] gel quickly this fall, it will spell trouble for the PCL in 2024-25.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2336679' first='Ahmeil' last='McLaurin'] </strong><strong>– 6'4″ / Friends Select / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Wing:</strong> McLaurin has been destroying the competition at the Post &amp; Pivot League this summer. Most recently he posted a double-double of 24 points and 12 boards in the league championship game. McLaurin is an athletic and quick forward with a solid frame. He thrives in transition, can hit mid-range jumpers, and has flashed the ability to score on post ups. He moves well off the ball too, which makes McLaurin a constant back door threat. McLaurin is an absolute beast on the glass at both ends, so he is a double-double threat every time he takes the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
