15U
The backcourt could be one of the biggest strengths of this crew. Jaren Curtis Jaren Curtis 6'1" | PG Bishop McNamara | 2025 State MD is well known in the area after a promising freshman campaign. Aiden Argabright will be a player to watch this spring and beyond. He did not play much during his freshman year at SSSAS, but expect that to change next season. Jacob Randall Jacob Randall 6'3" | SF Severn | 2025 State MD from Severn is a hard-playing wing who can put the ball in the hole. Keep an eye on Frank Siaca-Bey Frank Siaca-Bey 6'8" | C Fairfax Christian | 2026 State VA of Georgetown Prep. His size will be difficult for most foes to contend with.
16U
Kingston Price Jr. brings great leadership intangibles to this team. He enjoyed a breakout year at Severn and is poised to keep that momentum going. Elijah Flowers of Potomac School has serious long-term potential. He is still growing into his body and could become a game-changer with this group.
17U
It appears that super sophomores Khani Rooths Khani Rooths 6'7" | SF IMG Academy | 2024 State #16 Nation FL and Jaeden Mustaf Jaeden Mustaf 6'4" | SG OTE | 2024 #51 Nation GA will be playing up with the 17’s this year. These two should have no problem with the physicality that the 3SSB commands. Baba Mbengue is a legit 7-footer who will man the middle for this group. He has untapped potential that is still being realized but is already an impact player. This team does not lack depth. All-MAC performers Marcel Gardner Marcel Gardner 6'9" | C St. Andrew's | 2023 State MD and Khalil Williams Khalil Williams 6'5" | SG Potomac (McLean, VA) | 2023 State VA will play key roles. And the guard play should be rock solid behind New Hope standout Kennard Davis Kennard Davis 6'5" | PG Vashon | 2023 MO and Rock Creek’s Ty Williams Ty Williams 6'1" | PG Rock Creek Christian | 2022 State MD .
