<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of the latest happenings on the recruiting scene in southeastern Pennsylvania (and beyond).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>SEPA Recruiting News</u></strong><strong>:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1460634' first='Everett' last='Barnes'] </strong><strong>– 6'9″ / 2025 / Father Judge / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA / Power Forward: </strong>Barnes was a standout at the Philly HS Live sessions and on the July circuit. During that stretch of games Barnes displayed elite athleticism and a soft touch around the rim. Earlier this summer he picked up a couple of offers including one from Loyola (MD). This past week Barnes took a visit to the Loyola campus in suburban Baltimore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1865344' first='Adrian' last='Brito'] </strong><strong>– 6'5” / 2025 / Pocono Mountain West / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA / Small Forward:</strong> From Philly HS Live in June through the A-Town Showdown in August, a muscled-up Brito displayed better footwork, an improved jumper, and a more assertive approach. College coaches must have noticed too because Brito just received an offer from West Chester University (D2).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1486754' first='TJ' last='Bryson'] </strong><strong>– 5'10″ / 2025 / Penn Charter / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Combo Guard:</strong> One of the best kept secrets in the region continues to see his recruiting stock rise. Bryson is a multi-skilled, high IQ guard who can score or facilitate. He recently took an unofficial visit to Franklin &amp; Marshall (D3)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1197611' first='KJ' last='Cochran'] </strong><strong>– 6'3” / 2025 / Perkiomen School / K Low Elite / Point Guard:</strong> During his junior campaign, this elite combo guard helped Perkiomen capture the PAISAA state title and was a 2nd Team All-State selection. His outstanding play continued during the June and July live periods. Cochran just added an offer from Loyola of Chicago to his pile.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1382984' first='Matt' last='Gardler'] </strong><strong>– 5'11” / 2025 / Marple Newtown / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] HGSL / Shooting Guard: </strong>In 2023-24, Gardler averaged 20 points per game thanks to his highly accurate 3-point shooting. After the season he was named the Central League POY as well as an All-Area selection. This week Gardler visited the campus of Chestnut Hill College (D3) and picked up an offer while he was there.<strong></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1601169' first='Onyx' last='Nnani'] </strong><strong>– 6'9” / 2025 / Phelps School / UPlay-Canada / Small Forward:</strong> Nnani is an agile stretch-4 prospect with 3-level scoring skills. Back in March at the PAISAA state championship game he recorded a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds. Nnani holds a slew of DI offers and last week FIU put their name on that list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2380119' first='Rowan' last='Romero'] </strong><strong>– 6'5″ / 2025 / Lansdale Catholic / Bux-Mont Blue Devils / Wing:</strong> After a breakout summer, Romero's recruiting has gained substantial momentum. Last week Romero (10 ppg. &amp; 4 rpg. in 2023-24) took a visit to LaSalle. His standout runs during June and July have generated a tremendous amount of attention, so we are willing to bet more campus visits are coming. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>SEPA Commitments</u></strong><strong>:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1204052' first='Tyler' last='Robbins'] </strong><strong>– 6'10” / 2025 / Upper St. Clair / Team Durant EYBL / Power Forward:</strong> Robbins posted a monster junior year -- 13.6 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks per contest. He led Upper St. Clair to a 22-win season, the WPIAL Class 6A title and the 6A state tourney quarterfinals. This week, the two-way forward prospect with a feathery touch committed to Miami University (OH).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
