<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of the prospects who are the front runners to win the POY award in southeastern Pennsylvania's Friends School League.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1153953"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6734061319f90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bevilacqua missed the 2023-24 season with a leg injury, but he is fully heathy now and this recent Lafayette commit is ready for a huge senior campaign. The No. 7 ranked Class of 2025 prospect is a stretch-4 /5 prospect with a well-rounded skill set. He can score at every level, run the floor for secondary break points and rebound at both ends. He will catch opponents by surprise with his ability to hit jumpers from beyond the arc. Bevilacqua owns a high IQ and the court vision of a guard. Thus, when he is double teamed, he is quick to recognize that scheme and then move the ball to an open teammate. On defense “Big Luke” is an intimidating shot blocker.    </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1608275"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6734061319ff7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Our No. 2 ranked 2026 prospect assembled a monster sophomore year (27 ppg.; 7.5 rpg.; 3 apg.) and was a 1st Team All-FSL selection for the second straight season. But because of graduation and transfers, even more offensive production will be expected from Dill in 2024-25. That should not be a problem for this dynamic scoring point guard who already has received a slew of DI offers. Dill can produce points from anywhere on the floor, but he is especially effective in transition. His speed, tight handles and high IQ enable Dill to push the fast break for scores or assists. On half-court possessions Dill can splash threes, hit mid-range pulls-ups, and get to the tin off the dribble. His unselfish approach, court vision and creative passing instincts make Dill a fantastic distributor.    </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1865291"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673406131a03c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">How this electric guard with speed and a multi-faceted skill set remains available is a mystery. Simply put, Marshall is a walking bucket. He is a high percentage 3-point shooter with an impressive step-back move. Marshall is a serious transition threat too. However, his most impressive asset is his ability to score off the bounce. Marshall uses his elusive handles and quick burst to get into the paint for tear drops or lay-ins. Or he can slam the breaks on in the mid-range and then hit a pull-up jumper. His knack for kissing runners off the glass in unique. In 2023-24 he dropped 32-points (4 threes) against St. Joe's Prep as well as 25 points versus Samuel Fels and a was a 1st Team All Friends School League selection.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1848532"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673406131a077"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">College coaches should expect a monster senior season from Parker-Barnes. In 2023-24 he was a 1^st Team All-FSL selection who turned heads with his ability to score in bunches from multiple positions. Then over the last four months Parker-Barnes took his offensive game to the next level and the result has been a surge in his recruiting stock. In recent fall ball action Parker-Barnes has posted multiple 20-point+ games. Included in that impressive stretch of play were performances of 27 points and 4 rebounds as well as 22 points and 10 boards. In addition to significantly improved scoring skills, Parker-Barnes also proved he can work as a floor general style point guard. This fall programs such as Millersville (offer), Southern Mississippi, Maine, and Delaware State have expressed serious interest in Parker-Barnes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1383005"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-673406131a0cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wallace is the heavy favorite to win the 2024-25 Friends League POY award. A quick review of his impressive resume makes it easy to see why. This Temple commit is our No. 3 rated 2025 prospect and is a Top 100 player nationally. As a junior he averaged 18.4 points to go along with 6.8 rebounds per contest. After the 2023-24 season Wallace was a 1st Team All-Friends School League selection as well as a 1st Team All-Area selection. Wallace tipped off 2024-25 season by notching 27 points (3 threes) and 6 rebounds in a win over Phelps. Wallace is an athletic and fast “big guard” who can do it all on the basketball court. His ability to blend his own three-level scoring with keeping his teammates involved is remarkable. Wallace is a two-way prospect who can guard 1 through 4.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
