<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who played outstanding ball over the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2391362"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6731614be7383"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Over the weekend we highlighted Brown as one of the top uncommitted power forwards in the region. On Saturday he made us look good by posting 22 points, 8 rebounds and 12 blocks against Mt. Zion. Brown's athleticism and quickness were on full display as he frequently blew past defenders off one or two dribbles for dunks and lay-ins. His jump shot proved to be a legitimate weapon too. Brown also ran the floor for secondary beak points. Obviously on defense Brown was a shot blocking machine.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2478632"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6731614be73e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last year at Muhlenberg High School, Collado was a 1st Team All-Berks selection. He tipped off his post graduate season at Phelps by registering 20 points to go along with 6 assists versus Prestige Prep (NY). This lefty with a pure stroke drained 6 triples during the season opener. When he was not popping threes, Collado scored on slashes to the cup and was automatic from the free throw line. He also generated a few steals / deflections which led to easy fast break buckets for himself or teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1484307"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6731614be742d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This Xavier commit got his senior season off to a fantastic start by stuffing the stat book with 19 points and 11 rebounds during Westtown's win over Phelps School. Forsythe scored at every level, but his transition scoring and 3-point shooting were especially impressive. Forsythe's agility, nose for the ball and quick second jump enabled him to gobble up rebounds. He converted several offensive rebounds into points.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1601169"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6731614be746e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nnani dropped 20 points in Phelps' loss to Westtown and he made it look easy. He is a long and fast stretch-4 prospect with deep range on his jumper. Nnani's size and lift allowed him to shoot over defenders and even double teams. Nnani did considerable damage in the open court too. On defense Nnani was a plus player who displayed the ability to guard 2 through 5. Nnani recently committed to Arkansas State. He is a major “get' for the Red Wolves program.        </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1383005"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6731614be74b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The No. 3 rated prospect in our 2025 rankings and recent Temple commit got 2024-25 off to a fast start as he registered 27 points and 6 rebounds against Phelps. Wallace drained 3 treys, scored in transition and via quick post ups. However, his most impressive work was done in the mid-range. At that level Wallace's polished footwork and crafty dribble moves produced several attention-grabbing buckets. Wallace also did a remarkable job of getting into the paint and then dropping dimes to the dunker spot or baseline cutters. After the 2023-24 season Wallace was a 1st Team All-FSL as well as a 1st Team All-Area selection. This year we expect him to contend for the Friends League as well as the Area POY awards.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
