Jahmir Smith Jahmir Smith 6'0" | PG Centennial Highschool | 2023 GA , 6’0 PG Holy Spirit
Smith has been a key part of the Spartans attack in each of his first two seasons, but he is set for an even bigger junior campaign. The 6’0 guard is lighting quick with the ball in his hands, making it tough for opponents to keep in front of him. Smith can finish around the basket in a variety of ways and does not mind drawing contact. He is a strong rebounder for a guard and moves his feet well on the defensive end. Smith is ready to lead Holy Spirit deep into the sectional tournament this season, which should help his stock in a big way.
Jackson Tindall Jackson Tindall 6'7" | PF St. Peter's Prep | 2024 New E , 6’7 SF St. Peter’s Prep
Tindall is on the verge of breaking out and will have every opportunity to do so this season. The 6’7 wing has a nice release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Tindall is more than just a shooter as he can also finish around the basket and handle the ball on the perimeter. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor. Tindall is a two-way wing prospect who will be a prospect to watch in North Jersey this season.
Quatrell Wilson Quatrell Wilson 6'5" | SF Newark East Side | 2023 State NJ , 6’5 SF Newark East Side
Wilson’s stock has been going up steadily since the summer and it should go up even further with more looks on the offensive end. The 6’5 wing is at his best going down hill as he attacks the basket strong and can finish through contact. Wilson has a good touch on his free throws and his range extends to the three-point line. He is a good rebounder and makes plays on the defensive end with his combination of size and athleticism. Wilson is a lanky wing prospect who is set for a breakout 2021-22 season.
Tyleel Hall Tyleel Hall 6'3" | CG Olympus Prep | 2023 State NJ , 6’3 CG Olympus Prep
Hall is set for a breakout campaign for Olympus Prep as he gets to display his all-around skillset. The 6’3 guard knows how to get by his defender off the bounce with his quick first step and good handle. Hall is a good finisher around the basket and can knock down open shots when given space on the perimeter. He is an underrated passer and is a solid on-ball defender. Hall is an intriguing prospect to watch as he gets more touches in Olympus Prep’s offense.
Evan Cabral Evan Cabral 6'2" | CG Don Bosco Prep | 2023 State NJ , 6’1 CG Don Bosco Prep
Cabral is slated for a big junior season as he provides the Ironmen with an energetic guard prospect. The 6’1 guard attacks the basket with a purpose and can finish through contact. Cabral has a good handle and knows how to get his teammates involved in the half court. He is a tough on-ball defender as he makes it tough for opponents to get into their offense. Cabral is a physical, two-way guard prospect who will help Don Bosco Prep in a big way this season.
