The “Difference Makers Showcase” will take place on November 5th at Life Center Academy in New Jersey. High level prospects from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Virginia will be participating in this event.
Below is a preview of five games featuring prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania that we are looking forward to watching at the “Difference Makers Showcase” this coming Saturday.
Tristate vs. Friends Central: Natural born scorer Mushin Muhammad (1st Team All-State selection; 21.5 ppg.) joins an already loaded FCS roster that includes electric point man Fazl Oshodi Fazl Oshodi 6'3" | CG Friends Central | 2024 State PA (offer from Radford), all-league combo guard Reid Belcher Reid Belcher 5'11" | PG Friends Central | 2024 State PA (offer from Columbia) and standout forward Colin Bowman Colin Bowman 6'2" | SF Friends Central | 2023 State PA . Keep an eye on the Moore brothers of Friends Central. 2024 big fella Isaac Moore Isaac Moore 6'7" | PF Life Center Academy | 2025 State NJ has taken tremendous steps forward and he now projects as a high-level stretch 4. 2025 shooting guard prospect Gabe Moore Gabe Moore 6'0" | CG Life Center Academy | 2026 State NJ should contribute significantly as well. Tip off at 11:00AM.
Paul VI (NJ) vs. Academy of New Church: ANC returns backcourt standouts Jarell Keel and Deywilk Tavarez Deywilk Tavarez 6'2" | CG Academy of New Church | 2023 State PA who are both DI prospects. Plus, ANC added two high level former PCL players via transfer. Juniors Bhasil Laster (formerly of Archbishop Wood) and Nolan Walden (formerly of Father Judge) will help fill the void left by the loss of ANC’s top three scorers from 2021-22. ANC also features two of the most talked about 2026s in the area in guard Dior Carter Dior Carter 6'3" | SF Academy of the New Church | 2026 State PA and 6’6” forward Justin Bobb Justin Bobb 6'5" | SF Conwell-Egan | 2026 State PA . Both freshmen will have major impact this winter. Tip off at 12:30PM.
Life Christian Academy (VA) vs. Rocktop Academy: 6’7” combo guard Earle Greer, Jr. is the No. 1 option for a deep and talented Rocktop squad. He recently torched Phelps School for 29 points. At the other end, Greer can guard 1 through 4. He holds offers from Manhattan, UAB, FIU and NJIT. Greer will get support from electric point guard Ryan Archey and Swiss army knife prospect Louis Vidal. Archery is extremely quick and owns a smooth stop and pop game. Vidal is the “glue guy” that every college program needs. Tip off at 3:30PM.
Cardinal O’Hara vs. Covenant Academy Prep (NJ): A dark horse contender in the PCL, O’ Hara is a highly skilled team comprised of DI prospects. O’Hara backcourt standouts Josh Coulanges Josh Coulanges 5'9" | PG Cardinal O'Hara | 2023 State PA , Aasim Burton Aasim Burton 6'3" | CG Cardinal O'Hara | 2024 State PA (multiple offers) and Izaiah Pasha Izaiah Pasha 6'4" | CG Cardinal O'Hara | 2023 State PA provide the speed as well as ball handling. While 6’7” wing Pearse McGuinn Pearse McGuinn 6'8" | PF Cardinal O'Hara | 2024 State PA (offer from NJIT) spaces the floor with his elite 3-point shooting. Keep an eye on underrated prospects Zuri Harris and Carey Cunningham Carey Cunningham 6'0" | CG Cardinal O’Hara | 2024 State PA . This O’Hara squad plays at an up-tempo pace that is extraordinarily difficult to defend. Tip off at 5:00PM
West Catholic vs. George School: Hoop heads and scouts are going to love this matchup. West Catholic standout guard Zion Stanford Zion Stanford 6'5" | SF West Catholic | 2023 State PA is committed to Temple. Teammates Shemar Wilbanks-Acqui Shemar Wilbanks-Acqui 6'0" | CG West Catholic | 2023 State PA -Aqui, Marcus Branker, Jr., and Adam “Budd” Clark are getting attention from a slew of coaches. Additionally for the Burrs, watch for 2026 standout Kingston Wheatley Kingston Wheatley 6'6" | PF West Catholic | 2026 State PA . George School big man “Kachi” Nzeh (Xavier commit) is an inside/outside threat who is impossible to defend. Point guard Christian Bliss (several DI offers) as well as combo guards Dante Weise Dante Weise 6'1" | PG George School | 2023 State PA and Carson Mastin place constant pressure on opposing defenses. Power forward Luke Bevilacqua Luke Bevilacqua 6'10" | C George School | 2025 State #68 Nation PA (6’11”; 240-pounds) is a high-level interior prospect who has added a 3-point shot to his game.
