<h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1225259' first='Jordan' last='Brathwaite'] | guard | Good Counsel</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Brathwaite was the third-leading scorer for GC at Capitol Hoops Summer League. Despite the small sample size, the 6-foot-3 guard should be among the Falcons' top producers in the winter.</p>

<h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1366890' first='Brendan' last='Johnson'] | guard | Calvert Hall</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Calvert Hall lost quite a bit from last season. Johnson will be one of their top returners. He is a smooth swingman who should score in the double-figures regularly. </p>

<h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1491236' first='Malachi' last='Mercy'] | guard | Fairfax</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mercy popped on our radar this fall at the Top 250 Expo. He's a rangy guard who looks like he might be a difference-maker on both ends moving forward for the Lions. </p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2>Steve Ndingue | forward | Churchill</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Coach Blumenthal raved about Ndingue when we went to see the Bulldogs work out in the fall. He'll find his way on the court as an energy guy. Expect Ndingue to make his presence felt in the frontcourt. </p>

<h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1579099' first='Holden' last='Williamson'] | guard | Spalding</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A lot of talent graduated from Spalding in 2022. Williamson looks like one of the guys ready to step up for Coach Pratt. He'll be a consistent threat from three for this new-look group. </p>
