Allen led the charge for TLBA UAA this past weekend with Isaac Ellis Isaac Ellis 5'11" | PG Moravian Prep / YNG Dreamerz Overtime Elite | 2027 State #113 Nation NC out with injury. He averaged 24 Points and 6.5 Rebounds per game. Allen is a high level catch and shoot option with the ability to play above the rim in transition. Defensively his motor is always running along with being a really strong rebounder for his size/position. Allen is constantly making 2nd and 3rd efforts that lead to a rebound being secured or a loose ball battle being won. His do it all mindset along with his level of effort makes his production nearly undeniable. Allen can get streaky shooting the ball and if that aspect of his game ups in consistency, he could see a real rise in the next rankings update. His ability to step up with his team short handed has been very impressive and will certainly bode well for him as this group gets back to full strength very soon.

Allen had a really strong season in Overtime Elite with The YNG Dreamerz/Moravian Prep and has a chance to follow the path of other shot makers who have come through the same program. Though his game is much different than both Abu Yarmah and Kohl Rosario Kohl Rosario 6'5" | SF Moravian Prep / YNG Dreamerz Overtime Elite | 2026 NC , he has many of the same traits as those two and they had a ton of success under this system. Allen started to emerge as a feature piece for this team as the season went along, and I fully expect him to pick up right where he left off once this group continues play this summer on the UAA circuit with TLBA. Allen had a few breakout games in the OTE Playoffs in a season where he really established himself as a division one prospect with his ability to make shots off the catch, provide a ton of energy at both ends, and show the flashes of athleticism in transition where he finished above the rim with consistency. He’s a perfect system fit for what TLBA does and finds himself in a role where he’ll be relied on to score the ball and he appears to be more than ready for the challenge ahead.

Allen has been a great addition to North Carolina as he enjoyed a really strong season at Moravian Prep and in the OTE league. With deep range and above the rim pop, Allen fits the mold of a few other guys to come to Moravian and see their recruitment skyrocket after going all in on development. There’s a good chance that happens here as Allen has an incredible foundation to build upon and from all accounts is a real worker in the gym. He showed that he can be a feature guy when needed and when his teammates got hurt he delivered signature performances in big spots. He averaged 11.9 Points, 6.2 Rebounds, 1.7 Assists, and 1.3 Steals per game on 42/31/68 splits. If Allen can improve his efficiency as his usage also goes up next season, his ranking will surely rise as it will be undeniable at that point.

Now at Moravian Prep and in the class of 2027, expect Allen to be in the upper echelon of those rankings when they drop. Allen is as Coach Ellis would describe a “jugg” meaning that he just does what he’s supposed to do, to the best of his abilities, with toughness being on the forefront of everything. Allen has deep range on his shot, capable of playing above the rim in the open floor, and has an elite pursuit of the basketball on the glass or really whenever it’s available. Allen fits in like a glove with everything Moravian does. Allen does a great job flourishing within the Moravian system while possessing the individual talent to make plays within it. With the physical gifts and skillset that he possesses, expect Allen’s stock to continue to rise, and his game to show an even greater level of evolution with the time he’ll be spending at Moravian.

Up from 29: Pure scorer. Averaged nearly 35 points per game at Gatewood and now joins Newton, a huge step up in competition. Athletic shooter is knock-down off the catch. D-I offers shouldn’t be far off.

Elite scorer has deep range and a quick release. Has seen his stock rise over the past two seasons playing with Game Elite. Provides immediate offense off the bench. While three-point shooting is his forte, 237-670 (35%) over his last two seasons, Allen is also a bouncy athlete that can finish with dunks downhill. Matt posted 35.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 3.7 steals per game.

Up from No. 46: Electrifying scorer flat out strokes the ball from distance. Is more than a one trick pony however. Has a quick first step to the hoop and finishes above the rim. Averaged 34.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 4.5 steals last season. Spent time with Game Elite over the offseason, gaining more exposure.

This year as a Sophomore, Matt Allen Matt Allen 6'4" | SG OTE | 2027 State NC joined the 1000-point club, in just his short varsity career. Most student-athletes that score 1000 points or more, during their high school career, do so as upperclassman, majority of them as a senior. But when you’re averaging over 30 ppg, this feat is achievable a lot sooner. Matt’s ability to knock down the 3-ball is one of the reasons he’s able to score at such a high clip. While playing with Game Elite 3SSB 2026, he’s had several games where he’s shot for over 70-80% from deep. He’s in the middle of a growth spurt and it’s helping him on the defensive side of the ball, having a longer wingspan than he had earlier in the year. Matt makes good decisions with the ball and understands how to move the ball within the offense. Matt is expected to have a strong summer outing and should find himself in the rankings soon. College coaches should really do their research on him as soon as they can, as he can help their programs in several ways.
