SEPA Sleeper 17u Grassroots Teams To Watch This Month

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of three 17u grassroots teams from southeastern Pennsylvania that college coaches should not sleep on this spring. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2428023' first='Philly' last='Revolution'] - Team Iverson 17U</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This [program_tooltip program_id='2428023' first='Philly' last='Revolution'] team is an extraordinarily well-balanced group. The roster features two floor generals in [player_tooltip player_id='1608258' first='DeShawn' last='Yates'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2251708' first='Tyler' last='Tolbert'] who are wizards with the dribble. That duo will push the rock in transition and get into the painted area on half-court possessions. Spacing the floor will be elite shooting guards [player_tooltip player_id='2525533' first='Rocco' last='Westfield'] (3^rd Team All-PCL) and [player_tooltip player_id='2121579' first='Brian' last='Donahue']. Stretch-4 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1888864' first='Owen' last='Kelly'] (1^st Team All-Inter-Ac) will provide serious matchup problems for opponents. Power forward [player_tooltip player_id='2352449' first='Alassan' last='N'Diaye'] (2^nd Team All-PCL) is fresh off helping Neumann-Goretti win the 4A state title. He is headed for a stock rising spring / summer circuit. Working with N'Diaye on the interior will be 6'5” small forward Papa N'Diaye from Overbrook.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2423459' first='PA' last='Hoops Academy'] 17U HGSL</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[program_tooltip program_id='2423459' first='PA' last='Hoops Academy']'s top 17U group will feature a host of athletic guards and wings that will play with extreme pace. [player_tooltip player_id='1454262' first='Rowan' last='Miller'] (1^st Team All-Central League) and [player_tooltip player_id='2427312' first='Wilson' last='Udo'] will be responsible for the primary ball handling duties. Miller does a tremendous off scoring and distributing off the dribble. In addition to being a high IQ floor general, Udo can splash threes from all around the arc. Running the floor with those two will be a pair of sharp shooters in [player_tooltip player_id='1466596' first='Caleb' last='Jameson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2251710' first='Will' last='Lesovitz']. Athletic, quick burst wing prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1890528' first='Deymein' last='Doctor'] (1^st Team All-PAC) will provide transition scoring as well as a slasher presence in the half-court. 6'7” power forward [player_tooltip player_id='2537824' first='Joseph' last='Terreri Jr'] will provide points via dives to the rim, post ups and offensive put backs. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Uptown Basketball Academy 17U MHC</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This spring Uptown's Made Hoops Circuit squad will lean heavily on its talented mix of combo guards. Sounderton standout [player_tooltip player_id='2833866' first='Chanse' last='Salone'] (1st Team All-SOL) is a walking bucket who recently poured in 24 points during Donofrio Classic action. Physical combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1460803' first='Paul' last='Glants'] is a unique prospect who can bully defenders with the dribble until he gets to his spots. Glants also excels at facilitating for teammates off the bounce. Shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='2247399' first='Henry' last='Person'] was one of the most accurate 3-point snipers in the Ches-Mont League this past season. 6'3” Doron Ross is a slasher / open court style guard from Frankford HS who averaged 23 points per night across the last four games of the 2024-25 season. &nbsp;Downingtown West's [player_tooltip player_id='2545222' first='Amari' last='Ross'] (6'7”) is an intriguing power forward prospect to watch for this Uptown BA group.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
