Isaac Hester Isaac Hester 6'0" | PG Ranney School | 2023 State NJ | 6’0 “ | G| Ranney
Hester is the top returning senior at the Shore on a Ranney team that got a big bump with an incoming transfer to take some pressure off Hester. A talented ballhandler and a lead guard who can beat defenders off the dribble but can also light it up from beyond the arc. Primarily a facilitator, Hester took on a new role last year–Lead Scorer–after the Panthers lost a host of talented players to transfer. With Bethea in the fold, he’ll now have another talented D1 prospect to help carry the workload. He had 20 vs Trenton Catholic in states as his top game last year.
Isaiah Fuller Isaiah Fuller 5'11" | PG Roselle | 2023 State NJ | 5’11” | G | Roselle High
Fuller came to Union County with promise from Eagle Academy in NYC, but he unfortunately suffered an injury that hindered his junior season. He’s an intelligent facilitator who can handle the rock, passes with precision but can also score when called upon. He plays at a high intensity level and was very active for AAU and his HS team this summer. He’s a natural leader for a solid Roselle team.
Sebastian Robinson Sebastian Robinson 6'2" | CG Roselle Catholic | 2023 State NJ | 6’2” | G | Roselle Catholic
An all state player as a junior, Robinson has superb ballhandling skills and can finish at the rim and pull up from deep. He’s an intense on ball defender. Good court vision and high basketball IQ. Confident leader who has an extra gear. He’s another piece of the puzzle at RC as they and Camden will battle for #1 in the state–and maybe even #1 in the country.
Christian Pierre-Louis Christian Pierre-Louis 6'2" | SG Roselle Catholic | 2023 State NJ | 6’2” | G | Roselle Catholic
CPL is the most underrated guard in the state. He’s rock solid, very good, under the radar—you name it, he is it—but better than most people think he is…He does the little things and does them well. He’s a tough to defend left handed guard who knows how to get at the rim and has the confidence to attack bigger players. He’s got a soft touch on his shot and is one of the top defenders in the state.
Joshua Ingram Joshua Ingram 6'4" | SG St. Joe's Metuchen | 2023 State NJ | 6’3” | G | Saint Joseph’s of Metuchen
Ingram is a silky smooth guard who has good moves attacking the basket. He can also step back and score from deep. He’s also good at getting out on fast breaks and has spring in his step to get above the rim. Offensively, he’s a well rounded player. Ingram is a tough on ball defender who’s active with his hands and quick feet to create turnovers. He was in double digits against everyone except national power Saint Benedict’s. His top performances were against Monroe(22), Hudson Catholic(18), Linden(17), Ramapo(16) and St. Thomas Aquinas(16). Ingram went off this past weekend at a Hoop Group event, scoring 28 against both Reading(PA) and Ranney, who are top teams in the region. A top shelf prospect.
