Makhai Anderson – 6’6″ / 2025 / Solebury School / We R1 / Wing: Anderson is a PJAC newcomer as he spent last season at Platt HS in Connecticut. He is an extremely talented wing with three level scoring abilities. Anderson excels in the open court where he plays above the rim and will finish with authority. He can also drain triples all day. Back in October Anderson scored 23 points in a scrimmage against a talented Perkiomen Valley squad.
Devin Booker Devin Booker 6'5" | SF Cristo Rey Philadelphia | 2025 State #347 Nation PA – 6’5″ / 2025 / Cristo Rey / K-Low Elite / Wing: In 2022-23 Booker was a 1st Team All-PJAC selection after posting 24 points, 7.4 boards and 2 blocks per game. He is a long and athletic hybrid forward who thrives in transition, can score off the dribble and is a force on the offensive glass. Booker also owns a jumper that is accurate out to 16 feet. His pile of offers includes FGCU, Temple, and LaSalle.
Josiah Hutson Josiah Hutson 5'9" | PG Cheltenham | 2026 State PA – 5’9” / 2026 / Cristo Rey / Hunting Park Warriors / Point Guard: This 2022-23 1st Team All-Ches-Mont League selection transferred from Cheltenham to Cristo Rey where he will have an immediate impact. Hutson (14 ppg. and 3.5 apg. last season) is a primary ball handler with a scorer’s mentality. He possesses next level quickness and elusive handles. Those assets enable Hutson to get into the paint where he can score or distribute. His can splash jumpers from multiple spots on the floor, but pull-up threes are his specialty (multiple games of 4+ 3PM).
Joell Idrovo – 5’11″ / 2024 / Solebury School / United Platinum / Combo Guard: Idrovo is ashifty lefty who can stroke treys from all over the court and score off the dribble. He is excellent at pushing the rock in transition to score or distribute. Idrovo possesses creative handles which he can use to get to his floater / mid-range game or all the way to the cup. In early November Idrovo averaged 25 ppg. during the Made Hoops tournament at Spooky Nook.
Antoine Seals – 5’10″ / 2024 / Girard College / Combo Guard: Sealsis an extraordinary 3-sport athlete — soccer, hoops, and baseball. During his junior campaign on the hardwood, this two-way guard averaged 21 point and 7 rebounds per game. That stat line led to a 1st Team All-PJAC selection for Seals. He is an off-the-dribble maestro who creates opportunities for himself and teammates. His mid-range pull up game is impressive too. As a bonus to his offensive skills, Seals plays menacing on-ball defense, frequently producing steals and deflections.
Tyler Simpson Tyler Simpson 6'2" | PG Solebury School | 2025 State PA – 6’2″ / 2025 / Solebury School / United NJ / Point Guard: Simpson is a scoring lead guard with a ridiculously quick first step and elusive handles. Those assets combined with his elite athleticism and exceptional instincts propelled Simpson to an average of 18.4 points per contest last season. Simpson (2nd Team All-PJAC in 2022-23) is a transition scoring phenom. In the half court he can blow past defenders off the dribble for mid-range buckets or lay-ins. Simpson’s 3-point shot must be respected too.
