Jackson Tindall Jackson Tindall 6'7" | PF St. Peter's Prep | 2024 New E | 6’7” | F| Saint Peter’s Prep
After being more of a role player in the frontcourt to the guard heavy lineup last year, Tindall will be a focus for the Marauders this winter as a senior leader. Soft touch and a high release point on his shot and can battle on the blow block but can also step back and play outside. He’s athletic and can play above the rim. Tindall had his biggest moments last winter in double-double performances against Hudson Catholic. One of the most under-recruited players in the state.
Matt Kinzler Matt Kinzler 6'7" | PF St. Peter's Prep | 2023 State NJ | 6’7” | F | Saint Peter’s Prep
One of the top players in Hudson County last year, Kinzler is a crafty lefty who can hit shots from anywhere on the floor and is also strong around the rim. He’s a tough rebounder who gets it done at both ends and is part of a Prep team expected to be playing in the Hudson County Final. He had 22 vs Dickinson has his top scoring game last year. He’s got significant D1 interest and will also push for All County honors.
Tavian Pullock Tavian Pullock 6'5" | SF Montclair Immaculate | 2023 State NJ | 6’5” | F | Immaculate Conception
A well oiled wing who is a multi-level scorer. He uses his basketball IQ to drive through the paint and make plays around the rim. He’s got a soft shooting touch and is a tough on ball defender. He had 22&14 vs Newark Central 28 vs MKA and 22 vs Gill St Bernards. Pullock should be a scholarship player as he’s getting the job done vs top teams and Immaculate Conception plays a tough schedule every night.
Tyler Koenig Tyler Koenig 6'9" | PF Pioneer Academy | 2023 State NJ | 6’9′ | F| DePaul
Koenig is an under the radar big man with great fundamental skillset. He’s got a soft touch around the rim and excellent footwork down low to battle on the block. He runs the floor well for a forward his size and also can move the ball in the offense. He hit Lakeland for 25 and Paramus Catholic for 24 and also did a great job against top level competition, including a double-double(18&18) vs Teaneck. Playing against elite competition almost every night, Koenig should be on the radar for scholarship programs at smaller D1 conferences and D2s throughout the Northeast and Rust Belt states.
Jordan Summers Jordan Summers 6'7" | PF Bound Brook | 2023 State NJ | 6’7” | F| Bound Brook
Summers had a marquee junior year for Anthony Melesurgo’s Crusaders. He’s a skilled player who also has the hustle factor. Difficult to defend on the low block with his crafty footwork and soft touch around the rim. He’s also capable of shooting in the mid range and drawing defenders to the perimeter. He’s an above average rebounder. He had 32 vs Franklin, though in the state tournament, RFH and Raritan were able to slow him down. Having a dominant senior year, especially against top competition as the year goes on, will be important for Summers to gain more offers.
