Below is a review of three teams featuring prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who have impressed scouts and more importantly college coaches during early April.   [program_tooltip program_id='2423459' first='PA' last='Hoops Academy'] 17U HGSL   PAHA's upperclassmen group had a remarkable showing at the Pitt Jam Fest, going 3-1. Their only loss came in the championship game of their 17U division. Point guards [player_tooltip player_id='1454262' first='Rowan' last='Miller'] (1st Team All- Central League) and [player_tooltip player_id='2427312' first='Wilson' last='Udo'] impressed. Miller did a fantastic job off balancing his scoring with distributing to teammates. Udo is a 2027 “playing up” with the 17s. He created off the dribble for himself and others. Plus, Udo knocked down threes all weekend. Electric wing [player_tooltip player_id='1890528' first='Deymein' last='Doctor'] provided transition points and scored off slashes to the cup in the half-court. Three-point ace [player_tooltip player_id='1466596' first='Caleb' last='Jameson'] provided perimeter spacing. Two-way guard [player_tooltip player_id='2251710' first='Will' last='Lesovitz'] turned heads as well. Keep an eye on combo-guard [player_tooltip player_id='2710256' first='Jack' last='Quinn'] (Cardinal O'Hara) this spring. He flashed a versatile skill set in Pittsburgh.   [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] 15U UAA   Pride's youngest group went 5-0 at the Pitt Jam Fest and captured their 15U division hardware. High flying wing prospect [player_tooltip player_id='2614919' first='Dylan' last='Powell'] impressed with his open court skills as well as his ability to blow past defenders off the dribble in the half-court. College coaches will love Powell's athleticism and attacking style. Floor general Isaiah Dill piloted the fast break for scores and assists. Dill also provided menacing on ball defense. 6'10” post presence [player_tooltip player_id='2397565' first='Daniel' last='Gilhool'] provided interior scoring and rebounding. Gilhool displayed improved footwork on his interior moves as he repeatedly converted through contact. Combo-guard Rocky Johnson caused matchup issues all weekend long with his three-level scoring. 6'8” power forward Jeremiah Adedeji (Archbishop Wood) is a player to watch going forward.    [program_tooltip program_id='2428018' first='Sideline' last='Cancer'] 17U MHC   This loaded [program_tooltip program_id='2428018' first='Sideline' last='Cancer'] roster tipped off the spring 2025 grassroots season by running up a 4-0 record at the MHC East Mania event in Washington, DC. Their average margin of victory across that stretch of victories was 12 points per contest. All-everything guard [player_tooltip player_id='1454311' first='Jelani' last='Easter'] continued to play stellar ball. His athleticism, speed and finishing skills produced a slew of transition buckets. 5A state tournament stock riser [player_tooltip player_id='2438097' first='Cam' last='Sweeney'] continued to grab the attention of college coaches with his agility and three-level scoring skills. Additionally, Sweeney was a plus defender all weekend. 6'9” hybrid forward Aiden McKee displayed an intriguing three level scoring skill set. McKee has already poured in 1,200+ career points at Warriors Runs HS and is a prospect to continue watching this spring. Electric wing [player_tooltip player_id='1888854' first='Ya'majesty' last='Washington'] impressed with his off the dribble creation for himself and teammates. Sharpshooter [player_tooltip player_id='2427983' first='Cole' last='Trn'] drained threes from all over the court.
