2026 NJ Wings to Have Your Eyes On Ahead of May Live Period

As the 2026 recruiting class begins to take form, a lot of eyes are turning towards some of New Jersey's standout wings who are ready to make their mark during the upcoming AAU live period. With college coaches gearing up for evaluations, this stretch is critical for many of the state's better wings looking to boost their stock. Let's take a closer look at the wings everyone should have their eyes on as we head into the May live period this weekend.    Possessing elite athleticism with great positional size and length, Destine Evans is without a doubt one to keep eyes on entering this year's May live period. Evans is a capable shot maker from the perimeter while also being able to put the ball on the floor and finish with power and strength at the rim. Evans also excels in transition, as a guy that can run the lanes and finish above the rim. Look for Evans to put his eye popping intangibles that make him an intriguing prospect, fully on display during the May live period this weekend.     A versatile addition to Epic Elite's 17U group, Sam Owusu-Adoumi possesses an interesting blend of shot making ability along side length and athleticism on the defensive end. A phenomenal shooter from the perimeter, Owusu-Adoumi has consistent shot making ability from three point range and has also shown flashes of shot creation so far this spring all while also being able to be a secondary ball handler for Epic Elite's offense. Defensively, Owusu-Adoumi has brought length and athleticism as a perimeter defender. What should be a weekend that showcases his versatility on the both ends of the floor, Owusu-Adoumi could see a boost in his stock after a strong weekend at UA Rise Session I in Hamilton, Ohio with Epic Elite this weekend.     An efficient scorer off the bounce with a long and wiry frame, [player_tooltip player_id='1412111' first='Brian' last='Tassey'] is comfortable getting to his spots and scoring the basketball at various different levels. What makes Tassey an even more intriguing prospect, is his ability to contribute in other categories aside from scoring to impact winning— crashing the glass and coming down with rebounds, drawing help defense and finding open teammates, as well as using his length to be disruptive on the defensive end of the floor. Tassey's versatility in combination with his ability to put the ball in the basket makes him an intriguing prospect to keep tabs on as we head into the May live period.     Another long and wiry wing in the 2026 class, [player_tooltip player_id='1874042' first='Micah' last='Pierce'] has showcased his ability to use his length and athleticism on both ends of the floor so far this spring. Offensively, Pierce will look to continue to star off the ball not only as a perimeter catch and shoot guy but also as a guy that keeps the ball moving and plays within the floor this Shoreshots' offense. Pierce's length and athleticism have also helped him guard multiple positions. With a strong weekend that sees him do a lot of the little things and be a nice connective piece for this 17U Shoreshots group, look for Pierce to see his recruitment pick up a little bit of steam after this weekend's live period.     A do it all point forward, [player_tooltip player_id='1919211' first='Dorsett' last='Mulcahy'] is a fundamentally sound basketball player who's stock could really boost after this May live period. What's already been a strong start to the spring for the versatile wing, Mulcahy has showcased much of what makes him an intriguing prospect in the class of 2026. An additional ball handler for this 17U NJ Panthers group, Mulcahy excels at getting in the paint and making plays for himself and others, particularly off two feet. Mulcahy also shoots it well from three point range, being effective off the ball as guy that can knock down open shots. As we approach the live period this weekend, look for Mulcahy to make a statement as a prospect to keep an eye in this 2026 class.     A confident and consistent shot making wing, [player_tooltip player_id='2342640' first='Austin' last='Workman'] has showcased his ability to not only stretch the floor and knock down open shots but also attack the basket and finish strong around the basket. Looking to continue much of that on the offensive side of the floor during this weekend's May live period, Workman will also look to continue to make an impact on the defensive end of the floor as well— guarding multiple positions and contributing in the rebounding department.
