Miles Gally, 6’9″,C, 2019, Richard Montgomery HS Rockville, MD.
Miles is a very hard worker, rim protector & solid rebounder. Offensively, Myles can score from the mid range & he has been working on his post moves. Each time we him play, Miles improves thru his hard work. When Miles practices with DBC, he battles tall players in practice such as 6’8″, Cody Manis, 6’7.5″ WF Nate Spurlock, & DBC alums who come to help. We will be writing a Recruiting Report for Myles in the next days, who we project as a lower D1 college scholarship player to date. Miles earned 2nd Team All Star in the Powerade Platform 16 & U Grassroots Circuit for The District Basketball Club this April.
Savion Gallion, 6’4″, WG, 2018, Thurgood Marshall Academy HS Washington, DC.
Despite being very lean, Savion is very strong, physical & tough. He can score in bunches, from anywhere on the court. He has an excellent & unique power dribble he uses to attack the rim. Savion’s defense is good and his overall skill-set projects him as a D1 player. Last season Savion was awarded 3rd Team ALL Washington, DC by DMV Elite. We will have a detailed Recruiting Report for Savion coming in the next few days.
Isaiah Gross, 6”4″, WG, 2019, Eleanor Roosevelt HS Raiders , Greenbelt, MD.
If a College or University is looking for a high energy explosive wing who can play both sides of the ball, Isaiah is your player. We have watched him many times and he is a high motor wing who is a ball hawk on defense. Isaiah can create steals, block shots, rebound on both ends, and go coast to coast scoring the rim or hitting an open teammate. Offensively, Isaiah can handle the ball, and score on all 3 levels. He does have some Russell Westrook in his playing style and is D1 player.
Marial Mading, 6’9″, F, 2019. St. Maria Goretti HS Hagerstown, MD.
Marial is a very long WF who has a great feel for the game, with very high basketball IQ. With a great upside @ 6’8″ he may project as a WG in the future. Marial is very smooth with a great handle & court vision. He has been working very had on strength & conditioning with the DBC this summer and has made nice progress. His brother Daniel is an incoming freshmen at Texas Tech & Marial currently holds an offer from TT.
Cody Mains, 6’8″, PF, 2019. WT Woodson HS Cavaliers Fairfax, VA.
Last season Cody helped lead WT Woodson HS to a 26-6 record and a Virginia 6A State Championship. He will be a key player for the Cavaliers this season & we have excellent growth for Cody this summer as player and adding 2 inches in height. He is an athletic Big who runs the floor very well, has good hands, a very high basketball IQ and score in the post. Cody earned 1st Team All Star in the Powerade Grassroots Circuit for The Distract Basketball Club this April & will be a D1 recruit.
