Northwood Temple Academy is a team to keep an eye on following an undefeated season on the 9Dime Fall League stage. They're a group led by an intriguing attack of [player_tooltip player_id='1428704' first='Kenny' last='Vera'], [player_tooltip player_id='2317156' first='Elijah' last='Kindle'], [player_tooltip player_id='1280941' first='Winston' last='Waite'], [player_tooltip player_id='2626384' first='Jalen' last='Harris'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2626359' first='Patrick' last='Barber'] due for a deep run in the NCISAA ranks following a 20-10 campaign in 2023-24.

It wouldn't be surprising to see Vera lead the way on the rebounding front this season. He's a big guard at 6-foot-3 who isn't afraid to mix it up on the glass and start the break himself off of defensive rebounds. He produced 21.3 points along with 5.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.6 steals per contest as a junior and remains quite a top unsigned name in the PH Top 100 2025 Rankings. He's proven he can do more than just operate at the point guard spot as his game continues to develop. He's a prospect for DII and DIII programs in region in his final year of high school ball.     Kindle is a guard prospect who continues to climb up the PH radar in the 2025 class. He's hovering right outside the Top 100 as he continues to showcase his two-way ability on the floor. He's showcased his ability to be a disruptor defensively while also knocking down shots from deep with consistency. He knocked 66 3-pointers while averaging 16.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game this past season. Kindle is due for a strong senior year as a breakout candidate for this squad in the 2025 class.     Harris is another two-way presence to know in the Northwood Temple backcourt. He showcased a smooth pace with the ball in attack while knocking down shots in the midrange and on the perimeter. He's another unsigned senior with this group with more to prove after putting up 9.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game as a junior. He's another prospect for DII and DIII programs to get eyes on with this group.     Waite is an emerging prospect to get to know in the 2026 class given his prowess shooting the ball from deep. He showcased his ability to knock down shots with consistency with five 3-pointers in the 9Dime Fall League Championship. He's a confident shooter with nice range who's coming into his own with this group.     He'll be another presence in the frontcourt to know with this group given his strong frame and length at 6-foot-4. Barber is a prospect who's quickly working his way off the Watch List in the 2026 class in North Carolina. He's been seen extensively over the past few months and remains a consistent presence inside and out for this group to rely on. It wouldn't surprise me to see him act as the ultimate Sixth Man to have in 2024-25 given his size.
