<p class="text-gray-700">This athletic hybrid-forward saw his recruiting stock skyrocket during the 2024-25 season. Bakare is a high IQ scoring machine who can pop threes, slice through a defense off the dribble and slice to the cup for back door lay-ins. Bakare also excels on the fast break where he can finish with authority. This week Bakare received an offer from South Florida.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">It has been a busy week for the current No.4 ranked prospect in our Class of 2026 rankings. First, Foster received and offer from Virginia. Next, Foster announced he is departing Archbishop Carroll and transferring to Link Academy (Branson, Missouri). During his junior season in the Philly Catholic League, Foster (2nd Team All-PCL selection) averaged 21 points and 7 rebounds per game while draining 44 threes on the season. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Earlier this week, one of the hottest backcourt prospects in the state received an offer from North Carolina A&T. During the 2024-25 season, Francis averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds and 4.3 assists per contest. That impressive stat line earned Francis a 1st Team All-PCL selection. Francis is a floor general with a complete skill set. He can score at all three levels, distribute, and defend. Plus, Francis thrives in the open court.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jackson just added an offer from Pitt to his large pile. That should not come as a surprise as Jackson has been tearing up the spring grassroots circuit with his three-level scoring. This athletic and bouncy wing with a highly accurate 3-poit shot has become one of the hottest recruits in Pennsylvania. During the 2024-25 season Jackson averaged 13.4 points to go along with 5 rebounds per game and drained 51 threes on the season. He was named a 2nd Team All-PCL and 2nd Team 6A All-State selection. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kelly just received an offer from Lafayette College and given his outstanding play over the last six months we expect more offers are on the way. In 2024-25 this talented hybrid-forward averaged 15 points per night and was named as a 1st Team All-Inter Ac selection. On the spring grassroots circuit, Kelly has been unstoppable thanks to his combination of perimeter shooting and ability to score on the interior.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">In his first season playing in Pennsylvania, Miller averaged 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assist per contest. He also racked up several 30-pieces. Miller's tremendous junior campaign garnered him 2<sup>nd</sup> Team All-State (PAISAA) as well as 1st Team All-Friends School League selections. Now Miller has picked up an offer from FGCU.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the most feared perimeter scoring machines in Pennsylvania picked an offer from Drexel this week. Down the stretch of the 3A state tournament, Pratt posted games of 30 and 27 points. Pratt is an agile and elusive guard with elite dribble drive moves, an automatic 3-point stroke and fantastic transition scoring skills. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Vigo (22 ppg. last season; Area POY; 1,500+ career points) has been making headlines of late. First, he announced that he would take a post graduate year at Phelps School. Next this athletic and explosive guard prospect went out on the grassroots circuit and destroyed the competition. As a result, Vigo was named a standout at both EYBL / CL events this spring. Now he has added an offer from Merrimack to his growing pile.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">During his senior season, McFadden was the ultimate “glue guy” for MP. He averaged 10 points per night, dominated the glass and made all the hustle plays. Recently, McFadden committed to Case Western Reserve University (D3). At CWRU McFadden will be a two sport athlete as he will play hoops and be a member of the track and field team too. </p>
