Unsigned Senior Report: Inter-Ac

With changes in eligibility, transfer portal, and NIL rules, there are more high school prospects than ever entering their senior seasons still unsigned and without a destination at the next level. We'll be profiling unsigned seniors across the state over the rest of the reason, starting with the Philly-area Inter-Academic League.    Fleming emerged last season as a valuable secondary scorer at George School and will look to elevate even further in his new surroundings at Penn Charter. While he shined last season primarily as an off-ball floor-spacer and perimeter shooter, Fleming will split lead guard duties for the Quakers while showing off an improved ability to create for himself and others off the dribble. He thrived in the June live periods using his skilled handle and polished footwork to get to his spots in the paint and convert efficiently. The ability to function at either guard spot should continue to see Fleming draw D1 attention with a number of D2 programs hoping to see him continue to fly under the radar.     Butts has been a key piece to the Haverford rotation since his freshman year and will look to use his final season both to secure an Inter-Ac title and solidify himself as a D1 recruit in the process. An athletic, high-motor hybrid post, Butts' bread-and-butter is as an aggressive scorer on the blocks but he's managed to steadily expand his game over the years as well. He's able to step away from the rim for extended stretches as a floor-spacer from the arc and opportunistic driver putting the ball down past slower bigs. He remains and active and athletic presence inside on D with the ability to step out onto wings or guards for stretches on the perimeter as well. Lower D1 programs in search of frontcourt help should be evaluating Butts throughout the winter, with him having a chance to look like a steal for the right D2 program should he manage to slip through the cracks.     Size and shooting make for an appealing combination at any level, and Dennis thrives by bringing both to the table. A natural floor-spacer at the forward spot, Dennis flows consistently to open space off-ball before showcasing a smooth and repeatable shooting stroke from a variety of actions off the catch. He's able to use his size and length to make opportunistic plays inside on either end of the floor and has shown progress of late as a straight-line driver attacking wild closeouts off the bounce. Dennis has entertained D1 recruitment over the years and is also exploring the potential of a prep year to develop further and boost his stock even further.     Haverford figures to be in the thick of contention for an Inter-Ac title this year and Gamble's emergence in the backcourt is a big reason why. A lengthy two-way playmaker, Gamble has slowly worked his way up the Fords' rotation to finally solidify a place as the starting point guard. He brings standout size and length to the backcourt with a quick first step and herky-jerky footwork while making plays in the lane. His length and quickness make him a formidable deterrent as a defender at the point of attack as well. Gamble should be a priority for small colleges ahead of his final season with the chance to emerge into a scholarship-level option by the spring with continued progress over the course of his senior year.     Perkins has struggled carving out a role in Malvern's rotation in the past but looks set for a potential breakout heading into his senior season. A fluid, rangy southpaw, he stands out with his length and athleticism on the wing while playing a complementary and opportunistic floor game on the margins. Perkins shines getting out in transition for explosive finishes but shows capability in the halfcourt as a spotup shooter, straight-line slasher, and heady cutting. He'll have a chance to emerge onto college radars this winter with the possibility of a prep year opening up potential scholarship-level opportunities with a jump in his development.
