TERRANCE WILLIAMS | GONZAGA ’20
Terrance Williams has flirted with double-doubles throughout his high school career to this point, so why should this year be any different? A productive and versatile 6-foot-7 forward, Williams should lead the Eagles in rebounding once again on his way to another all league selection.
QUDUS WAHAB | FLINT HILL ’19
Qudus Wahab asserted himself as one of the nation’s elite shot blockers and rebounders this summer, both in AAU and in various camp settings. A steadily improving 6-foot-11 post with natural shot blocking instincts and length, Wahab should be one of the DMV’s most dominant bigs this season.
CHARLIE WEBER | BISHOP O’CONNELL ’19
What most people probably don’t know about Charlie Weber is that at 6-foot-9, he has a 35+ inch vertical leap. Weber blends this intriguing mixture of size and athleticism with a strong work rate, which should equate to productivity.
CHARLES THOMPSON | ST. STEPHENS & ST. AGNES ’19
Charles Thompson is the heart and soul of the SSSAS defense, and he clearly takes pride in making sure that opponents only get one shot to score per possession. Owning a wingspan that measures over seven feet, Thompson is a rangy post prospect who can secure loose balls outside of his area and high off the glass.
MEKHI LONG | BISHOP MCNAMARA ’19
Mekhi Long is not a traditional big man, but this doesn’t mean he is not an elite rebounder. The 6-foot-7 Rhode Island commit works as hard as anyone on the offensive boards, but also does his due diligence to make sure he consistently boxes his man out. Long is one of the best defensive prospects in the area regardless of class, and his rebounding ability is a major reason why.
