Continue ReadingWith the update to the 2024 rankings, we recently discussed post players like #5 Deuce Ketner, #26 Jaden Murray Jaden Murray 6'7" | PF Archbishop Ryan | 2024 State PA , and #35 Ty Iwanonkiw Ty Iwanonkiw 6'10" | C Central Catholic | 2024 State PA . But this class has a wide variety of post players to meet any program’s demands, and many of whom are still uncommitted. Here are several from the top 150 in the rankings:
#32 Virgil Hall Virgil Hall 6'9" | C Imani Christian Academy | 2024 State PA | RTS Prep 6’8 F/C
Continuing to overcome adversity, Hall is one of the best bigs in the state, committed or otherwise. He reshaped his body as a junior on the way to a state title at Imani Christian. His combination of vertical pop and broad shoulders make him hard to guard. Now at RTS, he’s a player hoops fans and college coaches should keep tabs on.
#33 Bradyn Foster | Highlands 6’8 F
A four-man who can body you up in the post and stretch the floor, Foster has been Western PA’s best kept secret. He rocked out with Caveman Academy for aau and college coaches took notice. His recruitment heated up late summer and in the fall, receiving offers from Fairfield, Central Arkansas, Penn, Navy, and Lehigh. Then, Foster gave his pledge to the Penn Quakers.
#43 Larenzo Jerkins Larenzo Jerkins 6'5" | PF Neumann-Goretti | 2024 State PA | Neumann-Goretti 6’5 F
Building on his momentum from the summer, the “Renzo Comeback Tour” made a few stops this fall. What Jerkins lacks in measurables, he makes up for in motor and attitude. You can feed him touches inside the arc or he can feast on putbacks. West Chester, St. Thomas (NJ), Goldey-Beacom, Cal U (PA) and Assumption are already pursuing Jerkins for his basketball services.
#73 Jeremiah White Jeremiah White 6'6" | PF Imhotep Charter | 2024 State PA | Imhotep 6’6 F
Making winning plays is all White does. The ultimate high energy guy, his activity and mental toughness allow him to play bigger than he is. White flies and to alter shots, make defensive rotations, and rebound over anybody. And though he isn’t a prolific shot-blocker, White regularly gives up his body to take charges. Those are the plays that he lives for. Any buckets he gets are bonus.
#102 Anthony Lilly Anthony Lilly 6'7" | C Father Judge | 2024 State PA | Father Judge 6’7 C
A three-year starter, Lilly is a crucial yet almost forgotten piece for this dark horse PCL team. He can matchup with other bigs in the low post and anchor the defense as the strong-side rim-protector. Able to accent what his team does offensively with screens and from the dunker spot, Lilly is an improving shooter from distance. He’s definitely a center who small colleges should be all over.
#37 David Fridia David Fridia 6'6" | PF Allentown Central Catholic | 2024 State PA
#41 Elijah Espinosa Elijah Espinosa 6'8" | PF Red Lands | 2024 State PA
#52 Amir Speights Amir Speights 6'4" | PF Constitution | 2024 State PA
#65 Alfredo Addesa Alfredo Addesa 6'10" | PF Perkiomen School | 2024 State PA
#83 Nelson Lamizana Nelson Lamizana 6'9" | PF West Chester Henderson | 2024 State PA
#100 Sean Murphy Sean Murphy 6'10" | PF Upper Moreland | 2024 State PA
#106 Naeem Colston Naeem Colston 6'5" | PF Samuel Fels | 2024 State PA
##132 Lamine Sanoh Lamine Sanoh 6'9" | PF Executive Education ACS | 2024 State PA
