Prospects from around the state are making waves across the grassroots landscape. And with the June Live Period approaching, this is a good opportunity to get a snapshot of the rising seniors. This isn't all of them but part 1 and 2 will provide a sense of who is who.   Athlete🐰: [player_tooltip player_id='2551577' first='Aizyon' last='Matthews'] | 6'5 W 2026 Seaford   Forever trying to play above the rim, Matthews has scary bounce that opposing teams have to watch out for. When he isn't going coast-to-coast or cutting off-ball for a lob, he's chasing down shots to pin on the backboard.   Connector 🔗: [player_tooltip player_id='2375188' first='Logan' last='Shaw'] | 6'4 W 2026 Smyrna   Shaw is the type of player who raises his team's ceiling and makes his teammates better without having an outlier skill. He rebounds over and guards bigger players, as well as extends advantages with his passing and by attacking closeouts.   Defender 🔒: [player_tooltip player_id='2352454' first='Kevin' last='Coleman'] 6'3 G 2026 Salesianum   A special athlete, Coleman's flexibility and agility on defense might be on par with his leaping ability. He's able to contain his man on-ball with his screen navigation and blanket him off-ball in lock-and-trail, in addition to shooting the gap as a team defender.   Efficient📊: [player_tooltip player_id='2352450' first='Trevor' last='Webster'] | 6'3 G 2026 Sanford   Webster doesn't need a high volume of touches to be effective because he has a balanced combination of athleticism, skill, and feel. He's a play-finisher who can knock down the three or slash to the basket in the halfcourt as well as he can finish in transition.   Enforcer💪: [player_tooltip player_id='2566663' first='Muadh' last='Johnson'] | 6'6 C 2026 William Penn   As level headed as they come, Johnson plays with a ton of poise while he's throwing his weight around down low. He's eager to meet drivers at the rim, create contact on post-ups, and put a body on someone when rebounding.   Entertaining🍿: [player_tooltip player_id='2364771' first='Vince' last='Evans III'] | 5'10 G 2026 Seaford   The two-sport star is a well-rounded basketball player who makes the game easier for those around him, but he's also a homerun waiting to happen. His steals-for-dunks and pull-up jumpers always get the crowd rocking when the Bluejays need it most.   Gamer🎮: [player_tooltip player_id='2352451' first='Latrell' last='Wright'] | 5'10 G 2026 Salesianum   What Wright may lack in terms of height and speed, he more than makes up for with his competitive edge. With his will-to-win, he's a constant threat to create an advantage, get to the free throw line, or hit a clutch shot in late-game situations.   Force of Nature 🌪️: [player_tooltip player_id='2352452' first='Josh' last='Obiora'] | 6'7 W/F 2026 St. Georges   Obiora has the movement skills, the physical tools, and the will to take over games, particularly on defense. He can cover a ton of ground on rotations, erase shots that are out of reach for everyone else, and attack rebound mid-air for putback dunks.   Handle🪀: [player_tooltip player_id='2352456' first='Nick' last='Baysah'] | 5'10 G 2026 Howard   With the ball on a string, Baysah has a rare creativity usually reserved for the playground and video games. Combine that with his burst, there's no spot he can't get to because there are few defenders who can stay in front of him 1-on-1.
