Aiden Blackwell Aiden Blackwell 5'8" | PG St. Mary’s Ryken | 2026 VA | 5’8″ guard | St. Mary’s Ryken
Blackwell has a chance to be a very good point guard in the future. One thing he did very well was competing on defense. Blackwell consistently picked his man up in the backcourt. He also displayed good court vision and passing ability.
Alex Blanchard Alex Blanchard 6'0" | SG Douglas Freeman | 2026 State VA | 6’0″ guard | Douglas Freeman
We saw Blanchard hold his own at the DMV High Academic showcase against upperclassmen, so it’s no surprise he stood out in this setting. A two-way guard out of Richmond, he is a difference-maker on both ends of the floor. Blanchard finds multiple ways to impact the game. He can score when he needs to, but understands how to get others easy looks.
Jayden Brown | 5’11” guard | St. Anne’s Belfield
Brown jumped off the page immediately in the first game set when he blocked a shot at the rim. He is a rangy athlete who plays bigger than his listed size. Brown reads and reacts quickly on the defensive end. He gets in the gaps, records deflections, and gets steals at a relatively high rate.
Sean Harvey Sean Harvey 6'3" | SG Severn | 2026 State MD | 6’2″ guard | Severn
We may look back in a few years and realize how big of a snub Harvey might have been from the first or second team. Nevertheless, he was certainly one of the better players in the gym on both ends of the floor throughout the day. Harvey shot the ball with confidence. He got to the basket regularly and converted efficiently in traffic.
Zyon McGlone Zyon McGlone 5'10" | PG Kings Fork | 2026 State VA | 5’7″ guard | King’s Fork
There is plenty to like about McGlone’s potential long-term. Listed at 5-foot-7 but with long limbs and a body that he is still growing into, he is sneaky athletic. McGlone often looked to get to the basket where he showed no fear when finishing. Keep an eye on him in the 757.
Mark Stafford Jr Mark Stafford Jr 5'9" | PG St Agnes St Stephens | 2026 State VA . | 5’9″ guard | St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes
Stafford Jr. is a promising guard that should develop nicely in the Saints program. He is already fundamentally sound and quick. Stafford is a reliable playmaker on both ends of the floor.
