<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of Class of 2025 prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who played impressive ball over the last few months, increased their recruiting stock, and thus moved up in the latest edition of our 2025 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2028256"],"_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-67641e853cd7a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>82 to 65</em>…</strong>From the fall ball showcases through the first weeks of the 2024-25 season, Russell has continually excelled as the No. 1 option for AR. His of the dribble scoring has been unstoppable and he has sniped threes from all over the court. Russell has also proven to be a serious open court threat. His solid frame and attacking nature enable him to finish through contact in transition and bully smaller defenders in the half-court. Russell recently posted 18 points (1 three) and 5 boards against George School. He holds an offer from Jefferson University (D3).    </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2028258"],"_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-67641e853cdd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>130 to 115…</strong>In recent months, this FGCU commit has assumed the role of scoring point guard for EA and thrived in that position. For years McCarthy owned the reputation of a high IQ, two-way point guard who could run a team, distribute, and get buckets when needed. However, the unstoppable, three-level scoring skills he has displayed over the last four months have elevated his recruiting stock. McCarthy's crafty handles and ability to play off two feet are especially impressive assets. He recently poured in 25 points (3 threes) in a win over Pennington School (NJ). McCarthy also posted a stat line of 17 points (3 triples) and 10 rebounds in EA's defeat of Gilman (MD).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1271436"],"_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-67641e853ce22"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>177 to 153…</strong>This three-level scoring point guard has tipped off his senior season in ridiculous fashion. Included in Orange's fantastic start to the 2024-25 season are games of 27 points (2 threes), 10 rebounds and 5 assist as well as 25 points (3 threes), 9 boards and 5 dimes. Orange can score in bunches in transition and in the half-court. His speed, quick bursts and change of direction dribble moves enable Orange to get to the cup in both of those scenarios. Plus, Orange sprinkles in enough made threes to keep defenders from sagging off him. Orange can also work as floor general who distributes to teammates. Recently Orange received an offer from Hood College (D3). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2478632"],"_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-67641e853ce66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>337 to 278…</strong>Last year Collado (Muhlenberg HS) was a 1st Team All-Berks selection. So, we should not be surprised that his post graduate year at Phelps has gotten off to a fast start. In the the first few weeks of the 2024-25 season Collado has already posted a 30-piece (4 threes) against Perkiomen School as well as several 20-point games. Collado's ability to produce points off the bounce is incredible. His quick first step, change of direction moves and ability to execute a jump stop enable him to score at the rim with ease. Collado's finishing bag of moves includes a smooth Euro-step and up and unders as well as the ability to use the glass from multiple angles. This lefty can drain threes all day too.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
