<p>Below are ten prospects, ranging from highly ranked to the watch list, that remain available to college recruiters.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1213554' first='Brandon' last='Benjamin'] (#27)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Benjamin, a combo forward from <em>St. Thomas More</em>, impacts a game on both ends of the floor. At 6'8" with a 7'2" wingspan, he's an incredibly versatile prospect, particularly on the defensive end of the floor. He can guard up and down a lineup with his combination of size, athleticism, and length, and plays with a relentless motor on the defensive glass. He runs the floor hard in transition, can score with quickness in the post, and has the ability to show different looks as a screener in ball screens. He's a definite scholarship level prospect that's attracted attention and offers at the mid-major level.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2325768' first='Jacob' last='Davis'] (#57)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Davis, a power forward out of <em>Cushing Academy</em>, sticks to what he's good at and does it at a really high level. Maybe a little undersized, he's transformed himself from being a wide-bodied center to a leaner and more versatile forward. He still makes his impact in the paint, playing with a high motor and dominating the glass on both ends of the floor. He's a solid defender that can move his feet when switched onto the perimeter, doesn't give up position or ground in the post, and just has a nose for the ball off the glass. He makes winning plays and has done so at a high level for quite some time. Another scholarship prospect, it'll be interesting to see which school lands him as a late steal.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2396742' first='Julien' last='Kabori'] (#70)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kabori, a center at <em>CATS Academy</em>, is a long, bouncy, and athletic 6'10" two-way presence. The lefty can make plays from the perimeter, showing an improved outside shot and the ability to show and go as a driver. He finishes with authority in the paint and has built up his body to the point where he can play through contact around the rim. He sets solid screens and has the versatility to play as a roller or pop guy out of them. Defensively, he's long and mobile, allowing him to be a versatile piece on that end of the floor. He plays with a good motor and shows the ability to really protect the rim coming from the help side. He's another scholarship prospect that still has untapped potential and should be on the radar of Division 1 programs.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2427090' first='Jakub' last='Lomicka'] (#91)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lomicka, a center from <em>Suffield Academy</em>, is another long and lean forward that profiles as a modern stretch forward down the line. At 6'10 with long arms, he has great positional size, however he also has a good amount of skill and shows the ability to make plays from the perimeter or in the paint. He can score coming off screens, makes threes in catch and shoot situations, and is comfortable starting the break as a ball-handler off of defensive rebounds. As he continues to get stronger, his ceiling defensively only goes up as he shows an understanding of angles and positioning and the willingness to be physical on the glass. With his intangibles and high level of skill, he's another prospect that should be on the radar of Division 1 programs.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2325780' first='Zack' last='Scherler'] (#109)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Scherler, a center out of <em>Vermont Academy</em>, is a major presence in the paint at 6'11". He built his body up over the last year and now operates with physicality in the paint. On top of having a good feel for the game and solid defensive instincts, he's a capable rim protector that walls up without fouling. He can cover space as a ball screen defenders, rebounds by the rim, and isn't afraid to be vocal. Offensively, he does a nice job of running the floor and establishing early position in the paint. He's a big target to throw the ball into in the post and has a good set of hands both on catches and as a finisher. With his size, feel for the game, and willingness to work, he is another prospect that should be on the radar of Division 1 programs as a potential late steal.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2546925' first='Tyler' last='Vassel'] (#135)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Vassel, a combo forward from <em>Greens Farms Academy</em>, does a little bit of everything to help his team win games. He's a bit of a swiss army knife on both ends of the floor, playing inside and out, and making an impact with effort. Offensively, he really came along as a shooter this winter and now consistently knocks down shots in catch and shoot situations. He puts the ball on the floor and with a quick first step and good size, can get to the rim as a finisher against most defenderd. He's a versatile defender that can guard wings and forwards, gives great effort on the glass and when chasing down loose balls, and is super active in passing lanes. He's the type of prospect that could be a good late get for a scholarship level program or a late steal for academic D3s.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2546819' first='Jake' last='Marcone'] (#182)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Marcone, a shooting guard at <em>La Salle Academy</em>, is an elite perimeter shooter. At 6'5", he's a bigger guard that has the ability to get his shot off over most defenders and he works hard to get open without the ball in his hands. He runs to his spots in transition and does a good job of getting his base set before the catch. He's quick into his shot, has deep range, and willingly turns down good looks in pursuit of great ones. He makes good decisions with the ball in his hands, can attack bad closeouts, and moves the ball quickly as a passer. Defensively, he's a high IQ defender that knows where he needs to be off the ball. He's another prospect that should be on the radar of scholarship level programs but that could also make a D3 very happy this late in the process.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2546839' first='Kamryn' last='Salters'] (#204)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Salters, a combo guard from <em>Notre Dame-Fairfield</em>, is a junkyard dog with a whole lot more skill than is usually associated with that title. Defensively, he's willing to do whatever it takes to win. He can guard point guards on one night and the next night he'll mix it up in the post with centers. He's tough, doesn't back down physically, and is ultra competitive. Offensively, he's a big guard that has a versatile skillset, allowing him to operate as a scorer and creator. He uses his frame to get into the paint off the bounce, and once he's there, he can finish himself at the rim through contact or spray it out to shooters for open looks. He's another intriguing prospect that should have wide ranging interest and could be a Day 1 impact player at the D3 level.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2547120' first='Sincere' last='Monroe'] (#218)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Monroe, a lead guard out of <em>Windsor Locks</em>, is a big time scorer that has the ball on a string as a ball-handler. An undersized guard, he's one of the more impressive shot creators in the region, showing blow by speed off the bounce and the ability to stop on a dime and get into his pull-up game. He's a good shooter from behind the arc that knows how to use a live dribble and hesitations to keep the defense off balance and create space to get into his shot. When he gets a piece of the paint, he does a good job of making decisions as a passer and is in constant attack mode in the half court. He's a willing defender that can guard in space and shows the ability to keep opposing ball-handlers out of the paint. He has the chance to be a nice late pickup for a D3 program and could make an immediate impact at the next level.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2546919' first='Asher' last='Abeles-Tierney'] (#243)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Abeles-Tierney, a lead guard from <em>St. Luke's</em>, is a heady decision maker that can play in ball screens or in space. As a creator, he does a great job of reading the defense and using his eyes to move defenders, opening up cutting and passing lanes. Out of ball screens, he makes good reads, showing the knowledge of when to hunt his shot versus when to create, and has proven to be really good passing on the move. He's composed against pressure, always has his eyes up the floor, and can knock down shots from behind the arc when the defense collapses. He's a high IQ and gritty defender that works hard on that end of the floor. He'll play early on in college and make a program really happy with his ability to run an offense efficiently.</p>
