#11 | Akbar Waheed III Akbar Waheed III 6'6" | SF Georgetown Prep | 2025 State MD | Georgetown Prep | Previous Rank: #30
Waheed was terrific throughout the summer. He broke out this year in the Capitol Hoops Summer League, where he averaged 14 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal per game while shooting 38% from behind the arc. Waheed will be a player to watch in the IAC for the upcoming season.
#19 | Omarr Smith Omarr Smith 6'3" | SG City | 2025 State #319 Nation MD | Curley | Previous Rank: #19
Smith was the only 2025 prospect named to the first team at DMV Elite 80 this year. That should come as no surprise to those who’ve seen him play up in Baltimore. Smith enjoyed a productive freshman campaign at Curley during which he averaged double figures in scoring. The sharpshooting guard is a safe bet to build off the promising start to his high school career.
#28 | Shane Pendergrass Shane Pendergrass 6'8" | PF Mt. Zion | 2026 State MD | Gwynn Park | Previous Rank: #38
Pendergrass has considerable upside that he is starting to realize. His arrival at Gwynn Park gives the Yellow Jackets a dynamic presence in the frontcourt. We’re told Pendergrass recently posted 20 points, 11 boards, and 8 blocks in a team camp win vs. Bishop O’Connell.
#32 | Patrick Curtin Patrick Curtin 6'2" | SG Glenelg Country | 2025 State MD | Glenelg Country | Previous Rank: #41
Curtin was one of the breakout performers at DMV Live. He averaged 14 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal per game for the Dragons while shooting 34% from three and 89% from the line. Expect Curtin to carve out a key role for his new team this winter.
#33 | Mario Tatum Mario Tatum 6'2" | PG Mt. Carmel | 2025 State MD | Mt. Carmel | Previous Rank: #42
Tatum is a promising guard prospect who has been on our radar for a while. He gained valuable experience with Team Durant on the EYBL this summer. Tatum will factor into guard rotation at Mt. Carmel as a sophomore.
#37 | Isaiah Skinn Isaiah Skinn 5'11" | PG Fairfax Christian | 2025 State VA | Archbishop Carroll | Previous Rank: #60
Skinn initially stood out because of his relentless defensive pursuit. Each time we see him, he shows new elements of his game. In our recent viewing of Skinn at the DMV Elite 80, he did a bit of everything well. The Lions are getting a sneaky-good pickup for their backcourt.
